A lot of wonder woman fans hate her having a sword all the time. What do you think?
This is a pet peeve of mine, too.
I don’t have a problem with Diana fighting with a sword, particularly when she’s up against powerful gods and monsters. But I do have a big problem with the sword supplanting her lasso as her primary weapon – the one she reaches for first in stories, and the one she’s most commonly depicted wielding in issue covers, promotional artwork and merchandise.
Because each weapon makes a very particular statement. A sword is a weapon designed to draw blood, to neutralise an enemy through stabbing, slashing and dismemberment. When Wonder Woman draws a sword, she’s implicitly choosing to engage in battle using lethal force, with the expectation that she will have to severely hurt or kill her enemy in order to win.
The lasso, by contrast, is intended to subdue and restrain, while causing minimal physical harm. It can be dangerous, particularly in the hands of a trained warrior like Wonder Woman, but it is not solely a weapon, nor is it designed for lethal combat. And while it can be terrifying in its power to compel people to speak honestly or confront unpleasant truths, it can also be healing, freeing people from illusion and deception.
By choosing to fight with her lasso over any of the myriad weapons of war she’s proficient in, Wonder Woman is signalling her preference to resolve the conflict without unnecessary harm or death – even if a bloodless resolution ultimately turns out to be impossible.
And this is something that goes all the way back to her original conception: When William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman in 1941, central to the character’s premise was the idea of a superhero who solved problems not merely through brute force, but through love and compassion. She was a hero interested not only in defeating bad guys but changing hearts and minds, promoting rehabilitation and finding peaceful resolutions. And when she did leap into the fray, she countered her enemy’s guns with bullet-deflecting bracelets and a lasso capable of peacefully subduing attackers.
Now, obviously Wonder Woman has undergone numerous changes in the intervening decades, but certain things have remained relatively constant. She has continued to be champion for peace; and though she’s fought using a range of different weapons and tactics, her equipment of choice remains her bullet-deflecting bracelets and her Lasso of Truth.
Because while Wonder Woman is capable of killing (with her bare hands, even), and is prepared to do so if it’s necessary to preserve human life – she doesn’t set out to kill. And that’s an important distinction.
“We have a saying, my people. ‘Don’t kill if you can wound, don’t wound if you can subdue, don’t subdue if you can pacify, and don’t raise your hand at all until you’ve first extended it.’” – Wonder Woman vol. 3 #25 (2008)
A brilliant summation of Wonder Woman. She’s killed (even beheaded gods), but the Amazon way is peace first. To draw a sword first is the way of Ares.
Absolute Wonder Woman Annual #1 - "Cursing & Cursed" (2026)

#this was peak perfect so good it was something i've wanted from ww for so long#cant even express it in words...the ambiguity and multiple versions of myth#compassion for women made into monsters by society...
Yeah I love the whole Rucka Medusa arc but it has always had that flaw, that it just accepted a myth at baseline instead of doing the fundamentally Wondy thing of interrogating whose voices are being heard and what else might have been happening there. & this is such a perfect reaction to that. Athena doesn't tell Diana her side, so Diana can only trust her goddess, trust the respect she shows by agreeing to aid her in this task. Medusa makes no promise of kindness, straight up warns Diana that she might be unleashing a monster, and Diana can only trust her own compassion and commitment to her principles.
And it would be fine if it took a deliberately and consciously subversive side, of course. But asking us to ask the question is maybe more valuable, in a context like modern comics where retcons are so routine as to be meaningless and the concept of subversion is so easily obscured. Also, not for nothing, but the take that speaks to me most with this particular myth is that... what can Athena do to Poseidon, in ancient Greece? What punishment of his brother would Zeus tolerate for exercising what, in that insanely misogynist context, both male gods would consider Poseidon's natural right? The best Athena can do is give Medusa the power to protect herself from anyone else, and disguise it as a curse. Which I like because that feels like the kind of myth that might have comforted a Bronze Age Greek woman who told it. And which fits well with the dynamic of Absolute Wondy, where the Amazon patrons are conspiring under the table because they still cannot act directly against the douchebag gods in charge. And is the kind of thing Athena would absolutely not want to admit to, not even to Diana - perhaps especially not to Diana. And which fits perfectly well into this retelling in a way that, despite the ambiguity, I would say several other versions of the myth (Rucka's included) do not.
Also every time I see this it hits me that this panel:
... requires an incredible amount of trust in your art team, and Sherman and Bellaire did not let Thompson down.

THE WHEEL OF TIME Siuan Sanche x Moiraine Damodred Parallels with 3.05 "Tel'aran'rhiod"
Where is Moiraine Sedai? She's been exiled. I'm sure she still writes you. I remember when you were a novice, fawning over her like a lovesick puppy. That was a long time ago. People don't change.

She had never been as close to anyone as she was to Siuan. Or loved anyone as much.
I always forget there are maga people on tumblr, this doesn’t feel like a website you’d find them on, so to keep them away:
Reblog if your blog is a maga free zone because if it wasn’t clear enough fuck ice, fuck maga, fuck Trump, Fuck Rowling, and fuck all the other bigots I missed
mercenaries
Those two are so funny when they’re in similar positions. Malini is up and about dealing businesses, planning revenge, becoming a religious icon, executing people etc etc
While Priya, sweet tired Priya, is faring no better than a badly paid intern who really doesn’t want to be there… she wants a nap, a really long one
Malini in a position of power:
“And there, waiting for her, was a sea of highborn men. Her lords and kings. The rulers of her empire. They bowed, too”
“I am what the mothers of flame require me to be. And they do not require the softness of mercy. They do not require compassion. They require a leader who can face the enemy that awaits us, and loyal men to follow her”
“All these traitors—these men who had chosen her brothers over her, time and time again—would serve her now”
“If she could, she would gut Ahiranya. She would kill Priya herself - Whatever she could destroy, she would. She would”
Priya in a position of power:
“Priya had to say something profound, didn’t she? She racked her brain. - “I’m really hungry,”
“How are you, Rukh?” Priya asked gently. - “Oh, everything’s awful here,”
“The yaksa have made you strong enough for the burdens of your position,” - “Maybe they made me smart enough to delegate,” Priya said dryly.
Instead of replying, Kritika said slowly and firmly, “We mask-keepers can only act and serve Ahiranya if we know the will of the yaksa.” - “Then ask the yaksa.”
“Hear?” Ganam repeated. “Who did you ask, the trees?” - “People still talk to me,” Priya said defensively. “
Lets go new hyperfixation!
