History YMMV / WonderGirl

* TheWoobie: Donna, no matter what origin they pick for her, always seems to get the short end of the stick. Whether it's losing her parents, her son and ex-husband dying, having her memories manipulated or being turned against her adopted family against her will.

** "''Series/StarTrek'' ''Series/{{Dallas}}''" for Troia's Titan Seed outfit
** "[[Comicbook/XMen Starjammers]]'' for the Darkstars that Donna Troy joined.

** ''Comicbook/TeenTitans'' briefly tried to pair up Tim Drake ([[Comicbook/{{Robin}} Robin]] III) and Cassie Sandsmark (ComicBook/WonderGirl II). Given the fact that they had a very platonic friendship before the hookup, that Wonder Girl was the girlfriend of Robin's dead best friend ComicBook/{{Superboy}} and had gotten on well with Robin's [[ComicBook/Batgirl2009 recently murdered girlfriend]], and the reason they kissed in the first place was due to mutual mourning of SB... yeah, it was definitely a trainwreck. Fans of both Wonder Girl and Robin sighed a collective breath of relief when the pairing didn't go anywhere and was allowed to end.

** "Disco Hooker" for the plunging neckline and choker version of the star field leotard Donna Troy wore after returning to life and "Star Dandruff" for the sudden decision to have the star field continue into her hair. "Just Hooker" or "Street Walker Chic" for the period following ''Countdown To Final Crisis'' when Donna went with various colored star patterns instead of a star field.

** Cassie Sandsmark was best known for her fifth outfit, a red top-red jeans combination, she wore during late from 2003 to and through the 2006 when she started wearing blue jeans due to ''Infinite Crisis'', rather than her original, black and gold RummageSaleReject look, thanks to models George Perez hired usually wearing it at fan conventions, even though Sandsmark wasn't a Perez creation. This one eventually got phased out by time, simply because Sandsmark's outfit just kept [[UnlimitedWardrobe changing so much so often,]] but it took two years into New 52 before the fandom finally abandoned the red top red pants combo, eleven years after Cassie dropped it in the comics, and red tends to remain dominant in whatever she wears even though she originally only hard a small sliver of red on her black and gold top in the first closest thing she had to a consistent outfit and no red in her original thrown together getup.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The star field in this SharedUniverse originates with Star Boy of ''Legion Of Super Heroes'' in the 1970s, not Donna Troy. Star Boy exists in the far future of the setting however, his suit was the joint effort of three Brainiacs from three {{alternate universe}}s and only works as a navigation device becomes of his specific alien powers and physiology. With Donna Troy it was shown to not only be possible to make such a suit in the "current" era, but that The Titans of Myth were so powerful they could casually do for Troia what took so much effort to do for Star Boy with far future technology.

** Cassie Sandsmark was best known for her fifth outfit, a red top-red jeans combination, during the late 2000s and through the 2010s, rather than her original, black and gold RummageSaleReject look, thanks to models George Perez hired usually wearing it at fan conventions, even though Sandsmark wasn't a Perez creation. This one eventually got phased out by time, simply because Sandsmark's outfit just kept [[UnlimitedWardrobe changing so much so often,]] but red tends to remain dominant in whatever she wears even though she originally only hard a small sliver of red on her black and gold top in the first closest thing she had to a consistent outfit and no red in her original thrown together getup.

** Cassie Sandsmark received much backlash from introduction as her arrival came with Vannessa Kapatelis being pushed out of Wonder Woman's book. On the other hand, Cassie gained a lot of fans for being such a shameless, frumpish nerd that so heavily contrasted with Diana.

** Donna Troy became far better known for various black star decorated outfits she would wear as "Troia" Post Crisis and the Black star emblem gear she wore in New 52 than her original red and blue variations of Wonder Woman's costume. That was until the ''WesternAnimation/SuperBestFriendsForever'' shorts gave Donna a red outfit and Teen Titans got a [[Series/Titans2018 television show]] following its lead, causing her old look to reassert itself in popularity and become just as known as her black get ups.

* OlderThanTheyThink: The star field in this SharedUniverse originates with Star Boy of ''Legion Of Super Heroes'', not Donna Troy. Star Boy exists in the far future however, with Donna Troy showing it was possible to have in the "modern" era too, she just needed some old gods to get some firmament for her.

* BaseBreakingCharacter: Yara Flor is mostly accepted by readers, but has been rejected at a conceptual level by a VocalMinority[[note]]Among the English market. [[https://www.braziliantimes.com/entretenimento/2021/01/11/diversidade-nas-hqs-mulher-maravilha-brasileira-causa-polemica-entre-os-leitores.html The Brazilian Times]] suggest there may be a much larger number of non fans in the Portuguese market who were willing to give the comic a chance but were disappointed[[/note]] who claim they would have been fine with a culturally Pre-Columbian character and don't see the appeal of Greek Amazon offshoots when there are over a million Pre-Columbian people maintaining their cultures in Brazil's borders alone. The purely narrative argument is that the writers had thousands of tribes in just Brazil to choose from that could have been more interesting to explore than simply retreading Greek mythology with wishy washy South American mysticism dashed in. The fact that the nation of Brazil has gone back and forth on acknowledging and protecting the tribes of the Amazon or downplaying their existence in order to justify incursions into their territory, depending on a fluid cultural and socioeconomic climate, can also lead discussions of Yara Flor into political grounds Joëlle Jones and DC Comics clearly were [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotPolitical not intending to tread on]]. While Ceará state actress Suyane Moreira said she was honored to have her image used as the template for a superhero, her fans were angered by the fact DC comics used her likeness without asking for permission and annoyed that DC comics [[RefugeInAudacity didn't bother to go all the way]] and [[DoWrongRight use her culture while they were at it]], since Cariris have so little representation in media. Where Yara Flor does connect politically however, is with immigrants to The United States, as her story could easily be written as a "Dreamer" disconnected from both her native heritage and that of the country she was brought to as a child, with very few changes. From a narrative perspective some critics, most notably on Reddit, Screen Rant, Polygon and CBR, have called Yara Flor a cooler version of Diana herself and demanded DC hurry up and have become the new Wonder Woman already. To them, Diana has gotten so far away from her 1942 characterization that a new character without that baggage is needed, a role Yara Flor fits just fine. Criticism of DC's handling of Yara Flor's ethnicity and sloppy use of Pre-Columbian culture, religion, of South American mythologies and folklore, are retorted by the fact Wonder Woman stories have always played [[SadlyMythtaken fast]] and [[ArtisticLicense loose]] with Classical Mythology, faster and looser with any other mythologies they used, and that DC is creating a compelling UrbanFantasy with Flor. To fans of Moreira specifically, they can't deny DC has compensated people George Perez modeled his characters after, but point out that simply using someone's picture as a reference point without permission is much more common in media in general, far older than comic books, and that Moreira herself was okay with it. It largely depends on if one was expecting Yara Flor to be DC's ''Brazilian representative'', which she falls flat as, or expecting Yara to be ''Diana's successor'', as she functions adequately enough as.

* BrokenBase: The introduction of Yara Flor has led to a larger debate about Wonder Girl's lack of prominence when compared to characters like Supergirl or Batgirl. Some people feel that Donna and Cassie are [[FlatCharacter flat characters]] who only exist to serve as Diana expies on team books, and were never capable of reaching the same level of popularity as Kara and Babs (thereby necessitating the introduction of a more interesting character to raise Wonder Girl's profile). Others feel that Donna and Cassie are interesting characters who have been neglected by editorial, and that it would've been better to give one of them a solo title instead of creating Yara and promoting her so heavily. There are also individual debates about all three Wonder Girls, which follow below -
** Donna Troy: There are many debates about the best origin story for Donna. More broadly speaking, however, there is also a larger argument about whether Donna is even relevant today. Some people say that she is an integral part of one of DC's [[ComicBook/TeenTitans most beloved franchises]], and editorial is to blame for her lack of presence over the years. Others believe that her role as the TeamMom of the Teen Titans is dated and limits her potential as a character, and that she has little to offer in Franchise/WonderWoman stories when compared to more dynamic supporting characters like Hippolyta, ComicBook/{{Nubia}} or ComicBook/{{Artemis}}.
** Cassie Sandsmark: In the overall fandom, some people feel that Cassie is an interesting character, while others think she deserves to get pushed aside in favor of Yara. But among Cassie's fans, there is also a lot of debate about the best iteration of her character. Does she work best as a [[PluckyGirl plucky]] [[TheUnchosenOne unchosen one]] who is unbothered by her frumpy appearance, or as a [[MostCommonSuperpower bombshell]] demigoddess who is madly in love with Superboy? Some people say that the changes Geoff Johns made to her characterization during his Teen Titans run constituted valid character development, while others think that Peter David was the only writer who got Cassie right.
** Yara Flor: The fact that Yara is the first Wonder Girl to get a solo title is proving somewhat controversial. Many people consider Yara one of the best parts of Future State, and are excited to read more about her; but fans of Cassie Sandsmark are annoyed that Yara is pushing Cassie out of the role, and that Yara is the first Wonder Girl to receive a significant amount of promotion from editorial.

** "Series/StarTrek'' ''Series/{{Dallas}}''" for Troia's Titan Seed outfit

* FanNickname: "The Christmas Sweater" for the new outfit Cassie Sandsmark gains in Teen Titans #65. Given fans hated it, detractor nickname is probably more accurate.
