War is Truth

Finally, we’ve arrived at one of the movie’s most interesting scenes. Ares reveals that he’s speaking the truth. In fact, he’s not the God of War; he’s the God of Truth. His monologue could be dismissed as the final rambling speech every comic book movie villain gives, but we feel that it’s much more than that, because it makes Diana doubt everything she thought she knew.

As long as he’s telling the truth, Ares reveals that the Amazons may not have given her all of the facts, which leads Diana to better understand what she has to do.

This is, of course, an Easter-Egg. In the Warkiller arc from the comics, Ares says that war is truth, so the Lasso of Truth should be his.
