The "full" story rejects the easy comfort of a reboot or a retcon. It says: Actions have permanent consequences. Good intentions do not pave a safe road. And sometimes, the heroine does not get back up.

In the most compelling versions of this story, the heroine is forced into a trolley problem scaled to apocalyptic proportions. For example:

To understand the fall of a heroine, it is essential to consider the ways in which she is constructed in the first place. A heroine is often depicted as a paragon of virtue, with qualities such as kindness, empathy, and selflessness. She is typically portrayed as a role model, inspiring others with her courage, resilience, and determination. The heroine's character is often defined by her relationships with others, particularly those who are marginalized or oppressed. Her actions are guided by a strong sense of morality and a desire to do what is right.

Does it succeed as entertainment? For some, no. For the demographic that craves superhero media that bleeds—emotionally and literally— Fall of a Heroine stands as a twisted masterpiece. Just be prepared for a fall from which there is no return.

To illustrate the power of a heroine's fall, let's consider a few examples:

In the "Fall of a Hero" arc, the villain does not defeat the hero physically; they defeat them philosophically. Lord exploits the chaos of the world, forcing Diana to realize that her refusal to renounce her wish contributes to that chaos. The fall is complete when she realizes she is complicit in the world's suffering.
