History YMMV / AmazonsAttack

** In spite of Diana's best efforts, "Amazons Attack: The Sequel" does come to pass [[FalseFlagOperation when a woman bearing her insignia suicide bombs a gas station]] in Alberta. Granted, this IS the DC Rebirth continuity, and for all intents and purposes is the "first" time a nation from Man's World has threatened Themyscira in the digital age to everyone except Post-Crisis Superman, but there's still at least one person who gets to see the nightmare reoccur. And the event was [[Comicbook/WonderWoman2023 remade]] in ''Comicbook/DawnOfDC'' and, if anything, is getting criticism for copying the original too much[[note]]because of Diana becoming a HeroWithBadPublicity, the United States forcefully deports all Amazons in U.S. soil (and kills them when they don't come quietly) and cordons off Paradise Island[[/note]].

* FanonDiscontinuity: To many Wondy fans thanks to how the story derailed the Amazons. Considering the LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain attitude by characters long afterward, it may be CanonDiscontinuity as well.

** In Wonder Woman vol. 3 #14, a character echoes most of the fandom's sentiments by saying "The last thing we want is ''Amazons Attack: The Sequel''". DC's ''Comicbook/{{Flashpoint}}'' crossover pretty much gave us ''Amazons Attack: The Sequel'' in the Amazon-Atlantian war. However, while the Amazon-Atlantian war did have some more similarities to A.A. ([[spoiler:both sides were manipulated by traitors within their ranks]]), much more care was put into the plot and it was better recieved. It wasn't all about {{Straw Feminist}}s killing men for being men while being under control that could've been easily broken, at least.

* {{Narm}}: The [[spoiler:real BigBad being ''Granny Goodness'' [[UnexpectedCharacter of all people]]]] comes so far out of nowhere that some readers actually find it hilarious.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: Fans were actually excited about the prospect of the Amazons and the United States coming to blows, especially since the project originated as an aborted prelude to ''ComicBook/InfiniteCrisis''. Things went downhill fast.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** Delivers one to ''Film/TheWickerMan2006''.
--->'''Nicholas Cage:''' NOT THE BEES!
** This ultimately wouldn't be [[WebAnimation/DCSuperHeroGirls the last DC story]] to have a twist involving [[spoiler:Granny Goodness being the main villain]], though it made far more sense there than it did here.

* IdiotPlot: The whole thing. Just about everyone acts as an idiot to make sure the thing lasts for six issues plus tie-ins.
** ComicBook/{{Artemis}} and Phillipus clearly believe their queen has gone mad and is unfit to lead, but they just stand there and fret instead of attempting to overthrow her.
** Franchise/{{Superman}} has a chance to capture Hippolyta while she's fighting Wonder Woman, but he just breaks up the fight by carrying off Wonder Woman instead. Wonder Woman was actually ''winning'' that fight.
** Wonder Woman forgets that she, at the very least, is the second most powerful character working for the side of good and just lets Superman cart her off.
** The incident where a trainload of women who have been rounded up by the US Army for 'detention camps' has decided, after the train has been derailed, to just walk home. The soldiers see an unarmed crowd of US civilians whose backs are to them, peacefully leaving. Although their (female) CO orders them not to fire, her (male, of course) XO immediately orders the soldiers to mow them down, which they do not hesitate to try doing. But that's not the real idiocy. The real idiocy is that all of this is happening ''while Superman is standing right there, watching them''. Did it not once cross the Major's mind that Big Blue might possibly have an objection to mass murder of unarmed civilians? And have the power to register that objection violently?
** Okay, so Hippolyta is brainwashed. Wonder Woman can cure people who have been brainwashed by wrapping them with her magic lasso. This is not some zany silver-age one-off invention like super-weaving. The Lasso of Truth is part of her ''core gear'', and it has ''always'' had the power to undo brainwashing. Diana hasn't been deprived of her lasso by any plot contrivance. She has a golden opportunity for it when she fights Hippolyta. And yet ''no one'', in comic or out, ever shows an inkling of realization that Wonder Woman could have solved the plot in minutes flat if she'd just ''[[StatingTheSimpleSolution used the frickin' lasso]]''.
** ComicBook/WonderGirl and ComicBook/{{Supergirl}} try to get the President and Hippolyta into peace talks to end the conflict. So far, sorta reasonable... but then their plan is to forcibly bring the President to Hippolyta by ''crippling Air Force One'', resulting in the deaths of everyone aboard except the two of them and the President when the Amazons catch up with the jet. And that's ignoring the fact that their plan was to abduct the leader of the nation under unprovoked siege and bring him to the psychotic despot who spent the entire conflict trying to outdo Hitler's records for 'Most Ridiculous Bigoted Viewpoint', 'Stupidest Military Leader', and 'Most War Crimes Per Minute'.

** Also, as pointed out in CriticalResearchFailure above, Wonder Woman could use her lasso to instantly resolve everything. No seriously, the main character's regular powers (not just [[NewPowersAsThePlotDemands powers she randomly has]]) could effortlessly solve the problem. She is in plenty of situations to use these. She never does. Remember, her lasso forced a god (Ares) to see the truth of his poorly conceived plan.
