Stardust vs Wonder Woman

Not on this forum, but on other boards. The "wonderfans" on many occasions will simply use her as some sort of faux-feminism springboard to get their man-hating points across.

IIRC, these are the same people that lynched Gail Simon for daring to say that Superman was physically stronger than Wonder Woman.

Tbh, it isn't all Wonder Woman fans. Hell, I'm a Wonder Woman fan. I just hate when a character is twisted and distorted like that by the people who are supposed to support it.

Oh, ok. Gotcha.

Yeah, the ironic thing about Diana and her being a symbol of feminism is that she's also pro-equality across both genders...though that does seem to get lost in translation.

That's a shame because Simone's WW run was pretty cool, imo, and she's not the only person who's said or portrayed Diana as being physically weaker to Superman.

I still haven't seen many people that hate the character.

What the ****? When ever I come in, it's only to argue what WW is capable of. Most times I hardly ever even give her a descive win. And I only step in when noobs low ball her. which is constantly. And I have to remind people of the kinds of characters she's beaten or has dealt with. It's ridciulous to think BRB could walk over Diana when she's so much faster than he is. And she's fought beings like Amazo, Superman, and Circe. And I was the one who helped Fangirl with the WW respect thread. which is very good and used widely across the net. Peopel from the DC boards even refer other people to it. Thanks. I did a lot to BOOST WW.

No one's lowballing her here, though. No one said BRB will walk over her, either. The general consensus is that, either way you cut it, this is a tough fight for both people; regardless of whether someone says Bill or Diana, so long as it's acknowledged to be a difficult fight in general, I can deal with it. And yeah, fighting Amazo, Superman, and Circe are good feats, great even, but taking them out of proportion and using them out of context doesn't help Wonder Woman, either, which is what several people have done.

People lowball Diana, either because of DC hate, ignorance, sexism, whathaveyou. But people likewise also grossly overexaggerate her capabilities, as well. Either way, it's ridiculous.

It would be an intesresting match-up to say the least.

Stardust rely more on "bolt", so the bracelet would become handy. On the other hand, he's much, much more versatile than her, so he could pull out some nasty shit on her. If it goes h2h, again, on one hand, Diana is much more a better fight, but on the other hand, Stardust is tougher, because of he's nature.

I say Stardust 7/10. He's probably the second most powerful herald of Galactus, second only to the Silver Surfer, of course. Being a herald gives him too much of an edge in the versatility department, and when you have that, you have options to finish the fight.

You... haven't?

There seems to be a subset of people who feel offended that she's a very powerful hero, often for vague "there's just something about her that I hate," reasons like Hyperion Prime that, when you ask them about, only give reasons that apply to a dozen other heroes they don't hate. HP isn't the only one who's taken that exact stance by any means.

I see a lot of the sexism but majority of the time, people are playing (even though its not funny).

She seems to get it a lot more than other female heroes though, and joking sexism is still sexism.

And WW fans have had to fight tooth and nail to get her some respect- it's not as bad as it used to be, but there's multiple posters where I'd present arguments and feats for her, then the next thread they'd forget them entirely and I'd repeat the process, and this would happen with multiple posters. It was a real joke, pretty pathetic stuff.

You might not pay much attention to the threads it happens or something, but I think one of the reasons we have some strong WW defenders now is in direct response to the large numbers of haters we've had.

I just don't like Wonder Woman...hate her in fact. I do not have any problem whatsoever with Supergirl, Powergirl, She-hulk, Mary marvel etc

Question I ask to you. DO I have to like Wonder Woman? Some people or characters for whatever reason known or unknown you just don't like There is no hidden agenda or anything like that. You need to understand that.

Leonidas gets it/understands it
