News Flash, Fox News: Wonder Woman Isn't An American

Fox News has issues with her not being patriotic enough, but she doesn't even go to America in her new movie.

It is the age of superheroes if you couldn't tell already from most of the box office statistics. It's also the age of politics and all-together rage in the United States. So, leave it to Fox News to get offended when Diana Prince, aka Wonder Woman, isn't American enough in her new self-titled origin movie that just released on Friday, June 2.

The news outlet decided to comment on the new changes done to the heroine, comparing to Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman from the 1975 series she first appeared on, live-action. Wonder Woman, just as scantily clad, was dressed in a very patriotic, American get-up.

In 2017, Wonder Woman got a makeover. She isn't covered in stars and stripes anymore. She's now dressed in bronze-like armor with muted colors of red and blue - the style appropriately tying in her origin story as an Amazonian woman. However, Fox News complains that, of course, the artists wrongly are trying to "globalize" Wonder Woman and her style.

News flash to those upset over the new Wonder Woman, she's a good ol' girl next door. She's the daughter of the Queen of the Amazons, who lived in the hidden paradise Themyscira with the rest of the Amazons and trained with them.

In other words: she is not American.

The new stylists of Wonder Woman and DC respect that she is a patriotic figure of America, but her story doesn't just revolve around the Unites States. A quick google search or trip to a comic book store could easily educate anyone on the origin of the most popular heroine created.

In the end, she is a comic book character that was popular enough to get her own series, movie and more. It isn't the end of American patriotism. She's an Amazonian princess, for goodness sake. Fox News, focus on something else than what a woman is wearing. Wonder Woman's new outfit isn't the end of the United States - the government of today is. Use movies to escape from reality, not to make a fuss about something simple.

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.
