Was this the worst written, worst researched else world written?

>God (or something never explains) wipes out all the super powers.

>Now only people who relied on technology are heroes and villains ( except for the atom who I will just assume they never researched that he was tech based)

>Superman becomes an alcoholic and Lois Leaves him

>Super girl, martian manhunter, aquaman and flash meet with batman to train (Bat-wank, also how does aquaman lose his "powers" there not powers hes Atlantian )

all in all painful to read

you're mad about Aquaman losing his powers but not the three aliens that only have "powers" due to the differences between earth and their home planets?

Whom Gods Destroy was fucking weird.

Pic related. Behold: Superman, turned into a total asshole centaur by Greek gods. Later, because he was such an asshole after magic made him one, other Greek gods will punish him by turning him into a young human girl.

Also Nazis.

Even worse was this idea that the heroes were "arrogant" about their powers and needed to be taught "a lesson" in humility and be more like Batman. Even though Batman is the most arrogant and egotistical of them all.

Elseworlds always butcher Wonder Woman's character.

I became a comic fan and Wonder Woman fan with the DCAU, then i got into comics with Kelly's JLA and Jimenez's Wonder Woman. Once i started to buy the previous issues along with the Elseworlds i got hit hard by all the terrible writing and treatment of the character. The comics almost killed my liking for the character;

Couldn't Zeus just give Wonder Woman, his daughter, powers?

Why cant the Wizard intervene on Billy's behalf?

Why aren't the Green Lanterns investigating Earth to see what made one of their rings utterly useless?

Surely there's something in the Fortress of Solitude that could help Superman out?

Holy fuck this makes no sense.

Any non-tech Kamen Riders would be wiped.

That means the magic/spirit and organic based riders are gone. I'm sure there's a category I'm missing.

It's certainly down there in terms of straight up garbage, but it really is the lack of research and all the inconsistencies that push it into the pantheon.

Superman in the story said he thought about going to the Artic to die in front of the Fortress of Solitide thanks to the severe cold.

That means quite a number of the Heisei Riders would be affected.

Kuuga, Agito, Hibiki, Kiva, OOO, Wizard and Ghost.

Ryuki, Faiz, Blade, Kabuto, Den O, Decade, W, Fourze, Gaim, Drive and Ex-Aid are fine.

Yeah, most Elseworlds with Wonder Woman usually result in her being evil/crazy, depowered or dead

Which is a damn shame because there's a lot of Elseworlds potential with her

That's not even possible, she's barely a character there and what they do give her is shit.

You're wrong, though. They didn't delve that much into her backstory, but her personality and use throughout the cartoon was really on point and good.

Rewatch the show.

Ah a Batfag then. Because her "personality" was

And they used her as
>I really wish Bruce would make me his gf ;)
She never got any focus like Supes and Bats got.

She didn't pined over Batman, she was intrigued by him and flirted with him. She was usually the confident and sassy one in their interactions. The one who pined over her and spilled his spaghetti was Batman.

I was talking more about behavior in the episodes during the missions and her interactions with Martian Manhunter, Hawkgirl, the Flash and other characters, also the few episodes focusing on her lore. I hate the Hades retcon, though.

Either way she was much better in the show, which drew me in, then in the various Elseworlds she appeared.

Why do you dislike DCAU WW so much?

Anon... he said that because the comic depicted Superman as a man who thought of himself as a god first and foremost, and that was now depressed and lost because he felt "normal", felt "mundane", felt "useless".

He only thought about risking his life to go to the Fortress of Solitude to die among the relics of his alien home world. He wanted to die.

It kinda does, for a bit. The problem with Elseworlds is that she's always thrown under the bus to prop Superman up or to join him under the bus to prop Batman up.

New Frontier shows her as being delusioned with US's new home policies regarding vigilantes and foreign policies regarding the Indochina War, to contrast with Superman law abiding and patriotic image from the 50's. She was also shown to be ruthless and a believer in the "eye for an eye" kinda of philosophy, to contrast with Superman's pacifistic nature.

But yeah, in comparison to all the other Elseworlds it was a much flattering portrayal.
