5 Reasons Why Wonder Woman Is My Favorite Superhero

Ever since "Wonder Woman's" 2017 release, I have been quite an obsessed fan. Go through my wardrobe, and you’ll find multiple Wonder Woman T-shirts. Her sword and shield are sitting in my bedroom, waiting to be used on Halloween. (Pictures to come). Besides the point, here are five, completely honest, and unfiltered reasons as to why Wonder Woman is my favorite superhero.

1. She is a badass role model for young girls.

In a male-dominated industry, where male superheroes are far more common, it is awesome for a woman to come in, hold her own, and level up with the guys. Wonder Woman shows young girls that they can do everything that a man can, and just as well. (Maybe even better, if we are being honest). Wonder Woman also shows that being physically strong does not have to make you “masculine”. Diana rocks her feminine nature, while also being able to pick up a full tank in later scenes.

2. She is able to do all that fighting in wedges.

All those male superheroes are cool and all, but they do it all in their easy to walk in, flat shoes. That’s cool, but Wonder Woman does all that, and more, in wedges! Talk about badass and fashionable. She does not even stumble! She runs into battle, and takes on everyone, while also looking great in the process. Honestly, that so iconic in my eyes. If only I can do that. I barely look that good when I just go to class.

3. She leaves her comfort zone in order to do what is right.

Wonder Woman, or Diana, lived her entire life in Themyscira. She spent her whole life around the same women, training with them, learning with them, and becoming a part of them. However, when she knows that she would have to leave this all in order to save the world, she does. She leaves everything she grew up with, everything she was comfortable with, in order to help others. This is something I always found inspiring. It was also very eye-opening. Would I leave my comfort zone in order to help others?

4. She does not let her love interest define her as a character.

Often times in media, once a female character has been presented with a love interest, her whole life starts to revolve around her love for this interest. Of course, this is not accurate to real life, but that is how most female characters have come to be depicted. With Wonder Woman, this is different. Yes, she has her love interest of Steve Trevor, but that is not completely who she is. In all honesty, their romantic storyline hardly even takes the focus for too long within the film. It is only toward the end of the film in which we begin to see their love grow further.

5. She is loving, kind, and just.

Wonder Woman stands up for those who cannot stand up for themselves. She fights for those who need her help and does so without asking for anything in return. She lives her whole life helping the human race around her, even though they possess qualities that she does not approve of. She does this out of love and kindness, qualities that not a lot of people possess anymore. Therefore, Wonder Woman is my favorite superhero, and she always will be.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
