Wonder Woman: 18 WTF Moments

5. God Killer Broken

Throughout the film, we're working on the presumption that Diana is carrying the one weapon that can defeat Ares: the sword God Killer.

Although there are hints of there being far more to Diana than she knows, the sword is still presented as having mystical qualities, and Diana certainly believes so when she kills Ludendorff with it. However, that gives way to the realisation he isn't Ares, so when the real deal appears she tries again.

This time, though, Ares isn't just unhurt by the blade, but easily destroys. So much for God Killer.
