Wonder Woman’s golden lasso has had a few different powers over the years, from truth telling, to submission, to basically mind control — it’s a plot device that can be cheap, but that’s also the whole point. When it’s used on Max Lord at the end of the new HBO Max film, we get a unique ending unlike other DC comic or Snyderverse movies.
