At the end of the movie Diana is back in England. What will she do there? Where will she go next? The comics have rewritten her story so many times that just about anything is possible. What do you think?
Here are some possibilities I came up with.
She stays for a time in London, maybe with Etta Candy, Steve Trevor's secretary. Candy has been rewritten several times, making her more or less powerful and smart. In the movie she's just a secretary and sort of general manager of Steve's affairs. Steve is an American. Maybe has some trust fund or other money which makes that (maybe) more than a part-time job. She's put in charge of organizing the mission to the front that Diana and Steve go on. My guess is that Candy thus gets a start in some kind of secret agent job, maybe with MI6, maybe independently. So Candy can support Diana until she gets over the trauma of the war, gets a job herself, acclimates to Man's World, and makes some sort of life for herself.
Diana knows dozens of languages, some of them dead ones or at least obscure. So she could get a job as a translator, maybe for the government or a university. My best guess is the Louvre Museum, where's she's seen in the beginning of the movie. When she gets back on her feet she moves out to her own place, maybe near to her friend Candy. Eventually she gets restless, wants to see more of the world, sees problems she wants to get involved in. There were plenty in the years following the war. Maybe too many. In confusion and disgust maybe she just wants out, says a sad goodbye to Candy, and immigrates to America. There she visits Steve Trevor's family and shares with them some of her experiences with him.
Thanks to her Louvre connection, she gets a job there in a similar capacity. My favorite is New York's American Museum of Natural History, featured in the three Night at the Museum movies. It's across the street from Central Park, and two miles from Columbia University and Barnard College, which is co-located but was still separate from Columbia in Diana's time. It would be natural for Diana to enroll in courses there, or at least attend seminars. She couldn't help attracting a diverse entourage, including some non-students from nearby Harlem. The music from there and from Spanish Harlem would have attracted her and some of her entourage. She might have become a flapper, though viewing the role and life style with much amusement, given her alien origin and powers. Inevitably, she'd see injustices and fight them.
Wow! Lots of possibilities I couldn't help exploring in more detail than I'd intended. But there are so many more. What's your take?
