And with this, the Kaptain completed the Trinity! I'm so proud of him!
Wonder what he will do next?
Qwerty Bastard the movie comes out soon, so the timing seems fitting.
Besides, there are plenty of essays you can do on Wonder Woman apart from just her lack of representation (which sadly, is something that a lot of heroines had for a long time, some of them even today)
Earth Fire Water all their backgrounds on the thumbnails are primary colors too. This mans UA-cam channel is more neat and organized than my life.
Carter Harris I have that "thing" for colors too, for example the Trinity logos should be the primary ones (Superman red, Batman blue and Wonder Woman yellow)
And the same with the Justice League with the six main colors (Flash red, Aquaman orange, Wonder Woman yellow, *Green* Lantern, Superman blue and Batman purple)
Green Lantern!
Afonso Lucas yeah, I didn't knew what color would fit with him
"A woman from a foreign land, wrapped in the American flag, coming to defend and protect the values of a world her people turned their back on because she saw something worth saving."
Yes! This perfectly captures the core of her character. I couldn't have said it any better myself.
praise be our Lord, King of Editing
well put
Rodrigo Salles Dude this is not even a joke. I'm trying to make a similar video essay about the latest Glass Animals album and I want it to be well presented but damn I have a such a new found respect for the actual art of editing. The stuff this guy does must take so fucking long, it took me like 2 hours to do my intro and it's still really shitty.
Oh Kaptain my Kaptain. lol
Rodrigo Salles no hes just unique,stylish,yet not a king
Rodrigo Salles the two lords: Kaptain Kristian and the Internet Historian
Oh, how I hate that "argument" about WW not being a recognizable character. Pretty much all my family and friends, who are not familiar with superhero comic books, can easily recognize WW as much as Batman and Superman because of how symbolic they are to the pop culture. If that's not a recignizable character, then I don't know what it is.
Anyway, beautiful video, as usual. Loved it.
Yeah everyone knows Wonder Woman
@@Jondoe297.. Yes,either from the Carter show or the JL shows.
"Wonder Woman can't be marketable"
Meanwhile a movie about a raccoon and talking tree saving the galaxy makes a ton of money.
the raccoon move is better than all dcu
I personal think you have the best channel on youtube. I'm not even really into a lot of the topics you cover, but you are undoubtedly the platinum standard when it comes to editing and execution. Keep it up!
Didn't expect to see you here.
@@toplobster740same
"Later became the couple's lover"... what? lmao
Austin Krentz they were a polyamorous couple that had and raised children together and it was pretty neat
A TRIAD! How nice!
I actually backed up the video to make sure I heard that correctly! haha
that means they had sex with her
That shows zero understanding of the poly lifestyle looked at through the lens of your average movie frat boy.
Beautifully made, and I agree with every word.
Hey Pat!!!!!!
Hey it's Patrick Willems!!
This is brilliant. To be honest I don't read comics a lot. But I *love* learning about their stories, artistry, and history.
Rational Disconnect The history behind everything is just as fascinating as the product. I love it too :)
It really is time for a goddamn Wonder Woman game! Someone needs to get on that!
Your wish is granted
Superman, Batman and now Wonder Woman. The Trinity has been completed.
Fucking Hell, even when Kristian plugs a sponsorship, note AT THE END of a video, he completely nails it.
I think Wonder woman is definitely one of the most important superheroes of all time. I mean growing up and reading the comics and watching the TV shows, it was quite obvious how important Diana's presence in the DC universe is/was (hoping this new movie could showcase that.) Why can't mainstream media see her as someone worth investing in?
Your videos are so high quality, I WONDER how you do it.
I completely agree. I love his videos! They're so clear, concise, and informative!
After Effects and a lot of time cropping images.
woah man. nice pun
I see what you did there.
www.imdb.com/title/tt5052448/
I kinda low key hope we get Wonder Woman: The Animated Series one day.
I'm always hyped to watch one of your videos. It's informative for new viewers on these topics, but also fun to see your representation of the topics to knowledgeable fans.
GSDAkatsuki Would you mind giving a source for your profile pic?

GSDAkatsuki Thanks so much!
Such impressive animation.
Such interesting information.
Such good.
With the final season of samurai jack ending in less than a month, are you considering doing a video on it?
That would be awesome.
Aww man, spoilers... I didn't know this was a final season.... wtf.
that's in no way a spoiler, joan eunice. There's four episodes left. We don't know what they'll be about or whats going to happen in them
Monarch Doge Only 4 more episodes left. Tis a tragedy :(
Joan Eunice how it was advertised as the last season
A really quality channel.
I'd say along with Every Frame a Painting
And now Mark Brown's Game Maker's Toolkit.
Also Nerdwriter1.
All these channels you guys typed are amazing.
Kap's closing statements are always so impactful.
My favorite superhero of all time! I love the complexity and simplicity of her character. Her compassion, her resilience, her resolve to always do the right thing no matter what. I love it when she's written to still be compassionate and feminine even though she's a warrior. George Perez, Gail Simone, and Greg Rucka are my favorite Wonder Woman writers.
I have a bad feeling about the Wonder Woman Movie because people might automatically label it as feminist propaganda bullshit. We are living in a time where if there is a woman on the cover of it, it is automatically feminist propaganda. Great video as always!
AnimalTruk Yes, I remember so many men calling The Force Awakens 'feminist propoganda'. Guess women can't be main characters without some men seeing it as a 'feminist statement' and becoming annoyed over it.
Nah the first movie wonder woman & the character are great!
Rey on the other hand is not
Yes! Finally some more quality content on UA-cam. :-)
you're not watching a whole lot of vidyos, are you
-xX666Archain666Xx- Well I do. I just watch a lot of shitposting.
-xX666Archain666Xx- Also it was meant as a way of implying that kaptainkristian makes quality content that's some of the best, if not the best, on UA-cam.
Well duh "me," but just wanted to explain.
man you really want to earn those likes
-xX666Archain666Xx- Um no. Not intentionally anyway. I just want to support one of my favourite creators.
Just wanna say: I'm glad to see an ad on this video that's appropriate to the content and nestled nicely at the end. I always enjoy these videos and I'm glad that you can get a bit more for your effort from a respectful advertisement.
I've never been so proud to have the last name of Marston until this moment.
At least Wonder Woman can be your "mentor" in DC Universe Online. So there's ONE game she's at least IN. As much as Batman or Superman, at least.
Gwen Patton Injustice?
Ah, yes, I forgot about the game I don't have a console to play. Thanks for catching that for me! (That's a veiled plea for the publisher to make a PC edition.)
She's in pretty much every Justice League or general DCU game, but the point was that she never got a video game all to her own like Batman and Superman had.
Wonder Woman has appeared in plenty of games its just that in almost all cases its a Justice League game not a Wonder Woman game unlike with Superman and Batman who have bunch of games with them as the primary focus.
Junglehero127 I'd prefer WW to NOT be the primary focus if it's gonna turn out like most Superman games....
I genuinely believe you make some of the best quality content on UA-cam. Thanks for all the hard work you put in to these videos.
Never realized how under-appreciated a character WW was. I was never a huge fan of her, but the new film has definitely encouraged me to dive deeper. Great video!
See, when people complain about superhero stories being imbued with a social or moral message, they should watch/read stuff like this. Superman and Wonder Woman are only as everlasting as they are because of that impetus of social change deeply ingrained in their origins.
Great stuff, Kristian
EpicBeard815 Most don't complain about political/moral messages unless it's blatantly and condescendingly shoved down your throat.
You'd be surprised what people will define as "blatant" or "condescending"
Or maybe you won't. I could be talking to the wrong person.
EpicBeard815 I dunno. I've disliked things with political messages I've agreed with because of poor execution, in either the message or the work. And vice versa.
There's a difference between a superhero story standing for a social message because it had one of the first and most recognizable female characters in an industry where it was uncommon (Wonder Woman, which btw isn't quite as effective or unique of a thing in this day and age) and a superhero story who's idea of standing for a social message is to have an Asgardian being with no interest in human politics go on a rant about Israel that is completely out of character (An Asgardian God in a recent Thor comic iirc) or someone telling Spiderman not to assume an Alien baby's gender (yes, that was a thing) or portraying a mean comment on a blog post as an unbelievable, shocking act (can't remember what comic it was, but it was so out of touch with portraying the internet that it made me question if it was published by a 60-year old). I could go on. The reason people are so against social messages in comics nowadays is because 95% of it is done so insultingly pretentious. Back when comics with well-executed social messages like Maus where being made, comic fans where actually very supportive and celebratory of them.
Wonder Woman, as an outsider trying to fight to protect and unite 2 worlds that used to be one. I think that's a concept that will never be dated. Based on the fact that humans seem more and more distant everyday.
I notice the thumbnail for most your videos regarding comics feature the artwork of Alex Ross. He certainly influences a lot of the popular images we associate with superheroes. Perhaps he'd be a good subject for another video...?
Best pop culture channel on youtube right now, not just with editing and the imagery, but the research done for each and every video, its honestly outstanding. Fave channel, and this video about my fave super hero just made me so goddamn happy. The history behind ww and what ww means today is just ridiculously awesome. Bravo dude
as always, an amazing video not only in visual quality but also on the contents of it, great job kapt!
This was beautiful, really made me think about my own personal disinterest in Wonder Woman. Growing up I never saw the symbolism, just a superhero with a lasso of truth. (Not cool in my adolescent or even adult mind) Which I suppose could be attributed to the lack of exposure of the Super Hero. I never read comics, and most of my love for Batman stemmed from the films and Animated series. Perhaps if WW was given the same care and exposure she too could be fully understood and admired. But after this, I am very excited to see the WW film in theaters June 2nd. Hopefully the hero will finally get the exposure deserved of such a symbol.
As a long time Comic fan....I have to say that I really appreciated this video. Thanks!
out of all the video essay youtubers i follow, you're the one i always gasp with excitement whenever i get a notification. Keep up the amazing work man :D
The absolutely mind-blowing motion graphics work perfectly compliments the thoughtfulness and rigour present in all your essays. Hats off. Bravo.
I am a longtime comic book reader I love always thought Wonder woman was one of the most underrated superheroes ever created because she's a lot stronger the Batman Green lantern The flash she's right up there with Superman and to be honest the reasons why she didn't get that much love is simply because she is a woman nobody wants to admit it but that's the truth
Kaptain oh Kaptain!!! How I've missed your thoughtful videos Kaptain!!!
This was so well done and emotional. Thank you for always making quality.
Holyshit man, by far your most amazing video yet. The editing was just so sublime. Amazing. Amazing.
That's why I love comic. In Golden age, DC focus on feminism while Marvel focus on ethnic minority. It proved that comic books are more than stories for children.
Silverk Well I think we've just about had our fill of feminism and focusing on ethnic minorities.
I am Superman are you saying this because all the problems in these areas are solved?
kaptain on my birthday!! hells yes
Happy Birthday!
NyneFuld Happy birthday!
NyneFuld happy birthday!
Man, you're so good at this and I can see how much passion you put in your videos similar to this. Please make more videos, about other characters because I love how you explain everything about them.
love it when this channel uploads, partly because it then gets me rewatching every other video again
I love it when you upload :^)
I love Wonder Woman. One of my favorite characters ever
i am always, always excited to see you've uploaded. thank you for the excellent work you do.
Dude I freaking love your videos, please don't ever stop.
The stand alone straight to video animated movie is very much worth watching.
Another incredible video. Please do a video about Samurai Jack since the final season is almost over!
This is one of the best channels on UA-cam. Keep up the fantastic work!
These videos are insane! You are one of my new favorite channels!
The "not as marketable" argument kind of goes out the window when you consider that Marvel launched it's massive film empire on the back of Iron Man, who, let's be real, prior to Robert Downey Jr., was definitely way less known than Wonder Woman. It's almost like there might be a different reason...
Because female superhero characters don't sell as well?
So why would a company trying to make money, make a movie that wont generate as much money?
Don't sell as well as what? Based on what?
Because comics, were originally targeted at the male demographic, as a result, more males read comics - obviously it's more relatable to said males, when the protagonist has similar qualities to you, be that race, gender (male in this case), age.
Now in the modern era, comics are now able to appeal to a wide range of audiences, of different gender, race etc. That's something anyone can admire. But it's important to apply logic when thinking about why some characters are more popular than others.
You should maybe brush up on your comics history. There were all kinds of comics in the early days, aimed at all kinds of readers, including romance and comedy books with female readership.
But that still doesn't address Wonder Woman in particular who, again, prior to Marvel taking a chance on Iron Man, was considerably more popular than characters like Thor and Iron Man and definitely any of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
Yeah, they made a Jonah Hex movie because someone wrote a script, and they thought it'd make money, this isn't about popularity or sexism, this is about where a company can see a way to make money.
Thank you.
That is all.
Shredder McScumbag wow
You're welcome.
Another amazing video. Keep it up, love seeing the growth on your channel. Can't wait for the next one.
You're the only channel I have notifications for, because I never want to miss a single video. Keep it up kaptain o7
Man. My boyfriend intro'd me to you, and you've been pretty cool so far, but this definitely skyrocketed you up to fave subs. Rock tf on.
I left my grandmas funeral for this.
Same
Ezekiel Starling loving that profile pic bro
#noragrets
Viniso We're The Millers?
you do realise you can watch this anytime you like don't you?
Man, you seriously have one of the most high quality channels on UA-cam. Fantastic video! Thanks for spicing up my day ;P
I tend to watch these videos twice. The first to take in the info and message, and the second just to observe and note the way you use the transitions to move from one idea to the next. Your edits and transitions just blow me away man (not to take away from how well researched and well presented your topics are).
I've always wondered, does Kap edit his own videos? Or is there a team behind these?
***** Source?
Kendrick Lamar Next Please !!!!!!
If he does do Kendrick Lamar, ya gonna have to wait 4 videos, he does his videos in a colour scheme and saves musicians for purple.
***** whoa I never noticed
DannyBReviews that's both amazing and ridiculously observant
Holy shit, never noticed. That is awesome.
Also awesome is that the only break in the pattern is the Alien video, as it should be.
Safari Virtual But the one right after that is the purple Childish Gambino episode. Before that is the blue Bugs Bunny.
And I just noticed that the Toonami episode is the same. Guess the pattern is VIBGYOR, excluding the first set.
I was just telling a friend about your channel yesterday ! Excellent video as always, keep doing your thing dude :)
Beautifully done, was hoping the video would NEVER end!
Wouldn't it be great if kaptainkristian did a video on One Punch Man ?
Not really.
it's really not deep and there's not enough meaning behind it for a video
Panda - 5 bucks he could pull some insightful shit out of his ass and drop a bombshell on you
to be fair kristian could smear shit on a wall for an hour and make it interesting
Personally, I'd say looking at the author One might have been a better option.
It still boggles my mind that after all this time, we are finally getting Diana on the big screen. I really hope it does well. She deserves it more than any other character.
I love the days where you post, always makes them better. Thanks for being awesome
God, I love these vidoes. Your editing, voice, and simple complexity of your essays, are just amazing.
You know Zack Snyder ain't gonna get any of this right.
12234d Fuck Snyder as his washed out, mellowdramatic bullshit
While Zack wrote a lot of Wonder Woman's movie. The film is much more a passion project of Patty Jenkins whom I have high hopes for.
Stellermeerkat Yeah but that's the problem. Snyder is a shit writer (and I'm a poet and I didn't realize it)
In Geoff Johns we trust.
He's not directing it. It's going to be great.
Please do Rick and Morty!!! Love you Kristian!
HazzBro a Samurai Jack episode would be amazing!!
I would be the bomb if he did a samurai jack episode and a rick and morty episode
Watching your videos is one great way to end the day, thanks for all the hard work
I'm glad you got sponsored Kristian. I hope it helps your release videos more frequently because they make my day every time :)
Honestly, it's really weird dc hasn't already made alot of wonderwoman games, movies etc. Because she's a goldmine in our current political climate with all these women marches and hardcore feminist's.
TheGameRage1 it already is... it already is :(
+ I'd argue that with the ghost busters the difference between them and someone like wonderwoman is that ghost busters did it for attention. Much like how the new power puff girls advertised having a pro trans episode (even though it wasn't intended to be related to that topic at all and relating it to that topic actually makes it come off as very anti trans) they did it to be trend and for attention. It was a pure marketing ploy with very little actual substance and it had nothing to actually say about the movement it was banking on tapping and exploiting. It was basically a shallow and half heartedly sleazy attempt to use a movement for its own gain without adding anything to it while acting like it's adding to it in the process, like a parasite. And just like parasites all it does is hurt and make what its leaching off of look worse in the processs, which it did. Wonderwoman on the other hand could actually be used to comment on the current political and social climate. Although that's all up to DC with how they treat her.
I agree wholeheartedly, Isaac. Ghostbusters was not only not a feaux feminist film, despite the fact that naive feminists flocked toward it. But it was actually damaging to feminism, as well as perpetuating a lot of anti-feminist ideals. Treating men as intellectually inferior, and treating Black women as a stereotype. It was a man's caricature of feminism, and not even remotely a staple of modern feminism.
Plus, and this is one of the most important parts. The studio heads, the actresses, even the director accused the moviegoing audience told the audience what they were if they didn't see the Ghostbusters remake. Even though the accusation was completely false. Despite the fact that the film was an insult to actual feminism, as well as racist, they accused those who didn't see it as sexist for not doing so.
Wonder Woman is being advertised as a World War I period piece crossed with a Greek epic. The focus is on her as a warrior. As someone who fights against evil. Obviously they are using female pronouns and referring to her by a female name. But it's not the central focus of her story. They aren't having the characters going "SHE'S A WOMAN AND SHE'S DOING THIS" or "SHE'S A WOMAN AND SHE'S DOING THAT" in every scene like they did with the Ghostbusters remake. They are following her as a heroine who wants to do the right thing for her people and for the world they are sworn to protect. They are letting her heroic deeds speak for her. Not her gender. That's what true feminism is.
Hardcore, modern feminists will find something to hate about Wonder Woman and her representation regardless of how fair and realistic it may be. And, if they don't then that means Wonder Woman has been bastardized by hardcore, modern feminist values of gender inequality. I'd rather more Wonder Woman media to be made for Wonder Woman fans, and that's all.
Most third wave feminists typically don't like videogames, and will praise a movie or comic for its political relevance without ever reading it or buying it. Its the principle that matters to them not the actual stories or characters. Thats why marvel's been experiencing such a slump in sales even with their "progressive" comic books
Kendrick next !
I teared up a bit at the end. Awesome video! Keep it up.
Your editing is one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
WHO IS HYPED FOR WONDER WOMAN LIVE ACTION?!
Fuck no, the "actress" isn't even Greek and she's a fucking supermodel instead of an actress. Also, it will likely be just as trashy as the other DC Cinematic films, making this the literal worst time to try to make this character marketable in movies.
Henry Cavill is not a real fucking Kryptonian either, your point is?
Maybe it won't be good, but setting it in the Crimean War and making it a blend of a superhero movie and a piece of historical fiction has me excited that it will be more like marvel's multi genre movies rather than the crap DC has been making recently
im hyped yes! finally a wonder woman big production!
i can only quenstion one thing about it
imo it would be nicer to portrait a sorta bigger woman, sorta bulkier, amazonian style. Gal Gadot is wonderfull but shes verry much hollywood fashion style of a super skinny woman. and wonder woman is a warrior!
idk maybe they adress this on the movie but i still think she just looks like a modern top model. feels verry out of place for me
Shes been acting since 2009....
Sexism can be implicit and unintended.
hyphenkee You can perceive it as sexism, but that doesn't make it sexism. Context and intention must be taken into account.
Man, your videos and content are so good. Keep up the good work!
Great work on this video. It made me cry. Reminds me of why I love super heroes and why we need them.
For all those saying that a Wonder Woman game was never made because guys play games the most or that men would not play with a female video game character have never played Tomb Raider, Metroid Prime and so on....
also my girlfriend would kick your ass at Rocket League.
Edit: Ms. Pac-man also.
I do wonder what the numbers would be if we took out all the trash games from superman and batman. Just curious. Cause it would only hurt if wonder woman got a bad game. If wonder woman could have a game that provides something new I'd be interested maybe, but im not sure what she could do different to other games especially unlicensed ones. batman may have a bunch but most are trash the lego ones are ok kids games and the arkham series declined REALLY fast after city.
It was always a terrible argument, but I think it gets even worse as some publishing execs were disappointed in the sales for the Tomb Raider reboot, claiming that it was Lara Croft that wasn't marketable (in comparison to Nathan Drake etc.) when they allocated a far smaller marketing budget to the game than any they compared it to. There's a really awful circular logic to these sorts of arguments that goes along the line of 'women aren't marketable so we won't market them' and the attitude becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Another pet peeve of mine is the argument that powerful women wouldn't be realistic - you see that one pop up every time someone mentions a fantasy game/movie/TV show - as though it's more of a narrative stretch to portray women that are just as capable as men than it is to populate the world with literal dragons and magic.
VARIOUS videos theres also the point that not everyone knows how to sell a game. I will neer buy a rebooted tob raoder game cause they made lora a whiny annoying character because emotion? Her original character might be a little flat, but she was fun and it was a funny idea since it was a millionaire heiress deciding to be a treasure hunter explorer instead of another paris hilton.
Well, most of the women are less strong than men but there are many exeptions, and superheros are exeptions. It would be very realistic to its universe, considering that most of the heros are males, and some females. But I think I get your point, powerful shit with more muscles and the known historical concept of men as warriors and heros makes males more marketable.
She would.
just because Marsten(?) didn't intentionally mean to be sexist doesn't mean it can't be sexist.
The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
MadMrMatter Actually yes it does. Context and intention are all too often ignored these days. It's not sexist.
Another great one KK, always a pleasure to wait for such good content.
You're definently the best youtuber out there. Great editing, perfect scripts and videos its hard to see a channel like this at 300,000 when there are much worse over a million subs
The reason I make all my heroes female in my stories and animations is just for the lack of them.
Dragon Skunk there is absolutely nothing wrong about you making female protagonist but try creating heroes for more than just what gender they are; go for more concrete and deeper reasons/symbols to the core of the character and they'll come out WAY better. If wonder woman was a guy, the core message would still be delivered.
I sometimes do the same. Unfortunately, characters that are created for inclusion rather than sincerity, usually lack depth.
I see this response all the time, and to me it feels misused. An extra thrown in to meet some sort of representation quota (like token black guy, token girl, etc) may lack depth, but making your main characters (like Dragon Skunk said!) female/minority has no impact on that. When you say things like that about main characters, all people hear is "female characters are inherently shallow, because they are women."
I don't think the message of women being just as capable as men could be delivered if Wonder Woman was a guy.
432neptune that's not all of who she is though. I get what you mean as it is a part of her initial design by the creator but she is one of a group who turned their back on humans but she fond some worth protecting them. In other words, a glimmer of hope in humanity worthy of protection to grow out towards the future.
A video essay about Wonder Woman that is not feminist circle jerk and is actually based on the character and it's authors history? This is fucking great!
I'm glad that this channel is growing in popularity, I've been fan for a while now, and this has got to be in my top 3 favorite UA-cam channels, every video you make is amazing, my favorites are Frank Ocean, Childish Gambino and Spider-man, probably because thos are my favorite things in general, please keep up the good work.
Man, this was a great video! I hope more people watch it, specially before the premiere of the movie this June. also, I think I'm gonna use this in some of my English classes. Great work as always man, great work!
Wonder Woman gets the shaft because outside of being an icon, she is boring as hell. She doesn't have an interesting personality, she has two notable villains who still take a back seat, she doesn't have that many stand out stories, and when she is with other characters she is treated as either a super butch independent third wave feminist, or a love interest to Batman or Superman. Superman and Batman both have character flaws (Superman more than Batman) and engaging personalities that don't make them seem pretentious and douchey each time they get into a conflict with one of their peers. Clark will fight over dishonest journalism, Bruce will fight over someone going to far, Wonder Woman will fight any time someone says something that can be tied to sexism. Being a feminist is all she is, and it's not enough to garner mass appeal outside of the fact that she is the first.
truth!
JoeyfilmingTv Brian azzarello new 52 run on Wonder Woman was pretty good if you want to read a good Wonder Woman comic
you don't read many wonder woman comics if you don't think she has flaws huh?
First of all you don't read comics. Second, If any of that is true at all it's because she gets shafted. That's the paradox where most writers don't seem to know what to do with her because other writers were too lazy to know what to do with her. But if you think its because there is nothing interesting about her than you've just fallen into the trap. Good writers have written her well more than enough times that people should get it by now. She's a warrior princess who's lost in time and will never quite understand the modern world but fights for it's people anyway. She was Thor before Thor was Thor but nobody complains about Thor. Since I know you don't read comics(Clark is more "flawed" than Bruce?) much less Wonder Woman comics ill recommend the current run by Greg Rucka. Super easy to find. Or Grant Morrison's Earth One. Both will tell you everything you need to know.
Also you might know about Circe of Dr. Psycho Did you know Giganta was her villain? Now you do.
TheOutlawed1000 Well i do read comics, and i know she has good stories. Im just saying that she is only one of the "big three" because of how old she is. There are much better characters out there and as for Bruce Wayne, I think his level of infallibility and plot armor make the mild mannered and lonely alien Clark Kent seem just a tad more tragic.
I think a reason why Wonder Woman has taken so long to finally appear in bigger media is the fear of her not staying true to her message. It could be argued that if she appeared much earlier she would be mistaken either as misogynistic sexualization of women or an attempt to appeal to the radically yet pointless modern SJW movements
Cheekist Breeki You're wrong. Warner Brothers would rather use DC's two most popular characters over and over again than giving anyone else a shot. That point Kristian mad about the movies and games, how many movies and games have you seen for Aquaman? Green Lantern? Flash? Relatively little compared to Superman and Batman. Warner Brothers played it safe and it came back to bite them because now all anyone really cares about is Batman if they don't read comics
Considering stuff like DC/warner bros cancelling both the original Teen titans and young justice JUST because it had a large group of female fans, from what I remember at least, does really make it come off that the execs are probably sexist
I love watching your videos so much. You are able to turn a topic I don't really care about to something interesting and fun!
I'm always exited to see more content from you! Keep up the great work.
Wonder Woman is the best female superhero. Like if you agree
FRISHR then you must only know one. cause every other women in the league is leagues better than her.
TacoKhan Please go into detail.
TacoKhan
pun intended?
TacoKhan nope. The only woman that can be better than her isn't from the Legaue but from the Teen Titans, and she's called Starfire.
Wonder Woman is dope, but, I like Black Cat so much better. More intelligent, more complex, more liberated, straddles the line of what it is to be good and bad, and doesn't have over powered abilities that allow her to whatever she wants.
notification squad where you at?
how about fuck off
I'd like to thank @kaptainkristian for the research and love that goes into these videos. Always an amazing pleasure to watch.
