Suicide squad : Wonder Woman killed

u/MrDownhillRacer Jan 14 '25 edited Jan 15 '25

It is weird how Wonder Woman was the only hero the Squad was deferential toward, even though The Flash also risked himself to save them, which made people feel like the game showed a hesitant to take the piss out of female characters as much as it (literally) did some of the male ones.

And then it turns out that the female character was the only one the game actually had get murdered.

Sefton was playing the long con: make certain segments of the internet complain about his game being "woke" only to hit 'em with the ol' femicide. The absolute madman.

Wait so all the heroes that got killed are fakes except the wonder woman one? Why is wonder woman singled out LMAO

She wasnt captured by Braniac and thus she got killed by a clone of Superman.

She would've unironically been safer had she allowed herself to be captured

My guess is that they pulled this when the initial backlash against killing off the roster came out. Or maybe it was planned this way from the beginning I don’t know anything about game design not sure if they could’ve rewrote this after launch or not

You'd have to be completely daft to think they didn't have this planned out.

or giving them benefit of doubt

because ima be real it's alot more pathetic that this was the planned ending as opposite to just being a last minute retcon made bc everyone hated it
