The Best Of EFAP Watching Batwoman

[@zynostik5873]

"The idea that she could fuck up is so 'alien' as a concept, that it must be Batman's Batarang that fucked up." Basically sums up this show well.

@@rafaelmarkos4489 UTRH is definitely top 5 DC animated movies. Jason deserves more representation as a character in film.

[@rafaelmarkos4489]

@@zynostik5873 The movie is somewhat OK, but the ending is a cop-out. Although, given what we've seen in every Jason story since 2005, there's an argument to be made that the original UTRH is the mistake.

[@zynostik5873]

​@@rafaelmarkos4489 I'm not sure what you mean by that. I can only count on one hand how many times we've seen Jason Todd represented in film. But in terms of how Jason was later treated in the comics, sure. You may have an argument there. That being said, I still think the animated film did many things better than the comic, especially *with* the ending. They basically simplified all the complicated things that the comic did. It was better paced. Jason's revival was handled way better (As opposed to Superboy "punching reality" too hard). The ending scene where Batman throws the Batarang at Jason's gun in the film as opposed to slicing open his neck in the comics was more believable. Also, in the comics, Jason supposedly drops a bomb in Bludhaven where Nightwing operates, which takes away a bit of the relatability & understanding to Jason's character in the overall story (The movie thankfully didn't do this). Overall, the movie just had a much more streamlined & focused narrative rather than the comic. Personally, I don't think UTRH was a mistake at all. It was a great introduction & explanation for Jason's transition from Robin into Red Hood. And it's a different take from any of the Robin's we've been exposed too (other than arguably Damian later on). And don't misunderstand, there *are* good Jason Todd stories out there. He's just had a lot of duds that writers need to be smarter about when it comes to deciding what to do with him & how to implement him into their narrative & story. Either with Batman or on his own. Because in that regard, I do agree a lot of Jason story's lack there.

And the Riddler can't stand that idea.....after Batman explained that to him. Before that, he was all for spilling the secret.

Better than this... She was kicked out because of the "don't ask don't tell" clause. She's literally too stubborn to say: "naaah, weren't doing anything", then sigh a piece of paper and cope with the world for an actual span of time fewer than a week's worth... Best part: Sophie did exactly what I've said needed to be done to get everything done and left the same school diploma/merits/accreditations in hand/on record. Not saying "don't ask don't tell" was done this nonsensical way in real life,( compared to this sh1t show), but still, *one of the two caracters* did shut up and bear that week's time and got out of the same thing without problems. Sorry if it's too much of a rant, but it's like claiming you didn't know drinking before driving was a way to get in trouble and going through a screaming confession because a cop looked at you funny... She didn't discover it was problematic *after being caught* . She hid and stayed until caught, *then* made a fuss as if she wouldn't accept the rewards despite doing the same thing *if she wasn't so blatantly doing the same thing* . "You can't fire me cuz I quit cuz you caught me by *asking if I was doing what I was aware* I shouldn't do in the open, sir!" Basically... 😒

Just a heads up. Kate was training to become a Crow and would absolutely have had to kill someone at some point, especially working in Gotham City. They NEVER provided any reason she'd be so against killing people in general. Like don't just kill every single criminal you come across, but she's EXTREMELY against killing anyone ever and they didn't give any reason for it. Batman has a reason for it, some pretty damn good ones too, and he passes this rule onto his partners, but Kate didn't get that. You know cause she just STOLE the bat suit instead of earning the mantle like everyone else. So, why would she care? If taking the criminal down for good is the best option at the moment, why wouldn't she just do that? She was like the best marksman by a thousand miles, did she think she'd NEVER have to shoot someone?

It's even worse because the comics have specifically highlighted the fact that because Kate has military training and was raised around soldiers, her policy on killing isn't as absolute as Bruce's. She even uses guns at various points throughout her career.

[@h.a.9880]

Well, I don't think there needs to be a super strong reason. She wants to be a crime fighter, not a mass murderer... makes sense to me. However where this all falls apart *_instantly_* and *_hilariously_* is when Kate allows crazy mass murderers to run free and kill hundreds of people. Past episode 2 or so, every death caused by Alice is on Kate for not putting her behind bars. Why doesn't Kate put people behind bars? Something about the cops being fascist transphobes or something I guess. Sometimes, she just casually tortures criminals or beats them into a bloody pulp and then just allows them to go their merry ways. Keep in mind, this is after she announced she'd be better than Batman. It's a farce and whoever wrote this show is a legit sociopath, that treats people like brainless robots.

In the comics, Alice always *dresses* like some fantastical Alice in Wonderland character, and apparently *only* speaks in Alice in Wonderland quotes.

When shooting your breathing can effect your aim not to mention a load of other sh*t like heart rate or the state of your muscles AND WHEN YOUR DRUNK YOU CAN'T F*CKING CONTROL ANY OF THOSE IF YOU TRY AND SHOOT A GUN WHILE DRUNK YOUR GOING TO HURT YOURSELF FROM THE RECOIL The writers of this show have set common sense and logic on fire to make her perfect And what I said isn't some unknown knowledge anyone with one functioning brain cell will tell you shooting a gun while drunk is a bad F*CKING idea Do these writers even exist in the same universe as us ??

[@AlmightySmorg]

The writers try selling it like "She is so amazing she beat everyone else while hungover drunk" while I see it more as "she was so irresponsible she got horribly drunk the day before a sharp-shooting competition and could have killed someone".

If you absolutely must use RT, go for audience score. It's a better scale of what the general human thinks of a movie/show, rather than robotic and technical critic reviews. Also, critics could very well be paid off behind the scenes to affect the score.

But, I think it's a coincidence. The "Theme" is just the ascending first 4 notes of a minor scale, it's an incredibly simple bit of music to write and I wouldn't be surprised if it's been done before by other composers. Sea of Thieves did it better though, they didn't repeat it on a loop like Batwoman does

[@liquidladdy]

​@@Dragenthor ​Those cords sent shivers down my spine when watching E3 (albeit drunk). I could tell it was edited, but maybe it is a different song after another thorough listening. The fact that some other random shmuck used those same 4 cords just goes to show how amazingly simple Batwoman's "theme" is.

This show fails to realize that yeah, trained women can overpower men but it's not just "I punch him HARDER", there's technique to it. You don't just charge at a deer with a knife, you lure it into a trap with a blind and a gun.

[@carolusrex5213]

Exactly, a well trained woman can hold her own against a man but only if she does it tactically she can never match up physically.

[@viddykhaos2896]

And, that would ACTUALLY empower a woman. Seeing a female character overcome her physical shortcomings with tactics and smart play, would have the audience cheer for her efforts and success. Often times acknowledging the character’s natural or nurtured flaws and trying to grow to success is better than pretending flaws never exist.

[@Jordo246]

[@Alchemistic88]

Not all women... but I think MANY MANY women, especially the ones involved in these kinds of shows, do not understand what's so great about superhero stories. They see empowerment as being a badass, or taking revenge on men. Instead of embodying the virtues of a hero, or being inspiringly intelligent, brave or redemptive; they just see superhero stories as a way to say 'look at this woman, shes awesome, shes better than men, men are trash'. Most men enjoy superheroes because theyre strong, charming, intelligent, brave, morally good, a leader, a lot of the time they're funny too. Qualities that they themselves would like to improve. We like to see examples of greatness to show us how we can be great in similar ways. Who tf wants to be Batwoman? What traits does she have that little girls would like to emulate as they grow up? What are the virtues that women can take from this show to help them better live their lives? This new media push has not even begun to understand what real women want for themselves. Hence we get bullshit like this.

[@LegacyComics100]

There’s a strange irony to all of this because there have been men who have written better female characters in media before, and they turn out better than what modern entertainment wants to “empower” ether by the people at CW, or something, or people that like to pull a Ryan Johnson. •XJ-9: created by Rob Renzetti •Hawkgirl: In the Justice League animated show directed by Dan Riba and Butch Lukic. •Ms.Marvel(Carol Danvers): When written by Brian Reed. There have woman creator and writers out there like Naoko Takeuchi, or others out there who have done better than CW, but I couldn’t find anyone that comes to mind, but they’re out there.

[@KrisAbsolution]

nearly 4 glorious hours of " She let them get away!"

[@Kernwadi]

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

[@stevewilks8141]

The main actress is known has having an androgynous face, meaning she has slight masculine features, making her look slightly more like a man than another typical girl. And they even dress the hair and clothe her in typically masculine clothing to re-affirm this. But it's a girl-power show, full of messages about how a woman can also be powerful, it doesn't have to be a man, a woman can also be batman. So why on Earth was it so important for the creators to cast a woman that looks like a male? And dress her up like a male... isn't a man the opposite of what they are going for here?

So, potentially stupid question: what was Ned Flanders's motivation? Like, why did he kidnap Alice and treat her like shit, break her spirit and all that? Why did he treat Mouse the way he did? Just... why did he do any of this?

[@xFlareLeon]

From what I gathered from JLongbone's reactions, he kept Mouse locked away to 'protect him' in a twisted sense, and kidnapped Alice so he'd have a friend. Now abusing her, cutting off her mom's head and sticking it in the fridge, I can't answer that.

[@05-Overseer]

Well the head was for the Queen of Hearts or whatever, but the abuse I really dont know.

[@Ceyx000]

Why kidnap Beth: easy to cover up, she's presumed dead. He wanted to break her down to manipulate/reinforce her new identity as "Alice". He was disgusted with Mouse. Flanders is a narcissist, Mouse was a reminder of Flander's limitations. Flander's is the best cosmetic surgeon in Gotham and cant "fix" his own son. Finding Beth & Kate's Mother's decapitated head was a "bonus". The Red Queen (psychopath, no character developement), knowing her son was a gifted surgeon wanted Mrs Kane's face.

[@brendenmiles8564]

That all still sounds really stupid. Am I allowed to think that's stupid? 'Cause that still sounds stupid.

[@brendenmiles8564]

Wait, I just realized: that explains how he was able to kidnap Beth but not why. Like, why take her if he just wanted the mother's face? What, did he want her to give Mouse a companion? Did he want to mold her into his, like, ideal child after "failing" with Mouse? I get that they probably just put this in so that the writers can explain why Alice So CrAzY, but there actually has to be a reason.
