Honestly, I love the outfit. A lot.

BECAUSE IT MAKES SENSE.

Yeah, Wonder Woman's costume always had the Red White & Blue.... which really made little to no sense. Why would a freakin' Amazon wear the colors of the USA? Perhaps later on she changes it to reflect her coming to Man's World or whatever, but I honestly think it's an improvement. It's still got the classic WW's on it, I like the skirt and I like the armor on the boots. Very well done.

In the Wonder Woman movie, her suit was based on the American flag on Trevor's military outfit. She assumed this to be the symbol of Man's World.

She uses red, white & blue to show that she "comes in peace" when visiting Man's World; as an Ambassador of her island, Themyscira.

I think I like Titania's FE10 armor better than the FE9 version.

There have been multiple descriptions of why she chose to make it those colors over the years. It still never made much sense. It was mostly done as to cover up the fact that the outfit was made by a kinda creepy/kinky comic book creator who originally designed Wonder Woman. Like Sakura said, more sensible armor would make sense, but at the very least this looks Amazonian. And maybe she does change the colors later on to match America's flag.

Personally, I hope she doesn't.

If she wore full armor, no one would really recognize her as the Wonder Woman they've grown to know. I think it'd be a little too controversial to stray far away from what was already established as her attire. And don't even get me started on the fan rage that would follow.

Also, I don't see how the outfit origin I posted above failed to make sense. She wanted to put people's fear of a strange outsider to rest, hence the colors she thought was their universal symbol.

Anyway, we'll just have to wait and see if it changes, like you said.

Outfits change all the time in comics. If it's made sensible, the vast majority of people would like it. Of course some people will complain/rage, because these are comic book fans. [tornado fang] 'em. The last time Diana changed her outfit, people argued over the fact that she had pants. It's ridiculous. If the comic itself is decent, if the character herself is decent, then her having her original outfit doesn't matter all that much.

It makes no sense because the concept of putting on a star-spangled one piece bikini with boots to alleviate fears of an outsider is silly. She already has Trevor, a pilot/soldier, to vouch for her. Like Superman, her heroic deeds would have put much of the fear aside. Especially considering she's an Ambassador of Peace. The only real reason to have her do something like that is because it's the outfit she was given originally by a kinky, misogynistic  creep. That's all. It's a continuation of making up excuses to have her keep her original outfit to shy away from that fact.

Seriously her outfit has always bothered me because of that, the Red, White and Blue is just plain silly and a freaking Amazon should be more armored.

You know, something just occurred to me.

With the Streetpass Capabilities of the 3DS, the Battle Network series could've been 10x better than it was. Customized Net Navis, chip trading, battles, online battles, etc. A whole world wide net and such. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I wouldn't mind seeing a new Battle Network game for the 3DS.

Maybe a remake since I don't see them continuing the series, but I totally agree.

Eh, I'd prefer a new game. But I guess they probably couldn't due to the StarForce series afterwards.

Yeah and the way 6 ended was pretty definite.  I would like another Starforce because 3 was really awesome but that finale was pretty definite too.

For all the flak star force got I always felt it had a really solid cast of characters, felt more developed than Battle network's cast IMO.

I really enjoyed Star Force 3 too.

Yeah it's just 2 messed everything up.  Seriously the plot would have been better for a Legends game, but at least we got Hyde and Solo out of it.

Hyde [tornado fang]ing sucked. Literally nothing about him was good.

I've been following an RP blog on Tumblr and I am heavily considering making a secondary blog for junk sketches (so they don't clutter my art blog) and for any RPing I decide I want to do.  Heavily considering it.

Mabel is sitting in my room and crying.

I just liked how quirky he was myself.  Though King was much better, best villain in the series in my honest opinion.

Gaaaahhh... My sneakers have about had it, my other pair has big holes in...  I destroy shoes and am thus in need of yet another new pair after thoroughly grinding the soles off my current pair.

I must drag my feet or something.  I go through shoes like Kleenex.  Only my Converse have lasted for over two years (the hole-ridden pair is over four years old).

I should do that, but I tend to keep mine until they have holes in the soles, holes on the side, leak, and generally are no longer wearable.

Eh, this Wednesday I may get a new pair.  I've had my current hitops since December and they've now gotten holes in the soles.

I only wear nice slip-ons.

Laces are for people who like to trip.

I double-knot my laces.  Keeps them tied.

And I trashpicked a coffee table earlier.  It needs a coat of paint, but I have paint for that.
