This comic's incredibly fricked up and mean-spirited. No wonder Earth One flopped if this was meant to be a part of it. It literally ends with Wonder Woman mentally castrating all men on Earth, keeping them as pets for centuries (implied indefinitely) and this is presented as a good thing.

I think the only real way the Earth One line can work with it is to just ignore the shit out of WW, if only cause almost the entire end game is so far removed from what the other comics were trying to do that it's easier to just dismiss the end of WW Earth One as yet more weird Grant Morrison shit, frankly.
You guys are missing a key piece of context which is Charles Moulton's original WW books that Morrison's himself doesn't understand and is trying to deconstruct with E1 WW.
And the E1 books aren't a shared universe, E1 Titans confirmed that.
>Charles Moulton's original WW books that Morrison's himself doesn't understand
that much is apparent
Dude, I read some of the originals. And yeah, Charles Moulton's works definitely read like he was drawing one handed. But thing is, even if Grant Morrison didn't completely miss the point of what Moulton was trying to convey, if I told you that Wonder Woman takes over the world in a dommy mommy hentai world matriarchy and that it's supposed to be a good thing, you'd tell me to stop jerking off and take a goddamn shower cause my brain is clearly fried from my porn addictions.
Yeah, that's the wild thing, that this is an actual comic that DC actually published instead of some random weirdo's femdom fanfic.
If I was a DC editor I would have put this script straight in the shredder and told Grant to do a page one rewrite with different shrooms, 'cause the batch he used had clearly gone bad.
You got to remember Moulton lived his idea of feminism is.
He was in poly relationship with 2 women and they had multiple children together. So he had a totally different perspective than most people then of letting a woman lead a household.
I'm not so sure he's deconstructing it all that effectively here.
It's a deconstruction, Grant keeps attacking the concept of submission and subjugation and constantly compares them to slavery and kink, he even makes Steve Trevor black to nail that point home.
>deconstruction
I wish Cinemaphile would stop using this word. There are VERY FEW deconstructions in comics. Scott McCloud's books are among the few examples I can think of and those arguably aren't even "comics".
Which means it fails as a deconstruction, since as
pointed out, Marston's views of bdsm weren't quite what Grant Morrison or what most people think of it, rendering Grant's 'critique' rather useless to that end
Except Marston views of BDSM were standard psychologist quackjob theories in a still Freudian era where psychology was "my barely disguised fetish"
And the fact Grant Morrison still fricked up at examining it says how bad he is at his job, doesn't it?
I love grant morrison, but I hated this. It might be his worst work. Completely boneheaded social commentary.
He believes in chaos magic, he's a damned lunatic
it's evil
That sounds pretty good to me.
>mean-spirited
GTFO of here.
That comic is GARBAGE, but seriously GTFO with your reddit memes.
"Mean-spirited" is an actual word that has been used since 17th century my ignorant friend.
Batman Earth One was a ton of fun and I am sad that it is not continuing. Johns works best with silly blockbuster stories and each volume of Batman felt like it could be a self-contained movie. Couldn't get into Superman Earth One though.
