Oi, boks - have you seen the new Helstrom tv show?
Yeah I watched it.
Quite enjoyed it also.
It's got a slow pace and quite the melodrama, but pretty much what I expected. Sort of along the lines of the Constantine show but with family melodrama to slow it down
It's taking the modern retcon that the demon murdak is their father not Satan (which is probably the only thing I didn't like). That and the stupid twist they did on the trainee nun they did at the end. I could have been better if they showed his inner turmoil fighting his darksoul instead of just the family history drama, but that would have meant the possession thing wouldntbhàve worked.

What about lasso time?
WW is not beating Maxima unless a) WW is amped or b) Maxima is gimped via plot.
Not to mention with Maxima's ferokinisis Dianna shouldn't even be able to do anything that Maxima doesn't allow. She does after All wear metal bracelets, so Maxima will have complete control of her opponents arms even without TK (or if her TK isn't strong enough to overcome WW strength you can guarantee her TK plus her ferokinisis is

Why hasn't DC done this yet?
They have. Maxima has bested Diana in print.
Once while possessed by Eclipso and once on her own
Really? Didn't know she had that level of speed. Any scans or issue numbers?
Pretty sure if was in an issue of JLTF. I'd have to hunt to know issue number or scan. I'll try and find it soon.

Maxima speed feats arent that impressive. Am i missing sumthin?
She scales in flat lime speed above Dianna given she's been shown on panel to be faster than character who are faster than others that Dianna can't match.
Dianna does have better reaction feats (since Maxima doesn't really have many at all).
In strength and durability Maxima has a clear edge.
Then for Dianna we add the lasso, while for Maxima we add TK strong enough to hold class 100s, TP, matter manip, teleportation, simulcrams (duplicates), ferokinisis, and Psionic energy blasts.
Maxima has a lot more powers to bring to the table and an edge in only combat reactions doesn't really compensate for that.
