Added DiffLines:

* CompleteMonster: [[BigBad Veronica Cale]] is the [[CorruptCorporateExecutive corrupt CEO]] of a pharmaceutical company planning to create SuperSoldiers. To test her product, Cale peddles dangerous drugs to poor teenagers from minority communities; the drug's side effects make their users bleed from their eyes before dying via catastrophic heart failure. Cale further refines her serum by [[PlayingWithSyringes conducting experiments]] on over a dozen [[HumanTrafficking trafficked]] subjects, leaving them horribly deformed. When Wonder Woman attacks her facility, [[BadBoss Cale]] happily allows her employees to be brutalized so that footage of the illegal trespass can be used against her nemesis.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: The fact that Wonder Woman is essentially a psychopath that is above the law yet LovedByAll just could not be stomached.

* SpecialEffectsFailure: Because it wasn't intended for release yet, many of the special effects are unfinished, leaving visible wirework and such in the fight scenes. The infamous "pipe through the guard's neck" also looks noticeably fake. In fairness to the production team, this is one aspect of the pilot that is rarely criticized, for obvious reasons. SF Debris opens his review saying her regrets taking it on, because it isn't fair to mock an unfinished project (he's changed his tune by the middle of the show's first act -- no matter what might have changed in editing or post-production, this thing was unsalvagable from the offing).

*** BizarroUniverse: This shows stars the Bizarro Wonder Woman, [[WesternAnimation/JusticeLeague Justice Lord Wonder Woman]] (though SF Debris has noted that Justice Lord Wonder Woman is ''less'' extreme than this version), [[ComicBook/{{Flashpoint}} Flashpoint Wonder Woman]], or [[VideoGame/InjusticeGodsAmongUs One Earth Regime Wonder Woman]].

Maybe even an AdaptationNameChange for [[MirrorUniverse Superwoman]].

*** LossOfIdentity: We're actually watching an insane Amazonian who has usurped the ''real'' Diana's identity. [[ComicBook/AllStarBatmanAndRobinTheBoyWonder "Bonkers]] [[WebVideo/AtopTheFourthWall Betty"]], perhaps?

* WTHCostumingDepartment: This version of Wonder Woman's costume is pretty damn tacky. The show's attempts to justify it by claiming Diana designed her suit to look more like an action figure for marketability purposes didn't help. The fact she throws a tantrum over the dolls her company made of her in said outfit makes things even worse.

Early complaints on the internet that the costume was bad because she wore pants are easily brushed aside because the costume looks bad even when she switches to a hot-pants version cut like the classic version of the costume and it still looks like cheap latex.

** Willis is portrayed as an innocent victim. However, he was using performance-enhancing drugs and got a college scholarship out of it. To the kid who did not get that scholarship, despite making the sacrifices, hitting the gym everyday, and never turning in any illegal tricks, Willis would look like the villain.
