I’d argue that the first one used those tropes whereas 87 fell back into them to the point that they became themes.
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
