10. Diana's Ignorance Makes No Sense - Wonder Woman

One of the key elements of Diana's (Gal Gadot) character in Wonder Woman is that she's incredibly ignorant of Earth's ways, and to that end she isn't even aware of the concept of marriage.

However, this clashes with her own declaration that she can "recite Socrates in Ancient Greek", considering that Socrates wrote much about marriage, and so it would be nigh-on impossible for her to be unaware of it as a construct.

Sure, you can argue that in this universe, Socrates' writings were different or Diana's versions of the texts were edited to omit marriage to reflect the Amazons' own ideals, but it's a pretty big stretch.

This was clearly just careless writing to try and make Diana look a little more innocent and relatable in spite of her colossal strength.
