>>101633595Tbf the "Steve Trevor Jr" thing was used for the TV show but I'm sure something that dumb wouldn't fly today
"Leaks" have been saying stuff like it's an illusion from the Duke of Deception
Personally I'll accept whatever handwave they end up using because I love Pine and I'll be even more interested in seeing how he performs now that he knows the franchise is a huge critical success (from the interviews I kind of got the feeling he had reservations about the film and didn't put his all into it, honestly). And I also felt the WWI thing was a huge mistake from the beginning.
Comics are no stranger to dumb retcons, ESPECIALLY Trevor who in the 70's was killed off and brought back twice
>>101633654Not that hard to believe. After WWI and finding out that the war was caused by human nature and not just Ares, maybe she felt that her interference would just make it even worse, and that since there was no enemy only she could fight like Ares (this would be before Hitler's atrocities became known), all she'd be doing is causing even more bloodshed.
Then the movie will give us some specific reason to come back, like once again finding out there's some villain for her to fight. Maybe the movie isn't even specifically about the Cold War in the way the first movie was about WWI, it's just the backdrop that the film is set on.
