Instead of using it as a historical backdrop, with WarIsHell and realistic, neutral portrayals of all sides, it will pull an USA Wins The War and Nazi Germany in WWI on us. We will have a supervillain instead of the long historical and political situation leading into a disaster.
Themiscyra will defeat ironclads, airplanes and tanks with swords, and NoSell chlorine gas and 50mm shells in their Chainmail Bikinis. Every German will be a Nazi Stormtrooper who eats babies and burns villages for fun. France, England, Italy and Russia will be alluded to but never show up. There won't be any SweetPollyOliver.
There will be ArtisticLicenseHistory even more than I can think of!
Short version: this will be Amazons Attack: The Movie.

[[WMG: "Ares" is actually Zeus.]]
At the end of their battle, Ares' final attack is to call down lightning and hurl lightning bolts at Diana - one of Zeus' most iconic weapons. There's even lightning crackling around his fingers when he grabs her lasso. Furthermore, parents being slain by their children is a recurring theme in Greek mythology - it's fitting that Diana should kill her father, not her brother. Zeus was very anti-humanity in many Greek myths, most famously sentencing Prometheus to unending torment for bringing them fire. It makes sense that he'd want to wipe them all out. Zeus was the king of the gods, and certainly had the power to wipe all the others out. Diana would have been born not for the purpose of slaying Ares, but as one of Zeus' many, many affairs.

[[WMG: Diana has a twin brother]]
Diana is another name for the goddess Artemis, who was the daughter of Zeus and the nymph Leto. Artemis was the goddess of animals, women, children, and the Moon. She also was unwilling to face men outside from Orion, who was killed by a scorpion. Diana deeply cares for women and children, is often around animals, and tends to be more powerful by night than by day. Parliament officials connect Steve Trevor to a scorpion, and Steve serves a similar purpose to Diana as Orion does for Artemis. Diana's upbringing by the Amazons and the Amazons being nymphs mirror Artemis's upbringing and attitude. Ares presents Diana with a forest as paradise due to Artemis being a goddess of the forest. How this all means Diana has a twin brother? Artemis was the elder twin sister of Apollo. Zeus having a Hidden Backup Prince in case Ares took down Diana would make sense. Apollo and Diana were separated to keep each other safe, and because Apollo would be out of place among the Amazons. Diana having a long-lost twin could also help explain Steve's death, as protagonists tend to learn about their families before having long-lasting love interests. If this is true, Apollo will be a primary figure in the sequel, at least as a driver of the plot.
