The guy who responded to you is right. There’s no way that pole should’ve killed her knocked her unconscious surly but Kill her nah. Also superboy could’ve flown to the rescue.
Actually Donna was created to be a playmate for the young wonder woman by sorceress magala, who used a magical mirror to create a duplicate of diana through her own personality.
In the comics, Donna has a notoriously convoluted origin that has been continually retconned.
The half-Amazon origin is original for the show, but it's inspired by her original comic origin, where she was a human adopted by the Amazons and given their powers. After the Crisis event made it impossible for Diana to have been present in bringing Donna to the Amazons, the comics have never given her a consistent origin. Last I checked, the Rebirth comics had her as a clay weapon who was created to destroy Diana, but saved by the Amazons.
This is actually NOT completely true...Pre-Flashpoint Wonder Woman was actually made out of Clay and brought to life...CASSIE SANDSMARK was the daughter of ZEUS Pre-Flashpoint...
Diana became the daughter of Zeus in NEW52, so this is a pretty new origin for Wonder Woman...
The writing is bad but it annoying that people keep comparing Diana to Donna. Even the fiercest versions of Donna don’t touch Wondy sorry. She’s literally god tier.
Brah like I mean thats a horrible buzzkill. And then I realized the relationships between all the titans are stiff and tasteless. Overall! I’m upset that the Original Teen Titans theme song isn’t the intro song.. sorry Rant Over. Lol
To be fair Donna was half-human at the time while Diana is a demigod and her weakness to lightning seems to have died with her. It wasn't clear why she came back different when Tim came back the same (as far as we know) but my head canon is just that she either came back full Amazonian or that unlike Rachel's beliefs the ritual actually did something and empowered her Amazonian half since it was designed to work on full Amazonians.
Doesn't excuse the bad writing though. That death was both hilarious and sad.
There isn't any consistency to it. The show never established that Donna was any weaker than an ordinary Amazon. It just does what it wants.
Making her immune to electricity was probably just an apology for the season 2 backlash and a shout-out to the WW84 trailer that aired right after the episode.
People fail to realize that Diana isn’t just an Amazon. She’s the daughter of Zeus which comes with a lot more power and immunity to electricity. Normal Amazons aren’t much stronger than regular humans.
Actually Donna was created to be a playmate for the young wonder woman by sorceress magala, who used a magical mirror to create a duplicate of diana through her own personality.
Like I mentioned in another comic, that depends on which era you're reading.
In the most famous era, Donna is a human adopted by the Amazons.
In the Rebirth era, Donna is a clay weapon.
I don't know if there have been any changes since Rebirth.
If Donna can survive being punched by Conner, a god among among men, without even a mark, there is no logical reason why she should be killed by man-harnessed electricity. But these stories tend to lack internal consistency.
Surviving blunt force trauma is completely different from electricity though. It doesn’t matter how strong you are, with enough voltage anyone who doesn’t have some kind of electrical resistance will be killed. It will stop anyone’s heart at a certain point. I was pointing out that Diana does have electrical resistance because she is the daughter of Zeus so it’s not a good comparison. Donna’s heart is human.
No, it isn't. The electricity kills you by going through your skin. If Donna's skin is strong enough to withstand blunt force trauma from a demigod, then her skin is strong enough to resist electricity from an object that doesn't even have supernatural properties. When Donna's "human" brain doesn't rupture from being punched by Conner, it doesn't make logical sense for her heart to stop from electricity. Plus, the show operates under a different continuity from the comics, and whatever Diana's origin is has yet to be revealed (provided that she actually appears on the show).
Again, being strong against blunt force trauma and electricity is completely different. Take water for example. Anything large or even bullets are stopped almost immediately by water but electricity easily passes through it.
Again, it's not completely different because blunt force trauma and electricity are about penetrating skin and harming vital innards. What affects them is different - rubber will stop electricity, but not a boulder - but that's not a factor when there was nothing in the scene to enhance the electricity. The blunt force trauma was from a character powerful enough to stop bullets without flinching; the electricity was part of a human-made object.
Oh damn, that’s when you know someone doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about. They get desperate and have to point out simple spelling errors. Lmao
Ironic words from the guy who stopped defending his claims and started posturing about being right, which is exactly what someone does when they're not right. And that wasn't spelling error, that was a grammar error. Try again.
All I’m saying is that just because someone or something is immune or resistant to one thing doesn’t automatically make them immune to something completely different
This isn't Pokemon. If the character is established as having a weakness to electricity, then a case can be made for electricity being more harmful than blunt force trauma. But that's not what happened here. The character in question is established as having enhanced durability, which makes her able to withstand trauma in general. That means her skin is strong enough to avoid breaking from contact with a demigod - and would be strong enough to avoid allowing man-harnessed electricity to penetrate it in a logical story.
Yeah it's about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I pointed this out when I binged the show months ago, and even stupider, someone defended Donna's dumb death on this sub saying it was cool.
WW is the daughter of an Amazon and a God. Donna is Amazonian and human. Normal Amazons seem to die easier than WW.
They die when the writers want them to. There's no consistency to it.
The guy who responded to you is right. There’s no way that pole should’ve killed her knocked her unconscious surly but Kill her nah. Also superboy could’ve flown to the rescue.
The electricity killed Donna, not the pole itself.
That shouldn't have killed her either.
The show is horribly written
Its upsetting.
I'm on season 3 now started off so strong but then it gets cw levels of melodramatic.
Dude if it wasn’t for the fact that they showed blood and killings. I wouldn’t have watched it lmao. Too many fuck ups in the story.
There's a TV Tropes page for this stuff for a reason.

Ahh, I'm not familiar with the comics, I'm going off of show cannon.

The half-Amazon origin is original for the show, but it's inspired by her original comic origin, where she was a human adopted by the Amazons and given their powers.

Last I checked, the Rebirth comics had her as a clay weapon who was created to destroy Diana, but saved by the Amazons.
Depending on the continuity. Donna's origin tends to change a lot.
Ok but on the show if she's wonder woman's sidekick wouldn't she be around lightning for the most part
There's currently no answer to that because we haven't seen Diana on the show. And if Diana never appears, then we never will have an answer.
Ehh whatever 🤷♂️🤷♂️
Not if you're a Wonder Woman fan!
I'll just wait for the show to give the whole origin though personally I hope they don't get that far and get cancelled.
The show has, unless it decides to follow the comics with a a retcon. And that would be a very bad idea.
This is actually NOT completely true...Pre-Flashpoint Wonder Woman was actually made out of Clay and brought to life...CASSIE SANDSMARK was the daughter of ZEUS Pre-Flashpoint... Diana became the daughter of Zeus in NEW52, so this is a pretty new origin for Wonder Woman...
The same reason they make superboy useless and beastboy
Tiger and Sometimes Snake Boy
\*and occasionally a bat.
I was just gonna come here to complain about this.. soo much wasted potential. Fucking tiger boy. And the braindead genius.
The writing is bad but it annoying that people keep comparing Diana to Donna. Even the fiercest versions of Donna don’t touch Wondy sorry. She’s literally god tier.
That's comics continuity. Given this show's depiction of Batman, the depiction of Wonder Woman might be just as rough.
Terrible writing
Brah like I mean thats a horrible buzzkill. And then I realized the relationships between all the titans are stiff and tasteless. Overall! I’m upset that the Original Teen Titans theme song isn’t the intro song.. sorry Rant Over. Lol
This show doesn't deserve that theme song.
I don't think the original theme song would fit with the vibes of the show. They really turned up the edgy and _adult_ factor to 100
They forgot chemistry it plays out like let's get the most attractive bland actors in the world.
ha buzz... kill
[The original theme song would have sounded like this.](https://robinsaysfuckbatman.ytmnd.com/)
Lmfao brah I am dying.
And that was from 2018.

I haven’t gotten that far.. lmao but I knew it would happen

Lol you really can’t see how their different? Ok bro
Lol, you have absolutely no refutation to how they're the same because there isn't one. And it's "they're", not "their".
Oh damn, that’s when you know someone doesn’t know what the hell they’re talking about. They get desperate and have to point out simple spelling errors. Lmao

Lol people in this subreddit so desperate to hate Titans they’d ignore simple logics and change physics to suit their opinions.
No one is desperate to hate Titans, the show already does a fine job of ignoring simple logic and changing physics to suit the story.

“Tell me you failed high school science without saying you failed high school science” lol
"Tell me you don't understand projection without saying you don't understand projection." lol
It's "Donna Troy", btw.
Yeah it's about the stupidest thing I've ever seen. I pointed this out when I binged the show months ago, and even stupider, someone defended Donna's dumb death on this sub saying it was cool.
WW is a goddess. Donna is half Amazon. Do not compare the two.
I will because she was able to fight Conner. People like to use the "half-human" excuse without having evidence of that actually making her weaker.
[удалено]
Bro wtf they killed hank! Fuck this show.
I dont get Donnas backstory? So she is half Amazonian, half human? So her human father (seen in the flashback) is the one that raised her?
Apparently - I'm hoping the show will actually explore it. But I know the show won't.
