Anyway, the truly perfect choice is my future wife, Jessica Alba.
And goddamnit, this brings up deep seated issues for me. I wrote a letter to Lynda Carter professing my love for her when I was 9. Bitch didn't write me back or so much as send an autographed picture.

Being on an island for thousands of years would tend to make her be speaking a new language. (I remember at one point the queen called Steve Trevor a 'her' and then corrected herself. I was thinking 'Why do they even have a word for 'him'?)
I think it's a bit silly to assume a greek accent now matches a greek accent two and a half millennium ago, much less that an island cut off for that long would match the accent back then. Grand total, that's 5000 years of change!
But obviously they have contact with the outside world, at least in the TV canon. For example, they have a game with deflecting bullets and they're using an old revolver for that. If they truly had been cut off from the outside world, they wouldn't even know what a bullet was, and certainly wouldn't possess a gun that looked like it was from the 1860s.
Also, WW's costume is delibrately made of the US flag colors. Although I guess they could have gotten that information from Steve.
(I'm ignoring the invisible plane, because I'm assuming that's magical.)
