I've been reading comics for many, many years and I don't think it ever occured to me that WW was an Amazonian princess fighting for justice and peace. The comic is still being written for an adolescent male audience who want to see big breasted women in tight clothes. I'm sure Ms. Satrapi's opinion is shared by many.

Is it her feeling that the bigger a woman's bust the less good she can do or the less good she can or will be perceived to do? What I first think of WW and, at least I think, what the general population first thinks of WW is not "wow, what huge rack", but "Amazonian pricess fighting for peace and justice". I've read a few pieces where Satrapi remarks on female superheroes and she doesn't seem to think too highly of their quality. That's okay but when she says something like the above it just struck a bad note with me. Am I making a connection between what she feels about a comic character and women in general that isn't there? I don't know, I like WW and I just think that comment shortchanged her. -Al “And then you have Wonder Woman, but you don’t believe with these big breasts she can go and make justice in the world.” - Satrapi
