Some douchy "warrior" schtick?
Being a egotistical glory hogging show off?
And yes. The more PC PREACHY versions of Di shouldn't be able to. [/B]
Being a selfless noble warrior who values and honors peace but knows the importance of being able to wage war.
Ie. Thor, Captain America, Beta Ray Bill, etc.

I mean, it was made for a Norse *warrior* god to fight frost giants with.
You mean the flanderized versions that don't, technically speaking, exist? [/B]
And by that logic. THE GALL DERN BATMAN COULD PIC UP DA HAMMNER!

Three. Odyssey, Flashpoint, and current.
Still, it's like how some people who don't read Superman has a really exaggerated view of his 'boyscoutness'. There's never been an actual "Preachy PC version," in her comic (some weak runs, but not the same thing).
The retcons and alt versions tend to be more 'dark' versions of WW (overlooking that Classic WW is known for declaring war on people or civilizations and then making it stick).

I don't think the sneaky type is really in line with the Norse warrior thing.

Pretty much.
I never understood why people think Diana is a hypocrite or overly preachy; having ready hundreds upon hundreds of WW comics, I never got that impression, not as a whole and definitely not on the average. And Superman's boyscout schtick is also exaggerated, as well. He's a good guy, but for the past couple of decades, he's never hesitated to show someone what's what.
Originally posted by Q99Eric Masterson was given a free pass with the hammer due to being close to Thor but he wasnt worthy to lift it without Thor or Odin allowing it.
It's generally accepted that you need to be good and steadfast, a warrior at heart, and that sort of thing. An attitude similar to Thor's helps.The ones who have qualified are Captain America, Beta Ray Bill, Eric Masterson, and that type.
