Wonder Tot


Wonder Woman 1984 | Young Diana Takes on The Amazon Games



Wonder Woman :
 Some days, my childhood feels so very far away. 
And others, I can almost see it. 

The magical land of My Youth, 
like a beautiful dream of when 
The Whole World felt like A Promise 
and The Lessons that lay ahead yet unseen. 

Looking back, [chuckles] I wish I’d listened
Wish I’d watched more closely and understood
But sometimes you can’t see 
what you’re learning 
until you come out 
The Other Side.


I’m gonna miss out.
I’ve seen this contest humble even 
the most seasoned warriors, Diana.

Wonder Tot, Princess Diana 
of Themyscira (Aged 10) :
I can Do It.

Just Do Your Best. And remember, 
Greatness is not what you think. 
Pace Yourself and Watch.




Wonder Tot, Princess Diana 
of Themyscira (Aged 10) :
No! That’s not fair
No. No. But…


Artemis :
You took The Short Path.

Wonder Tot, Princess Diana 
of Themyscira (Aged 10) :
But…

Artemis :
You cheated, Diana.

Wonder Tot :
No. But that…

Artemis :
That is The Truth
That is the only Truth, 
and Truth is all there is.

Wonder Tot, Princess Diana 
of Themyscira (Aged 10) :
But I would’ve won
if you didn’t…

Artemis :
But You Didn’t
You cannot be The Winner, because 
You are Not Ready to Win, 
and there is no shame in that. 

Wonder Tot, Princess Diana 
of Themyscira (Aged 10) :
Only in knowing 
The Truth in Your Heart 
and not accepting it. 
No True Hero is born from lies.


[Young Diana crying]

Your Time will come, Diana.

Wonder Tot, Princess Diana 
of Themyscira (Aged 10) :
When?

When You’re Ready --
Look to The Golden Warrior Asteria. 
She did not become A Legend out of haste. 
She did it through True Acts of Bravery. 
Like Patience, Diligenceand the 
Courage to Face The Truth.

[sighs]

One Day, You’ll become all 
that You Dream of and more
and Everything will be Different. 
This World is not yet ready 
for all that You Will Do.
