I'm convinced the writers, producers, and/or most everyone involved with the show just hated working on it to the point of sabotage. The sheer frequency and specificness of some of these maddening decisions could only be accomplished through sheer spite
@@brosephnoonan223 blaming stupidity on malice is dangerous. Pathologically attributing to stupidity what is admitted to be malice is fucking suicidal. Stop treating Hanlon's razor like dogma.
Being legit exhausted, out of time and visibly unable to get herself out of sub-zero water..? Determination and recalling some childhood trauma will nullify that tiny hurdle, however, a young woman using a spray she took ahold of, front and center..? Naaah, Kate ain't got nothing to detect/prevent/mitigate that kind of situational hazard, not while literally facing the chick and holding onto her. 😝 Lol!
Just a heads up. Kate was training to become a Crow and would absolutely have had to kill someone at some point, especially working in Gotham City. They NEVER provided any reason she'd be so against killing people in general. Like don't just kill every single criminal you come across, but she's EXTREMELY against killing anyone ever and they didn't give any reason for it. Batman has a reason for it, some pretty damn good ones too, and he passes this rule onto his partners, but Kate didn't get that. You know cause she just STOLE the bat suit instead of earning the mantle like everyone else. So, why would she care? If taking the criminal down for good is the best option at the moment, why wouldn't she just do that? She was like the best marksman by a thousand miles, did she think she'd NEVER have to shoot someone?
It's even worse because the comics have specifically highlighted the fact that because Kate has military training and was raised around soldiers, her policy on killing isn't as absolute as Bruce's. She even uses guns at various points throughout her career.
Well, I don't think there needs to be a super strong reason. She wants to be a crime fighter, not a mass murderer... makes sense to me. However where this all falls apart *_instantly_* and *_hilariously_* is when Kate allows crazy mass murderers to run free and kill hundreds of people. Past episode 2 or so, every death caused by Alice is on Kate for not putting her behind bars. Why doesn't Kate put people behind bars? Something about the cops being fascist transphobes or something I guess. Sometimes, she just casually tortures criminals or beats them into a bloody pulp and then just allows them to go their merry ways. Keep in mind, this is after she announced she'd be better than Batman. It's a farce and whoever wrote this show is a legit sociopath, that treats people like brainless robots.
The worst part is they have this chick named alice hint at this background bigger bad leading us to the LOGICAL conclusion of it being MAD HATTER instead they use… hush.
And the show itself led us into the idea of it being about Safiyah which honestly just feels like a talia/nyssa knock-off "al ghul" character but an island of women instead, which turned out to be massively boring. Black Mask was the only good villain even if the writing isn't good the performance was as good as it ever get in season 2 in that sense. But S1 was so much funner to watch, S2 is just BLM bs.

I still come back and rewatch the efap coverage of batwoman. Its one of my earliest experiences with efap, and one of the most delightful ones as well.
Fun fact I learned: the actor who plays Alice also played Black Canary in Birds of Prey…the 2002 TV series. Not the movie. Another thing I learned: even though Alice is canonically both Batwoman’s sister and a villain in the comics, they really half-assed her character here. In the comics, Alice always *dresses* like some fantastical Alice in Wonderland character, and apparently *only* speaks in Alice in Wonderland quotes. Also, It seems like the first thing the Kanes tried to do in the comics after learning that Alice was Beth was to *get her psychiatric help*
"Nah, that's just lame. Let's just half-ass CW Alice and make her just a quirky crazy girl and have Kate let her good everytime because she's 'family'. -CW Writers.
Luke's actor deserves so much better but then again he signed onto this hellhole of a show. He's not even that bad of an actor if they give him the right direction, hopefully this doesn't tank his career.
I just noticed at around 3:00 when batwoman flies, the shitty effect is in the foreground of the tree, which is weird because she's obviously meant to be further away than the tree. So not only is the effect garbage, they couldn't even make the shitty effect work correctly in the depth of the shot. *SLOW CLAP*
_Holy. Mother. of. _*_GOD,_* this show's a _GOLD MINE....._ or is it a uranium mine? Whatever, take your pick, but Jesus H. Christ, I knew that this show was bad, thanks in no small part to people like the Critical Drinker and the guys of EFAP, but *_HOT DAYUM_* did I *_NOT_* expect it to be *_THIS_* terrible! It's actually hilarious!..... or is it depressing? Once again, take your pick. *_BirdsElopeWithTheSun,_* PROPS for what you do! Thanks for condensing the HOURS of this hilarity into these compilations! It makes things so much easier for me to watch, plus your additional editing is absolutely on point and even stellar at times! *Keep up the good works!*
That opening for Batwoman Season 2 Episode 1 reaction was one of the hypest moments I've seen from anything in a while. I had no idea they were bring on J, Drinker or Az so seeing them there as it slowly panned out was AWESOME.
The scene after Alice was captured and was put in the interrogation room proves that different writers are doing different scenes in the same episode and then they edit them together without "proofing" them. Kate Kane is surprised that Alice is in a holding cell. She's been in a holding cell for 8 hours. She has blonde hair. The other one has brown hair. Even if the Crows let Alice go, the first thing she did was go dye her hair? Mauler is right that acting hurts your soul, but the writing annihilates it.
Ruby Rose's batwoman was such a terrible spectacle that it truly boggled the mind. A shame that the new batwoman just went for "we wuz batz n shieeet" rather than finding an actress equally as terrible as her.
And a town that's dealt with The Joker, Two Face, The Penguin, The Riddler, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn, Ra's Al Ghul who's more of a worldwide threat, Bane, Scarecrow and so on is now somehow terrified of Kate's sister in Alice in Wonderland cosplay.
@Victor Kobayashi Nah, he's doing it all himself. Of course, you're silly to think the Creatoor of the Universe needs help. With something. While not existing.

@@19Ledor went digging, had to see for myself ua-cam.com/video/8IPTA7MXgBM/v-deo.html I'm not sure it's the same exact track, but you can definitely hear the "Batwoman EFAP Theme" briefly at right about 1:40. But, I think it's a coincidence. The "Theme" is just the ascending first 4 notes of a minor scale, it's an incredibly simple bit of music to write and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been done before by other composers. Sea of Thieves did it better though, they didn't repeat it on a loop like Batwoman does
@@Dragenthor Those cords sent shivers down my spine when watching E3 (albeit drunk). I could tell it was edited, but maybe it is a different song after another thorough listening. The fact that some other random shmuck used those same 4 cords just goes to show how amazingly simple Batwoman's "theme" is.
You think Simping for EFAP is gonna somehow save them from their lack of Batwahmen releases?!?! Well, that's where you're right, kiddo...🤣👍 Cheers man 😆😉
I love that in the same episode, they lean *heavily* into a new lesbian relationship, and also reveal that the villain needs kryptonite. Only a very small minority of the audience is going to understand why, and it's not the same people who enjoy the identity politics aspect of the show. *WHO IS THIS FOR??*
I had heard about how bad this show was, but this is unbelievable. The sexist propaganda, the campy and hyperbolic characters, a script that sounds like a mishmash of young adult fiction and Facebook posts, the cringe-worthy lead who was clearly given the role based on sexual orientation...it hurts my brain just trying to comprehend these tiny clips.
2:27:28 Ah the fabled moment when everyone realized we're dealing with 1940's/1950's Batman. The detective in a Dracula cape who killed the shit out of commies.
I swear that kryptonite thing was because it's one of the few things the writers actually knew about the dc universe. Bet they thought they were being very clever with that one.
This show fails to realize that yeah, trained women can overpower men but it's not just "I punch him HARDER", there's technique to it. You don't just charge at a deer with a knife, you lure it into a trap with a blind and a gun.
And, that would ACTUALLY empower a woman. Seeing a female character overcome her physical shortcomings with tactics and smart play, would have the audience cheer for her efforts and success. Often times acknowledging the character’s natural or nurtured flaws and trying to grow to success is better than pretending flaws never exist.
You can have characters be gay, you can show people how they are gay, you can give people a glimpse into what it's like being gay. The problem arises when you make it every episode's mandate, and the entire root personality of all characters in the show.
They would have gotten back 10 points if that bat-rack had some shark repellent. Edit: Hold on! Back up! She went to a shooting contest hungover from tequila shots the night prior, and still managed to beat everyone? One: that means she's able to be better and deliberately chose to handicap herself with friggin alcohol. Two: if she was the best despite that, your range master must train imperial stormtroopers in their spare time.
You know what makes it worse?? When shooting your breathing can effect your aim not to mention a load of other sh*t like heart rate or the state of your muscles AND WHEN YOUR DRUNK YOU CAN'T F*CKING CONTROL ANY OF THOSE IF YOU TRY AND SHOOT A GUN WHILE DRUNK YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF FROM THE RECOIL The writers of this show have set common sense and logic on fire to make her perfect And what I said isn't some unknown knowledge anyone with one functioning brain cell will tell you shooting a gun while drunk is a bad F*CKING idea Do these writers even exist in the same universe as us ??
The writers try selling it like "She is so amazing she beat everyone else while hungover drunk" while I see it more as "she was so irresponsible she got horribly drunk the day before a sharp-shooting competition and could have killed someone".
If you absolutely must use RT, go for audience score. It's a better scale of what the general human thinks of a movie/show, rather than robotic and technical critic reviews. Also, critics could very well be paid off behind the scenes to affect the score.
Just remember that the people who reviewed joker are different to the people who reviewed batwoman. The only people who decided to watch a CW show in the first place already have low standards while a large variety of people watched Joker since it was a mainstream movie.
"In the first age, long before the creation of the great thinkers, there was simply three good friends bonding over picking apart other people's videos, and critiquing them. The first one they critiqued, as many may not know of today, was the Forbidden One. During these seemingly forgotten times, a wolf long gone uttered this phrase, reciting it from a now holy scripture kept within the sacred Vaults of Objectivety. To be kept safe during the Objectivety vs Subjectivety War and when the Culture War finally descended upon EFAP. The scripture was once recited as often as the simple greeting "hi Rags" yet it is not so well known today. So, in memorial, to all those that find this message, and gaze at it with your eyes, as though it were well constructed hit box, I utter a greeting to you my fellow scholars of the Old Massive Testament of Objectivety. Before you take a bite out of a pizza you may or may not be consuming at this very moment of time, I say to you... Hello all my N-words." -The Massive Testament, Volume Zero, Year Zero, Mostly Complete Edition.
I can’t help but love the fact that this show brought so much joy to the EFAP crew for all of the wrong reasons. Oh the money I would pay to see the creator’s faces if they could hear the uproarious laughter that their writing inspires.
What if....all of Batwoman.... is just Batman...under the effect of the Fear Toxin from Scarecrow... having a horrible vision/nightmare about what would happen to Gotham if he left....
So, potentially stupid question: what was Ned Flanders's motivation? Like, why did he kidnap Alice and treat her like shit, break her spirit and all that? Why did he treat Mouse the way he did? Just... why did he do any of this?
From what I gathered from JLongbone's reactions, he kept Mouse locked away to 'protect him' in a twisted sense, and kidnapped Alice so he'd have a friend. Now abusing her, cutting off her mom's head and sticking it in the fridge, I can't answer that.
Why kidnap Beth: easy to cover up, she's presumed dead. He wanted to break her down to manipulate/reinforce her new identity as "Alice". He was disgusted with Mouse. Flanders is a narcissist, Mouse was a reminder of Flander's limitations. Flander's is the best cosmetic surgeon in Gotham and cant "fix" his own son. Finding Beth & Kate's Mother's decapitated head was a "bonus". The Red Queen (psychopath, no character developement), knowing her son was a gifted surgeon wanted Mrs Kane's face.
Wait, I just realized: that explains how he was able to kidnap Beth but not why. Like, why take her if he just wanted the mother's face? What, did he want her to give Mouse a companion? Did he want to mold her into his, like, ideal child after "failing" with Mouse? I get that they probably just put this in so that the writers can explain why Alice So CrAzY, but there actually has to be a reason.
You can actually pick some locks with just a nail. But those are the shittiest locks in history that anything could poke the lock open. I thankfully had one on my room, kept locking myself out and going "well time to pull out a nail/clothes hanger/whatever".

He wasn't wrong. This show is truly, truly awful. But watching it has also been some of the most fun I've genuinely ever had.
I've said many times, anyone can write well, but it takes truly talented writers to write this badly well. Batwhaman has talented writers.
By the second season, though, it stopped being funny and just became boring.
I'm convinced the writers, producers, and/or most everyone involved with the show just hated working on it to the point of sabotage. The sheer frequency and specificness of some of these maddening decisions could only be accomplished through sheer spite
Do not equate to spite what could easily be explained by incompetence.

@@krissuyx now we have rags’s’’ new weakness, “balls above wang.”
I absolutely love that Batwoman, upholder of justice, get's pepper-sprayed.
Lol
Which one, the white one or the black one?
Being legit exhausted, out of time and visibly unable to get herself out of sub-zero water..?
Determination and recalling some childhood trauma will nullify that tiny hurdle, however, a young woman using a spray she took ahold of, front and center..?
Naaah, Kate ain't got nothing to detect/prevent/mitigate that kind of situational hazard, not while literally facing the chick and holding onto her.
😝 Lol!
Just a heads up.
Kate was training to become a Crow and would absolutely have had to kill someone at some point, especially working in Gotham City.
They NEVER provided any reason she'd be so against killing people in general. Like don't just kill every single criminal you come across, but she's EXTREMELY against killing anyone ever and they didn't give any reason for it. Batman has a reason for it, some pretty damn good ones too, and he passes this rule onto his partners, but Kate didn't get that. You know cause she just STOLE the bat suit instead of earning the mantle like everyone else.
So, why would she care? If taking the criminal down for good is the best option at the moment, why wouldn't she just do that? She was like the best marksman by a thousand miles, did she think she'd NEVER have to shoot someone?
Also batman logically at times kills someone
Because Kate is the bestest special snowflake. Reality doesn't apply to her.
@@RanMouri82
Science 🙏🏾 only 🙏🏾 restrains 🙏🏾 men 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
It's even worse because the comics have specifically highlighted the fact that because Kate has military training and was raised around soldiers, her policy on killing isn't as absolute as Bruce's. She even uses guns at various points throughout her career.
Well, I don't think there needs to be a super strong reason. She wants to be a crime fighter, not a mass murderer... makes sense to me.
However where this all falls apart *_instantly_* and *_hilariously_* is when Kate allows crazy mass murderers to run free and kill hundreds of people.
Past episode 2 or so, every death caused by Alice is on Kate for not putting her behind bars. Why doesn't Kate put people behind bars? Something about the cops being fascist transphobes or something I guess.
Sometimes, she just casually tortures criminals or beats them into a bloody pulp and then just allows them to go their merry ways.
Keep in mind, this is after she announced she'd be better than Batman. It's a farce and whoever wrote this show is a legit sociopath, that treats people like brainless robots.
"She's married...to a man."
"Oh, can you imagine in 2019!"
LOL
HOW COULD YOU LEAVE OUT THE PART WHERE THEY SAY SHE LOOKS LIKE HANDSOME SQUIDWARD!?!?
Holy crap, that's a thing?! ROFL, too perfect.
:')
She actually does and it's hilarious
The worst part is they have this chick named alice hint at this background bigger bad leading us to the LOGICAL conclusion of it being MAD HATTER instead they use… hush.
And the show itself led us into the idea of it being about Safiyah which honestly just feels like a talia/nyssa knock-off "al ghul" character but an island of women instead, which turned out to be massively boring. Black Mask was the only good villain even if the writing isn't good the performance was as good as it ever get in season 2 in that sense. But S1 was so much funner to watch, S2 is just BLM bs.

Why would a trained soldier have an issue with taking the life of a dangerous villain? What would she have done in the army?

Eh? :p
I still come back and rewatch the efap coverage of batwoman. Its one of my earliest experiences with efap, and one of the most delightful ones as well.
Fun fact I learned: the actor who plays Alice also played Black Canary in Birds of Prey…the 2002 TV series.
Not the movie.
Another thing I learned: even though Alice is canonically both Batwoman’s sister and a villain in the comics, they really half-assed her character here. In the comics, Alice always *dresses* like some fantastical Alice in Wonderland character, and apparently *only* speaks in Alice in Wonderland quotes. Also, It seems like the first thing the Kanes tried to do in the comics after learning that Alice was Beth was to *get her psychiatric help*
As opposed to just letting her run around killing people cuz "muh family"? Nice.
There's a few clips of her as Black Canary in his video.
That sounds even more lame
"Nah, that's just lame. Let's just half-ass CW Alice and make her just a quirky crazy girl and have Kate let her good everytime because she's 'family'.

As a woman, I do not claim her.
Let's be honest nobody does.
Also, the batsuit in Ep. 1 was clearly already molded for a woman's breasts.

She’s gender-fluid so nobody gets her.

I just noticed at around 3:00 when batwoman flies, the shitty effect is in the foreground of the tree, which is weird because she's obviously meant to be further away than the tree.

I'm here because Batwoman was cancelled. Only sadness I have is that the EFAP coverage for this series will be over.
The police shooting the car, causing the explosion and blasting Kate and Alice apart is one of the best things I've seen.
That opening for Batwoman Season 2 Episode 1 reaction was one of the hypest moments I've seen from anything in a while. I had no idea they were bring on J, Drinker or Az so seeing them there as it slowly panned out was AWESOME.
After that hype Season 1 finale where a big black guy in a red jumpsuit with 2 machetes near enough defeats Batwoman AND a SWAT team.
The scene after Alice was captured and was put in the interrogation room proves that different writers are doing different scenes in the same episode and then they edit them together without "proofing" them. Kate Kane is surprised that Alice is in a holding cell. She's been in a holding cell for 8 hours. She has blonde hair. The other one has brown hair. Even if the Crows let Alice go, the first thing she did was go dye her hair? Mauler is right that acting hurts your soul, but the writing annihilates it.

I'm not sure it's the same exact track, but you can definitely hear the "Batwoman EFAP Theme" briefly at right about 1:40. But, I think it's a coincidence. The "Theme" is just the ascending first 4 notes of a minor scale, it's an incredibly simple bit of music to write and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been done before by other composers. Sea of Thieves did it better though, they didn't repeat it on a loop like Batwoman does
@@Dragenthor Those cords sent shivers down my spine when watching E3 (albeit drunk). I could tell it was edited, but maybe it is a different song after another thorough listening. The fact that some other random shmuck used those same 4 cords just goes to show how amazingly simple Batwoman's "theme" is.

@@finalfantasy50 did you do it?
Mauler is such a silly goose in the watch parties, I love it 😂
One thing no one said is how this show feels so antiquated for 2018,its a mix of various Batman stories but made in the most limited way
This show fails to realize that yeah, trained women can overpower men but it's not just "I punch him HARDER", there's technique to it. You don't just charge at a deer with a knife, you lure it into a trap with a blind and a gun.
Exactly, a well trained woman can hold her own against a man but only if she does it tactically she can never match up physically.
And, that would ACTUALLY empower a woman. Seeing a female character overcome her physical shortcomings with tactics and smart play, would have the audience cheer for her efforts and success.
Often times acknowledging the character’s natural or nurtured flaws and trying to grow to success is better than pretending flaws never exist.
Those Batwoman EFAPs were the best. I wish the show continued so the efaps can continue.
12:31 the moment when Fringy becomes posessed
The Gojira song over the montage of evil grandma really caught me off guard
I love how they just pulled out a plot sniper for a while then kill him immediately when he’s outlived his use
You can have characters be gay, you can show people how they are gay, you can give people a glimpse into what it's like being gay.
The problem arises when you make it every episode's mandate, and the entire root personality of all characters in the show.
Now you understand gamers frustration for the past half decade except we are painted as the bad guys everytime.
@@erueka6 Believe me, I know.
Very thoughtful comment! 👏👏👏
It isn't equality if it's just bad and lazy writing!

It's like the writers of the show think that if someone isn't gay it automatically means they hate gay people.
They would have gotten back 10 points if that bat-rack had some shark repellent.
Edit: Hold on! Back up! She went to a shooting contest hungover from tequila shots the night prior, and still managed to beat everyone?

You know what makes it worse??
When shooting your breathing can effect your aim not to mention a load of other sh*t like heart rate or the state of your muscles AND WHEN YOUR DRUNK YOU CAN'T F*CKING CONTROL ANY OF THOSE IF YOU TRY AND SHOOT A GUN WHILE DRUNK YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF FROM THE RECOIL
The writers of this show have set common sense and logic on fire to make her perfect
And what I said isn't some unknown knowledge anyone with one functioning brain cell will tell you shooting a gun while drunk is a bad F*CKING idea
Do these writers even exist in the same universe as us ??
The writers try selling it like "She is so amazing she beat everyone else while hungover drunk" while I see it more as "she was so irresponsible she got horribly drunk the day before a sharp-shooting competition and could have killed someone".
2:08:05 I love the slight evidence that all those quips weren't fueled by bias
My favorite thing in the entire show is when the tiny asian girl with no fighting experience is the only person able to beat up the main villain.
So much stuff I've already forgotten. Thank for this wonderful recap
This show has 84% on Rotten Tomatoes btw.
Eighty.
Four.
Percent.
And Joker only got 68%
Never use RT
Highly symbolic number
If you absolutely must use RT, go for audience score. It's a better scale of what the general human thinks of a movie/show, rather than robotic and technical critic reviews.
Also, critics could very well be paid off behind the scenes to affect the score.
And Joaquin Phoenix won an Oscar. RT is dumb. (So are award shows, but Ruby Rose hasn't won shit)
Just remember that the people who reviewed joker are different to the people who reviewed batwoman. The only people who decided to watch a CW show in the first place already have low standards while a large variety of people watched Joker since it was a mainstream movie.

I love that even the supercut of this is almost 4 hours long.
"What'd you bring me?" is SO iconic now it's insane!!
"In the first age, long before the creation of the great thinkers, there was simply three good friends bonding over picking apart other people's videos, and critiquing them. The first one they critiqued, as many may not know of today, was the Forbidden One. During these seemingly forgotten times, a wolf long gone uttered this phrase, reciting it from a now holy scripture kept within the sacred Vaults of Objectivety. To be kept safe during the Objectivety vs Subjectivety War and when the Culture War finally descended upon EFAP. The scripture was once recited as often as the simple greeting "hi Rags" yet it is not so well known today.
So, in memorial, to all those that find this message, and gaze at it with your eyes, as though it were well constructed hit box, I utter a greeting to you my fellow scholars of the Old Massive Testament of Objectivety. Before you take a bite out of a pizza you may or may not be consuming at this very moment of time, I say to you...
Hello all my N-words."

“How many jackets is she wearing?!” -underrated comment
2:47:51 i thought that was the actual soundbite at first, i didn’t even realize it was rags until i went back and listened again
So, potentially stupid question: what was Ned Flanders's motivation? Like, why did he kidnap Alice and treat her like shit, break her spirit and all that? Why did he treat Mouse the way he did? Just... why did he do any of this?
From what I gathered from JLongbone's reactions, he kept Mouse locked away to 'protect him' in a twisted sense, and kidnapped Alice so he'd have a friend.
Now abusing her, cutting off her mom's head and sticking it in the fridge, I can't answer that.
Well the head was for the Queen of Hearts or whatever, but the abuse I really dont know.
Why kidnap Beth: easy to cover up, she's presumed dead. He wanted to break her down to manipulate/reinforce her new identity as "Alice".
He was disgusted with Mouse. Flanders is a narcissist, Mouse was a reminder of Flander's limitations. Flander's is the best cosmetic surgeon in Gotham and cant "fix" his own son.
Finding Beth & Kate's Mother's decapitated head was a "bonus". The Red Queen (psychopath, no character developement), knowing her son was a gifted surgeon wanted Mrs Kane's face.
That all still sounds really stupid. Am I allowed to think that's stupid? 'Cause that still sounds stupid.
Wait, I just realized: that explains how he was able to kidnap Beth but not why. Like, why take her if he just wanted the mother's face? What, did he want her to give Mouse a companion? Did he want to mold her into his, like, ideal child after "failing" with Mouse? I get that they probably just put this in so that the writers can explain why Alice So CrAzY, but there actually has to be a reason.
15:38. And thus, a legend was born!!!
Kate and Alice's relationship is unironically that Simpsons clip where Homer see's Fat-Tony bludgeoning the mayor with a baseball bat.
