Watching the Justice League cartoon s1 finale, and it's a pretty good set of episodes so far but it's making me really mad from a history standpoint. WHY ARE YOU ONLY WORRIED ABOUT THE WESTERN FRONT WHEN WORLD WAR 2 WAS WON LARGELY BY THE RUSSIANS.

also why is steve trevor here. go away we don't want you.

That is how I feel about Steve Trevor every single time I see him.

WHAT IS HE. WHY IS HE HERE. MAKE HIM LEAVE.

like, his entire reason for existence is to make Wonder Woman palatable to heteronormative society. which, no.

(At least in the justice league cartoon he's like 90, which means we probably won't have to see him again.)

The last time I watched the Justice League cartoon was when I was a kid (still have to start my re-watch marathon) so I can't really comment on how Steve was portrayed there.

But I vaguely remember that in the original 40s comics, Steve was sort of Diana's Lois Lane. They were a straight couple, but they also pushed gender norms in that Diana was the one doing all the saving and hero-ing while Steve was doing all the 'getting into trouble' thing. Which tbh I liked because she'd carry him around bridal style and Steve would be the damsel.
