The first Wonder Woman had all those tropes too. People just seem to not remember that. I have never figured out why.
Having the tropes doesn't make the movie bad per se. A bad use of the tropes makes it bad.
WW1 works as a dumb action flick. WW87 fails even at that. Diane giving that moral speech at the climax of the movie felt like a 80s cartoon "moral lesson" - thinking about it, it sure feels like the movie was a big budget, 80s toy-seller cartoon episode
I'd argue that the first one used those tropes whereas 87 fell back into them to the point that they became themes.
