#WonderWoman #DC

[@BruceWayne-pm6co]

I feel like Wonder Woman is that one hero that everybody respects but still is under appreciated.

[@thexman6138]

Bruce Wayne That's most female heroes super girl and batgirl are my favorite female heroes of all time but don't get enough credit

[@johnlawful2272]

Bruce Wayne I don't like solo ww comics, I like when she's with the jl

[@seanh884]

KRYMauL Batgirl is just a liability.

[@Pranaynaynay]

I've never heard anyone say anything bad about Wonder Woman...but this is the first live-action movie we've ever seen of her so that's a pretty damn accurate statement I think

[@changingsky4535]

Unrelated but still important: how is superman buff, he can't work out?

[@splish8869]

I appreicate the idea of 2.0 history of episodes for characters who have had alot of changes in history for major characters

[@deadpool1901]

VariantComics I have a question. what if the amazon tribe gave birth to males babies... and is it just me or is the image ppl have for all female rule seem to be more dark and sinistic then guys. Like killing ppl after taking their essence sounds messed upand selfish...

[@robstoppablecosplay]

Thank you VariantComics. Great Episode I love it! Please do a "History Of" Episode for Hawkgirl, She-Hulk, Black widow and Black Canary?

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

I think in the new 52, they gave the male babies away and Hephaestus took them in as workers or some like that. But that's only in 52

[@hindsightpov4218]

The Powerful One That's good. I assumed the Amazons just ate their own sons. But they only gave them away to live out their lives as slaves. Whew! What a relief.

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

HindsightPOV 😂 what do you mean they are their own soul? 🤔😯

[@kassiekeys2538]

the new wonder woman movie was AWESOME!🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓🤓

[@TOPAZ.o]

Can everyone just admit that wonder woman is as strong as Superman can we just admit it.

[@themadtitanthanos7634]

King Julian nope because superman has no equal. you don't want to mess with a pissed off superman. just look at what happen in superman vs Manchester black and his group

[@shino4242]

Its sort of a "yes and no" kind of situation. Both (as well as some other heroes like shazam and Mmanhunter) basically have infinite strength. they aren't he kind of characters where the writers say "ok, they can lift 50 tons, and that's it. never more than 50 tons. hard limit". They will always be as strong as the story demands them to be. So yeah, she's as strong as superman because they both have infinite strength...But supermans feats of strength typically beat WW's unfortunately. I've heard of stories where WW lifted the equivalent of 1/3 of the earth or something like that. OK, superman has moved the entire earth before and at one point basically bench pressed the equivalent weight of the earth for 5 days straight Its situations like that which cause the "she's strong, but not superman strong" kind of arguments. Basically if she wants to be seen as his equal in strength, she needs to -hold a black hole in her hands -bench the earth/move the earth. preferably with as little effort as possible. If she strains too much people will go "supes didnt strain that much!" -get into a fight with an alternate universe version of herself that has the force of their blows tearing apart reality/destroying the universe/etc. If she doesnt do stuff like that, she'll always be second string.

[@Archihuman]

Hahonryuu - If Superman can do all that and Wonder Woman can fight on equal terms with Superman, it follows that she's equal to Superman. Wonder Woman is not a feat-driven character, her feats consist of beating powerful adversaries as opposed to "bench-pressing the Earth"

[@shino4242]

Not necessarily true since you can beat someone and not be as strong as them. Also, its always going to be writer dependent. You have some writers who treat character X as the end all be all, and others that treat the same character like crap. So no, just because some writers depict her as being his equal/beating him doe snot mean she is capable of the same things In another example, someone who trains their body to be a able to break lifting records but never learned to fight can be beaten in a fight by a martial arts master who is clearly weaker than them. Not that the martial artist is weak, but clearly not as strong as the super lifter. I'm not implying superman doesn't know how to fight, simply that WW is one of the best hand to hand combatants in the DC universe. So her being able to fight someone, in theory, stronger than her doesn't mean she is capable of the same thing Lastly, keep in mind what I said. I was not saying she was weaker or wasn't capable of such feats. In fact I put her in the same "infinity" class as superman. I was simply stating that the general public probably wouldn't accept her as being as strong until she does comparable things. I mean for gods sake, we're speaking about a fanbase who fairly consistently says batman can beat all these godlike beings. But him being able to beat these gods (in theory) doesnt mean he's as powerful as them. Thats why your "but she has shown to be a match for him in a fight" logic doesn't quite pan out. Plenty of technically weaker people have beaten/are capable of causing lots of problems for him. I mean, his arch nemesis is a normal (albeit genius) human being. That's the biggest thorn in his side...a weak ass human. Again, I'm not saying she CAN'T do these things or isn't his equal, simply that your reasoning for it is flawed. This isn't like a manga where from beginning to end it has 1 writer. These characters have new writers and continuities all the time. Their strength level fluctuates massively over the years. Original superman couldn't even fly.

[@markturnbull2711]

not a DC fan but I always like wonder woman

[@asgorathalpha8316]

I have never liked the Superman/Wonder Woman pairing. To me, it's just to predictable. What I have liked is a Batman/Wonder Woman pairing. Wonder Woman has been portrayed as an idealist, a shining beacon of hope. So she can appear naive (please correct me if I'm wrong on that, I haven't read the comics and am fine with being wrong). Batman sees the reality and knows that not everyone can be saved. On the other hand, Batman is a dark, vengeful form of justice. And after living in this dark world, the darkness has almost completely consumed him. Wonder Woman could help him live beyond his crusade, to allow some light back into his life. This relationship was teased in the Justice League and Justice League Unlimited TV shows, but I would like it if it became a part of the main continuity. Am I alone on this?

[@arch5701]

Abie Elfenbaum Definitely not alone m8. I'm also tired of that cliche bullshit. And btw the majority of comic fans did not like it too

[@asgorathalpha8316]

Bacho Paradashvili Huh. Thanks for the info. As I said, I don't read the comics, so I wasn't aware of the fan reaction as I'm not a part of that community.

[@laughingman4402]

Abie Elfenbaum Yes Wonder Woman should be with someone in her own comics like Batman has Catwoman or Talia Al Ghul and Superman has Louis Lane. The fact that people still pair her off with Superman or Batman shows how badly DC has written her comics and her love life

[@guccigincu1615]

If its meant to be a bestfriend relationship then ok...but still u gotta respect steve trevor lol

[@briannalee1998]

Abie Elfenbaum no you're not. But I do ship him with Talia and her with the modern version of Steve Trevor. I believe they briefly had a WonderBat relationship or almost had one in Kelly's Justice League run, but he diminished Diana to emasculate Bruce.

[@glennlaroche1524]

The Patty Jenkins WW movie is, imo, the best superhero movie ever. EVER.

[@CBrown]

Wonder Woman is the only movie I'm looking forward to as much as Spider-Man, my #2 and #1 all time favorite superheroes.

[@karanmaini8266]

Do a videos on all the infinity stones pls

[@lexmatthewtheurbanavenger2046]

KaranManutd Maini OR Captain Planet Origin

[@ChrisKat]

You gotta remake the history of the flash!

[@giahoang5849]

Seriously, I can't never get bored at the advertisement

[@bobafett407]

Do a revised history of Wonder Woman!!!

[@tamaleboii1419]

Dear variaint comics, I don't read or buy comics and I wish I did and you and 1 more channel are my outlet so good job sir and i hope you do well

[@hanitaye4126]

Please do a history of black lightning

[@KidGravityBeyond]

Hani the10th that'll probably come out near the premiere.

[@EddiePotatoes]

Looking forward to seeing the movie. Hope it lives up to the hype.

[@criminalisticL3]

I miss WW old origin being made out of clay. It's unique and there's no reason why she being the daughter os Zeus makes her more powerful.

[@amithn5770]

HISTORY OF MXYZPTLIK PLZZZZ

[@ebonymaw8457]

spell it right next time or don't even bother.

[@bobslob2285]

Ebony Maw you forgot the capital S in Spell

[@mercutioescalus6782]

Ebony Maw forgot your comma before "or"

[@amithn5770]

Ebony Maw spell what

[@ebonymaw8457]

amith nadig Mr. Mxyzpkjiltlkikl

[@Imdumorg]

read the injustice comics and when superman thought she was doomsday. Wonder Woman can beat superman trust me.

[@armydorian4239]

Isaiah Hines - she really can. I don't know why it bothers some guys that she's more skilled than Superman. Some guys get angry @ the thought. Haha. They need therapy. There's no shame @ being 2nd to Wonder Woman...absolutely NONE. 😆

[@Imdumorg]

Right!!! Like Superman has no skills the thing that helps him is his strength, Wonder Woman doesn't have to use her powers to win a fight. He does.

[@albertgarcia2541]

Isaiah Hines the fight where he thinks he's fighting doomsday is "sacrifice" part of the omac arc, not injustice. Though they do fight in injustice when Zeus forces them to fight

[@Imdumorg]

If you go official life facts people that beat Superman it shows she beats him.

[@Imdumorg]

not the injustice one

[@funkyfishgawd2954]

Great show. Answered a lot of questions I had

[@theodorehumphreys907]

Great Info. I really appreciate your videos like this. I was a long time reader but had to quit due to cost, supporting a family, etc.. i still try to pick up a comic when I can. Hard to keep up. Videos like yours and your channel help me stay up on comic world. I can not wait to see the Wonder Woman movie. long time coming. looks great.hope it is. and the make more. Thank You!

[@thomasmoore3401]

If anyone wants to see the Wonder woman animated movie, it's on netflix

[@bigstunna2049]

Thomas Moore it's pretty good

[@darkstardarin]

Thomas Moore REALLY?!? FINALLY!

[@cheryldragunoff4129]

Thomas Moore really

[@boyzo93]

Thomas Moore it's not, you lying piece of shit.

[@HaroKid]

It could be in a different region.

[@alexlewis4881]

Anyone feeling like the history of the blue beetle?

[@Thegreatmemegod]

Alex Lewis im feeling it

[@juliangonzalez4038]

Alex Lewis they already did it lmao

[@Zeronos63]

no they did not

[@Tombstone943]

Has nobody read The Legend of Wonder Woman by Renae De Liz!? That is THE definitive Wonder Woman for me. Great art, great characters, emotion, Diana's true roots in the World War... it needs to be more appreciated.

[@nelsonnez230]

whatever I read a comic book of Wonder Woman, I think like every costume, just love it all the years

[@jaxofalltrade5158]

You should do a history of Blue Beetle

[@avatar4real327]

Still waiting for that history of Professor X video

[@exiledaura8260]

Yay something finally to watch

[@theradzone934]

Great video as always. Have you caught that Superheroes Decoded documentary on History channel? Good watch.

[@MajorMovesB-ball]

First off, awesome video as always, Aries is always funny as hell, and the Dollar Shave plug is the olive in the Martini.

[@astronomicalsupernova6766]

Good vid

[@21mrcy]

Variant ur shirt is awsome my fav atm :D

[@jrml8432]

I feel Diana is definitely powerful enough to be as powerful as Superman. The time she fought Superman while he was under kind control, he thought she was Doomsday and he thought Doomsday had killed Lois. As you can imagine he was really pissed off. Even Diana stated that he was holding nothing back and going all out on Diana (whom he thought was Doomsday). Diana was literally holding back the whole time because she knows that he is not the enemy. She survived being attacked by a bloolusted Superman. She even cut his throat. She is strong enough to really hurt and even beat him.

[@goobagamezgamez1639]

awsome

[@Lawrence2099]

Swamp Thing and Poison Ivy next please!!

[@enthusiasticadventurer]

Wonder Woman may not be as strong as Superman, but I still think she would put up one hell of fight due to her training since she a child. Sometimes skill is more important that strength.

[@directorforplastic7929]

It’s been almost a year since this came out and this is still the only 2.0 reboot

[@kingmuizz708]

More 2.0's please😊😊😊

[@devinpoling6611]

History of Cyborg plz.

[@samanthayork9578]

Love your channel. Hope to see a Hawkgirl history.

[@thesolitairegambit2556]

Awesome video! Have you done an episode of How powerful is WW? If not, a lot of people would like to see it?

[@Moontrail]

Hi guys, after seeing the Supergirl Finale (totally AWESOME) I thought the show was hinting at doomsday at the end, but apparently lots of people are saying it MIGHT be a new supervillan called "Reign"... Ive only seen the online overview of her (and money is tight to get the comics) so I was wondering if you guys could maybe give a OneShot synopsis on this character?

[@emilioraphaelperalta6593]

2:26 When someone asks how life is going and you try to make yourself look happy when you aren't. :'(

[@theassortedchannel2944]

the movie comes out on Thursday 1st June in Australia. can't wait!!!!

[@RGMUFC1]

Wow Wonder Woman coming in theaters or cinemas or whatever on my birth day :D

[@shawnjames8004]

where can I read the rebirth comics online ? I've tried finding them but for some reason most of the websites I checked only have the first issue

[@Uwujarvis]

I don't know why you shaving that balloon is so good to watch

[@farmansiddiqui9279]

The rebirth issues are amazing!!!!

[@Estarfigam]

An overdue big screen debut, it's like Disney focusing on Mickey and Donald but forgetting their Princess line.

[@harin988]

Could you please do a video on the lightning colours of the flashes and what they mean?

[@rhomuell]

Hey Alex, please do a complete story of "What's so funny about Truth, Justice, and the American Way?" It's one of the best superman stories, and would be a good complement to the current story.

[@Shifty_Eyed_Dog]

Linda Carter #therealwonderwoman

[@aymanabukar2271]

Do one on black lightning since he got a show. 🙏🏽

[@ebonybattle7428]

Yay!

[@mayraestrada2597]

cool

[@Sly-zn4sp]

wait is wonder woman more powerfull than superman? cause of the demi god thing

[@Burning-Twilight]

She could be but for the most par she is typically displayed as just being on par with him.

[@leoschoenhofen4864]

I have watched this channel since before 2013 so like late 2012

[@aka_man1558]

I think we could use a part 2 for Dr fate since you mostly covered Kent Nelson

[@jacktrow394]

You should do a classes vid with dc or marvel with rank most powerful at A and week members at F????? Would be cool to see

[@liquorsnake]

Can you do history of black lighting

[@moochinarayan7146]

Now please do a video featuring the endless

[@austinpena5605]

Was I the only one that was on board about how the Amazons reproduced until he said they killed the men after?

[@jasercervantes]

Hipo-Light-Ah??? lol It's pronounced Hipáh-Lit-Ah.

[@ashishkalam9337]

no the voice actor in the wonder woman (2009) movie pronounced it wrong. Hipollyta exists in greek mythology like zeus. thus Hipo-Light-ah is the right pronouciation no matter what dc does with it.

[@yksnimus]

shut up, thats not the greek pronounce of hippolyta

[@jasercervantes]

translate.google.com/?hl=es#en/el/hippolyta

[@robotsandmonsters4756]

Every time Hippolyta has appeared in things like Hercules the Legendary Journies, Xena the Warrior Princess and A Midsummer Night's Dream, her name has been pronounced \hi-ˈpä-lə-tə\. Both those shows had actual greek mythology scholars to help with things like pronunciation. Arris is terrible at pronunciation and has admitted as much in the past. Some people find it more annoying than others. you can listen to it here: www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/Hippolyta

[@SonicDeeHedgehog]

You're wrong, Ashish

[@speartempests]

wonder woman is greatest movie ever

[@ACoolestNinja]

The Wonder Woman animated movie is one of the best DC animated movies and that's saying something because most of the DC animated movies are amazing.

[@csquared84]

We seriously need more 2.0 History of Episodes.

[@aploopy3131]

Pls do history of etrigan

[@I_POP_DOMEZ]

wonder woman would kick supermans ass :D, Was so hype in the injustice comics when they were forced to fight and she almost kills superman instantly brutal.

[@tylerduncan7115]

I would like to see a history of Spider-Man 2099 (Miguel O'Hara). He is one of my favorite characters and I think his suit looks awesome.

[@boyzo93]

Do history of Blue Beetle!

[@rdsiam]

Nice update. Anyone know where the image at 3:47 is from?

[@lilyhodes1114]

do history of hope summers next!!!

[@moist_captain]

[@jbarnard2000]

History of quake , poison ivy , the blue lantern core and the hellfire club !

[@ultraguy14]

You forgot the part where her creator was super into bondage and that being where the idea for her rope came from.

[@JediAcolyte94]

+VariantComics Maybe you could do Franklin Richards(Marvel) vs. Doctor Manhattan(DC Comics)?

[@pishposh1504]

to make things a little simpler for me I have always kept it in my head cannon that paradise island is the name of the landmass/island itself and themyscira is the name of the city on the island.

[@frankmontez6853]

59 yo here . I don't buy comics or graphic novels anymore and I looked at this video because I couldn't quite remember the very first origins of her and wanted to refresh my memory . . I remember the 80s version which had Steve Trevor first coming to Themiscera in a jet .. her rescuing him etc . TYhen conmfronting Ares who wanted to destroy the world thru nuclear armageddon .

[@davidk3849]

Do the history of Beast Boy!!!

[@tyjaiwilliams7683]

Can you do a video about blue beetle?

[@chrisgomes1722]

Didn't you get a Wonder Woman shirt last year (BvS Hero Pack unboxing)

[@rni4069]

I like this, but Arris I think you should focus on characters who you haven't covered, like more unknown characters or under appreciated.

[@donna74ph]

you forgot the detail that when she was competing to be the chosen warrior she used a mask so that her mother would not recognize her because her mother forbade her to join the tournament ;), also in the tv series she had a younger sister, Drusilla

[@ohhhkingslayer]

Man you need to get a Wonder Women shirt ASAP she is the saviour of the DC Movie Universe 😂

[@dariananthonya]

Hey Arris Quinones I love the work u do on VariantComics its so awesome but I searched threw your super heros review but then I saw that u talked about captin cold but if this is to much to ask think u can do a review on Captin cold's sister Lisa

[@jdsimmons97]

I think there should be more movie's for Wonder Woman.

[@assassingio1866]

I love wonder woman.

[@Seeds___]

[@TheBlackOtaku]

I really hope the wonder women movie doesn't failed in the box office

[@EAWingZeroGundam]

I hope it does fail. I'm tired of movies trying to promote feminist bullshit

[@rudyurive5209]

EAWingZeroGundam oh okay

[@shino4242]

It wont fail. That doesn't make it good though. But I doubt it'll fail. Me, idc if it fails, I just want it to be good.

[@TheIrishYoshi]

EAWingZeroGundam How is having a strong female protagonist promoting "feminist bullshit"? Does that mean Alien promotes "feminist bullshit"? Or The Hunger Games?

[@EAWingZeroGundam]

The Irish Yoshi yes

[@conceivebelieveachieve9544]

do a video about every doctor in comic books

[@youngandcluelessss]

for the recommendations. why did you recommend Vol 2 Guts before Vol 1 Blood?

[@ads7448]
