DIANA MAD! DIANA SMASH!
A summary:
Will there, won't there be an intervention from the Amazons?
Will there, won't there an armistice?
Will there, won't there be a move for a Vote of No Confidence in Chancellor Valorum's leadership?
Who gives a shit? Diana sez:
"Parliamentary procedure? Pffff! fuck dat! Shiiiiiaaat... all dis red tape gettin' in the way of some decisive action. I fucking love you so much DAT I HAVE TO SMASH YOU! DIANA CONFLICTED! DIANA MAD! DIANA SMASH!"
I only care about 2 DC characters: Batman and Lobo.
I vaguely remembered Diana from Greek or Roman mythology. I dunno. I didn't follow the Wonder Woman comics either so I have no idea how that story differs from the source material.
From Wikipedia:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amazons
"The DC Comics superheroine Wonder Woman is the Amazon princess Diana of Themyscira, created by William Moulton Marston (the inventor of the systolic blood pressure test and a scholar with a penchant for women's power).[127][128] She is the only daughter of Queen Hippolyta, who, in turn, is Marston's incarnation of the classical Queen Hyppolyta of Greek mythology."
Also, peep this other article FYI:

Mmmkay. A friend of mine and I went to see Wonder Woman yesterday. to be fair, I was expecting a "WHO RULES THE WORLD? GIRLS!" style Cis Male bashing manifesto.
Wonder Woman (2017) manages to be a:
A comic book movie
A period piece
A chick flick
A war film
A fish-out-of-water film
An Alternate history film
A Greek mythology fanfic
An alternate history and Greek mythology fanfic crossover film
AND ALL THE PRETTY DRESSES! CUE Christina Aguilera's What a girl wants
2h 21min? This movie was so well paced that it felt, I kid you not, like 45 minutes tops.
Wonder Woman you did good. So go howl at the moon, join the order of the white moon and worship Diana why don't you.

Feelin' Pokemon Go.
Ever saw "One Crazy Summer"?

That movie made me want to animate SO BAD. I saw it on Cinemax sometime in 87,88? Ever since then I've been keeping busy animating stick figure battles on the edges of textbooks, notebooks, newspapers and such.
Ever saw "The Secret City" with Mark Kistler?

I first saw it on PBS. Every saturday morning Commander Mark would school your ass on perspective, shadowing, contour, etc.
Ever saw "Comic Book Confidential"?

Shit. I had always liked sketching and doodling and after watching Comic Book Confidential I thought: "Now I can pick any topic and run with it"
More recently, Vine helped me set achievable 6 second goals.
Instagram has helped me set longer 15 second goals.
A few months ago I came across a postcard Art Spiegelman sent me back in '99.
Whenever I feel like setting my pencil down I look up at that postcard and soldier on.
