I think the other DC heroes should get off her case. Marvel heroes never got after Thor when he killed someone, before or after his Avengers days. They are both warriors born. I guess because she's supposed to represent Themyscria, they expect her to hold back.
Orion is another one who takes lives in combat. Superman may disapprove, but I don't see him refusing to associate with Orion because of it.

Uhm, Odin surely got on Thor's ass.
He was depowered after he killed Loki.

I honestly know almost nothing of Thor but having him kill Loki seems almost pointless and impossible because A.) We all know thats gonna mean jack later basically, and B.) Gods are abstracts so i don't really see how they can "be killed" 😬

Gods aren't abstracts at all. They're just extremely powerful creatures.

Thor absorbed Loki's life force into Mjolnir.

superman's reaction was due to his own guilt at his inability to fight lord's programming, imo...

I know that was part of it. Superman & Batman always try to find an alternative to killing, so they don't know how to handle it when Diana can be much easier & decisive making that choice.

yeah, thats true... they're so alike at times, yet so completely different when it comes to issues like this...
i always thought they were quite hard on diana (even lois thought clark was overreacting), but i do see why they felt as if they did...
to be honest i think clark would have preferred she killed him rather than lord, such is his way... birthright did explore to an extent why he views life as sacredly as he does, so i can't fully disagree with his reaction...
not saying diana was right, or wrong, though...

Quite perceptive insight about Supes...he might actually have preferred his death over Lord's, because that's his way of seeing things. It also could be described as not seeing the forest for the trees - for what he does for the world, he shouldn't die so Maxwell Lord could live; that's how Diana saw it.
Clark's reaction was mild compared to Bruce, though - the way he shut her out. Down deep, he's still that angry 8-year old, trying to deny the reality of death.
