I’m gonna take an alternate view – obviously I might hate the execution, no pun intended – but I like it when Wonder Woman kills people, and then refuses to be boxed in by it. I like that she never does it lightly, or often, but that on the rare occasions when she does, the character refuses to be…boxed in by it the way we’re trained by superhero comics to believe she should be.

Of course, for every Max Lord you get Geoff Johns deciding this means that now MURDERIN’ STUFF is gonna be her go-to forever and I roll my eyes something fierce. But I sort of like the idea of her deciding she needs to kill Ares, but then immediately turning around and refusing to behave in a stereotypical way in the wake of that. Proving she did it out of need, not lust for power.

We’ll have to see how it all shakes down on Wednesday, but there seem to be some similarities.

That’s a good point. “Killing” a Greek god might not be a permanent situation. An end to actual war could be cool, but would definitely screw up the rest of the DC universe. The big crossover they’re building to is called “Trinity War”, so the war ending probably won’t happen.

So Wonder Woman is now Kratos? She was Xena, then Hercules, now Kratos? How boring.

I imagine Killing Ares/War will just be a temporary setback for the god of war, with being the embodiment of war and all. Or it could mean an end to actual war, which, for Wonder Woman and the world would be a good thing and would actually be interesting to see the effect that would have.
