In Wonder Woman, Robin Wright as General Antiope, sister of Queen Hippolyta and aunt to young Diana leads the army. She trains her niece without the permission of her queen, and defends her choice when they’re caught. She spends years, perhaps centuries, preparing the princess of Themyscira to be the greatest warrior of the Amazons.

General Antiope, perhaps more than anyone on that island, shapes Diana into a woman who can inspire hope and empathy in others, who can venture out beyond their shores, who can put an end to world wars.

This casting choice may have been made out of amusement or even in the name of fun, but it doesn’t change the fact that Princess Buttercup is now an Amazon warrior. Princess Buttercup is the queen’s right hand. Princess Buttercup tells her sister that she is wrong to keep Diana from her heritage because she already knows what happens to women who cannot fight for themselves—they wind up locked away by a prince who demands their hand in marriage while he simultaneously plots their murder. (Asher-Perrin)
