She knew that the reality was this: that the jet is a goddamn SCIENTIFIC MARVEL! Something that should be admired-because ingenuity, years of hard work, and significant research funds was all involved to develop that piece of technology. who am I?” Meanwhile, Batman was all like “my utility belt is way cooler.”īut she knew what was going on.
They were all like, “Diana… you know we can still see you?” And Superman was prone to flying in a seated position and making steering motions and going, “look at me. Unfortunately, her Super Friends buddies were all idiots about it. She basically said that it was totally fine to spend a whole bunch of her money on it because (a), it was a good way to support interesting science, and (b), well… it was just awesome.
She was like, “whoa… invisible jet… that’s pretty cool.” And then I was all like, “Yeah, but you know that it’s only the jet that goes invisible right? You know that you won’t be invisible when you sit inside it, right?” And she was like, “Yeah, I get it, but that’s OK, because well… invisible-freaking-jet!” Actually, she was pretty amazing about it. If you don’t believe me, then by all means, look it up-my doctoral dissertation and my research publications are quite clear about this. It was just meant to be invisible on its own. It’s my baby.Īnd the reality is that the invisible jet was never meant to hide the pilot. I mean, seriously, what is the point of having an invisible jet if the pilot-and a pilot wearing bright sparkly superhero colors-is so… well… visible?īut listen: I invented that invisible jet! That invisible jet is my research. Because the truth is: Wonder Woman looks kind of stupid floating in mid air. You know this and I know this, and well, everybody knows this. You’re watching Super Friends or reading some Justice League of America comic book, and what do you see? Wonder Woman floating in mid air, in what is apparently an “invisible jet.” And for some reason, the fact that you know that it’s an invisible jet (because someone has gone to the trouble of outlining the jet with white phantom lines), is supposedly meant to make this OK.Įxcept that it doesn’t.
