The use of World War I as Wonder Woman‘s setting rather than World War II also made more sense with regard to the film’s supporting characters. Wonder Woman‘s Steve Trevor was equally horrified by the war, and it gave him and Diana common ground from which to begin their relationship. Were the film set during World War II, Steve would have grown up experiencing the horrors of war, and would likely have been a little less affected by it. Having Steve share Diana’s disbelief at the scale of the death and destruction of the First World War gave the two very different characters a common motivation.
Though Wonder Woman may not have been the most faithful adaptation of its titular character, its change of time periods was completely justified. The film’s World War I story allowed for the symbolic moment of Wonder Woman storming No Man’s Land, which showed the hero standing up against the tide of war in a clear representation of the hope she inspires in mankind. With that considered, in terms of the film’s thematic impact, the choice to change Diana’s origin story for Wonder Woman was actually perfect.
