It's because Wonder Woman is "white" as the petition itself stated, because having a "white" person represent anyone of a different skin tone is inherently wrong. Especially if that "person" bears clothing that displays a US flag motif. Because this "white" person doesn't know what it's like to be (choose skin color/race) and therefore has no right representing them. It's the same moronic argument most people involved in identity politics makes about anyone "white" speaking about issues regarding non-"white" people. That by dent of their "white" skin color/race they are inherently incapable of empathizing with anyone non-"white" and are thus somehow ineligible to speak or offer criticism. And these are the same idiots who fail to realize that if this argument holds true, then the argument that non-"white" people are inherently incapable of understanding "white" issues by dent of their non-"white" skin color/race and have no valid reason to speak about or criticize "white" people and their issues must also be true.
andyt2k If people are actually interested in why, instead of just feminist bashing, the petition criticizes using "a character with an overtly sexualized image at a time when the headline news in United States and the world is the objectification of women and girls" instead of an actual woman.
well beat is a vague term , I can say people put batman on a pedestal cuz he is human , a man amongst gods who can hold his own is a very relatable character imo and also there was that time he beat Darkled and made him surrender, all I can say is he can beat anyone given time and research and strategy
Diana was raised to slay monsters. Maxwell Lord was a monster because he refused to turn off his mind control, so she did what came naturally to her. Since he killed Ted Kord (the Blue Beetle), I have nothing but good things to say about Wonder Woman's actions in that comic.
World War 2, they had a bunch of characters dressed like the American flag. Brainwashed generation was naive and trusted the government while they did radiation and other experiments on people.
Supposedly it was Amazonian custom to wear the colours of a country they would visit, and since she was visiting U.S. (to return Trevor home)... It's a silly explanation, but hey, I can overlook that as long as she doesn't represent " truth, justice, and the American way" *puke*, seeing how nowadays 'american way' is just simple bullying other countries out of their resources, making conflicts to make money out of them (and then refuting refugees out of those countries they destroyed), and plain greediness. I dislike radical Islam (or any extremists, for that matter), but what U.S. government/corporate puppets are doing is going to bring the World War 3...

Erm, DC doesn't want us to forget about Lynda Carter. They're putting out a Wonder Woman '77 book digitally, and Supergirl cast Lynda this season, and her dialogue references WW a couple of times ("You should see my other jet," etc.)
I hope the Gal Gadot movie is really good. Usually an overpowered being surrounded by puny humans doesn't make for a good story, but I really hope DC gets on the right track with this movie.
This is Katana Justice League of America is just the beginning branch. Batman was born in, and lives in a fictional America, and you can't have the "Justice League" without Batman. Not to mention, Flash, Green Arrow, Cyborg, Green Lantern etc are ALL Americans.
I miss when Wonder Woman was (in universe) an ambassador of Themiscara and struggled to promote peace and equality in the media while also fighting along side the justice league. Her love life came up from time to time but was not a major identifying quality, it was after they cut Steve Trevor and before they had any super love with Clark Kent.
You neglected to say that the ones who made that petition were the very feminists Wonder Woman was supposed to "empower". This is why we can't have nice things.
WW was never meant to wield a sword. Marsden gave her defensive tools: the lasso of truth and the wrist gauntlets of protection. Her tiara was later adapted to also be a ranged weapon, but only so she could disarm men with guns. The sword and shield are contemporary. I think it's a good, sensible change. Still, one longs for simpler times.:)
Weeeelll it does kind of imply that he was both literally and figuratively whipped by his wife and extraneous lover...; also his mother was probably the insanely overbearing pants of the household for him to think that way and want to marry a woman who agreed with that
Actually William Mouton Marston (a.k.a. Charles Moulton)became convinced through his psychological work that women were more honest than men in certain situations and could work faster and more accurately. During his lifetime, Marston championed the latent abilities and causes of the women of his day. That does not mean, however, that he was not the Dominant in his polygamous relationship. Marston theorized that there is a masculine notion of freedom that is naturally chaotic and violent, and an contrasting feminine notion based on "Love Allure" that leads to an ideal state of submission to loving authority. He also wrote on the blossoming Men's Rights Movement as a newspaper columnist. And Olive Byrne, the woman who lived with the Marstons always wore a pair of large bracelets that Marston used as the inspiration for WW's bracelets. You might also not that in thos early stories in the 40's and 50's, every time time that WW was tied up in a way that bound her bracelets together, she lost her powers. Given the idea that a strong, powerful woman lost all her power and became helpless and submissive once her wrists were tied together means that Marston, although often promoting feminist ideals, was more than likely the Dom in the relationship, at least where Olive was concerned.
You just know that Wonder Woman had Etta Candy eating her box all the time. She'd shove candy up there and be like, "Get in there with your tongue, bitch! Dig out those Rolos!"
The central idea that I gather for Wonder Woman is that she is the 'better generation'. In Wondie's Post-Crisis origin (which was perfect (fight me)), she was the child of a generation that had learned from its hardships. Now, she teaches people to learn from their own hardships, be they injustices or mistakes.
Bernard Gilbert Speaking of which, I wonder what her origin is? I mean I'm pretty sure she's not an amazon, so where did her powers come from? And she's not Wondie's daughter, that's someone else.
They recently tried to re-introduce Wonder Girl / Donna Troy in the last incarnation of her series (where Donna was the one made out of clay). She lasted not even a dozen issues.
She's now in the Titans which seem to be doing pretty decently albeit Donna Troy is probably not very happy with Wonderwoman as the fact that she was made out of clay to kill wonderwoman was told to all of the Titans and some of the justice league.
I say leave it a mystery as long as possible and tease the audience with small bits of information while the DC Universe expands. We don't need to know every bit of originstory right away. Finding out something new in the 3rd movie that doesn't redcon everything we've been told in the first 2 movies (yes, I'm looking at you Spiderman) could make the character even more interesting.
I hope she's formed from clay. That's her origin. I've never understood why people are so cavalier about changing her origin. Its like someone saying, "What if Bruce Wayne's parents were never murdered; he just REALLY hates crime?"
The new origin is also just a cheap knock off of Hercules, so it robs the character of a lot of her uniqueness. Also, the entire point was that she had two mothers, & no father, so they kinda fucked that up with the change.
The classic and most iconic version of Wonder Woman's origin story is that she was a clay statue given life by the Greek God's. Diana's immense powers were also a result of once again blessings of the Gods. The whole story of her being the natural born daughter of Zeus was one of the changes that DC made in the New 52. The New52 Wonder Woman is the route that they will be going with for the 2017 Wonder Woman movie so it kind of makes sense that this new retelling of her story is getting so much attention and publicity.
Because she has light skin and isn't plus size and in their minds that makes her actually an anti-woman figure. I don't know, SJW's just like to complain about everything.
Dear +WhatCulture, my birthday is coming up and I'm wondering if you could do a list on plots, characters, and other important things the Arrowverse has forgotten about (like Malcolm Myrlin having Vandel Savage's finger).
Wait, Etta Candy isn't forgotten, the example you give is from the 2015 'Legend of Wonder Woman' series by Renae de Liz and she is still in the current Rucka iteration of WW?
They aren't trying to hide she is better in a fight that batman, she is either the child of zeus or a clay statue brought to life and given the powers of the gods. Even in BvS, Batman was planning to somehow try to fight Doomsday (because he thought he was the only one left to fight him), but when he saw Wonder Woman's abilities. He retreated and let Wonder Woman and Superman do the actual fighting; because they are clearly better in a straight up fight.
This list is ridiculous. Etta Candy is in the new movie, for crying out loud. Most of the other points aren't "Things DC Wants You To Forget," but "Things You May Not Know." I highly doubt DC is trying to hide the fact that WW is one of the most powerful characters, that she kicked Batman's butt, or that she lost her powers once. This is such a dumb video. And I'm dumber for having watched it. I'm now so dumb, I just wrote a comment on a dumb video.
...what about the time she was a drug addict? I believe the heroine was actually addicted to heroine for a time during the 80's when they were trying to make everything darker.
I actually really like Wonder Woman. I just think the idea of a modern day amazonian warrior beating the shit out of people is pretty cool. Plus those times she straight up kills people with a sword.
justice league animated wonder woman is the best version for me. no edgy sword and shield, gore and murder, just good ol' lasso of truth and gauntlets, flying and punching bad guys. and the romance angle with batman is better than the ones we see today.
You actually have one aspect backwards. The Lasso was originally the Lasso of Submission and was changed to the Lasso of Truth in honor of Marston's contributions to the polygraph. Also because submission was more in kind with the kinky nature they were trying to push away.
reason one is a LOT worst than the vid lets on... I remember looking up a site called "Superman's a dick" on google, which led to a sub site about wonder woman, which highlighted all of wonder woman's "not so heroic" moments...
I went over to Google to search the phrase, and wouldn't you know? the article was so old that there are over 20 copy cat articles that use the same Info? just wanted to say no sense In searching, others bit the idea o.o I'll say that the original site I saw had black borders, was a simple list of pics with minor captions (like an old school image gallery), and was funny as hell.
i'm a FREAKING-HUGE fan of Wonder Woman., have a amazingly huge collection of WW toys., DVD's., books., etc., i also totally love the 1970's tv-series starring Lynda Carter., she my top 3 personal favorite superheroes alongside Batman & Spider-Man.,,.
DC doesn't want you to forget Lynda carter have you read Wonder Woman 77 it's a comic based on the 70s show and have you read rebirth DC isn't dark and gritty anymore aside from a select few
I don't get how Wonder Woman is counted among the Big Three of DC. The simple fact is that she's just not that popular. Most non-comic readers know almost nothing about her unless they grew up around '77.
she is sadly a product of her time(WWII), a time were comic books were gender neutral and ageless, so anyone could read comics for entertainment. but after the second world war ended, comic books lost popularity with everybody except with young boys. so the reason she isn't as popular as other super heroes is because of cooties.
AngelicOblivion90 Probably doesn't help that the consistent elements of her backstory are so damned weird. Etta Candy, the exclusively-female civilization of martial pacifists living in a monarchy which fights for democracy (still trying to work that one out), the BDSM undertones, the somewhat incongruous themes of truth (Loki Agent of Asgard did it better), the _invisible plane_ , the pet kangaroo... Just what was Marston on?
yep, the guy who created wonder woman was an eccentric. but I guess the reason I like wonder woman is because my mom grew up watching the 70s live action show. She kind of reminds me of the female superheros I grew up with(mostly Sailor Moon). want to talk about weird, wonder woman is nothing compared to Sailor moon.
Travis Himebaugh I think she's definitely one of the most popular. People may not know much about her origins or powers, but they definitely know who Wonder Woman is.
I dread even mentioning this. There was a previous pilot for Wonder Woman in the 1960`s around the time that Batman and Green Hornet were on TV. I wish I could forget it, but it was soooo bad.
I was honestly expecting the time she killed maxwell lord to save Superman to be on the list for some reason. But yes, DC does have a problem with Wonder Woman ever being near Superman's powerlevel; most of the battles he dominates pretty handily with her fighting just to stay alive.
Can we put Diana and Superman's relationship here? It's more boring than Belle and Edward and makes WW faar less empowered, which is why she works so well with batman (or any regular dude) since she's the strong one. Also invisible Jet
Li-Li Mandragon you actually haven't read a comic with the Superman/Wonder Woman relationship, have you? Your comment proves this completely. "makes Wonder Woman far less empowered" lol, that is not true at all.
sammy enoma I have and Supes is defending Diana's honor against the other gods, ain't empowering for WW. Hell she needs his help for the majority of the comics (except the one time he gets nuked).
I find a relationship between her and a powerless guy more interesting than a super guy aswell, but to be fair, her crossover comic with Supes it's quite good though
I prefer BatCat over Wonderbat, because they actually understand each and can relate to each other just like Superman and Wonder Woman. I'm also tired of seeing the same played out soap drama of "Oh, I have to go save the city but the villain is holding my loved one as a hostage! Oh no! What do I do?" I get that it's a classic trope, but Superman and Wonder Woman not only respect each other, but they have conflicting issues at times that makes it for an interesting story just like in Kingdom Come.
The pictures you had of Etta Candy? A bunch of them were from a comic from like, a year ago. Lynda Carter: They have a comic based on the '77 Wonder Woman show running currently. She's been brought on as the president in a few episodes of the Supergirl show, and before that in Smallville. Also the UN THING THAT YOU BROUGHT UP.
I don't understand why they want people to forgot about WW kicking Batman's ass. Honor bound to protect the woman or let Batman chase after her because the woman played a part in a crime. Another thing is why would they want people to forget that she can go toe to toe with Superman? Lastly, she got dropped from the UN because she isn't culturally sensitive? What a fucking world we live in...
Buki Regalado I'm pretty sure they want to forget about it because DC fans are obsessed with the idea that Batman is the greatest hero alive and getting beaten up by any superhero would be detrimental to his awesomeness, or something like that.
The fact that DC has made Wonder Woman seem like she's not one of the most powerful DC characters is the reason I do not purchase Wonder Woman comics anymore. In just about every present day comic she's made to look like she's equal to characters such as Aqua Man and Green Lantern and NOT Superman. She's a Demi-God for Lord's sake.
Yip. When Wonder Woman was with the early JUstice League(Society? I forget) she was actually a secretary for about a year. That was it. She did her own crime fighting but when it came to JLA missions, she had to manage the desk and phone calls.
As a member of the BDSM community, I always hate it when people bring up that aspect of the life of Wonder Woman's creator as if it's a reason to ridicule him. Being into bondage and Dom/sub play is *not* inherently "weird" or "wrong", and there are so many other, better reasons to dislike WW's creator: for instance, IIRC, he and his wife supported eugenics.
From your point of view, perhaps. But to me, the biggest "perversion" humanity knows is to belittle and disregard the predilections of others simply because we do not understand them.
It's not just Wonder Woman. DC craps all over all their other characters to make Batman look good because all the fanboys buy is Batman. The fight in Batman v Superman would have been over in 0.000001 second if Superman used superspeed. Hell, Batman even got first billing in the title.
Super speed? The fight would have been over if he just stayed in the air away from the grasp of Batman and used heat vision to melt the armaments, while explaining to Batman that they were both being manipulated as Lex's puppets and his mother was being used as bait.
Wonder Woman '76 With Linda Carter is it's OWN COMIC BOOK! It's True to the Original Tv Series, and is still running 3 years later! It's Also a Great Read for Fans of the show or the Character! So I guess you could say your Research and Development team did some #ShitReasearchForWankers
youtube...... i am here to warn you....am i too soon!? AHH Wonder Woman.....its the key.... you are right! All off you!!! this film.... is a feminist fuck fest! a FEMINIST FUCK FEST!!!! Ahhhhh
the only thing that I really like is the fact that you mentioned the IDIOTIC New 52 writers. Who turned WW into a dumb tramp Lusting over Supe. If I recall, she admire warriors. even in the campy days. (okay Linda Carter was a hot WW, lol) she wouldn't have anything to do with Supe, That's was b4 the idiots took over writing. they had her going for Bats. Even though she kicked his ass once. Bats is a warrior.
Chris Check Its wasn't just that she wasn't muscular enough, I just felt that there were other actresses better suited to the role than her. Gina Carano for one who has the build the the fighting experience aswell as being a good actress.
The Filipino Pentaholic Right he only has the most famous comics the most well rated movies and most well rated games out of any superhero ever. yes please tell me more about how you think he's overrated
Let me tell you something: that Wonder Woman movie everyone is waiting for - It's going to be a total FLOP(just like BvS). Wanna know why? Same reason why Valve won't release Half-Life 3 - extremely high expectations. When it takes too long to release a certain title,the hype and expectations for it build up over time,and high expectations means a VERY high chance of disappointing the audience. And DC fans have been waiting for those movies for a VERY long time. This is why Marvel is doing so well: They came out of nowhere without teasing their movies for a literal decade and nobody had any high expectations, so when they made a decent superhero movie for a B list character(Iron Man),they blew everyone's minds.
Georgi Ganchev But Wonder Woman isn't nearly as popular as Batman or Superman (or Spider-man). It's not going to get the same marketing, kinda like how the 2009 movie ended up being kind of obscure. She may be presented as one of DC's "big three" but they just do not give her much to do compared to the other two.
Mk 34 just shows how retarded DC comics were/are. Bats shouldn't be allowed to stay alive or concious within 2 minutes of fighting her. Let him stay cool and all, but she stumps him more times than he drops her
Mk 34 yes I sympathize with her because you bat crazy fans are so obsessed with undermining other heros to jerk off to bats. Anyways, she killed bats with a rock bro 😂😂😂
Zanjay Daley Batman is the main character of DC. She's a useless character made for dumb suggestions in justice League comics. You don't beat the justice League and superman and tell me you can't beat a porn star with a whip. (And he did beat her in their most recent fight)
Bro, I'm not even a wonder woman fan to all that. I much rather Jon jones, Superman and Deathstroke as my favs, but she's a good character and a very underrated one at that fact. Sure Batman has gotten the best of her, but don't act like she doesn't school him as well. Also, endgame characters were under mind control, so that's indeed a cheap win. Another one that's gonna burn bat fans is that bats has never won an actual cannon fight with superman. I understand your situation tho, you're a Batman fan and thus all other heros automatically become useless in your eyes. My Gf is a Batman fan as well. Might as well end the convo here because you lack the ability to acknowledge another character above your batgod. I'll just leave you with this. Any league member can take other the Justice league. Wonder Woman can, MM would have the most ease, Flash Could do it easily, Supes wouldn't need to blink, aqua man can do it, arrow can as well, not to mention Hal. They'd also need less prep time and less effort than your batgod. Keep wanking over him dude. Hope you learn to respect other characters as well because yours is actually the lease useful in the league
Wouldn't really call this "DC wants you to forget"
It's more of "things people who read the comics already knew"
To forget something you have to know it in the first place, don't you?
touché
Sleepy Agreed
I don't even read wonder woman comics and I knew at least half of these.
Sleepy true
Etta Candy is in the new movie, so I don't think they want us to forget her.
jedisalamander gaming DC doesn't make their own movies.
jedisalamander gaming They want us to forget how much of a bad side kick she was.
She's also kind of a big deal in the new WW comic series
WB owns DC, so in a way they do
She's currently in the comics as a leading character.

That one time wonder woman snapped a dudes neck to save superman
honestly she's killed a lot more people than that intentionally
And when she stabbed out darkseids eye
Ah, Maxwell Lord. Good times, good times
Diana was raised to slay monsters. Maxwell Lord was a monster because he refused to turn off his mind control, so she did what came naturally to her. Since he killed Ted Kord (the Blue Beetle), I have nothing but good things to say about Wonder Woman's actions in that comic.

I hope the Gal Gadot movie is really good. Usually an overpowered being surrounded by puny humans doesn't make for a good story, but I really hope DC gets on the right track with this movie.
Wonder Woman is not culturally sensitivity?
why because she is based on Greek myths and dresses in American inspired costumes?
The Godless-Nerd The reason was she was over sexualised and didn't represent most women
Then just have her wear a pants suit. She's done it multiple times before. No one made her wear the conventionally skimpy outfits.
People are fuckin stupid, whiny babies,.......haven't you realized that yet?
It's cause she is white. Plan and simple.
This is Katana

Excellent video, great production value. You have a new sub!
WW was never meant to wield a sword. Marsden gave her defensive tools: the lasso of truth and the wrist gauntlets of protection. Her tiara was later adapted to also be a ranged weapon, but only so she could disarm men with guns.
The sword and shield are contemporary. I think it's a good, sensible change. Still, one longs for simpler times.:)
Batman gets beaten by all super heroes. He simply tried to talk it out but she attacks instead.
But I love coffee
Wonder Woman is a bitch because she killed many people
The last one seems very creepy. Plus women running the world? Really? It's like that idiot thinks women aren't capable of being corrupt as men

I'm really entertained by your narrative voice and delivery...keep up the good work.
I sincerely hope they don't use the golem origin for the movie, it is so god damn dumb, make her a demigod and be done with it.
I say leave it a mystery as long as possible and tease the audience with small bits of information while the DC Universe expands. We don't need to know every bit of originstory right away. Finding out something new in the 3rd movie that doesn't redcon everything we've been told in the first 2 movies (yes, I'm looking at you Spiderman) could make the character even more interesting.
ShadowsHeat in the movie she was brought to life by Zeus, formed from clay
I hope she's formed from clay. That's her origin. I've never understood why people are so cavalier about changing her origin. Its like someone saying, "What if Bruce Wayne's parents were never murdered; he just REALLY hates crime?"
The new origin is also just a cheap knock off of Hercules, so it robs the character of a lot of her uniqueness. Also, the entire point was that she had two mothers, & no father, so they kinda fucked that up with the change.
O.o where was that point? Who is the other mother? In all renditions her mother is Queen Hippolyta and a shit ton of sisters.
She was in relationship with Both BATMAN and SUPERMAN
You left out the TV movie with a blonde Cathy Lee Crosby and Ricardo Montalban.
Linda W I think we all try to forget that, and the death trap of colored mud! :)
I was going to say that too. WTF was up with her full body jump suit costume? That movie was a total mess.
You're soon going to have to add Wonder Woman (2017) to this list.
The classic and most iconic version of Wonder Woman's origin story is that she was a clay statue given life by the Greek God's. Diana's immense powers were also a result of once again blessings of the Gods. The whole story of her being the natural born daughter of Zeus was one of the changes that DC made in the New 52. The New52 Wonder Woman is the route that they will be going with for the 2017 Wonder Woman movie so it kind of makes sense that this new retelling of her story is getting so much attention and publicity.
Amazon Warrior...
Woman Made of Clay by Hippolyta...
Woman Made of Clay by Hippolyta and Hades...
Daughter of Zeus...
Can't keep her story straight.
Sounds like a Tinder date telling people where you two met.
how is wonder woman culturally insensitive
Because she has light skin and isn't plus size and in their minds that makes her actually an anti-woman figure. I don't know, SJW's just like to complain about everything.
Dear +WhatCulture, my birthday is coming up and I'm wondering if you could do a list on plots, characters, and other important things the Arrowverse has forgotten about (like Malcolm Myrlin having Vandel Savage's finger).
How exactly does DC wants us to forget about Linda Carter when they have a comic series based on her show?
They want you to forget Etta Candy even though she's in the upcoming movie?
i want to forget that she aint available in battlefield 1
New 52 Wonder Woman comics were really good.
I'm soooooooooo glad you included Flash and wonder woman in the category of "most powerful superheroes". They are my favorite superheroes!
Wonder Woman was, is, and always will be the greatest superhero of all time
If I remember correctly the creators wife was also believed in eugenics
Lots of people did back then.
Wait, Etta Candy isn't forgotten, the example you give is from the 2015 'Legend of Wonder Woman' series by Renae de Liz and she is still in the current Rucka iteration of WW?
Easily one of my favourite hosts on CZcams 😁 xox
Btw the George Perez reenvisioning post Crisis I STILL the best😎💗💗😎
Hell yeah!
Preach it!
Got that right. Loved both Lynda and Gal though.
Isn't eta candy in the wonder woman movie?
Yes.
Dennis Bowers so they don't want us to forget her then...
Celldrom
The people making the Wonder Woman movie don't want us to.
They aren't trying to hide she is better in a fight that batman, she is either the child of zeus or a clay statue brought to life and given the powers of the gods.
Even in BvS, Batman was planning to somehow try to fight Doomsday (because he thought he was the only one left to fight him), but when he saw Wonder Woman's abilities. He retreated and let Wonder Woman and Superman do the actual fighting; because they are clearly better in a straight up fight.
Good episode!
This list is ridiculous. Etta Candy is in the new movie, for crying out loud. Most of the other points aren't "Things DC Wants You To Forget," but "Things You May Not Know." I highly doubt DC is trying to hide the fact that WW is one of the most powerful characters, that she kicked Batman's butt, or that she lost her powers once. This is such a dumb video. And I'm dumber for having watched it. I'm now so dumb, I just wrote a comment on a dumb video.
...what about the time she was a drug addict? I believe the heroine was actually addicted to heroine for a time during the 80's when they were trying to make everything darker.
Cmon! Everyone loves Edda Candy!
So excited for the Wonder Woman movie!
Monica Bellucci should be Wonder Woman she fits the role better
Just saw Wonder Woman I loved it
She had a sister named Nubia
Top 10 Things Marvel Wants You To Forget About Deadpool
1. He used to be as gritty and edgy as Cable.
I actually really like Wonder Woman. I just think the idea of a modern day amazonian warrior beating the shit out of people is pretty cool. Plus those times she straight up kills people with a sword.
justice league animated wonder woman is the best version for me. no edgy sword and shield, gore and murder, just good ol' lasso of truth and gauntlets, flying and punching bad guys. and the romance angle with batman is better than the ones we see today.
"Woo woo, for the love of chocolate." is my new catchphrase.
You actually have one aspect backwards. The Lasso was originally the Lasso of Submission and was changed to the Lasso of Truth in honor of Marston's contributions to the polygraph. Also because submission was more in kind with the kinky nature they were trying to push away.
VIDEODESTRUCT But her bracelets still get to be called the Bracelets of Submission because reasons.
reason one is a LOT worst than the vid lets on... I remember looking up a site called "Superman's a dick" on google, which led to a sub site about wonder woman, which highlighted all of wonder woman's "not so heroic" moments...
I went over to Google to search the phrase, and wouldn't you know? the article was so old that there are over 20 copy cat articles that use the same Info?
just wanted to say no sense In searching, others bit the idea o.o
I'll say that the original site I saw had black borders, was a simple list of pics with minor captions (like an old school image gallery), and was funny as hell.
everyone knows about that site dumbfuck
i'm a FREAKING-HUGE fan of Wonder Woman., have a amazingly huge collection of WW toys., DVD's., books., etc., i also totally love the 1970's tv-series starring Lynda Carter., she my top 3 personal favorite superheroes alongside Batman & Spider-Man.,,.
Did you collect the Golden Age Omnibus? First chance in a long time to finally complete the golden age stories.
damn i would
She went from being able to glide on currents of air to full fledged flying.
DC doesn't want you to forget Lynda carter have you read Wonder Woman 77 it's a comic based on the 70s show and have you read rebirth DC isn't dark and gritty anymore aside from a select few
She's also a confirmed lesbian. DC comics writer confirmed it. It would only make sense, being that she was on a FEMALE ONLY island!
Confirmed bisexual.
I don't get how Wonder Woman is counted among the Big Three of DC. The simple fact is that she's just not that popular. Most non-comic readers know almost nothing about her unless they grew up around '77.
she is sadly a product of her time(WWII), a time were comic books were gender neutral and ageless, so anyone could read comics for entertainment. but after the second world war ended, comic books lost popularity with everybody except with young boys. so the reason she isn't as popular as other super heroes is because of cooties.
AngelicOblivion90 Probably doesn't help that the consistent elements of her backstory are so damned weird. Etta Candy, the exclusively-female civilization of martial pacifists living in a monarchy which fights for democracy (still trying to work that one out), the BDSM undertones, the somewhat incongruous themes of truth (Loki Agent of Asgard did it better), the _invisible plane_ , the pet kangaroo...
Just what was Marston on?
yep, the guy who created wonder woman was an eccentric. but I guess the reason I like wonder woman is because my mom grew up watching the 70s live action show. She kind of reminds me of the female superheros I grew up with(mostly Sailor Moon). want to talk about weird, wonder woman is nothing compared to Sailor moon.
AngelicOblivion90 That's just how Japan is now.
Travis Himebaugh I think she's definitely one of the most popular. People may not know much about her origins or powers, but they definitely know who Wonder Woman is.
"I need to stay with Steve and junk" 😂😂
I dread even mentioning this. There was a previous pilot for Wonder Woman in the 1960`s around the time that Batman and Green Hornet were on TV. I wish I could forget it, but it was soooo bad.
I was honestly expecting the time she killed maxwell lord to save Superman to be on the list for some reason.
But yes, DC does have a problem with Wonder Woman ever being near Superman's powerlevel; most of the battles he dominates pretty handily with her fighting just to stay alive.
Maxwell Lord is alive and well on the Super girl TV show, but they killed off Red Tornado on that show.
Superman wnd ww are mid tier
Can we put Diana and Superman's relationship here? It's more boring than Belle and Edward and makes WW faar less empowered, which is why she works so well with batman (or any regular dude) since she's the strong one.
Also invisible Jet
Li-Li Mandragon you actually haven't read a comic with the Superman/Wonder Woman relationship, have you? Your comment proves this completely. "makes Wonder Woman far less empowered" lol, that is not true at all.
sammy enoma I have and Supes is defending Diana's honor against the other gods, ain't empowering for WW. Hell she needs his help for the majority of the comics (except the one time he gets nuked).
in one of those graphic novel things he knocks her up and she doesn't tell him after he as she put it, took me as was your right.
I find a relationship between her and a powerless guy more interesting than a super guy aswell, but to be fair, her crossover comic with Supes it's quite good though
I prefer BatCat over Wonderbat, because they actually understand each and can relate to each other just like Superman and Wonder Woman. I'm also tired of seeing the same played out soap drama of "Oh, I have to go save the city but the villain is holding my loved one as a hostage! Oh no! What do I do?" I get that it's a classic trope, but Superman and Wonder Woman not only respect each other, but they have conflicting issues at times that makes it for an interesting story just like in Kingdom Come.
The pictures you had of Etta Candy? A bunch of them were from a comic from like, a year ago.
Lynda Carter: They have a comic based on the '77 Wonder Woman show running currently. She's been brought on as the president in a few episodes of the Supergirl show, and before that in Smallville. Also the UN THING THAT YOU BROUGHT UP.
You got a demigod making tea for you. Funniest line in the whole thing.
I don't understand why they want people to forgot about WW kicking Batman's ass. Honor bound to protect the woman or let Batman chase after her because the woman played a part in a crime. Another thing is why would they want people to forget that she can go toe to toe with Superman?
Lastly, she got dropped from the UN because she isn't culturally sensitive? What a fucking world we live in...
Buki Regalado
I'm pretty sure they want to forget about it because DC fans are obsessed with the idea that Batman is the greatest hero alive and getting beaten up by any superhero would be detrimental to his awesomeness, or something like that.
Buki Regalado She can't go toe to toe with superman lmao
+KDog1265 You said it perfectly. It's pathetic how bad Bat-overhype has gotten.
The fact that DC has made Wonder Woman seem like she's not one of the most powerful DC characters is the reason I do not purchase Wonder Woman comics anymore. In just about every present day comic she's made to look like she's equal to characters such as Aqua Man and Green Lantern and NOT Superman. She's a Demi-God for Lord's sake.
Yip. When Wonder Woman was with the early JUstice League(Society? I forget) she was actually a secretary for about a year. That was it. She did her own crime fighting but when it came to JLA missions, she had to manage the desk and phone calls.
Linda Carter was my first crush and I never missed an episode. Go Wonder Woman!
Wonder Woman is actually Superman in drag.
forgot the invisible plane, you never see or hear about it anymore
Raul Ibanez she can fly under her own powers now.
Felix Ellis yeah I know that's why it would be perfect for the list of things they want you to forget yes?
no, because maybe the top spot is so bad it's already been forgotten, yes? hence why it isn't on the list
HA you never see it!!
The invisible planes a stupid concept anyways.
can any one tell me the soundtrack which started at 0:48
The fact that NBC didn't pick up the series is yet another reason I don't watch much network television anymore.
As a member of the BDSM community, I always hate it when people bring up that aspect of the life of Wonder Woman's creator as if it's a reason to ridicule him. Being into bondage and Dom/sub play is *not* inherently "weird" or "wrong", and there are so many other, better reasons to dislike WW's creator: for instance, IIRC, he and his wife supported eugenics.
ShatteredPsyche it is perverted
From your point of view, perhaps. But to me, the biggest "perversion" humanity knows is to belittle and disregard the predilections of others simply because we do not understand them.
Chill pervert
I *am* a chill pervert, thank you!
I just want to say I was kidding with that comment, but that is a good come back lol
It's not just Wonder Woman. DC craps all over all their other characters to make Batman look good because all the fanboys buy is Batman. The fight in Batman v Superman would have been over in 0.000001 second if Superman used superspeed. Hell, Batman even got first billing in the title.
Super speed? The fight would have been over if he just stayed in the air away from the grasp of Batman and used heat vision to melt the armaments, while explaining to Batman that they were both being manipulated as Lex's puppets and his mother was being used as bait.
It would have ended quickly, it was obvious from the film, that Superman was being patient, and mostly holding waaaay back.
Dennis Bowers it would have instantly ended if superman said Martha. And if the fight was genuine come on superman would not kill batman.
You are wrong!
The fanboys also buy Green lantern, which is why both titles were kind of not rebooted in the same way as everything else in new52.
Wonder Woman '76 With Linda Carter is it's OWN COMIC BOOK! It's True to the Original Tv Series, and is still running 3 years later! It's Also a Great Read for Fans of the show or the Character! So I guess you could say your Research and Development team did some #ShitReasearchForWankers
The invisible fucking jet!!!(That's one to forget)
I could swear that that TV pilot was a porn parody
Im coming from the future, and i have to say number 11 is her 2017 movie.
They should film that in a dream sequence .. ' You were right Bruce! !!!!.... the DCEU sucks ass, it always sucks ass !!!
o pissoff
youtube...... i am here to warn you....am i too soon!? AHH Wonder Woman.....its the key.... you are right! All off you!!! this film.... is a feminist fuck fest! a FEMINIST FUCK FEST!!!! Ahhhhh
Maybe
Well guess what
WOW, this was interesting!
So Wonder Woman is basically the introducer of the lie detector test itself? That's something DC should really want us to remember.
the only thing that I really like is the fact that you mentioned the IDIOTIC New 52 writers. Who turned WW into a dumb tramp Lusting over Supe. If I recall, she admire warriors. even in the campy days. (okay Linda Carter was a hot WW, lol) she wouldn't have anything to do with Supe, That's was b4 the idiots took over writing. they had her going for Bats. Even though she kicked his ass once. Bats is a warrior.
Gal Gadot is good, but I'm sure there's another actress with more curves and blue eyes that would be great.
Claudio Lima so to you wonder Woman is about curves?
Yup. If Marvel got Scarllet Jonhanson, Liv Tyler, Elizabeth Olsen... I wouldn't expect less from DC. Althought, Faora and Lois Lane are pretty hot.
I totally think Gal Gadot was the wrong choice for Wonder Women.
kronosleblu888 At least muscles. Gal has been bulking up, it seems, so that criticism isn't as big a deal now.
Chris Check Its wasn't just that she wasn't muscular enough, I just felt that there were other actresses better suited to the role than her.
Gina Carano for one who has the build the the fighting experience aswell as being a good actress.
You forgot about the fact, that in some comics she was temporally losing her powers after being tied up by a man
There is a Wonder Woman game based on the 70's TV show at our local casino. It's a kick!
Batman is the strongest hero in dc....put some respect on his fucking name
I think it all depends on which hero is the main character of a particular story.
Corey Colbert In terms of power and ability no
The Filipino Pentaholic Right he only has the most famous comics the most well rated movies and most well rated games out of any superhero ever. yes please tell me more about how you think he's overrated
Batman is so overrated and his fanboys are annoying dickriders including king dickrider himself Frank Miller.
***** Batman arkham series. Dark knight trilogy. Bye
I actually like her with Supes.
Disdanny I did too
Not everybody in the comics aren't dark anymore cuz the new 52 ended and rebirth began so she is a more light hearted character now
They don't want people to forget the 70s show; they currently have a series of comics with her teaming up with Adam West's 60s Batman
Let me tell you something: that Wonder Woman movie everyone is waiting for - It's going to be a total FLOP(just like BvS). Wanna know why? Same reason why Valve won't release Half-Life 3 - extremely high expectations. When it takes too long to release a certain title,the hype and expectations for it build up over time,and high expectations means a VERY high chance of disappointing the audience. And DC fans have been waiting for those movies for a VERY long time. This is why Marvel is doing so well: They came out of nowhere without teasing their movies for a literal decade and nobody had any high expectations, so when they made a decent superhero movie for a B list character(Iron Man),they blew everyone's minds.
Georgi Ganchev But Wonder Woman isn't nearly as popular as Batman or Superman (or Spider-man). It's not going to get the same marketing, kinda like how the 2009 movie ended up being kind of obscure. She may be presented as one of DC's "big three" but they just do not give her much to do compared to the other two.
For alot of people she is, and if the movie flops ever femminest will burn down rotten tomatoes
Absolutely not
Batman defeats her verbally and physically if he wanted to. go read batman endgame. he beat her and the whole justice League.
Mk 34 just shows how retarded DC comics were/are. Bats shouldn't be allowed to stay alive or concious within 2 minutes of fighting her. Let him stay cool and all, but she stumps him more times than he drops her
Mk 34 yes I sympathize with her because you bat crazy fans are so obsessed with undermining other heros to jerk off to bats. Anyways, she killed bats with a rock bro 😂😂😂
Zanjay Daley Batman is the main character of DC. She's a useless character made for dumb suggestions in justice League comics.
You don't beat the justice League and superman and tell me you can't beat a porn star with a whip. (And he did beat her in their most recent fight)
Bro, I'm not even a wonder woman fan to all that. I much rather Jon jones, Superman and Deathstroke as my favs, but she's a good character and a very underrated one at that fact. Sure Batman has gotten the best of her, but don't act like she doesn't school him as well. Also, endgame characters were under mind control, so that's indeed a cheap win. Another one that's gonna burn bat fans is that bats has never won an actual cannon fight with superman. I understand your situation tho, you're a Batman fan and thus all other heros automatically become useless in your eyes. My Gf is a Batman fan as well. Might as well end the convo here because you lack the ability to acknowledge another character above your batgod. I'll just leave you with this. Any league member can take other the Justice league. Wonder Woman can, MM would have the most ease, Flash Could do it easily, Supes wouldn't need to blink, aqua man can do it, arrow can as well, not to mention Hal. They'd also need less prep time and less effort than your batgod. Keep wanking over him dude. Hope you learn to respect other characters as well because yours is actually the lease useful in the league
Zanjay Daley He has beaten him in canon. He beat him in endgame and in hush. Both are canon stories.
NOTHING ELSE MATTERS BATMAN IS DC
wow cool
I love that the hashtags are short again.
