Before I get started I'd like to give fair warning to fanboys (or haters) that this is something I have not heard of or seen before, so its most likely going to appear as a radical change. This is a concept idea regarding the issue of "gods" existing in the DCCU.
This article isn't to cover the origins of characters like Aquaman and Wonder Woman, but rather how these gods can exists, which are involved in Amazon and Atlantean societies.
So there's been debates on whether or not a wonder woman movie should include gods or not. (this would also apply to Aquaman and any other DC comic character which has Greek gods in their stories)
Here's my take on it.
Yes, sort of.
Let me explain with this. The gods wouldn't be Gods, but rather nearly omnipotent beings with great power, misinterpreted as gods by humans. The gods would be from outer space, who came to earth.
The ones that came to earth did not want to fight in the Apokolips vs New Genesis war, when Darkseid was rising to power. These gods would have tremendous power, but they aren't immortal, it would still be possible to kill one and they dont live forever either. When they came to earth, they brought some advanaced technology with them, which was far ahead of anything else in human civilization at that time.
And I feel this is an Important aspect, because it sets up the Atlantean back story for them being technologically advanced compared to surface dwellers.
It also sets up for more story possibilities down the line with Darkseid coming to invade Earth with his army of Parademons.
Again this is just a concept idea.
Personally I want the gods to be involved in a Wonder Woman movie, whether its a small or large role.
I personally think they should be there since they had influence on some of the stories both in the comics and the animated shows/movies.
Anyway let me know what you think, if you like it or dislike it, down in the comments.
