Barbara also renounces her wish, and turns back to normal. Lord also sees his son wandering alone in the chaos and realizes he's been a bad dad, so he renounces his own wishes and nopes right out of there to reunite with the young lad. She convinces everyone to accept reality and renounce their wishes, averting nuclear disaster and basically making everyone chill out. The world is falling apart as the globally broadcasting Lord grants everyone's wishes, so Diana uses her Lasso of Truth to communicate with everyone through him. Wonder Woman's Lasso of Truth proves vital in stopping Max Lord. It turns out that Diana is still the apex predator anyway, and she takes Barbara down hard. I don't think people become cheetahs if they get really strong, but that's what happened to her character in the comics and we must pay homage to the source material. She fights Barbara, who wished to become an "apex predator" and transformed into a cheetah person. Since this is the era of the Cold War, the unintended consequence of Lord's wish-fest is bringing the US and Russia to nuclear war.ĭiana dons the bling golden armor of legendary Amazonian warrior Asteria, then uses her newfound ability to fly to reach the broadcast system.

However, Diana's buddy Barbara Minerva ( Kristen Wiig) also made a wish, to become powerful and stylish like her friend. Steve was restored - his soul inhabiting some guy's body - by the stone after Diana wished to have him back, but it's draining her demigod powers in exchange. Since they're the good guys, Diana and the resurrected Steve Trevor ( Gal Gadot and Chris Pine) figure out that the stone was created by the God of Treachery and Mischief (who sounds a lot like Marvel's Loki), and it takes people's most treasured possession as it grants their wishes.
