For some reason Wonder Woman has an invisible jet. but there's no indication on the island that they had any Advanced Technologies whatsoever, they literally live like they're in turn of the first Millennium Greece.
So let's set the stage, Hippolyta is fighting Ares (big surprise there). Anyways Hippolyta and her army defeat Ares and his ridiculous Greek mythology Army of Cyclops men and giant monster people, think the graveyard smash if you will. The victory does not come simply and most of the former Amazon's are dead. So Zeus commanding that Hippolyta not kill Aries decides to give her the consolation prize of a small island where she and her people can live in peace. They're not allowed to leave the island and they're supposed to live there forever which if you ask me sounds more like imprisonment, but then again the Greek gods are not known for their kindness.
Now Hippolyta would like to have a daughter. But as there are no men on the island she has to resort to plan B, which is to create a baby out of sand and then hope to the gods that one of them shoots lightning. Luckily being a Greek god and having the connections to get the lightning she does eventually get her daughter ''Princess Diana of themyscira.''
One of the things I've always liked about Diana is that she's not an alter ego or a fake identity of some forged out of a lost planets, dead parents or some other stupid gimmick. She was born as an Amazon Warrior and she fights off of her island as an Amazon Warrior. She doesn't have to pretend to be anything or act differently according to what other people think she must do. She will eventually get an alter ego when she wants to live a ''American'' life. But that's out of necessity not some egotistical excuse to deal with your psychological problems.
Why can't Wonder Woman fly? In the original Comics she could fly, but not here for some reason.
So Steve Trevor technically in this movie he's a lot more of a jerk than what he was in the comics. Which at first kind of bothered me but then when you compare him to Wonder Woman's over the top self-important Amazonian view it kind of makes sense. They're both headstrong and they're both a little full of themselves. It makes sense to end up in a relationship. And if they made more movies they could explore their character, have the two of them grow as actual people and eventually ''maybe'' actually like one of another.
Come to think of it; why is Steve flying over the Mediterranean in a fighter jet? And who is he fighting? In the original comic it was the Nazis in the Second World War.
