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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

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!

Another amazing video. Keep it up, love seeing the growth on your channel. Can't wait for the next one.

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.

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.

+ 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.

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.

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.

I'd like to thank @kaptainkristian for the research and love that goes into these videos. Always an amazing pleasure to watch.

Such crisp editing. Beautiful job!

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!

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.

Another great one KK, always a pleasure to wait for such good content.

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

Wonder Woman is the best female superhero. Like if you agree

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.

Your comic related videos are my favorite for sure. Keep up the good work!

Yoooooo I just watched HarmonQuest a couple weeks ago for the first time, ended up bingewatching the whole first season. So much fun and I recommend it to anybody interested. kk your editing is, as always, flawless and I'm already looking forward to the next video.

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.

@TheOutlawed1000

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.

"that diana is either bound chained gagged on the cover of the majority of her books but that was also an attempt to combat the damsel in distress trope that was commonly found in comics those days " yeah i think it was an attempt to combat the lack of good porn those days and the fact that sex sells , stop the bullshit

To an extent but it was always done with the intention of subverting people's expectations at the time once they actually read the comic. "Oh no! Wonder Woman is tied and bound! Who's going to save her?" The answer: "Wonder Woman. Wonder Woman saves Wonder Woman"
