090 Wonder Woman
readx;? By the time Elizabeth Stanton finished her day's work, it was nearly eleven p.m. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
As an academic, and a female academic, she believes she has to put in more time and effort to be successful, but in the eyes of outsiders, she is a cold-talking workaholic.
After taking a shower, she sat down in front of the computer and began to process some of the day's emails, as well as some messages from friends on the Internet.
As the only mythologist in the New York branch of the Federal Women's Rights Defense Association, and she is also very researched on women's issues, so although Elizabeth Stanton is no longer enthusiastic about those demonstrations in recent years, and rarely participates in various salons and other activities of the Women's Rights Association, many members of the association still maintain close contact with her, and often send emails or leave messages to ask questions.
And she spends half an hour before bed dealing with these problems, which has almost become a habit that she can't shake.
"Elizabeth, it's a shame you didn't come to the recent protest against superhero comics......"
A Twitter user with the ID "Claire" sent her a private message.
Claire was actually a friend of Elizabeth Stanton's life, both members of the Feminist Society, and in their early years, both were radicals who supported the demonstrations, believing that this was the only way to make the men see their determination.
However, Elizabeth Stanton later felt that these demonstrations had taken a lot of her energy and delayed her academic research, so she slowly stopped participating in them.
"I've got too much on my hands!" replied Elizabeth Stanton.
"Today's demonstration was a success!" However, it is said that Frank Miller has made a new move, and it seems that he is going to launch a heroine ......" quickly replied.
"It doesn't matter, this kind of work created to cope with our attacks must not be too high, and the impact can be negligible...... Remember the last time there was a boycott of women's overtime?"
"Haha, that time really gave us a good experience, even the mayor of New York couldn't come forward......"
After a few conversations, Elizabeth Stanton replied to several emails asking about women's issues, and quickly finished the matter at hand.
With a long stretch, she was about to go to bed, when she suddenly remembered the new Frank Miller comics that Claire had just said.
In fact, in the past two days, she has seen a lot of news about this comic called "Wonder Woman", whether it is a redit forum or some newspapers, you can see the advertisement of this comic, and yesterday in a program on NBO, this comic was also mentioned repeatedly.
Frank Miller's promotion of "Wonder Woman" can almost be regarded as an intensive bombardment......
"Looks like Frank Miller has been forced to do so much this time, right?" Elizabeth Stanton thought to herself, smiling with a contemptuous request, "but let's go read this so-called heroine comic...... After all, you can only better attack your opponent if you understand your opponent......"
She thought as she opened the redit forum.
It's late at night, and it's certainly not realistic to go out and buy comics, but fortunately, this time AC Comics still authorized the electronic copyright of the comics to the Redit forum.
After spending $1.99 on a credit card for the digital version of the first issue of Wonder Woman, Elizabeth Stanton clicked in with a critical look.
The first thing that catches your eye is the image of a female warrior in armor with a sword and shield in hand, fighting a tall man.
"Huh?" Elizabeth Stanton wondered, this was not the same image of the heroine she had seen these days.
The image of Wonder Woman I saw before was wearing a bikini-like tights and long boots, holding a lasso in her hand, but now I see a female warrior.
And it seems to be an Amazonian warriorwoman?
Elizabeth Stanton has conducted in-depth and detailed research on this legendary female warrior, and has even published several papers that have aroused discussion in the academic community, so she is naturally no stranger to the image of this female warrior.
"Was Frank Miller unintentional?" or was he opportunistic?"
Elizabeth Stanton continued to flip through the comics with confusion.
The next few pages of the comic show scenes of war.
Groups of female warriors battle men and monsters in ancient Greek-style buildings, and in the sky, there are Pegasi and mythical flying beasts.
The scene quickly shifts from the big scene of the war to the individual battle, where a dark-haired woman who appears to be the leader of the female warriors rides a pegasus and decapitates the head of a man.
And according to the dialogue of the comic book character, this woman is actually Hippolyta, the queen of the Amazons!
The man who was decapitated was actually Trax, the son of Ares, the god of war......
Hippolyta then quickly defeated Ares, holding her sword to the god of war's neck.
"Modeled after mythology?"
Elizabeth Stanton came to this conclusion with ease, and she laughed contemptuously again.
Now she was sure that Frank Miller was trying to win the favor of feminists in this way.
After all, almost all feminists adore and are obsessed with Amazonian warriors......
In the comics, Hippolyta is declaring her victory: "Let me help you father and son reunite in the abyss and hell!"
Hippolyta raised the long sword in her hand and was about to slash it down when a voice suddenly came from the sky: "Stop!
The Amazon queen turned around and said domineeringly, "Don't meddle!
"You should spare my child!"
"Why did you let me do this!" said Hippolyta, "look at this battlefield, the blood of my sisters is spilled all over this land! They have been treating us as slaves for decades, women have been treated as your slaves for too long, and I am only using the sword in my hand to fight for the freedom that we women deserve!"
This is the first time in the history of comics that a woman confronts God, and Hippolyta's words are clearly feminist, which makes Elizabeth Stanton inexplicably happy, but at the same time worried.
Frank Miller's new comics don't seem to be as bad as they thought...... And the obvious value orientation revealed in it is catering to the majority of feminists......
Thinking of this, Elizabeth Stanton put away her contempt and began to examine the comic again.

PS: It's a bit late, but this chapter is a Sunday update. In addition, Frank Miller's "Wonder Woman" is basically based on the 2009 Warner Bros. anime of the same name, but the setting has been slightly adjusted, which is explained here so that some book friends can raise various doubts after watching the anime in the future.
1. In the anime, Ares' son Trax was born to Hippolyta, not in Frank Miller's comics.
2. In the anime, Wonder Woman can't fly, but takes a stealth plane, and Frank Miller's comic book is set to fly directly.
3. In Frank Miller's comics, Wonder Woman does not have an emotional relationship with Steve Rockwell Trevor, the pilot who crashed into Paradise Island.
