History Recap / JusticeLeagueS1E16And17Fury

* EveryoneHasStandards: While the Amazons may not like men, they're still horrified at Aresia's plans at {{Gendercide}}. However, Hawkgirl rightfully points out Aresia is just taking their view to its logical extension, as if they see no good or worth in men then killing them is the only thing they could come.

* NotSoWellIntentionedExtremist: Aresia might actually believe the world will be better if it's all-female, as it is on Themyscira, though it's becoming evident she's taking her frustrations on innocent people because of what something someone else did to her. Even learning one man saved her life isn't enough to convince her all men shouldn't die.

* DueToTheDead: Zig-zagged with the Sea Captain that saved Aresia's life and got her to the nearest island (which happened to be Themyscira). Hippolyta was passing by when they made it to the beach and saw him die from the strain. She gave the captain the dignity of a proper burial (the only man to be buried on the island), but she never bothered to tell Aresia the truth because she didn't think the man was important.

* AllAbusersAreMale: Men caused Aresia pain in the past, so 'all men must be evil'. It is then revealed that the male captain of the destroyed ship she was on as a child saved her life, though, she was not aware of this fact. Once she finds out, she merely switches her stance to "All men are evil except for him."

* AllAbusersAreMale: Men caused Aresia pain in the past, so 'all men must be evil' --even if the male captain of the destroyed ship she was on as a child saved her life. Although, she was not aware of this initially. Once she finds out, she merely switches her stance to "All men are evil except for him.”

* CreateYourOwnVillain: Aresia, already bearing deep-seated trauma regarding men attacking her and causing her pain, was taken in by the Amazons, granted their power, and trained in their philosophies, especially in regards to their [[DoesNotLikeMen misandry]]. In the end, Hippolyta inadvertently created the monster Aresia became and gave her the power and tools she needed to enact a {{Gendercide}}.

* DueToTheDead: Zig-zagged with the Sea Captain that saved Aresia's life and got her to the nearest island (which happened to be Themyscira). Hippolyta was passing by when they made it to the beach and saw him die from the strain. She gave the Captain the dignity of a proper burial (the only man to be buried on the island), but she never bothered to tell Aresia the truth because she didn't think the man was important.

* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: The tone of Hippolyta's voice when she says she didn't think the Captain was important.

* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: At first, Wonder Woman claims it's ridiculous that the criminal Batman fought was an Amazon because, in her words, "Amazons don't steal,..and [they] never leave the island." She doesn't seem to realize until Batman subtly points it out that she herself is an exception to both rules[[labelnote:*]]She stole her costume and equipment before she left Themyscira in the first place[[/labelnote]].

* FreudianExcuse: Aresia was a child when male soldiers ravaged her home. She and her mother tried to escape the war on a boat, but male pirates robbed and then sank it, with Aresia the only one shown surviving. In other words, she had a lot of personal anger towards men when she was inducted into the Amazons and learned their teachings.

* ContinuityNod: Shade considers Aresia's leadership and planning skills an improvement over [[BadBoss Lex Luthor]]'s when he was [[Recap/JusticeLeagueS1E8And9InjusticeForAll leading the Injustice Gang]].

* NotSoDifferent: Given a light touch.
-->'''Batman''': So, this Aresia is not really an Amazon?\\
'''Hawkgirl''': She's an orphan. It's hard to imagine what that kind of trauma could do to a child.\\
''[slow zoom in on Batman]''

* MenAreTheExpendableGender: Invoked by Aresia although she and about one other women, Tsukuri, are the only ones who actually think that's true. Even the other Amazons are shocked at her attempted {{Gendercide}}. Wonder Woman is shocked at the degree that Aresia is going to...but Hawkgirl points out that this is the logical conclusion to the Amazons' teachings. Diana notably has nothing to say about this.[[note]][[FridgeLogic That said]]...the Amazons presumably lived for ''hundreds of years'' with all the ingredients to commit said Gendercide and apparently never even considered it. In the end, it was still ''men'' who taught Aresia that [[FinalSolution mass murder is an acceptable solution]] to groups you consider evil/irrelevant/inferior.[[/note]]

* DoesNotLikeMen: Aresia.

* EveryoneHasStandards: While the Amazons may not like men, they're still horrified at Aresia's plans at {{Gendercide}}.

* {{Gendercide}}: Aresia's ultimate goal by releasing a disease into the atmosphere that nearly kills off all of the men on the planet [[note]] the disease itself is implied to be partially magical in nature, since it even affects Superman & J’onn, who aren’t human, and Solomon Grundy, who is TheUndead. [[/note]] .

* {{Gendercide}}: Aresia's ultimate goal by releasing a disease into the atmosphere that nearly kills off all of the men on the planet [[note]] the disease itself is implied to be partially magical in nature, since even Superman and J’onn, who aren’t human, and Solomon Grundy, who is TheUndead, are affected. [[/note]] .

* VirusMisnomer: Subverted. Superman is felled by a cloud of airborne particles released at him by Aresia. It's assumed to be a fast-acting virus until J'onn's research shows that it is, in fact, an allergen which only affects men.

* {{Gendercide}}: Aresia's ultimate goal by releasing a disease into the atmosphere that nearly kills off all of the men on the planet. This includes the male members of the Justice League (even Superman and J’onn, who aren’t human, and Solomon Grundy, who is TheUndead, are affected; it's implied magic is involved). It's up to Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl to save the day (of course, this includes fighting against an all-female alliance of villains).
* GirlsNightOutEpisode: Mostly Part 2.

** Aresia was shocked that a fellow female left her on her own devices. Which is probably why in ''Justice League Adventures'' #17, Aresia chose more loyal like-minded females as her minions.

* ArmorPiecingResponse: Hawkgirl argues that Aresia’s planned {{Gendercide}} is merely taking the Amazon Code to its logical extension, something Diana has no response to.

* AllAbusersAreMale: Men caused Aresia pain in the past, so 'all men must be evil' -even if the male captain of the destroyed ship she was on as a child saved her life. Although, she was not aware of this initially. Once she finds out, she merely switches her stance to "All men are evil except for him".

* {{Gendercide}}: Aresia's ultimate goal by releasing a disease into the atmosphere that nearly kills off all of the men on the planet. This includes the male members of the Justice League (even Superman and the Martian Manhunter are affected, despite not being ''human'', and Solomon Grundy, who is TheUndead; it's implied magic is involved). It's up to Wonder Woman and Hawkgirl to save the day (of course, this includes fighting against an all-female alliance of villains).

* WellIntentionedExtremist: Aresia really does believe the world will be better if it's all-female, as it is on Themyscira.

* ObliviousToHisOwnDescription: At first, Wonder Woman claims it's ridiculous that the criminal Batman fought was an Amazon because, in her words, "Amazons don't steal,... and [they] never leave the island."

* CallingTheOldWomanOut: Aresia was upset that Hippolyta never said anything about the male captain who saved her life. When asked why, Hippolyta said she thought "it didn't matter, that he didn't matter." Hawkgirl calls her out on it.
