It was bad enough that the movie changed a lot from the comics, but having so many times when it outright disregarded source material didn't make the situation any better. Wonder Woman 1984 was ultimately a fairytale with many problems that weren't really addressed at any point.

One of the movie's biggest issues is that the changes it made from the comics could have worked if they were done properly—but because they weren't, the fans were left trying to piece together everything. From how things occurred in the movie to the storyline's execution, Wonder Woman 1984 confused many fans—even though there were much better alternatives to take from the comics.

10 Barbara Minerva Is A Completely Different Character

Known as Dr. Barbara Ann Minerva in the comics, Barbara in Wonder Woman 1984 is a shy person who is forgotten even by the person who hired her just a week after Barbara was accepted to the job. But this Barbara is a completely different person from the one in the comics—even though there have been different versions of the character.

Barbara is a competent and confident woman in the comics, where she is a professional linguist who also has extensive knowledge of history. In the comic book, Barbara wouldn't be impressed by Diana just because she knows Latin. Moreover, comic book Barbara has been presented both as straight and as queer, but her sexuality is unclear in the movie.

9 The Invisible Jet Has A Much Different Origin Story

The Invisible Jet has also be reiterated multiple times in the comics and has been effectively retconned just as many times. At one point, Diana created it way back on Themyscira. After the reboot of Crisis on Infinite Earths, it becomes a sentient alien crystal—but in yet another story isn't present at all.

In the movie, the Invisible Jet's origin story is simpler and connected to Wonder Woman's power to turn things invisible, making no sense. It's kind of a disservice considering just how many options could be taken from the comics to explain the Invisible Jet.

8 Wonder Woman's Powers Seem To Come Out Of Nowhere

The origin of the Invisible Jet in the movie is directly related to Wonder Woman's powers coming out of nowhere. For some reason, Diana can make objects invisible which is how she creates the Jet.

Her lasso also suddenly gains various powers that it doesn't possess in other DC movies or comics. In Wonder Woman 1984, Diana's lasso can give people visions of the past and connect to a single person to send a message to the planet's entire population—this person being Maxwell Lord. Besides that, it can also attach to lightning bolts and grab bullets, latch onto missiles and planes, and split into parts to attack multiple targets.

7 Wonder Woman Doesn't Have Any Problems To Deal With

There seems to be an absence of any particular problem that Wonder Woman has to deal with except for her inability to let go of Steve.

In the comics, Wonder Woman was on the same level as a god as shown in the movie—however, Diana wasn't perfect. She still had to deal with different issues she encountered, but the movie doesn't seem to want to challenge her in any significant way.

6 Diana Would Have Noticed That The Man Wasn't Steve

Steve doesn't really play an important role in Wonder Woman 1984 except that he is entertaining to watch. He creates a minor obstacle for Diana; however, it's more troubling how Steve and Diana treat the man's body that Steve was returned into.

Not only does she sleep with Steve while he is in the man's body, but she doesn't notice anything odd about him at all—despite stating she loves him dearly. In the comic book, Diana had a more defined moral code and would notice that the person she was with wasn't Steve.

5 Barbara Minerva Didn't Get Her Powers From The Dreamstone

There are many issues with Barbara and the Dreamstone in the movie, but one that is not often discussed is the one that relates to both her and the stone. In the comics, the origin of Barbara's powers is more sinister.

Barbara and Diana were friends when she was just a regular woman, but then Barbara was offered a bride to the god Urzkartaga. After Diana failed to save her, Barbara was cursed by the god to become a cannibalistic cat-woman—a curse Urzkartaga bestowed on every non-virgin seeking his blessings. Diana later offered to help Barbara find a cure, but she rejected Diana's help and promised to destroy all gods and demigods, including Diana.

4 The Golden Eagle Armor Was Actually Gifted To Diana By An Amazon Blacksmith

Unlike the origins of the Invisible Jet, the origins of the Golden Eagle Armor were not simplified but rather elevated. And yet, changing their origins could potentially create plot holes for the movie interpretation of Wonder Woman.

In the comics, the armor was gifted to Diana by an Amazon blacksmith called Pallas, who made the armor for ceremonial purposes. However, Diana would put the armor on for fighting, thanks to it being light and easy to move in.

3 Wonder Woman Has An Invisible Jet, And She Can Fly At The Same Time

In one of the comic book storylines, Diana doesn't have the Invisible Jet—this is because, by that time, Diana had learned how to fly.

However, the movie's issue is that Diana first gets the Invisible Jet, and then, after rejecting her wish and getting back her powers, she also gains the ability to fly. Considering that she now has the Invisible Jet, flying is now redundant for her.

2 Maxwell Lord Has Very Different Powers

The only similarity between the movie Maxwell Lord and the comic book Maxwell Lord is that both are businessmen and industrialists. Otherwise, the two are extremely different characters—and not in the best way.

Maxwell is a telepath whose powers were awakened after aliens activated his dormant metagene. As a businessman, he gave the Justice League funds at one point, but he was controlled by an evil computer and operated against them. He even worked with an organization known as Checkmate in a different storyline, which aimed to stop superheroes. That's when he used his powers to mind control none other than Superman himself.

1 The Dreamstone Has Nothing To Do With Wonder Woman

Besides the fact that the Dreamstone didn't actually give Cheetah her powers, the stone also has nothing to do with Wonder Woman. In fact, it isn't even related to Maxwell Lord in any way or to any other character in the movie. Moreover, it has a different set of powers than the one presented in the movie.

Originally appearing in Neil Gaiman's Sandman, the Dreamstone was created by Dream of the Endless, who used the stone to store most of his powers. The stone was later stolen from Dream and went through many owners throughout the ages—and he eventually got his hands on it again. At one point, Doctor Destiny—the enemy of the Justice League—had the Dreamstone, which was the only moment when it came close to be related to the Wonder Woman series.
