The Wonder Woman Theory That Makes Steve Trevor's Death More Tragic

Reddit user u/Death_Star_ argued on r/FanTheories that Diana was not suddenly understanding what Steve said through the flashback, but rather that the scene was showing Steve's perspective to the audience. While Steve says, "It has to be me. I can save today. You could save the world. I wish we had more time. I love you," Diana's main response is simply, "What are you saying?" User u/Death_Star_ wrote: "If she knew he was going to sacrifice himself, wouldn't she have said more than that? Or "I love you too" especially since she's an Amazonian, who were created to bring love?" 

Even as we the audience hear the conversation, Diana still seems confused and unable to hear. By this interpretation, that means Diana never heard Steve's confession of love.

The devastation of this theory makes sense considering Diana's origins in Greek mythology, user u/Death_Star_ said. "It would be a Greek tragedy if she never got to hear his final words to her," they wrote, but ended their argument for the theory on a cheeky note: "Also, I don't think Amazonians have internal recorders that can play mute memories back with sound when the deafness and tinnitus go away." Well, some fans believe exactly that. Somehow, her Amazon powers could have allowed her to clarify her own memory ... or maybe read his lips in hindsight?
