History Headscratchers / WonderWoman2017

*** Strap it to your back, jump out of the plane, then pull the ripcord, it's that simple.

*** So then level out, fly north, then get the parachute.
** Do you think he had time to think of that?!? I doubt he had to calm down to think that "Hey, maybe I should grab that parachute!" He is more focused in saving London from being gassed. Do you think he had time to think about what to do to survive? I think at this point he would care more about saving lives than his own. This was a high pressure situation and just because you know what to do doesn't mean everyone knows what to do if they are in a high pressure situation. Also like the first comment said, he probably has no clue how to properly use a parachute and without training, you are going to hurt yourself pretty badly. There is more than just opening the parachute, you have to figure out how to maneuver it in a way to find a spot to land and how to land properly without breaking your legs. Also parachutes were not very reliable back then so there is still a good chance Steve would had died or getting seriously injured.

** Possibly looking somewhat older (albeit still very fit) was an indication of superior military rank, reflecting how human military forces' officers are usually older than enlisted troops? Even among the gods, elders of Zeus's generation held authority over the second-generation deities. The rare young-looking Amazon officer might be one who repeatedly proved herself in battle, so was elevated in rank for her heroism, while any older-looking grunt soldier got demoted for some past screw-up.

** It's a bit of canon that no-one else has really followed up on, but Creator/JohnByrne established during his run on the ''Wonder Woman'' comic that Themyscira functions a bit like a [[Series/DoctorWho TARDIS]], existing in "a time that is not a time, a place that is not a place" and randomly drifting in and out of different time periods as well as locations.

** The talk on the boat just proves they know about procreation as a side-effect of sex, not that they do it - they clearly don't reproduce with anyone in any of the different ways the myths say because they've remained isolated on Themiscyra ever since Zeus hid the island. (Not to mention how Diana's lived there some unspecified length of time depending on how long Hippolyta was pregnant Perhaps the gods made them different ages for aesthetic reasons; perhaps some of them had children back when they lived among mortal humans and they aged until they reached a state they felt comfortable in; perhaps it's like the Perez origin where they're reincarnated from victims of domestic violence, and they appear the ages they were when they were murdered.

** It also should be notice that we actually live in the most peaceful period of time in human history after WWII. Yes, there were some other local wars but no other global conflict to that scale. Actually at our current time period is the first time in history that no country is at war with other country anywhere. Yes, there are some very violent civil wars most notably the Syrian Civil War but although Civil wars are terrible, they are less dramatic than wars between states as states use all their resources in wars against each others. Think about it, right now no country in the world is officially at war with any other country, that's really new. So if the DCCU is not that different from ours, Diana's actions did work, it took several decades for Ares influence to fully disappear, but it did.

* In the flashback, we've seen that Steve steals the only plane that has already started its engine, then he circles back to shoot the landed planes and pilots so they cannot pursue him, before destroying the bomb factory for good measure and flies into the distance with nobody pursuing him. But then his plane somehow gets damaged and crash-landed in the sea around Themyscira. There's a German warship there, yes, but how did Steve got shot down by it in the first place? It's implied that Steve is an ace pilot, so he could've avoid the warship with ease. And given that the sea where Themyscira is located is implied to be an uncharted water for it to remain undiscovered for thousands of years, how did Steve's path back to London as well as the German warship's patrol route ended up there in the first place?

** It would have to be a German Parachute, which he wouldn't know how to use (and Ailed members were actually forbidden to use, see bellow) second if he did that then the plane would simply fall back down with no one piloting it. We have to remember its easy to sit here and spend as much time as we like thinking of all the clever things Steve could have done, but he only had around ten seconds to make a choice and could see no other options.

** Especially egregious is that she says in ''Batman V Superman'' that the impetus from her walking away was the belief that mankind couldn't stand together -- but she saw plenty of examples of standing together: The Chief is friends with Steve and fights beside him even though he acknowledges the horrible past between their ancestors, Sameer also fights for good even though racism destroyed his dreams, the young German soldiers were relieved and even hugged The Chief after the fighting was over, and the majority of both sides were willing to find middle ground. And Steve gave a HeroicSacrifice for the good of millions of people and his friends were willing to do the same. Plus her despair at seeing man continue to fight even after she supposedly killed Ares loses ground somewhat when it's revealed she never actually killed Ares and things do look up after she kills the real one, and instead of the war ending with her upset or disappointed in humanity she still sees the good in humankind (she says as much to Ares) despite their flaws. That she would eventually walk away because, well, HumansAreBastards is absolutely plausible yet her dialogue [=BVS=] states it was the first World War that made her turn her back. World War II was a more likely culprit.

** They probably saw Steve drags Diana into cover to protect her when the Germans open fire, so they don't assume he's a hostile immediately. Plus he and Diana were standing at the beach long before they arrived at the scene. If Steve was indeed an enemy, he would've killed Diana already. And Steve was unarmed at the time. He only picked up a rifle from a downed soldier and joined the battle later.

** It's called editing. There's no indication it took one day, it could took weeks but for obvious reasons the movie is not going to show that.

** Who said he was at full-power? He demonstrates a lot of magical abilities, but nothing says this is his full power. If he's really capable of vanquishing mankind, than realistically Steve and co would have been completely wiped out just by being in the blast zone of his attacks against Diana.
