I’m a fan Matt, but I disagree about the first Wonder Woman movie. Chris Pine is a terrific actor and the lesson of that movie is actually really interesting and compelling. Wonder Woman was also not man hating in that movie. She didn’t need to knock men around her down in order for her to be strong.
yea Wonder Woman was actually not bad and not in your face man hating girl power nonsense ... it was not annoying ... unlike Captain Marvel which was brutal
Meanwhile, a gang of criminals is robbing a bank when a costumed figure appears. Criminal No1: "Oh no, it's Woke Woman." Criminal No2: "Didn't he used to be Woke Man?" Woke Woman: "How dare you misgender me (screams). You're part of the patriarchy, white nationalist, far-right. I'm going to cancel you (screams some more)."
I love how the physical tendencies of masculinity are deemed as toxic but to show that their female characters are strong and independent, they resort to extreme violence and physicality against males
Whenever women deem themselves as "better than men" and think they are all brave goddesses, they usually adopt actual toxic masculinity and shun femininity as weakness. Ironic. They don't actually hate masculinity, they envy it. But they want everything to be twisted. Why must men be masculine when we can have masculine women and feminine men instead? They want everything to be perverse and degenerative
That’s not always the case. I agree that a lot of female characters are masculated, but there still are lots of characters that embrace femininity like catwoman with her sexual nature or Wonder Woman and black widow with those scenes they have with children where they really display motherly qualities by being so great with kids.
Funny how it's always perfectly acceptable to show women characters beating on men yet you never see movies where male superheroes beat on women under the same circumstances. It's always a one-way street where males are incessantly portrayed as abusive bad guys who somehow deserve a beating, yet women are NEVER portrayed the same way. Convenient isn't it?
@@ComputerLearning0 *Deadpool after beating up a girl* "This is confusing.. is it sexist to hit you.. is it more sexist to not hit you?! I mean, the line gets real blurry.." *proceeds to shoot both girls* ..God do I love Deadpool
I agree. Black Widow is actually one of my favs. I do they woulda gave her some powers like they did Captain America as she was kidnapped and trained to be an assassin with the other girls. It would make her character more believable.
I love Daily Wire, but as a Marvel nerd and a woman, I can't help but feel that not only does this only target female superheros, he's only judging their powers, not their back stories.
I remember a friend asking me to go see captain marvel and after seeing it I came to the conclusion that these people just want a slice of the "toxic masculinity" cake. When she steals the dudes motorcycle because he asked for a smile, I went, "ah it's this kind of movie".
I skipped it and watched Shazam instead. Shazam was the original captain marvel until (for copyright reasons) they had to change his name and then for stupid lesbian reasons they turned him into a girl.
but superman who has very similar powers is ok? how does that make sense? it just feels like you guy hate strong women that’s all lol the only difference between both of them is that doesn’t heal and shoots lasers from his eyes instead of his hands
@@MyHugoboss12 At least Superman has an actual weakness which is kryptonite meaning he's not all mighty compared to Captain Marvel who is a Mary Sue. And because I dislike a female character doesn't mean I hate strong females lol. Captain Marvel is just boring to me.
Nah, I gotta disagree. Wonder Woman is a fantastic superhero. I feel like there are also several male superheroes that are significantly worse than the heroes mentioned here... I feel like this video was made just to capitalise on hate towards batwoman and captain marvel (two characters I do actually dislike). This video was an unfortunate miss by Matt Walsh.
At the *very* least, Matt’s video title should be changed. He should title it something along the lines of “annoyingly feminist superheroes “ or something like that. Not a blanketed “5 WORST superheroes” because that’s just making him seem like he hates women being superheroes and that’s all it boils down to. There are lots of “worse superheroes” than the ones he listed. Ugh.
@@asdjklalsfn I saw it more as a satire movie/show review in that the top 3 were legit picks. 12:10 Black widow isn't on my top 5, but certainly wonder woman doesn't belong on this list. I wouldn't argue the 4. So he rounded out the last one with another female movie. I don't even know if she hulk is out yet, but it looks like the quality of the 2016 ghostbusters and possibly even worse than the upcoming lord or the rings amazon show
@@asdjklalsfn If we're going top 5 recent shows/movies I've seen mine would be (haven't seen Batgirl yet but..come on.) 1. Batman vs superman 2. The falcon/winter soldier show (unpopular opinion, fight me) 3. captain marvel 4. Iron man 3 5. Thor Ragnarok
I mean, Black Widow is by far the best out of all these, it doesn't feel quite right to ignore her actual character arc and blend her with these other far less impressive characters.
@subemelaradio♫ No, a character lacking superpowers does NOT make them "boring". In that case Captain Marvel shouldn't have been as boring as she was. A character is only boring depending on whether the character is well-written or not.
It depends on which Robin is sent. If it’s Damian then you’re screwed, only because he’d probably kill you himself , or he’d just let you die because you were weak enough to put yourself in a mostly avoidable situation to begin with.
I totaly agree with you except for Black Widow. She is an agent not a hero (Thats why she has no powers obviously and rhe non existing fighting realism is not feminist propaganda, its Marvel).
I hate when Marvel makes female characters overpowered to "support women" Why can't we just have a badass female character who's cool because she's badass, not a female.
@@Qertii she’s not REALLY overpowered honestly. If you pay attention to most of the movies she’s in. She struggles with….ok..now that I think about it. Ok nvm.
I think the point he was making was that the effect was just as crappy as the 70s version. In fact the new She-Hulk is way worse because it's obviously CGI rather than a real person in the role
When you watch the first two Terminator films, and the first two Alien films, Sarah Connor and Ellen Ripley, are totally believable in their roles. They have a strong story arc, and are played by two brilliant actresses, that make you believe everything you see on screen. These modern “heroines” are poorly conceived, badly acted, and totally unbelievable.
One the best recent female heroes is Tomb Raider starring Alicia Vikander. She is a strong, tenacious and flawed woman. She works to overcome her flaws through the movie and doesn’t need to make feminist statements in the process.
Adult conservative geek here, Black Widow originally had a Russian version of the super soldier serum, same thing with Nick Fury (white guy) in the comics an altered version that gave him long life and recuperative powers.
Samuel Jackson does such a fine job at playing Nick Fury, though. Fine job. Did not know that Black Widow originally had super soldier serum. Interesting. Black Widow is the only one on this list which I paid money--with my 12 year old daughter. We enjoyed it. She knows it bothers me when little women beat up big guys. She just rolls her eyes at me! but, I enjoy the choreography of their fights. Not believable, but well-done. btw--I knew the Incredible Hulk's stunt double when he as a preteen & teen. I was friends of his parents.
@@kathyp1563 My beloved wife had a bucket list moment when, dressed as her beloved Natasha at a Baltimore Comicon in the early 00s, had George Perez as if HE could get HIS picture taken with HER, because he's the GOAT with fans. It was the 90s when Tasha got the super solder implied in her story, as depending on whom is telling it, she was born in 1928 or a bit later where she was rescued as a girl by Logan in WWII. I know of multiple references in comics and novels, just can't recall which ones.
Matt claims not to be a superhero expert, but he knows Wonder Woman is not immune to bullets, something that the creator of the Injustice tie-in comic did not know. He also understands the problem with multiverses, namely the lack of stakes. As someone who is a major superhero fan, I approve of this video.
I don’t, if it wasn’t for the fact that he acts like he is better then people for not being a fan, Marvel and Dc wouldn’t be Running themselves into the ground. If people on our side actually cared the company’s would not be in trouble.🤦♂️
@@drakZes She's vulnerable to slashing and piercing but has high resistance to crushing. That's why the original Cheetah was still a threat, even though she was just a chick with a knife.
Half his claims don’t make sense because you have to remember that these are fictional characters at the end of the day so who cares, plus half the characters he brings up can’t be that bad when their spin off films made a decent amount of money 😂
I hate captain marvel's depiction in the MCU I dislike batwoman but to say that having no powers is boring and saying that women can't defeat men is just flat out wrong. Also I am republican and yes I get the leftist agenda but why is all the superheros on this list females??? How about the poor adaptation of moon knight or how they made Thor a joke. Also wonder women is bullet proof and has super speed not as much as flash or even superman but she still has it. Natasha was turned into a Russian assassin and he thinks she wasn't trained to take down multiple people??? She hulk yeah her CGI doesn't look great but the character at its core outside of mcu is good.
@@alispeed5095 you have a point there but still doesn't mean the general characters are bad. For example Natasha. She was a great character until her own movie. If you forget about her movie she is still a great character
As a woman, I actually thought the same things. I always look at these women fighting, and in most cases, the men are badly hurt and wounded, while the women look like battle goddesses that are impenetrable and barely scathed. And you are right, a lot of the stuff in the movies DO NOT make sense. However, I still like Wonder Woman (just the first movie, the second one was dumb) and Black Widow. The idea of brave, kick-butt women who are experts in martial arts and fighting is still pretty cool. If they had made it slightly more realistic (with less wokeness) I think the movies would’ve been better.
i grew up watching martial arts movies. cynthia rothrock is in my top 5 favorite cinema martial artist and she is hands down the best woman martial artist in movie cinema. this is my favorite fight scene she is in.ua-cam.com/video/pSgNUbd4lD4/v-deo.html
I feel as though the fight with Black Widow in the first movie is quite realistic. We have to remember that she is very well trained in her craft and is quick witted while her opponent sees her as easy bait. If someone like her can get others to underestimate her, it’s a very easy win and take down. Women can be much more agile and smart in their fighting while men are more strong and fist for a fist. Both get you to a win using different strengths and abilities.
Hello! :) As a geek first and foremost, yeah, this got my attention... I'll only disagree with you primarily in that it isn't those five heroes who are lame, *it's the creative forces who write and handle those characters.* It's all about how something is executed, and once upon a time superheroes were usually written and drawn well in the comics. (Current Year Marvel and DC are anything BUT good these days! Believe me, if you think these movies and TV shows are bad, just pick up a comic where literally nothing happens except for a bunch of nonsense talking with all kinds of signalling and politics. In other words, not even kids would want to read them.) In the case of most of the ladies on your countdown, I'm a fan of all of them except Batwoman; I never got the chance to read any of her books. I definitely never saw her stupid show that got cancelled -- I know I missed nothing. Wonder Woman, Black Widow, She-Hulk and Captain Marvel were honestly written and drawn by people who cared and just wanted to give readers a fun romp of an adventure. I've had *years* of reading the adventures of a lot of these heroes from back in the day. Believe me, Widow herself in the comics was much more than an ordinary woman, but writers were still intelligent enough to show that even she would have serious trouble with really strong men, especially super-powered villains! Captain Marvel may be the saddest case...back when she was created, Carol Danvers was meant to be a feminist archetype, but this was back in the 1970's when feminism was at full swing. Still, Carol grew and evolved thanks to many great writers and editors to become more than an 'I am woman' kind of hero. She was human in spite of her powers, she failed at times, and she was relatable. :) And then not long ago, Marvel retconned her in the books into the *neo-feminist* 'girl power' Captain Marvel you can't stand. Trust me, anyone who loves the original Carol Danvers doesn't like her much, either. I'd almost argue that CM should be number one, but CW Batwoman earned that place just for saying that Batman's suit would be perfection "when it fits a woman". That's how stupid Current Year storytellers have gotten!
see all of them are clearly feminist though, down to their body language. im not saying you can't like the movies, I've seen all of them myself BUT it's all about women empowerment. actually Scarlett Johanson sued Disney because she didn't get paid enough for HER movie.
So basically all female superheroes. Hmm not biased at all. Not - Ant man, flash, all eternals, hawkeye, drax from gaurdians of galaxy. Just the women ..... hmm
Something else I noticed is how a lot of the time if a female "superhero" battles a male character there tends to be some kind of implication that a woman is the one beating a man up, yet this is never implied when male superheroes battle female characters. Even if it's just a regular man battling a woman they never make a point of telling the audience that a man is the one beating down a woman but when it's the other way around it's usually used to further degrade male characters in a way that's never reciprocated.
I agree to a point. However, I'll refer you to the first "Kick-Ass" movie. In that one, there's an eight year old girl getting absolutely beat down by an adult male. It's a dark comedy, but I played it for my parents and my mother couldn't believe that particular scene made it into the movie. And she's right...it's tough. But it's also more grounded than what Marvel is doing.
That was covered in Deadpool in the scene where he feigns being conflicted about beating or not beating a woman and then just shoots her in the head anyway.
What you just said is the term called "Fridging" and comic books have done that to many female love interests/superheroes for multiple decades. The example of "fridging" is when a woman superhero/love interest is either: 1. Depowered 2. KILLED 3. R*ped and/or sexually assaulted OR 4. ALL OF THE ABOVE IN ORDER TO ADVANCE A MALE SUPERHERO'S HISTORY AND/OR STORY PLOTLINE.
MCU black widow isn't quite accurate. As a hero originally, shewas given a knockoff super soldier serum like captain america. Ergo, she is beyond normal human levels on most aspects. The MCU just....skipped that part
I usually don't tune in just to hear Matt dunk on people's non-political interests - but my gosh the dry sarcasm mixed with the legendary editing makes this video perfect.
@@JUANxxTNAFAN He said in the video: "it's been nearly twenty-four years since I was twelve". And according to the internet, he was born in 1986, so yeah, he is only 36
Matt, I honestly think that you simply don’t enjoy movies. There is a lot to pick apart in fantastical stories, no doubt about that. But when you just dislike absolutely everything about a movie, and you employ zero suspension of disbelief, and in fact DON’T EVEN LOOK AT THE SCREEN DURING HALF OF THE CLIPS YOU SHOW, that proves that you just enjoy being contrary.
As a screenwriter who has created some incredible female comic characters that deserve to be seen, this video is just amazing 😂 thank you for being logic to this. I always thought all the female characters they focus on are so lame and way over exaggerated
I think 'Into the Spider-verse' used the multiverse story concept well. No one could stay in another universe for a extended length of time because they would deteriorate on an atomic level. Not to mention, the machine that bridged these worlds had to be destroyed because its continuous use was destroying the city.
Into the spider-verse was absolutely amazing. Probably the only superhero related media I’ve enjoyed in the last few years (besides Hit Monkey which was also good).
@@johnellis7338 It's a show on hulu that's based off a marvel property. The show is basically about a hitman who is also a monkey (a real monkey not a human monkey hybrid).
I remember a comic drawn in the old 40's style with Wonder Woman and Superman. As a bunch of guys were shooting at them Superman is letting the bullets bounce off his chest while WW is blocking with her bracelets. Supes asks her why she does this even though she is impervious. She lowers her guard and all the bullets bounce off her breasts causing them to jiggle as the criminals start giggling.
@@tranviethuy5224 ok. I completely understand and agree with that. But perhaps the video title could have been revised to say something along those lines instead of just a blanketed “5 worst superheroes”
@@tranviethuy5224 I am glad someone else on here thought it odd that out of all the superhero movies out there including stuff like Thor the dark world and many other it "happened" to be 5 movies where women are playing the lead. The stars do need to align magically for that to happen 😂. Hilarious this guy!
@@sameer0757 I wish that there would be superhero movies as good as the batman trilogy in the near future, most superhero movies nowadays are kinda boring and not very memorable
She is impervious to bullets. She's also able to move faster than bullets so she can deflect them, aka cinematic bullshit. She's a demigod with Zeus's power. She can summon the forces of nature to kill every single person on that battlefield instantly, she just doesn't know it at the time. For context, she's far beyond superman but she has no idea in this scene that she is that powerful. She can not only jump enormous distances, she can actually fly. She was raised with the Amazonians and treated as human. Until her demigod powers revealed themselves during training exercises and caused her to injure other people, she didn't know she was different. Nobody ever told her what she was. She was never trained to use her powers, so she discovers them as the movie progresses. The second movie is fucking terrible though. This one is actually good.
I'm guessing Matt put these clips together ahead of time for his fans that are going through "Walsh Withdrawal" while he's on va-ca with his family. See ya next week, Walsh! 😊
Personally I actually like Black Widow in the MCU, but that’s just me, someone who isn’t all powerful but can still hold her own. My least favorite is Captain Marvel, I hate how she is so overpowered when she’s not even special; that I believe literally anyone can beat her - and I hate the character
@@allyskinny Have to ask, wasn't the original Captain Marvel quite like her in the comics? Quite a bitch that did honorable and heroic things because they made her feel good?
@@projekt2745 I'm not a comic person so I have no idea. But my issue is like in end game when she talks about being apparently too busy to stop half of all living things in the universe from being vaporized because of another threat even though she is ridiculously powerful. It just doesn't make sense to me.
I love the logic behind "I don't like superheros, therefore I am the best judge". I don't like sports, I don't even know the rules of baseball, therefore I should be the best referee in the world.
I see your point. On the flipside, a person who doesn't know the back story of comic book superheroes can, if they're open minded, judge superhero movies on the merits and give a perspective to an average moviegoer that wouldn't be biased by preconceived notions that comic book fans have.
Fun fact the creator of wander woman was really into BDSM. Hints all the ropes and shackles. If you look at the original series. She ended up tied up, a lot.
Yup, he said he wanted to create a great female character to inspire young girls, but what got into print was, to put it mildly, one of his personal preledictions. That said, the BDSM is all over 1950s comics and one reason the Comics Code was created.
@@eeveeofalltrades4780 She 100% was meant to be an icon. Her creator felt that what was holding otherwise superior women back was the fact they had few to no role models in contemporary fiction to inspire them to embrace their superiority. So, he created Wonder Woman as an idealized woman, well-rounded in personality, powerful but compassionate. How often people forget that Wondy's stated mission is to "temper man's aggression and faults." Even the Injustice video game worked that one in when she was confronting her alternate universe brethren. The bondage was at best incidental. It didn't detract from Wondy's character or mythos.
"Wonderwoman" really? One of the main characters that helped pave the way for the future of comic books since 1933? He could have said the female version of Thor instead.
i dont really see what is so bad with superheroes its just entertainment. i mean all your points were about how it looks so unbelievable but isnt that way better since no1 will and should take anything serious. i think the real problem is romantic movies since it makes women think unrealisticly about men.
Or The Justice League of Antartica (where they send the SERIOUS loser Super Heroes). (Yes, that's an actual comic.) Then there's Matter Eating Lad (he can eat anything) Infectious Girl, Stone Boy. The Inferior Five.
You should learn about the characters before hand because Black widow Is not a superhero she's a formal Russian spy and she was train to be one when she was a toddler so it's a bit unfair to say she's the worst
I haven't laughed this hard in so long. I hate superhero movies so much! No stakes, no character development, no consistency, terrible stories, terrible acting, over saturated garbage.
The issue with Black Widow is they omited that she has a variation of captain america serum. That's why she is able to do what she does in the comic books
I enjoyed Black Widow, her whole premise is that she is a spy first and soldier second. She works in the shadows mostly using guile and deception. True they also omitted the whole Russian programme thingy.
@@studkickass513 I am talking about the serum part. They portrayed her as all natural tortured soul who climbed to the top through resilience. I enjoyed Black Widow in all the movies.
@@mthunziphakathi4215 the reason she was given the serum was that: she is to good lets keep her that way. That's way when she dies the russian clone her time after time
You should have added the word "Movie" to the title. Wonder Woman has been around since 1941. Black Widow has been around since 1964. She-Hulk has been around since 1980. Captain Marvel has been around since 1968, was a man in the beginning. Batwoman has been around since 1956. All these characters have a long successful back story, however the movies have hijacked the names to push a woke agenda.
no bodies hijacking them for a" woke agenda" their hijacking them because they make money thats how capitalism works you sell something people like, thats about it. someone made something for a comic decades ago, some one else sells it because they see a market to sell something else related. those comics don't sell because they became what dumb fucks call "Woke" they don't sell because most comics not called batman haven't sold well since the spectator boom in the 1990's you can look all this shit up, as a comics fan its embrassing that i have to spell this out to you
This just feels like a woman hating clip. I mean, I am a huge Marvel fan, and I agree that some of the characters named our lame, but they are all women. I don’t particularly like female superhero’s, but come on, Hawkeye also has no powers and seems invincible, Tony Stark only has a robot costume, but somehow survives the brutal beatings to his very normal human body. I don’t know how this list was compromised, but listening to your arguments for each of these makes no sense compared to the “superhero world”. BTW Black Widow is a bada$$. She always seems to be the side kick for a man, but still can stand on her on strengths when she needs to.
Why would Diana (Wonder Woman) wear trench warfare clothing?? She is NOT a soldier from WW1. She is a DEMIGOD based on Greek mythology. She is wearing armor appropriate to classic Greek culture of that time period. It is like asking why a NASA astronaut who time-travelled to the middle ages - why isn't the astronaut wearing medieval serf clothing? Maybe because he is NOT a serf??
I watch your videos because I can mostly respect what you say, but this feels ad though it's just a problem with female heroes because your reasons should have had a lot more heroes falling into the categories
He has a strict agenda and sometimes is agenda is making sense and sometimes is agenda is crap (like this time). Never fully trust someone just because he sometimes says something good.
bro never heard of batman beating everyone including Superman, hawkeye destroying alien ships the size of a city with an arrow, iron man's super strength though he is just in a suit, superman being as strong as the fight needs him to be, hulk being as dtrong as the moment needs him to be.... i can criticize all heroes because supposedly they are meant to make sense! female superheroes are just like male heroes. it's just the wokezim that is ruining them. quit the hate for the sake of it
These characters actually used to be good but have degraded into basically nothing but a few ashes. Batman has no powers but he has a drive and a ton of gadgets and many martial art skills with grounded villains that reflect Bruce’s skills. That’s how you do it. Not these characters.
Batman has become a shit parody of all the things that made the character cool. Batman with planning is the dumbest fan boy bullshit in comic history. Batman hasn't been cool since Bruce Timm was working his magic
Black Widow has that too. The problem here is how they portray her in movies. But as a character, as a superhero, she isn't even near the top 5 of the worst.
@@necrom4454 Neither is Wonder Woman... She Hulk is underrated (due to the fact that not only can she keep her personality while in Hulk form, but can break the fourth wall even more effortlessly than Deadpool), but for Captain Marvel/Ms. Marvel and Batwoman, those spots were well deserved, in my opinion.
Yes, and I also think his complaints about her costume are exactly what Woke critics say -- _"REEE, THAT'S NOT REALISTIC!"_ Of course not, it's a superhero universe. 🤷🏾♀️
This is really a ranking of the 5 worst superheroes in the movies and tv shows. I know he said that he is not an expert in comics, but that(In my opinion) makes this not an "Objective reality" as he says. Clearly the worst superhero is "Arm Fall Off Boy" his power is exactly what it says in his name. He can take his arms off. That's it. (Please note this is all in good fun, and I don't really care who you think the worst superheroes are)
If the hulk chick could pick him up and carry him to the bedroom she would have no respect for him and he would feel emasculated. Those would be natural feelings.
Im currently transitioning into a matt walsh, but if you ask my what a Matt Walsh is, I will only give a circular definition, and say "anyone who identifies as a matt walsh"
There is a DC superhero called Dog Welder that traps dogs, cuts them up too weld dog faces on criminals, just putting my two cents I think Dog Welder is the worst superhero.👨🏭🐕
Matt, we agree on a lot, but you’re 100% calling out Wonder Woman without any real understanding of her history and background. Yeah, she has some dated aspects, but she is absolutely fast enough to block bullets because she’s actually strong enough to hold her own against Superman. It’s called magic.
Yeah this video wasn’t 100% accurate. I usually agree with what he says but like it’s fiction and you can’t nit pick a fictional movie. Plus I wonder what superhero shows/ movies he watched to get so technical about a make believe universe.
Matt - Actually, Black Widow is not only a trained assassin, she was dosed with the super-soldier serum [ same one that made Captain America ], so she's at the pinnacle of human physical potential. At least, according to comics lore.
yeah, but it would have helped if that were in the movies, specially from the studios standpoint in selling the character and specially the black widow movie or franchise.
@@austinfontes3906 in Iron Man 2 she makes her debut but undercover so you're not really supposed to actually know she is a 'super hero'. But in Avengers and Age of Ultron we progressively learn more about her and her past. Especially in Ultron and in her stand alone movie years later.
@@uncoverthetruth8497 I’m not sure if I agree with that, but I liked Michelle Pfeiffer’s Catwoman who was more of a villain, so maybe they should’ve modeled the new iterations more after hers. 🤷♀️
@@epicwriter96 I think you are missing my point. Ann Hathaway playing that role was a mistake. Cat woman is supposed to be a sexy tough badass. Well Ann has no curves , doesn't have a sexy voice and is a goodie too shoes she messed the role completely. Hell Sofia vergaria even her age would have done a better job IDK what that director was thinking. It's rather insulting as a woman the idea they she was suitable for the that role. Keep in mind she was suppose to be so sexy sneaky and tough. The same way Ben Aflack being Batman was a mistake he's lame as fuck. Yet he's suppose to the dark night and badass handsome playboy Bruce Wayne come on. And yes that would have made more sense if they had her play the role like michelle pfeiffer.
A lot of fantasy and fiction doesn’t translate well from one form of media to another, as I’m sure you’re aware. This is especially true when those presenting the stories don’t know what they’re dealing with or use stories as vehicles for their own political or social voice; the latter is nothing new, just more blatant and obvious these days. Matt identifies four of the most problematic cinematic versions of super-heroines. Black Widow is the odd one out as, in her early MCU Avengers appearances, she was true to her super-soldier/KGB origin.
As a massive comic collector and buff. Gotta say all these movies are cringy and just bad. No they do not translate well to the screen medium. The books are 1000x better.
Nah they’re bad, like genuinly bad. Black widow in my opinion had the most potential, but they ruined her too. If they just had made her smarter and more tricky instead of this blunt butt kicking, then it maybe would be good. But you know who genuinly is good? The red-haired woman with the magic in Avengers (i forgot her name sorry). But she GENUINLY can be top level, if they just don’t ruin her in her own movie (like they now did with Black widow)
@@RamManNo1 Yeah, and I feel like disney is purposefully trying to corrupt things. The disney version is like gollum to smeagul. I recently started making a comic and if you have a sec you may enjoy the recemt super hero parody I made.
You should ACTUALLY watch the movies, instead of explaining to us what you saw without context, for example captain marvel is fighting a scrull alien on top of a train, it’s not just some dude, also I gotta agree, batwoman is just to get DC into LGBTQ whatever, so they can pretend to get part of it, so more people watch their shows and movies
@Josh in YOUR and many other people’s opinion, and in MY and many other people’s opinion they did make bad films, but most of them are masterpieces (in the supe genre)
@Josh iron man, the Incredible Hulk, ant man, ant man and the wasp, the avengers, avenger:infinity war avengers : endgame, Thor ragnarock, all spider man with Toby Maguire, all spider man with Tom Holland, doctor strange 1 & 2, guardians of the galaxy, venom and Deadpool 1& 2 are the best I’ve seen from marvel so far, all of them are their masterpieces and my favorites, some of them might be less good than the others, but i really like them, I gotta respect their work ( the new marvel series are real trash, anyone with me?)
Wow.. I was fully convinced that Captain Marvel was the worst.. Thank you for opening my horizons by introducing Batwoman.. Was not aware of this superhero and was much better off for it.. I’m a little biased towards Black Widow though.. So I would replace her with the travesty that Ms Marvel is..
The difference between Black Widow and Bat Woman is that Black Widow is a femme fatale and uses technique, skill, and weapons to overcome her foes, whereas Bat Woman is a copy of Bat Man and is apparently supposed to be hulking, intimidating, and super strong. Anyhow, I'm not a fan of superheroes to begin with, so whatever.
Wonder Woman is a slept on character in terms of portraying her correctly on screen. In the comics she’s pretty close to Superman’s attributes in many ways, she can fly and breathe in space, she sparred Superman while they flew to the Sun and back and it took a really small amount of time, and her equipment is pretty damn good too outside of that god awful invisible plane. But yeah, even with all that she’s kinda lame for dressing up like she’s a background dancer for some 1940’s WW2 theatre performance. I won’t knock her name since she was created in a time when that’s kinda the gimmick of naming heroes (Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Hawkman, Iron Man, so on, it’s literally just a descriptive word with ‘man/boy’ or ‘woman/girl’ after it).
I actually like her costume. I've seen too many hideous Woke edits of beautiful women from games; what's wrong with an unrealistic costume in an unrealistic universe where superheroes even exist? Matt's opinion about WW's costume would fit in perfectly with the Woke crowd screaming whenever a game character is attractive, and wanting the females all to look and dress like Abby in TLOU2. 🤢🤮 I'm a woman, and not lesbian, but I like having attractive men AND women in games and comics. They're just more fun to follow.
I agree with the list except for Wonder Woman. The super strength, like Superman, fighting in several wars and agelessness like Wolverine. Typical superhero 🦸♀️ all the other storylines are trash 😩
@@zxyatiywariii8 Think people generally have an issue with female armor in games... It's not very realistic to have a bra that has somehow better stats than a steel chestplate. Just sayin' give us the sexy armor on both or none *Consistency*
I mean at least in the TV show in the 70's she wasn't a superhero with powers. She was more like their greatest, most capable warrior and had some impressive athletic abilities. The magic lasso and invisible plane were a little weird but I was a kid so it all made sense back then. She could not fly and was decidedly human and needed oxygen.
I like Matt Walsh, but I'm also a big superhero fan, so I obviously need to immediately disregard everything else I've ever heard him say and devote my entire life to cancelling him now. Seriously though, the fact that the worst superheroes all happen to be women isn't down to the fact that they're women. It's down to the fact that their femininity is designed to be the most interesting thing about them, usually to either make a political point or because it's easy. The characters suffer for it.
I think the first 2 characters have done femininity right, at least in previous films. Their most recent films were created in the era of "girls do it better" and "female empowerment" on film
I don’t think it has anything to do with being women, I’m sure it’s about how their poorly written and they make them unrealistically overpowered (more than men who are biologically stronger) for the sake of “wokeness,” and to appeal to the male fantasy of a strong woman who is attractive (some of them)
The fact that they’re *female* is designed to be the most interesting thing about them but generally there is very little femininity. Wonder Woman and the early appearances of Black Widow being the exception
Matt... 🤦♂️ No America Chavez, the latina superheroine who is actually the daughter of two lesbians from the Utopia dimension? So, sure, latina... I guess. You know, the cool, sassy lesbian chick who's all about, "crushing monsters, the partiarchy and large pizzas." She's so awesome there are no versions of her in any of the other dimensions because she's one of a kind. She's got a huge social media following and attends Sotomayor University where instead of saying things like holy sh*t, she spits priceless one-liners like, "holy menstruation." And, best of all she punches star-shaped portals into other dimensions where she can even go back in time and punch Hitler! Truly a role-model for ua all. God... I wish I were joking.
All these woke movie will suffer the same way a Flop movie suffers. Being a long time comic book collector i am obviously more informed about the subject then kids these days. If you want to succed make something that MOST PEOPLE ENJOY. u cant expect these gay or lesbian character to be the main HERO of even 10% of these movies u know why? Because the modern real world has these people's population under not even 5% or 4% or what? All these people are killing the MCU that RDJ paved and made insanly successful with his IM prtrayal. I always loved IronMan then any other Marvel character as well as Batman then any other DC why? Well the reason is incredibly simple. They are human being
I usually agree with Matt Walsh but I have to disagree with his take on Black Widow and Wonder Woman. For some reason Walsh likes to make himself look so uncool.
To be fair, that Black Widow fight in the first Avengers movie was so amazing. Those were the good old days where she was a badass femme fatale and things were just easy.
black widow is one of my favorite movie superheroes based on martial arts alone. ill never get tired of her hurricuranas into armbars. she is one of the best female superheroes, because she doesnt invoke a man vs woman emotional response, but a humanity vs villiany response. captain marvel def radiated a man vs woman emotional response.
I always had the problem with her that Matt has though. She’s 5’3, 110lbs wet, no superpowers, the average dude on the street would rag doll her into oblivion regardless of her training. I’m fine with suspension of disbelief, but it can only go so far.
@@jimsim8736 i never had a problem suspending my disbelief for martial arts. when i was young and reading comics, martial arts were prettyuch treated as a superpower. karate kid would go toe to toe with super boy, and karat kid had no powers. me being obsessed with martial arts and practice them, i got big room for suspension of disbelief and a huge bias towards martial arts.
@@nickfry7839 As a child we can believe anything, but as an adult with life experience you should have a different outlook. If they made a film tomorrow where the karate kid fought a superhero and was competitive people would walk out of the cinema and it would have the worst reviews rightfully so.
@@jimsim8736 and what do you base that take on? batman sells out nonstop and he is just a guy in a batsuit that fights super powered beings. you dont think people would mark out if batman managed to judo flip and defeat a super powered villian? it happens all the time in the comics. this is why we end up with trash like the newest batman movie.
Doesn't it wholly defeat the purpose of "empowerment" if the female characters talk about being women all the time and how amazing it is that they're women 'doing what only the men can do'? I'm a woman and it makes my eyes roll into the back of my head when they shovel this kind of agenda writing into these films. You see right through it, and it personally lifts me right out of the film. How about...just write a character as a character? And actually think about what you're writing? Instead of focusing on her being GIRL. It's so boring. Want to empower young women? Just write a female character as a normal person.
Yesss!!!! I remember after watching the first WonderWoman movie and then hearing put it in the news, I honestly rolled my eyes every time people tried to make it seem as though she was such an ‘empowerment’ to women. They acted as though she was such a great representation for women too. That’s totally BS.
Honestly, why should the characters be any different than all of the real-life people that constantly do the exact same thing? Shout about their bravery and the barriers they are smashing, casting about for praise.
Smart woman you are. The superhero women are only representing the concept of "Turning women into men" . I do not get turned on by them because I feel like am watching .......men..
Black widow's character is one of the sanest superhero character I have seen and there is a lot you can learn from the character. Also, Matt actually think cos Scarlett is 5 foot 3 and weighs 90 pounds she couldn't do all that. Well, she couldn't but the character could. Cos the character is Black widow, not Scarlett. And if you follow the Black widow character, it makes sense, what she's been through and all. Talking about superheroes we all know that it's make-believe, they're not real. Having that in mind, Black widow is still one of the best superhero characters in the Marvel universe
I didn’t make it through wonder woman from the beginning of the movie when they had competitions with her as a little girl, I just couldn’t get Into it. In general I can’t suspend disbelief and can’t sit through fake fights, especially since I live in the Bronx and have been assaulted and hit myself by thuggish teenagers, even if I had a black belt real fights look different and are actually dangerous
Sorry to hear that you were assaulted I've been jumped twice for no reason myself so I get what you are going through but I can still watch superhero movies and suspend disbelief I don't think those two have anything to do with each other
@Alex T I enjoy movies, I like movies that show actual violence, like the movie 300 or Gladiator, and I actually read comic books like Wonder Woman growing up, however as someone who lifts weights and exercises, now I’m no gymnast… but someone defying gravity too many times like thousands of feet in the air just annoys me…it’s also the PC vibes, bad CGI and bad writing. She hulk was one of my favorite characters, so was wonder woman but I just get bored during highly choreographed fight scenes with no investment in character development and when they are it’s some feminist bullcrap, the believability also takes a hit when there are no consequences to violence, none. Also the athleticism of the female leads is not fully developed, their training or character development is not developed…and seeing the competition at Lesbos in Wonder Woman just irritated me. The muscle and athleticism of any normal male character is more than that of a woman, they have more muscle, can move faster, throw punches harder etc. what these movies do is make a mockery of strong female leads, I think for kids it’s fine…a movie like GI Jane was good bc she believably gets the tar beat out of her at the end. There is a reason why women in combat is only recent, they had to lower the military standards for female in drills, and even recently I saw a boot camp video of a woman in the military almost collapsing after a 12 mile run, I trained and ran for a marathon when I was younger, and I don’t appreciate these female leads who are either CGI muscled or are a size two with no muscle..and even a boob job at times. The way they move and fight is excessive and just not believable, they lack cohesive development in character and storyline. They aren’t even good as eye candy such as movies like the fifth element, mila jovovich actually gets dirty in that movie and almost dies and it’s not even based in real life, it’s science fiction. I don’t think it’s healthy to watch that much violence, but it makes a better movie…I liked wolverine but he is obviously portraying real pain and overcome real seeming obstacles. If someone is jumping a thousand feet into the air I want them not to turn into CGI so obviously. Idk I guess I just don’t want to feel patronized by mindless storylines that veer into woke ideologies…I was mad at how they portrayed wonder woman and she hulk, these movies destroyed the characters, they were huge disappointments for me. Fine for kids,but I find it boring and it actually insults the original characters, visually even the costumes were disappointing…I don’t watch many of these anymore bc I can’t stand the fake effects used to quickly with no consequences, even in Star Wars the original movies Luke gets his hand cut off, and darth Vader clearly is living as a kind of cyborg that seems real, they are actually fearful or careful around things such as gravity. one of the keys of storytelling even in myth, such as fairytales are the obstacles they overcome, sometimes extremely hard circumstances.
@@nottodayimbusy7146 for me it just highlighted the fact that I was not invincible, and I as a woman who intervened to protect someone else, know what it’s like to be punched in the face, and real life violence has consequences. Super heroes are of course super heroes, but good characters should know what real physical pain is like, they should endure hardship. Good superheroes are supposed to be identifiable to a target audience, that’s why little kids want to be Spider-Man or Superman. I don’t want to be wonder woman or she hulk or cat woman I wouldnt be caught dead on Halloween dressed like any of these except for maybe the original hokey Wonder Woman. At least it has campy so bad it’s good vibes…Movies already make it seem as if you are shot you get right back up…that’s not what real life is like, when you get shot you fall immediately, even with a stun gun you fall unless you are on flacca. Idk after a while I just get weary of having my intelligence insulted and I don’t care about the fight scenes, I know the female lead will get right back up after being punched a thousand times. They don’t even move right, I studied kinesiology in college and taught life drawing at the university, I took film criticism…I can enjoy stupid movies if there are crucial elements either the graphics, storyline or believable elements. I even like camp. But if it’s lacking on so many,levels, unless it’s for little kids, I just don’t waste my time anymore. I also feel like I’m being brainwashed by stupidity, so now I avoid them until reviews come out, I would rather keep the original comic book characters intact in my mind…similar to hearing an amazing song then seeing a horrible video, I kinda felt this way when I heard the weekend and then watched the music video, it changes the song and the original concept sometimes for the worse and you will never get that original enjoyment again…it’s been tarnished or ruined.
I do have to disagree to an extent when it comes to you reasonings with Black Widow. She doesn't have superpowers, but a skill set she had been trained in all her life. Her size and weight have nothing to do with it. Her height and weight can actually be an advantage. I'm guessing you never listened to Bruce Lee? I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I think this one is off in my opinion.
I disagree with you about the Hulk. It's a Jungian concept. Bruce Banner is a highly intelligent, passive nerd. Living within him is the evil monster that he denies exists. When the monster is unleashed, he cannot control it because he continues to try to get rid of it. It's only once he acknowledged the existence of the evil within himself was he able to take control of the monster and unleash it on his own terms. This is the Jungian shadow. It's the warrior in the garden. It's the same concept that Jordan Peterson talks about...except the "She Hulk". I don't know what the hell that is.
I love how he's trashing the first Wonder Woman movie without knowing that the second one is even worse.

I’m a fan Matt, but I disagree about the first Wonder Woman movie. Chris Pine is a terrific actor and the lesson of that movie is actually really interesting and compelling.
Wonder Woman was also not man hating in that movie. She didn’t need to knock men around her down in order for her to be strong.
Yeah Wonder Woman was okay. Not my favorite movie but it didn't suck.
Agree with you. But he was funny
yea Wonder Woman was actually not bad and not in your face man hating girl power nonsense ... it was not annoying ... unlike Captain Marvel which was brutal

@@rickyratcomics the only bad superhero’s are the female counter parts lol
@@derekeet47 haha yeah, I recentlynstarted a comic and you may enjoy the last episode I did then. It talks avout the new "Thor" movie.
I love how the physical tendencies of masculinity are deemed as toxic but to show that their female characters are strong and independent, they resort to extreme violence and physicality against males
Whenever women deem themselves as "better than men" and think they are all brave goddesses, they usually adopt actual toxic masculinity and shun femininity as weakness. Ironic. They don't actually hate masculinity, they envy it. But they want everything to be twisted. Why must men be masculine when we can have masculine women and feminine men instead? They want everything to be perverse and degenerative
That’s not always the case. I agree that a lot of female characters are masculated, but there still are lots of characters that embrace femininity like catwoman with her sexual nature or Wonder Woman and black widow with those scenes they have with children where they really display motherly qualities by being so great with kids.
@jp Obviously. But there are many super characters whose strength doesn't come from their physical ability.
Funny how it's always perfectly acceptable to show women characters beating on men yet you never see movies where male superheroes beat on women under the same circumstances. It's always a one-way street where males are incessantly portrayed as abusive bad guys who somehow deserve a beating, yet women are NEVER portrayed the same way. Convenient isn't it?

I agree. Black Widow is actually one of my favs. I do they woulda gave her some powers like they did Captain America as she was kidnapped and trained to be an assassin with the other girls. It would make her character more believable.
I love Daily Wire, but as a Marvel nerd and a woman, I can't help but feel that not only does this only target female superheros, he's only judging their powers, not their back stories.
biggest contradiction here
I remember a friend asking me to go see captain marvel and after seeing it I came to the conclusion that these people just want a slice of the "toxic masculinity" cake. When she steals the dudes motorcycle because he asked for a smile, I went, "ah it's this kind of movie".
She has committed so many crimes in just her short time theatrically that she doesn't belong on this list. She is a villain

At the *very* least, Matt’s video title should be changed. He should title it something along the lines of “annoyingly feminist superheroes “ or something like that. Not a blanketed “5 WORST superheroes” because that’s just making him seem like he hates women being superheroes and that’s all it boils down to. There are lots of “worse superheroes” than the ones he listed. Ugh.

Matt claims not to be a superhero expert, but he knows Wonder Woman is not immune to bullets, something that the creator of the Injustice tie-in comic did not know. He also understands the problem with multiverses, namely the lack of stakes. As someone who is a major superhero fan, I approve of this video.
How can she not be immune to bullets, but get knocked around by Doomsday and still be fine? Makes 0 sense.

I’ve rewinded and watched it more times than I care to admit.
Frankly, that's the precise demographic for comic books to begin with: young boys who haven't quite undergone their Oedipal phase.
As a woman, I actually thought the same things. I always look at these women fighting, and in most cases, the men are badly hurt and wounded, while the women look like battle goddesses that are impenetrable and barely scathed. And you are right, a lot of the stuff in the movies DO NOT make sense. However, I still like Wonder Woman (just the first movie, the second one was dumb) and Black Widow. The idea of brave, kick-butt women who are experts in martial arts and fighting is still pretty cool. If they had made it slightly more realistic (with less wokeness) I think the movies would’ve been better.
i grew up watching martial arts movies. cynthia rothrock is in my top 5 favorite cinema martial artist and she is hands down the best woman martial artist in movie cinema. this is my favorite fight scene she is in.ua-cam.com/video/pSgNUbd4lD4/v-deo.html
I feel as though the fight with Black Widow in the first movie is quite realistic. We have to remember that she is very well trained in her craft and is quick witted while her opponent sees her as easy bait. If someone like her can get others to underestimate her, it’s a very easy win and take down. Women can be much more agile and smart in their fighting while men are more strong and fist for a fist. Both get you to a win using different strengths and abilities.
I also really like Black Widow, as a young girl she was my first favorite superhero.
Check out the movie salt for a woman fight that is much more believable. She fights dirty when ever she needs to.
Yeah black window is actually good for me in the avenger movies .
Hello! :) As a geek first and foremost, yeah, this got my attention...
I'll only disagree with you primarily in that it isn't those five heroes who are lame, *it's the creative forces who write and handle those characters.* It's all about how something is executed, and once upon a time superheroes were usually written and drawn well in the comics. (Current Year Marvel and DC are anything BUT good these days! Believe me, if you think these movies and TV shows are bad, just pick up a comic where literally nothing happens except for a bunch of nonsense talking with all kinds of signalling and politics. In other words, not even kids would want to read them.)
In the case of most of the ladies on your countdown, I'm a fan of all of them except Batwoman; I never got the chance to read any of her books. I definitely never saw her stupid show that got cancelled -- I know I missed nothing. Wonder Woman, Black Widow, She-Hulk and Captain Marvel were honestly written and drawn by people who cared and just wanted to give readers a fun romp of an adventure. I've had *years* of reading the adventures of a lot of these heroes from back in the day. Believe me, Widow herself in the comics was much more than an ordinary woman, but writers were still intelligent enough to show that even she would have serious trouble with really strong men, especially super-powered villains! Captain Marvel may be the saddest case...back when she was created, Carol Danvers was meant to be a feminist archetype, but this was back in the 1970's when feminism was at full swing. Still, Carol grew and evolved thanks to many great writers and editors to become more than an 'I am woman' kind of hero. She was human in spite of her powers, she failed at times, and she was relatable. :)
And then not long ago, Marvel retconned her in the books into the *neo-feminist* 'girl power' Captain Marvel you can't stand. Trust me, anyone who loves the original Carol Danvers doesn't like her much, either. I'd almost argue that CM should be number one, but CW Batwoman earned that place just for saying that Batman's suit would be perfection "when it fits a woman". That's how stupid Current Year storytellers have gotten!
Took the words right out my head
see all of them are clearly feminist though, down to their body language. im not saying you can't like the movies, I've seen all of them myself BUT it's all about women empowerment. actually Scarlett Johanson sued Disney because she didn't get paid enough for HER movie.
So basically all female superheroes. Hmm not biased at all. Not - Ant man, flash, all eternals, hawkeye, drax from gaurdians of galaxy. Just the women ..... hmm
Something else I noticed is how a lot of the time if a female "superhero" battles a male character there tends to be some kind of implication that a woman is the one beating a man up, yet this is never implied when male superheroes battle female characters. Even if it's just a regular man battling a woman they never make a point of telling the audience that a man is the one beating down a woman but when it's the other way around it's usually used to further degrade male characters in a way that's never reciprocated.
I agree to a point. However, I'll refer you to the first "Kick-Ass" movie. In that one, there's an eight year old girl getting absolutely beat down by an adult male. It's a dark comedy, but I played it for my parents and my mother couldn't believe that particular scene made it into the movie. And she's right...it's tough. But it's also more grounded than what Marvel is doing.
You just explained the good ol' double standard which is now the standard.
That was covered in Deadpool in the scene where he feigns being conflicted about beating or not beating a woman and then just shoots her in the head anyway.
Someone hasn't seen man of steel or infinity war or the new doctor strange movie or any movie with MULTIPLE super heroes
What you just said is the term called "Fridging" and comic books have done that to many female love interests/superheroes for multiple decades. The example of "fridging" is when a woman superhero/love interest is either:
1. Depowered
2. KILLED
3. R*ped and/or sexually assaulted
OR
4. ALL OF THE ABOVE
IN ORDER TO ADVANCE A MALE SUPERHERO'S HISTORY AND/OR STORY PLOTLINE.
MCU black widow isn't quite accurate. As a hero originally, shewas given a knockoff super soldier serum like captain america. Ergo, she is beyond normal human levels on most aspects.
The MCU just....skipped that part

Matt, I honestly think that you simply don’t enjoy movies. There is a lot to pick apart in fantastical stories, no doubt about that. But when you just dislike absolutely everything about a movie, and you employ zero suspension of disbelief, and in fact DON’T EVEN LOOK AT THE SCREEN DURING HALF OF THE CLIPS YOU SHOW, that proves that you just enjoy being contrary.

I think 'Into the Spider-verse' used the multiverse story concept well. No one could stay in another universe for a extended length of time because they would deteriorate on an atomic level. Not to mention, the machine that bridged these worlds had to be destroyed because its continuous use was destroying the city.
Into the spider-verse was absolutely amazing. Probably the only superhero related media I’ve enjoyed in the last few years (besides Hit Monkey which was also good).

As a bunch of guys were shooting at them Superman is letting the bullets bounce off his chest while WW is blocking with her bracelets. Supes asks her why she does this even though she is impervious.

She is impervious to bullets. She's also able to move faster than bullets so she can deflect them, aka cinematic bullshit. She's a demigod with Zeus's power. She can summon the forces of nature to kill every single person on that battlefield instantly, she just doesn't know it at the time. For context, she's far beyond superman but she has no idea in this scene that she is that powerful. She can not only jump enormous distances, she can actually fly. She was raised with the Amazonians and treated as human. Until her demigod powers revealed themselves during training exercises and caused her to injure other people, she didn't know she was different. Nobody ever told her what she was. She was never trained to use her powers, so she discovers them as the movie progresses. The second movie is fucking terrible though. This one is actually good.

Personally I actually like Black Widow in the MCU, but that’s just me, someone who isn’t all powerful but can still hold her own.

She also seems to have questionable priorities

I love the logic behind "I don't like superheros, therefore I am the best judge".
I don't like sports, I don't even know the rules of baseball, therefore I should be the best referee in the world.
I see your point. On the flipside, a person who doesn't know the back story of comic book superheroes can, if they're open minded, judge superhero movies on the merits and give a perspective to an average moviegoer that wouldn't be biased by preconceived notions that comic book fans have.
Fun fact the creator of wander woman was really into BDSM. Hints all the ropes and shackles. If you look at the original series. She ended up tied up, a lot.
So she wasn't even supposed to be a feminist icon
That’s actually really interesting especially since she’s older than a lot of the newer female hero’s. Very interesting indeed.
Yup, he said he wanted to create a great female character to inspire young girls, but what got into print was, to put it mildly, one of his personal preledictions. That said, the BDSM is all over 1950s comics and one reason the Comics Code was created.
@@eeveeofalltrades4780
She 100% was meant to be an icon. Her creator felt that what was holding otherwise superior women back was the fact they had few to no role models in contemporary fiction to inspire them to embrace their superiority. So, he created Wonder Woman as an idealized woman, well-rounded in personality, powerful but compassionate.
How often people forget that Wondy's stated mission is to "temper man's aggression and faults." Even the Injustice video game worked that one in when she was confronting her alternate universe brethren.
The bondage was at best incidental. It didn't detract from Wondy's character or mythos.

You should learn about the characters before hand because Black widow Is not a superhero she's a formal Russian spy and she was train to be one when she was a toddler so it's a bit unfair to say she's the worst
I haven't laughed this hard in so long. I hate superhero movies so much! No stakes, no character development, no consistency, terrible stories, terrible acting, over saturated garbage.
The issue with Black Widow is they omited that she has a variation of captain america serum. That's why she is able to do what she does in the comic books
I enjoyed Black Widow, her whole premise is that she is a spy first and soldier second. She works in the shadows mostly using guile and deception. True they also omitted the whole Russian programme thingy.
@@mthunziphakathi4215 Yeah, except for when they made a film completely about "the whole Russian programme thingy".
@@studkickass513 I am talking about the serum part. They portrayed her as all natural tortured soul who climbed to the top through resilience. I enjoyed Black Widow in all the movies.
They have just given her a different back story. Would have made more sense to keep her the same as she is in the source material.
@@mthunziphakathi4215 the reason she was given the serum was that: she is to good lets keep her that way. That's way when she dies the russian clone her time after time
You should have added the word "Movie" to the title. Wonder Woman has been around since 1941. Black Widow has been around since 1964. She-Hulk has been around since 1980. Captain Marvel has been around since 1968, was a man in the beginning. Batwoman has been around since 1956. All these characters have a long successful back story, however the movies have hijacked the names to push a woke agenda.
My thoughts exactly. The books are way better and there’s tons of history involved. Americana at its best. The movies are trash though.
Can you imagine Matt sitting down and reading a 60 year old comment strip made for elementary schoolers? 😂
Black Widow appeared in comic book in 1940, 1964 was 2nd version.
no bodies hijacking them for a" woke agenda" their hijacking them because they make money thats how capitalism works you sell something people like, thats about it. someone made something for a comic decades ago, some one else sells it because they see a market to sell something else related. those comics don't sell because they became what dumb fucks call "Woke" they don't sell because most comics not called batman haven't sold well since the spectator boom in the 1990's you can look all this shit up, as a comics fan its embrassing that i have to spell this out to you
@@hydrolito Totally different character with no relation to Natasha. I think the original statement is fine.
This just feels like a woman hating clip. I mean, I am a huge Marvel fan, and I agree that some of the characters named our lame, but they are all women. I don’t particularly like female superhero’s, but come on, Hawkeye also has no powers and seems invincible, Tony Stark only has a robot costume, but somehow survives the brutal beatings to his very normal human body. I don’t know how this list was compromised, but listening to your arguments for each of these makes no sense compared to the “superhero world”. BTW Black Widow is a bada$$. She always seems to be the side kick for a man, but still can stand on her on strengths when she needs to.
Agreed. 5 top shitty superheros just happen to be women?! What is a woman?! Apparently not a superhero 🙄
Why would Diana (Wonder Woman) wear trench warfare clothing?? She is NOT a soldier from WW1. She is a DEMIGOD based on Greek mythology. She is wearing armor appropriate to classic Greek culture of that time period. It is like asking why a NASA astronaut who time-travelled to the middle ages - why isn't the astronaut wearing medieval serf clothing? Maybe because he is NOT a serf??
I watch your videos because I can mostly respect what you say, but this feels ad though it's just a problem with female heroes because your reasons should have had a lot more heroes falling into the categories
Yes. It was boring, pointless and lazy. Don’t like a woman for having too many strengths, don’t like her for having none.

I usually agree with Matt..but I feel if we making fun of stupid fight scenes in movies a lot of the "male" superheros have worse scenes.
These characters actually used to be good but have degraded into basically nothing but a few ashes. Batman has no powers but he has a drive and a ton of gadgets and many martial art skills with grounded villains that reflect Bruce’s skills. That’s how you do it. Not these characters.
Batman is the best superhero in my opinion.

This is really a ranking of the 5 worst superheroes in the movies and tv shows. I know he said that he is not an expert in comics, but that(In my opinion) makes this not an "Objective reality" as he says.
Clearly the worst superhero is "Arm Fall Off Boy" his power is exactly what it says in his name. He can take his arms off. That's it.
(Please note this is all in good fun, and I don't really care who you think the worst superheroes are)
If the hulk chick could pick him up and carry him to the bedroom she would have no respect for him and he would feel emasculated. Those would be natural feelings.

There is a DC superhero called Dog Welder that traps dogs, cuts them up too weld dog faces on criminals, just putting my two cents I think Dog Welder is the worst superhero.👨🏭🐕
Matt, we agree on a lot, but you’re 100% calling out Wonder Woman without any real understanding of her history and background. Yeah, she has some dated aspects, but she is absolutely fast enough to block bullets because she’s actually strong enough to hold her own against Superman. It’s called magic.
I think the problem is that the clip he watched didn’t actually show that.
Magic isn't real. Grow up. And saying things are magic is just plain lazy.
Yeah this video wasn’t 100% accurate. I usually agree with what he says but like it’s fiction and you can’t nit pick a fictional movie. Plus I wonder what superhero shows/ movies he watched to get so technical about a make believe universe.

A lot of fantasy and fiction doesn’t translate well from one form of media to another, as I’m sure you’re aware. This is especially true when those presenting the stories don’t know what they’re dealing with or use stories as vehicles for their own political or social voice; the latter is nothing new, just more blatant and obvious these days. Matt identifies four of the most problematic cinematic versions of super-heroines. Black Widow is the odd one out as, in her early MCU Avengers appearances, she was true to her super-soldier/KGB origin.
As a massive comic collector and buff. Gotta say all these movies are cringy and just bad. No they do not translate well to the screen medium. The books are 1000x better.
Nah they’re bad, like genuinly bad. Black widow in my opinion had the most potential, but they ruined her too. If they just had made her smarter and more tricky instead of this blunt butt kicking, then it maybe would be good.

Wow.. I was fully convinced that Captain Marvel was the worst.. Thank you for opening my horizons by introducing Batwoman.. Was not aware of this superhero and was much better off for it..

Props to the editing team on this one 😂
They keep outdoing themselves 💀
The difference between Black Widow and Bat Woman is that Black Widow is a femme fatale and uses technique, skill, and weapons to overcome her foes, whereas Bat Woman is a copy of Bat Man and is apparently supposed to be hulking, intimidating, and super strong. Anyhow, I'm not a fan of superheroes to begin with, so whatever.
It just can’t be a coincidence that he has chosen all women superheroes.
Wonder Woman is a slept on character in terms of portraying her correctly on screen. In the comics she’s pretty close to Superman’s attributes in many ways, she can fly and breathe in space, she sparred Superman while they flew to the Sun and back and it took a really small amount of time, and her equipment is pretty damn good too outside of that god awful invisible plane. But yeah, even with all that she’s kinda lame for dressing up like she’s a background dancer for some 1940’s WW2 theatre performance. I won’t knock her name since she was created in a time when that’s kinda the gimmick of naming heroes (Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Hawkman, Iron Man, so on, it’s literally just a descriptive word with ‘man/boy’ or ‘woman/girl’ after it).
I actually like her costume. I've seen too many hideous Woke edits of beautiful women from games; what's wrong with an unrealistic costume in an unrealistic universe where superheroes even exist?
Matt's opinion about WW's costume would fit in perfectly with the Woke crowd screaming whenever a game character is attractive, and wanting the females all to look and dress like Abby in TLOU2. 🤢🤮
I'm a woman, and not lesbian, but I like having attractive men AND women in games and comics. They're just more fun to follow.
I agree with the list except for Wonder Woman. The super strength, like Superman, fighting in several wars and agelessness like Wolverine. Typical superhero 🦸♀️ all the other storylines are trash 😩
@@zxyatiywariii8 Think people generally have an issue with female armor in games... It's not very realistic to have a bra that has somehow better stats than a steel chestplate.
Just sayin' give us the sexy armor on both or none *Consistency*
Seriously? What's wrong with the invisible jet?
I mean at least in the TV show in the 70's she wasn't a superhero with powers. She was more like their greatest, most capable warrior and had some impressive athletic abilities. The magic lasso and invisible plane were a little weird but I was a kid so it all made sense back then. She could not fly and was decidedly human and needed oxygen.
I like Matt Walsh, but I'm also a big superhero fan, so I obviously need to immediately disregard everything else I've ever heard him say and devote my entire life to cancelling him now.
Seriously though, the fact that the worst superheroes all happen to be women isn't down to the fact that they're women. It's down to the fact that their femininity is designed to be the most interesting thing about them, usually to either make a political point or because it's easy. The characters suffer for it.
I think the first 2 characters have done femininity right, at least in previous films. Their most recent films were created in the era of "girls do it better" and "female empowerment" on film
I don’t think it has anything to do with being women, I’m sure it’s about how their poorly written and they make them unrealistically overpowered (more than men who are biologically stronger) for the sake of “wokeness,” and to appeal to the male fantasy of a strong woman who is attractive (some of them)
Captain Marvel is the perfect example of this- her personality is “female and strong” bruh
Yeah but Wonder Woman is actually good and I’m not just talking about the movies
The fact that they’re *female* is designed to be the most interesting thing about them but generally there is very little femininity.
Wonder Woman and the early appearances of Black Widow being the exception

She's so awesome there are no versions of her in any of the other dimensions because she's one of a kind. She's got a huge social media following and attends Sotomayor University where instead of saying things like holy sh*t, she spits priceless one-liners like, "holy menstruation." And, best of all she punches star-shaped portals into other dimensions where she can even go back in time and punch Hitler! Truly a role-model for ua all. God... I wish I were joking.
All these woke movie will suffer the same way a Flop movie suffers. Being a long time comic book collector i am obviously more informed about the subject then kids these days. If you want to succed make something that MOST PEOPLE ENJOY. u cant expect these gay or lesbian character to be the main HERO of even 10% of these movies u know why? Because the modern real world has these people's population under not even 5% or 4% or what? All these people are killing the MCU that RDJ paved and made insanly successful with his IM prtrayal. I always loved IronMan then any other Marvel character as well as Batman then any other DC why? Well the reason is incredibly simple. They are human being
I truly believe that, shitposts like random mashed together images and sounds are better
Multivariate of madness was good overall I just didn't like the star thing o wanted a more rift like crack
America Chavez was cool though. Woke doesn't always mean bad
@@youtubesucks1821,
Woke does mean *bad,* Phuck You mean?
3:01: No Matt, it's not a whip...it's the Lasso of Truth!
The all women gathering together scene in Endgame was so ridiculous. I couldn't take it seriously at all
It didn't even looked authentic and so forced.
I mean at least some of these female super heros are actually from the comics
I usually agree with Matt Walsh but I have to disagree with his take on Black Widow and Wonder Woman. For some reason Walsh likes to make himself look so uncool.
Black Widow is lame and unrealistic. Wonder Woman was a creative idea though.
Both are absolute stains on art and cinema.
He's always knocking super hero movies as kids stuff... Yet he's happy to play Mario kart? 🤔
@@beardsarefacepubes4128 this vid feels like he’s just bitching for literally no reason it’s fiction lmao don’t like it don’t watch it 🥴
Yeah your name kinda sums up your opinion.
To be fair, that Black Widow fight in the first Avengers movie was so amazing. Those were the good old days where she was a badass femme fatale and things were just easy.
black widow is one of my favorite movie superheroes based on martial arts alone. ill never get tired of her hurricuranas into armbars. she is one of the best female superheroes, because she doesnt invoke a man vs woman emotional response, but a humanity vs villiany response. captain marvel def radiated a man vs woman emotional response.
I always had the problem with her that Matt has though. She’s 5’3, 110lbs wet, no superpowers, the average dude on the street would rag doll her into oblivion regardless of her training.
I’m fine with suspension of disbelief, but it can only go so far.
@@jimsim8736 i never had a problem suspending my disbelief for martial arts. when i was young and reading comics, martial arts were prettyuch treated as a superpower. karate kid would go toe to toe with super boy, and karat kid had no powers. me being obsessed with martial arts and practice them, i got big room for suspension of disbelief and a huge bias towards martial arts.
@@nickfry7839 As a child we can believe anything, but as an adult with life experience you should have a different outlook.
If they made a film tomorrow where the karate kid fought a superhero and was competitive people would walk out of the cinema and it would have the worst reviews rightfully so.
@@jimsim8736 and what do you base that take on? batman sells out nonstop and he is just a guy in a batsuit that fights super powered beings. you dont think people would mark out if batman managed to judo flip and defeat a super powered villian? it happens all the time in the comics. this is why we end up with trash like the newest batman movie.
The best fictional heroes come from ancient cultures.
Hawkeye dodged a bullet here.
Doesn't it wholly defeat the purpose of "empowerment" if the female characters talk about being women all the time and how amazing it is that they're women 'doing what only the men can do'? I'm a woman and it makes my eyes roll into the back of my head when they shovel this kind of agenda writing into these films. You see right through it, and it personally lifts me right out of the film. How about...just write a character as a character? And actually think about what you're writing? Instead of focusing on her being GIRL. It's so boring. Want to empower young women? Just write a female character as a normal person.
Yesss!!!!
I remember after watching the first WonderWoman movie and then hearing put it in the news, I honestly rolled my eyes every time people tried to make it seem as though she was such an ‘empowerment’ to women. They acted as though she was such a great representation for women too.
That’s totally BS.
Honestly, why should the characters be any different than all of the real-life people that constantly do the exact same thing? Shout about their bravery and the barriers they are smashing, casting about for praise.
Imagine that.
I think the same. Well said.
Smart woman you are. The superhero women are only representing the concept of "Turning women into men" . I do not get turned on by them because I feel like am watching .......men..
Matt just doesn’t like uterus bearing superheroes 🦸♀️
Black widow's character is one of the sanest superhero character I have seen and there is a lot you can learn from the character. Also, Matt actually think cos Scarlett is 5 foot 3 and weighs 90 pounds she couldn't do all that. Well, she couldn't but the character could. Cos the character is Black widow, not Scarlett. And if you follow the Black widow character, it makes sense, what she's been through and all. Talking about superheroes we all know that it's make-believe, they're not real. Having that in mind, Black widow is still one of the best superhero characters in the Marvel universe
How"s your kindergarden? Do you eat well?
@@user-sq2hg7nh9u yeah, definitely better than you.
Has this man actually seen any Superhero movies? Like he complains so much about everything.
I didn’t make it through wonder woman from the beginning of the movie when they had competitions with her as a little girl, I just couldn’t get Into it. In general I can’t suspend disbelief and can’t sit through fake fights, especially since I live in the Bronx and have been assaulted and hit myself by thuggish teenagers, even if I had a black belt real fights look different and are actually dangerous
Sorry to hear that you were assaulted I've been jumped twice for no reason myself so I get what you are going through but I can still watch superhero movies and suspend disbelief I don't think those two have anything to do with each other

@Alex T It just kills me when people go to a fantasy movie and talk about what's realistic or not
@Alex T I enjoy movies, I like movies that show actual violence, like the movie 300 or Gladiator, and I actually read comic books like Wonder Woman growing up, however as someone who lifts weights and exercises, now I’m no gymnast… but someone defying gravity too many times like thousands of feet in the air just annoys me…it’s also the PC vibes, bad CGI and bad writing. She hulk was one of my favorite characters, so was wonder woman but I just get bored during highly choreographed fight scenes with no investment in character development and when they are it’s some feminist bullcrap, the believability also takes a hit when there are no consequences to violence, none. Also the athleticism of the female leads is not fully developed, their training or character development is not developed…and seeing the competition at Lesbos in Wonder Woman just irritated me. The muscle and athleticism of any normal male character is more than that of a woman, they have more muscle, can move faster, throw punches harder etc. what these movies do is make a mockery of strong female leads, I think for kids it’s fine…a movie like GI Jane was good bc she believably gets the tar beat out of her at the end. There is a reason why women in combat is only recent, they had to lower the military standards for female in drills, and even recently I saw a boot camp video of a woman in the military almost collapsing after a 12 mile run, I trained and ran for a marathon when I was younger, and I don’t appreciate these female leads who are either CGI muscled or are a size two with no muscle..and even a boob job at times. The way they move and fight is excessive and just not believable, they lack cohesive development in character and storyline. They aren’t even good as eye candy such as movies like the fifth element, mila jovovich actually gets dirty in that movie and almost dies and it’s not even based in real life, it’s science fiction. I don’t think it’s healthy to watch that much violence, but it makes a better movie…I liked wolverine but he is obviously portraying real pain and overcome real seeming obstacles. If someone is jumping a thousand feet into the air I want them not to turn into CGI so obviously. Idk I guess I just don’t want to feel patronized by mindless storylines that veer into woke ideologies…I was mad at how they portrayed wonder woman and she hulk, these movies destroyed the characters, they were huge disappointments for me. Fine for kids,but I find it boring and it actually insults the original characters, visually even the costumes were disappointing…I don’t watch many of these anymore bc I can’t stand the fake effects used to quickly with no consequences, even in Star Wars the original movies Luke gets his hand cut off, and darth Vader clearly is living as a kind of cyborg that seems real, they are actually fearful or careful around things such as gravity. one of the keys of storytelling even in myth, such as fairytales are the obstacles they overcome, sometimes extremely hard circumstances.
@@nottodayimbusy7146 for me it just highlighted the fact that I was not invincible, and I as a woman who intervened to protect someone else, know what it’s like to be punched in the face, and real life violence has consequences. Super heroes are of course super heroes, but good characters should know what real physical pain is like, they should endure hardship. Good superheroes are supposed to be identifiable to a target audience, that’s why little kids want to be Spider-Man or Superman. I don’t want to be wonder woman or she hulk or cat woman I wouldnt be caught dead on Halloween dressed like any of these except for maybe the original hokey Wonder Woman. At least it has campy so bad it’s good vibes…Movies already make it seem as if you are shot you get right back up…that’s not what real life is like, when you get shot you fall immediately, even with a stun gun you fall unless you are on flacca. Idk after a while I just get weary of having my intelligence insulted and I don’t care about the fight scenes, I know the female lead will get right back up after being punched a thousand times. They don’t even move right, I studied kinesiology in college and taught life drawing at the university, I took film criticism…I can enjoy stupid movies if there are crucial elements either the graphics, storyline or believable elements. I even like camp. But if it’s lacking on so many,levels, unless it’s for little kids, I just don’t waste my time anymore. I also feel like I’m being brainwashed by stupidity, so now I avoid them until reviews come out, I would rather keep the original comic book characters intact in my mind…similar to hearing an amazing song then seeing a horrible video, I kinda felt this way when I heard the weekend and then watched the music video, it changes the song and the original concept sometimes for the worse and you will never get that original enjoyment again…it’s been tarnished or ruined.
Given his clear lack of knowledge about the genre, I kinda doubt he selected these. He's just reacting to them. And I am here for it.
what a loss of time
I do have to disagree to an extent when it comes to you reasonings with Black Widow. She doesn't have superpowers, but a skill set she had been trained in all her life. Her size and weight have nothing to do with it. Her height and weight can actually be an advantage. I'm guessing you never listened to Bruce Lee? I agree with a lot of what you are saying, but I think this one is off in my opinion.
I disagree with you about the Hulk. It's a Jungian concept. Bruce Banner is a highly intelligent, passive nerd. Living within him is the evil monster that he denies exists. When the monster is unleashed, he cannot control it because he continues to try to get rid of it. It's only once he acknowledged the existence of the evil within himself was he able to take control of the monster and unleash it on his own terms. This is the Jungian shadow. It's the warrior in the garden. It's the same concept that Jordan Peterson talks about...except the "She Hulk". I don't know what the hell that is.
