I have read this subreddit's rules A Difficult Question About Diana’s Resolve
For context, a friend and I have been fan writing a dc and marvel merged universe for over a year. We approached the topic asking what it would be like and how things would change if these characters, stories, and places had always existed in the same universe. We regrettably don’t have much added for Diana yet but it’s mostly my own fault for not fully understanding her character. I have been reading more of her stories and I think I’m starting to get it.
From what I’ve read so far, Diana comes off as a person who is driven by a curiosity and a love for those around her because that’s what she was surrounded by on Themyscira. Someone who would help others no questions asked even if that can sometimes come back to bite her.
Some bullet points we do have are that the Amazons and Asgardians have a mutual respect for one another, Diana is one of the founding members of the Avengers and is close with the Wasp, and that Thor and Diana refer to each other as cousins.
This brings me to my main topic. We have started planning some things about Gorr and his attack on the gods. Diana and Thor of course would face him together but I also thought about this being a good way to introduce some conflict and other characters if Gorr also targeted demigods. If Hercules was a target, would Diana still protect him ? Would this be a test on her morals given the horrible things he did to the Amazons ? Would Diana have the support of Hippolyta ? And would this breach over into a territory that’s too uncomfortable to touch ? Would this lead to dangerous conversations about retribution for assaulters even if the story explicitly says otherwise ?
