    I like the new outfit on Wonder Woman.

    As for Psylocke, I remember the british lady version as an armor wearer ala:

    you missed this point. She wasn't an American. I never really understood why the costume she brought from her country with her was designed around an American symbol of patriotism to begin with (more then one actually). Her island of Themiscyra was pretty much isolationist enough that they wouldn't have even know of America. Her costume is actually older then America if I remember right. I didn't find it (the multiple symbols/coincidences) making much sense and as such don't care about the costume change. It was gimmicky to begin with.

    It would be like finding an American flag in a sealed Egyptian tomb.



    ...
    now that I think about it, most of that story line is probably additions thought of later. I'm sure the original creation of the character was "its WWII so she needs to be wearing a flag. We'll think of the rest later."

    The new costume was modified by a fan. Now this looks MUCH better!

    They changed her outfit so when she appears in justice league she will look the same.

    New outfit looks better anyway.

    Marvel doesn't make comics anymore. Just shitty movies from their old comics. So they changed the "backstory" so that they can make shitty movies and tell the fanbois that its true to the story line.

    Because it makes her legs look like a 12 year old? Nothing hot about granny panties with stars on them.

    Like the new look a lot better. It will fit for a movie much better. The old costume was way outdated. Even vs. the fan made stars one I like the one with pants much better.

    Wonder Woman is an Amazon princess btw, no real relations to America. The original costume might be abit cheesy by today's standards to go onto the big screen and attract the newer generation of movie goers. That being said, she is famously known more for her bracelets and golden lasso than just the costume.


    this all reminds me of the famous wonder woman joke lol.



    Superman was flying around the city and was super horny. He spotted Wonder Woman lying on top of a building naked, with her legs spread.

    He figured he could fly down there, fuck her super fast, and be outta there before she even knew what happened.

    So Superman flew down, fucked her, and flew back out again.

    "What was that?" Wonder Woman said.

    "I dont know," said the Invisible Man. "But my ass sure hurts!"
