      Why add that waste wood to the original ration?

      Although there are a lot of Greek mythological plots that I like, but the plot is not very strong, maybe because Steve is the original match, he is played, but this one is incomparable to Batman, and has more charm than men. Who can beat Bu Shao? In fact, apart from the two giants of DC, Superman...

      A very good Wonder Woman animation

      I think this is great woc! At the beginning, there is a feeling of Greek mythology, the fighting moves are also very cool, and even the main characters have different styles in their moves. After the heroine entered the modern society, the plot did not deliberately wish to promote anything, but...

    Wonder Woman quotes

    • Wonder Woman: [casually twirling her spear] You know, Artemis, I found myself saying a little prayer for you last night.

      Artemis: Did you, Diana? How kind.

      Wonder Woman: Yes, I prayed that Apollo would inspire you with a strategy that might end your rather long string of defeats at my hand.

      [with her spear, Artemis lunges furiously at her]

      Artemis: [gains upper hand] Praise Apollo.

      Wonder Woman: [knocks down her opponent, has her foot on her throat] Obviously, I'm not praying hard enough.

      Artemis: [seethes] If you were not the Queen's daughter...

      Hippolyta: [descending steps behind sparring rivals] Well done, Diana. But be kind to Artemis. Believe it or not, there was a time she was the fiercest warrior among us.

      Artemis: [stands up] And, still would be, given the chance in a real battle.

      Hippolyta: Then forgive me, Artemis, if I am grateful that you will never be afforded that chance.

      Wonder Woman: If that is indeed true, Mother, then what is the point of all this training? That is, other than to humble Artemis from time to time.

      Hippolyta: We train because we must always remain vigilant, Diana. I once let my guard down and paid a terrible price.

      Alexa: But, my Queen, letting down our guard is precisely what we must do.

      [snaps shut her book of wisdoms]

      Alexa: And now, before yet another century passes, is the time to re-engage ourselves with the old world. Even if only to add some new material to our library.

      Wonder Woman: Perhaps Alexa's right. Is it not possible man's world has changed for the better?

      Hippolyta: [unswayed, and can show them a bad example of mankind] Follow me, child.

    • Alexa: [as neighing horse rears back] Perhaps you would be better served by a less restless mare, Princess?

      Wonder Woman: She'll be fine once I run it out of her. She's just been cooped up in the stable too long.

      Alexa: [cooing voice, to the horse:] I know just how you feel. We comb you. We feed you till you're full. We give you everything you could possibly need, and yet all you want is to run free, isn't it?

      [to Diana, who's mounting the horse;]

      Alexa: Off to explore?

      Wonder Woman: I doubt there's an inch of this island left for me to explore. Care to join me?

      Alexa: Thank you. But you know I prefer the excitement of a good book.
