There was no exec with enough guts (and concern for the quality of the product) to tell them to go back to the drawing board, because this script was awful and misguided.
Well, Diana is a woman, so the audience is supposed to hand wave away the fact that she was using another living being to satisfy her desires. As many have said, if the roles were reversed, there would have been 10,000 articles and cable news "investigations" about "normalizing" manipulation / ignoring the idea of free will of an individual all for the sake of sexual desire. But you will not see that because the "right" gender was in the driver's seat. So much for a moral core to the character (and the screenwriters).
Remember, this is from the entertainment business that routinely attempts to browbeat / blacklist anyone who dares to defy their generally warped ideas on a number of issues, so in their minds, the idea of a character using a free human being for her surrogate sexual interest is A-ok. In reality, it was an abominable sub-plot that nearly ruins all that built the Diana/WW character in two of her three earlier appearances. It was only Gadot in her general performance (not related to Trevor) that was good.
Yes, and in the end, this was a major failure for the DCEU, and unlike the theatrical version of Justice League (where its problems were centered on the wrong director, incorrect instincts about the material and his abusive behavior utterly derailing the film from its original intent), WW84's issues go far beyond a hack-level script, but its authors' complete lack of a moral perspective on what the lead character becomes from her actions...blithely skipping over an unforgivably predatory act for reasons.
