You're still reeling after watching Wonder Woman, aren't you? So were we. Our initial Wonder Woman reaction was just "holy crap, they nailed it." Our in-depth Wonder Woman review is probably more like "Holy crapy, they really nailed it." Luckily, this is a Wonder Woman breakdown where we explain WHY the movie is so good and what kinds of DC and Wonder Woman easter eggs Patty Jenkins snuck in there for all of us. Get ready because this breakdown is for the Wonder Woman FULL MOVIE, meaning it's a biggie!

Wonder Woman gets a Full Breakdown, with all Easter Eggs and References to History, Greek Mythology, and Classic Films Explained! Erik Voss points out everything you missed, including Justice League Easter Eggs and references to Superman, Indiana Jones, Casablanca, and The Little Mermaid. Why was Wonder Woman set in World War I, not World War II like in the original comics? What clues did the movie use to foreshadow the reveal of Ares? What are Diana's mythological origins?
Also, if you can't get enough this Patty Jenkins Gal Gadot Wonder Woman movie, we've got plenty of other videos for you! We go WAY into why the Wonder Woman Theme is SO intense here:

[@daejahw4851]

When she saw the people whipping the horses she said 'that's not the way.' Possible reference to her ability to talk to animals

[@dreb.4660]

daejah voo I thought I was the only one that noticed that. Maybe in WW2 we will see her explore more of her power.

[@sssgus]

I think some people are missing the point regarding the villain here. Ares wasn't the main antagonist in the movie, Mankind was; our flaws and the potential to destroy ourselves. The god of war act just as a catalist.

[@extremekitty8111]

sssgus well said! Ares even something to that effect in the last part of the movie.

[@ianalam4298]

sssgus thanks ya Scientologist

[@abeedbasheer6680]

This is an article about hte hundreds of people who had to wear masks due to disfigurement after the First wprld war www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/08/the-first-face-transplants-were-masks/375527/

[@abeedbasheer6680]

This is the case of William Kearsey see his Photo before World War 1 and his face after the war www.theguardian.com/world/postcolonial/2014/may/26/broken-gargoyles-the-disfigured-soldiers-of-the-first-world-war

[@lovipoekimo176]

I agree.

[@xxSuperFrogxxGaming]

I went into Wonder Woman just expecting a good movie, but I left more than pleased! I think that it absolutely deserves the praise from critics, but no movie is without fault. I believe there were a few under-developed characters, but overall that plot was great and the story kept me interested!

[@westonblake8492]

The reviews got me to hype for the movies and I was sorta disappointed but the movie was good

[@jay____l]

The final battle with Ares was kinda meh too. They could of given Wonder Woman a truly epic battle like something similar to Zod vs Superman.

[@Blaze40fizzle]

This movie Wonder Woman sucked it was wonder crap. It had its good moments but overall it was wack. Gals acting was not that good so I don't why he said she acted so great

[@xxSuperFrogxxGaming]

+Jm3 I saw it opening day, just expecting a good movie. for me it wasn't overhyped because I had stayed away from all the hype. Very pleasantly surprised 4/5 stars. However, I do believe that hearing how good it was over and over again can dampen the overall enjoyment

[@xxSuperFrogxxGaming]

+Weston Blake, I agree, an overhyped movie is never that good

[@jman090]

When she crossed 'No man's land' I thought she was ganna say something like "But a Woman hasn't crossed it yet"

[@sophiaguzman9324]

Mr Joke lol me too xD

[@Thoreaux]

Also anticipated that, glad they restrained themselves. Like, c'mon, women don't wanna march down machine guns either. It's a human thing, a demigod wouldn't get it.

[@Maelwys]

I think Lord of the Rings already used that joke. But personally, I was expecting her to say something like "Leeeeroooooooooooooy Jennnnnnkinnnnnns!" ;-)

[@cheveyo1332]

im soooo glad she didnt it made the movie have so much more value and meaning

[@jman090]

Savoy Collier​​ yeah like I liked how we the audience like put that together. She's a Woman crossing no man's land, and it makes it so much better cause she's a woman!!!!

[@fridge6836]

Wonder Woman and Steve Trevors banter was the best part of the movie

[@comicsauniversalalliance8669]

Patty Jenkins needs more creative control over DCEU's continued movies. JMO.

[@littenfire3563]

I agree. She showed she knows what she's doing with Wonder Woman

[@juscallmeehx]

And less Snyder. Or no Snyder at all would be better. Actually may just want to keep him for action scenes.

[@reneiloe_m]

i know people hate Zach snyder But lets not forget He started the DCEU and producing all their films, Wrote the story for WW, cast Gal & Hired Patty to direct .. Patty did a great job with WW and she should direct WW sequels but not all DCEU films,

[@juscallmeehx]

Snyder is awesome in fight scenes and imagery but horrible at everything else. Jenkins has shown she is a well rounded director. Anyway, Snyder's only participation in WW, according to Penken's AMA, is story direction to coincide with BvS and Justice League. Honestly, people are mad at Snyder for making relatively crappy movies that are incoherent messes, and not being faithful, even loosely faithful to the heroes' comicbook counterparts.

[@juscallmeehx]

Marvel is fairly faithful to the comics given its cinematic context. Snyder couldn't give a shit. People wanted at least a few things, Superman with less brooding and more optimism and Batman to stop killing oh and addition, have a coherent story. Movie goer's suspension of disbelief can only go so far.

[@Starling265]

i honestly teared up during the last battle scene just because it was so amazing to see a woman as a hero and a badass without being undermined. AND THE THIGH JIGGLE! Oh my god, that was awesome to see too.

[@Halexstrasza]

Katie. Y. Yesss she's so beautiful and strong and I love how in their land all the warriors are so capable but yet their fighting still looked so effortless and elegant!

[@ms.bubs4fun506]

Katie. Y. Ha ! I thought I was the only one that noticed the thigh jiggle. That was awesome

[@shadowstorm125]

what thigh jiggle?

[@lauraberg6872]

Glad I wasn't the only one crying and blubbering.

[@JohnnyKronaz]

...thigh jiggle?

[@tt_tube7978]

It wasn't perfect but it was incredible. I also loved how when she interrupts the intelligence meeting Ares doesn't stutter because she is a woman he stutters because he recognizes her.

[@poallday]

Wonder Woman was f****** amazing I would watch again and again

[@JordanDC87]

I love that moment where the general throws a gas mask in the room after dr.poison throws in the poison grenade. dr. poison says that mask won't help and he says yes but they don't know that. that moment felt like the general having fun with there evil act.

[@wwaxwork]

Oh that was dark. So very dark when they did that. I can't say I love it as such but I can applaud the writing of such an evil scene. It showed just how evil he was in one small act.

[@JordanDC87]

wwaxwork yeah it kinda reminded me of an evil act someone like Dr. evil or lexx luthor from the Richard Donnor movies. like old fashion villian.

[@Tina06019]

That scene stuck with me. It was very effective at increasing our sense of the "perverted evil enjoyments" of General Lundendorf and Dr. Poison.

[@dashwood09]

Beach battle sequence, FAVORITE battle sequence.

[@NewRockstars]

dashwood09 same and then No Man's Land happened and then it was that and now we can't pick.

[@dashwood09]

New Rockstars and then Steve had to say "Shield!", great sequences. Can't wait for Blu-ray.

[@MrPiccolo-du7ed]

New Rockstars Wonder woman was cool in that scene. I was wondering why werent they shooting her feet though 😐

[@DedoPorno]

That was great. It actually reminded me of a similarly great scene from Spartacus - Blood & Sand.

[@markzambelli]

DedoPorno Or the whole of '300'.

[@umeshrajeev1824]

It wasn't like I expected it to be, because it was better than I expected. The origin story was told the way it was suppossed to. Wonder Woman is and could be the savior of the DCEU.

[@catfinity8799]

Me watching in 2021: Eric looks so different.

[@mohammadhusnain4704]

Me in 2022: Very different.

[@rjkzbkfy9665]

I wish that Patty Jenkins directed all DCEU movie.

[@elcolto2320]

No that would be shit it would be littered with feminism

[@covenofthesilvermoon]

chris pine was great!

[@colton8331]

covenofthesilvermoon Gal Gadot was also great

[@dannyfenlon2476]

brief summary of the movie dianah no!! DiANaH YEs

[@adam.536]

after i watched the movie, im in love with gal gadot lol her accent so cute omg And i think when the final scene where diana suit up is to join batman and superman to fight doomsday

[@NotLoZerish]

AdamZacHD I don't think so before that battle she was on a plane

[@SM-rn8sq]

AdamZacHD that's after BVS cause she finished telling her story

[@littenfire3563]

I love her accent too. It's very pretty and fits since l would imagine wonder woman to have a non American accent.

[@chakryand]

She was in America boarding a plane when she went to fight Doomsday. The end of the movie showed her in Paris/London I think.

[@enobaze7874]

AdamZacHD the last part diana was in paris and a cruise exploded in seine river and she goes to save the day

[@gpaderx6105]

"Steve used a chunk of metal as a shield to launch....." Marvel fans like me: *remembered Avengers 1*

[@gesh_M]

I love your channel, but please... they are called Amazons, NOT amazonians!

[@kulaice]

Lol, reminds me of when a friend of mine would refer to someone he knew from Ecuador as an Ecuadorian.

[@gesh_M]

kulaice they are called Ecuadorian... but, there are some who I've met who call Israelis, Israelian... that's worse 😜

[@negative1994]

I came in expecting nothing from this movie since suicide squad and batman vs superman sucked but wonder woman was really good and I loved it

[@raspberry_picker395]

I liked Batman v Superman And suicide squad idk why people dont like these movies, i enjoyed them very much

[@patchbof3836]

raspberry_picker39 yeah they were great

[@ohaimia]

Not first, just glad to be here.

[@SpaceEngineerErich]

This movie surpassed all of my expectations. It is amazing!

[@EtherealAshie]

I'm going to be honest, Wonder Woman has been my hero since I was a little girl. Those comics are what made me a massive Greek Mythology nerd. That movie was everything I could have hoped for. I would definitely watch it over and over and over again if tickets didn't keep selling out

[@dxamondheart]

Wonder Woman was completely remarkable. The best movie I've ever seen. Can't wait for Justice League!!!

[@lochness5524]

This comment aged badly and good at the same time

[@OpLapDancePikachu69]

I luved wonderwomen one of the best superhero movies I've seen

[@pancaketime9233]

it was great and mabye the wonder woman fight from the justice league trailer was were she went

[@tomtrevino5354]

Thank u for the awesome video as always, and putting subtitle!!

[@jaritsu]

I think what I love most about this channel is how unapologetic, but self-aware nerds all of the commentators are. It always makes for a fun and positive watch, even if I've never seen the show/movie being discussed. Keep up the good work. :)

[@denver7324]

I loved this movie....

[@matthewnolen9951]

She saved B v S by just showing up, WW killed it in her own movie!

[@jasonmontoya4814]

I really... really enjoy this vídeo. Thanks for make this incredible job to us. Keep doing it.

[@LilBruno63]

I usually close the video at the ad read, but that miss cleo ad read was so good

[@KingOfMadCows]

The super crack was weird and unnecessary. Why doesn't Dr. Poison mass produce that and create an army of super soldiers? The super serum should be more than enough to impress the Kaiser into continuing the war. And does Diana's bracers actually have powers in the DCEU? Because it's revealed that her powers come from her being the godkiller. So could the bracer's powers just be an extension of her own powers?

[@kaveeone]

Do ya means bracelets?

[@Sixflat1]

the bracelets are made from the shield of zues

[@Kenspiracy664]

Super crack was to keep up the bait-and-switch about who was Ares, so Diana could fight the general without smooshing him

[@Fazzel]

Making a gas that could kill everybody was a lot easier and quicker than making a gas to create soldiers to kill everybody.

[@petergikonyo7047]

it was the best dc movie ever. hit all the spots.

[@criticallyinsane7554]

this has been my favorite D.C. movie so far and would love to see more videos about D.C!

[@angusdavison]

Such a great breakdown of insights :)

[@user1008]

Just a small question. Is Aquaman also king of the waters under Themyscira's cloak?

[@steelsheen]

Chief good question. I guess we'll find out when the Aquaman movie comes out. they should at least indicate just how far his territory extends.

[@oliverk2712]

Yaaass my fav show in the internet (breakdown video obviously)

[@fubsybum1018]

I love that Miss Cleo bit at the end.

[@TerriSerafio1]

Great channel! Just found it and I love it :)

[@canebro1]

This movie was amazing! It surpassed my expectations, and I had pretty high expectations. Definitely the best DCEU movie by a long shot and better than most MCU movies.

[@robdawg7183]

Best D.C. Movie by far.

[@stevenmubamba2838]

Rob Mitchell not better than the Dark night

[@Fazzel]

I think WW exceeds TDK. The only thing TDK had going for it was Joker.

[@travis675]

Dennis Bowers cooked

[@jlsiow]

gonna go watch this tonight and I'm excited to see it now that i can notice all the little easter eggs and refrences

[@pippin8131]

saw this in theaters twice and cried at the no man's land scene both times. such a powerful movie!!!!

[@RicardoGaspariniLage]

Dark Knight? A Steve flying a giant plane in a suicide mission at the end of a World War was another movie... if I only could recall which one... 😂 I do remember this same movie has also a multi etnic and international group of men performing special tasks during the war... Also, I do remember some shield doing some incredible stuff. Funny thing, this movie ALSO was the last released before the movie that reunited the main character with some powerful allies to fight an alien invasion. But, also was the first movie in the chronology. I wonder what movie it was... 😒

[@CherryLipstick6x3]

RIGHT?

[@johnnyboy3476]

But, she does more badass stuff with her lasso than her shield

[@ZZPikachu]

Don't forget about how they all mourned Steve at the end but no body else cared and are celebrating cause a world war just ended.

[@RicardoGaspariniLage]

TheWorstToBest and in the same place...

[@RicardoGaspariniLage]

TheWorstToBest and in the exact same place...

[@catfeldman3614]

I love that Diana's team was mixed because it wasn't just white people that fought in world war one which is so important

[@Filmman586]

Just loved it! Great job!

[@B4brenda]

love these videos! Your analyses and breakdowns of movies and TV shows make them even more enjoyable. I really liked WW and Im sooo excited for the Justice League movie.

[@ipwnyoudiehaha]

There's a bit in the movie where Wonder Woman walks and I think its a reference to the 97 WW comics where she also walks.

[@henricuspeters]

GREAT movie on ALL levels, yes!! My expectations were met - only thought the last fight scene a bit too long. Great video too!!

[@fencejumper88]

waited an entire year before i watched clips for this movie , it did not disappoint. it was amazing. i love this video , best one about easter eggs. #subscribed

[@RJPManaloART]

the thrones in Themyscira were also in the Injustice game. It was designed that way before the movie.

[@f12mnb]

1. It was a good film. 2. Was it better than Logan? No, but it was very good. 3. Taste is subjective, but at least it is clear that there was a guiding mind behind the film - coherent plot, and consistent themes.

[@ederojeda1746]

I notice that New rockstars forgot to do a full breakdown of Captain America Civil War Movie

[@Randal1862409]

Nice video. Lots of good info and style.

[@himynameisbrianna7754]

ily for making these videos

[@unfabulouslyfabulous]

Wonder Woman EXCEEDED my expectations!!

[@ShaneHampsheirTV]

The whole film was just brilliant!

[@lalremtluangavuite9703]

i dont know why but everytime i saw and talk about that No mans land scene... it makes me wanna burst into tears haha.. anyway great video..

[@justcallmenat8423]

Just watched the movie yesterday. ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! Would sure watch it again!

[@rosewelsh4634]

Missed Fact# Themyscria Plain was an actual place from ancient Greece where Strabo said the Amazons came from. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Themiscyra_Plain

[@pettaduffy6561]

WW was AMAZING!!!

[@cent1130]

great breakdown video

[@pavo1394]

It's not really acknowledged in the movie that Diana's stubborn refusal to not lay off Ludendorff and follow Steve's plan is what causes Steve's death.

[@hsryu5569]

YES IT DID LIVE UP TO MY EXPECTATION

[@hsryu5569]

So relieved

[@MrSoskok]

This is the second best superhero movie right after first ironman. Loved it!

[@prakad97]

great movie..!! and that BGM everytime gives goosebumps..!!

[@aniabell155]

I'm a huge WW and this movie has my heart now and forever.

[@jaretzuniga9244]

Hey

[@robinbrother]

I enjoyed the entire movie right up until the fight with Ares. I felt the fight was as clunky as the fight with Doomsday in Bats vs Supes. It felt tacked on and not part of the overall story. I liked the 'look' of Ares, but the powers and choreography needed work.

[@elbaecc]

Voss' Cleo impression was LoL.

[@jaredlee2323]

The two main battles in this movie were so awesome as well. On the beach and no man's land WOW!

[@gdroff]

they nerfed her in the movie though. remember she's basically as powerful as Superman, meaning she didnt need to block bullets and she can fly. good movie tho.

[@ms.bubs4fun506]

MEFASOLA Is she flying? It looks more like she levitates and takes huge leaps

[@saturobi]

She is strong, very strong, but She is nowhere as powerful as superman. Not even close. A better melee combatant than Supes, yes, absolutely. She is the best melee combatant in the JLA, as said by Batsy himself.

[@Fazzel]

Her powers increased as the movie went along. I think they did indicate she could fly by the end of the movie.

[@Nothing_serious]

In the comics, Hermes gave her the power of flight though I don't really mind if she can't fly.

[@atomicvoid3549]

MEFASOLA I think she was flying during her fight with Ares and at the last scene of the movie

[@sarahwillmott9071]

Best superhero film ever. DC beats marvel

[@ajanaya8055]

Sarah Willmott *Look at Profile Pic* "Yeah, she's clueless."

[@sethdavis3772]

Hell yes I agree! This movie had heart! Phenomenal cast! Fantastic story! Loved it!

[@erikpaige2165]

LOVE. All your videos

[@craycraypancake1039]

its a tie dark night and wonderwoman

[@gtpinto02]

i think that wonder woman was better than gotg2 and logan, very very good really, i was hyped about it and it still exceeded my expectations

[@colton8331]

Guilherme Pinto I would say Gotg,Logan, and WW are all amazing movies that I can't choose which is better

[@gtpinto02]

Slacks yeah they were for sure, but i definetly can choose :D

[@travis675]

Guilherme Pinto it was better than got2 but Logan was on the scale of the dark Knight as a great superhero movie

[@raspberry_picker395]

Gotg2 yes, it was a bit better, but Logan was a bit better than Wonder Woman though. Its like...Logan is 100, ww 99 and gotg2 is 98 imo Actually, ww is 101 because it has Gal Gadot and shes hot af

[@Yellowducky665]

I came in to see Wonder Woman with high expectations, and I was overwhelmed with how the movie exceeded my expectations. The feeling of seeing this badass woman marching into No Man's Land is so overpowering; I loved it so much, definitely the best DC film I've seen.

[@Luke.Raistrick]

I think that boom in the background was a tie in to that scene in the jl trailer where she is in the bank fighting those guys

[@TornadoChickWeatherNetwork]

BEST. SUPERHERO. MOVIE. EVER. Nuff said.

[@CJzeppeli]

Wonder woman: i do not wear a romper!!!, i wear an american flag one piece swimsuit. men

[@nelliecarpenter2022]

I absolutely loved this movie, it exceeded my expectations! Please do more videos! I would like a more in depth video on the comic books and the movie.

[@vicolicious7342]

Great breakdown!

[@hadiyahkhan76]

SHE SURPASSED MY EXPECTATIONS.

[@destinyphongmany5706]

Spoilers?! What are those?

[@isaackoh5602]

love your vid!!!!

[@ekx5120]

Two things I've noticed during this movie: 1. Not a single drop of blood throughout. (ex. when WW kills the German leader, it goes through the floor and down the room below. When she goes below, she sees hers sword but it's completely clean :D) 2. Chris Pine basically acts like Jason Bateman with blonder hair and bigger ears.

[@albertteng1191]

If it got blood and gore then it would be rated X and children cant watch the movie

[@Mark_More_or_less]

*spoilers* The shield jump is like straight from avengers 1 when black widow does it. And Steve taking the plane and scarifying himself is extremely similar to another Steve who did the same thing...Steve Rodgers, in captain America: the first avenger. The movie was a little cheesy at parts and the spin about who Aries is didn't really fit that actor. The mustache and accent pulls me out of the movie in dis belief that he could be an ancient god and son of Zeus but I want to see D.C. Do well so who cares I'm watching every movie they release.

[@diegomilca7284]

i hope one day the DCEU overthrows the marvel universe

[@diegomilca7284]

f**k marvel men

[@alextran3147]

Diego Milca or we could enjoy both?

[@colton8331]

Alex Tran Yes, but I am tired of every marvel fans trashing everything DC

[@shayonchatterjea5420]

Diego Milca too bad it never will. We just got to get over the fact that dc makes shitty movies

[@lilymeichsner1620]

OMG YES! I loved it so much, this was so powering

[@VoiceActorsGR]

Awesome video!

[@Naomi_Boyd]

This was the best female led DC movie since Green Lantern!

[@colton8331]

Richy Rich OML XD

[@shariffalfishar9744]

Ares was a little bit disappointing tbh I was hoping that he could be more badass and more powerful than Wonder Woman

[@Charolette21]

Shariff Al Fishar well they are brother and sister soooooo

[@lazy_monster_gamerz]

ares will appear again, he cant die, juz lose a fight when 1st meet.

[@Charolette21]

Aw Hann Haur I'm not saying he's dead, I said that because they are siblings and have a pretty equally power levels.

[@shariffalfishar9744]

Jacob Albers yes they are siblings and the Ares's armor i was expecting more like in the comics

[@Charolette21]

Shariff Al Fishar it did look kind of dumb without the red eyes and darkened face beneath the helm

[@LoderryPlaysPVP]

Went with my Dad to see it for fathers day we both loved it!

[@Chris_Mc.]

Question 1, Yes

[@michaelhk956]

best movie I have ever watched it is truly a must watch

[@chrodegang8406]

what a troll

[@tonylester3868]

GOD SWORD GETS DESTROYED IN MOVIE, WERE DOES SHE GET THE SWORD IN THE BATMAN VS SUPERMAN MOVIE ????

[@Rommism]

Tony Lester yeah, my very same question too.

[@kierpole117]

Tony Lester its an entirely different sword

[@jackb3318]

In the scene where Wonder Woman was standing in the town that was filled with the yellowish mist, I think that was a reference to how the mescira (idk how it's spelled) was also covered and shielded by a mist.
