But her failure was sexy! Big Time. For me, one of the main appeals of Electra Woman is that she is such a crappy superheroine. Like, In her 70s show Wonder Woman made mistakes and lost a few times but on the whole she was a badass. Same goes for Spider-Woman in her cartoon. By contrast Electra Wom...

Rather than looking to Marvel, perhaps DC should look closer to home and take a serious look at the animated DC projects. Most of those direct to video releases are superior to many of the live action movies they have produced.

brdiy

And maybe have the Predator coming out on top occasionally, like how it ends in horror stories. That ought to make it less predictable.

brdiy

Electra Woman was hotter, probably why the show runners found it best to have her defeated more often.

brdiy

We can only wonder what season 4 would have looked like. At the end of Season 3, it appeared like she was getting a super powered partner, so chances of WW needing to be occasionally rescued would have been much higher or so I keep telling myself.

brdiy

The problem with the WW TV show started much earlier when they chose the creator of Ally frickin' McBeal as show runner. Palicki looked great, definitley, which was such a shame...

I don’t mean to take away from this thread, but Lynda Carter had a great and underrated ass. That's America's ass! I've read a lot of complaints she had no tush at all. Exhibit A for research purposes... WW stolen faces.png And here's the toyman examining the goods... deadly toys (94).png

Here's the trailer. Though the costume is still a bit of mystery, except for the fuzzy behind the scene shots, that is.

brdiy

Padded or not, that costume did wonders for me.

brdiy

Power belts are an absurd concept, that's for sure, but I sure did love the watching WW's power belt getting snatched off her lovely waist and seeing her suddenly helpless against ordinary thugs.

brdiy

Reading this, I immediately thought of why Batgirl was so awesome. YC a accomplished ballet dancer before becoming Batgirl. She knew how to move and had the physicality for the character. Deidre Hall was a soap actress at the height of her career. She was a pretty blonde with lacquered hair. I thin...

Do we want her to be competent?

Hell no! I'd take a bumbling Electra Woman and Batgirl any day, over the current crop of superheroines who are "too competent", that they hardly ever get captured or defeated.

I don’t know if she knocked Wonder Woman out, but she definitely got the better of her.

Formicida proved to be more than a match for WW. Too bad there wasn't a return match. Another missed opportunity here.

brdiy

She was rather incompetent as a superheroine, and in a way, that was part of the appeal, I guess. Similar to how we loved Yvonne Craig's Batgirl for getting captured by villains so easily. Seeing them all cocky, knowing that they will be in trouble soon just makes us want to watch them more.

Darna has an evil Black Darna counterpart. I will try to post later when I'm on my laptop though you can look it up on youtube.

brdiy

I like my superheroines to be overcome by seemingly weaker individuals once in a while. Hypnosis kinda evens the odds and that's part of the appeal of hypnosis for me.

brdiy

Matter of opinion, but mine would have to be the minefield scene in the Man Who Could Move the World https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=szyv9iNMze4 I just love the look of concern on her face when her body was under the control of Ishida. And WW in full costume was really in peril. Kind of a cop out th...

brdiy

He said, she said. You'd have to wonder who's actually telling the truth. Seems more people tend to side with Johnny nowadays, though who could really tell?

brdiy

Love it. I didn't think that that was already the end, though and I was expecting the story to continue. Great writing nonetheless.

brdiy

I love watching and rewatching this scene frame by frame.

brdiy

So should Ezra Miller get kicked out? Should we ignore his shenanigans and behavior? Wikipedia says that he was arrested for harassment and minor injuries (this is how it is typified in the Argentine penal code, I guess it must be similar to the American one). Who has to judge him is the justice sy...

Basketball player Charles Barkley said it best: "I don't believe professional athletes should be role models. I believe parents should be role models."

Applies to actors/actresses as well.

This whole cancel culture has gotten way out of hand if you ask me. Sure, it was wrong to "cancel" Johnny Depp, but "cancelling" Amber Heard doesn't solve anything . If anything, it only makes matters worse if any Tom, Dick and Harry can just start a petition to have anyone remov...

brdiy

CBS WW had a number of missed opportunities. And those villains could have caused trouble elsewhere. For instance, the Pied Piper would have easily subdued any other Superheroine's mental defenses. I'm thinking Melissa Benoist's Supergirl for example...

brdiy

Double post :(

brdiy

I can understand that the OTS will be a popular choice with the heroines ass in full display and just right beside the villain's face too. And with a costume such as Lynda Carter's CBS WW, a wardrobe malfunction/nipslip is also a very real possibility (think that upside down scene in the Queen and t...

brdiy

Am I alone in not liking how CBS changed the cut on the bottoms of Lynda Carter's Wonder Woman costume for seasons 2+3 of the Wonder Woman series? I much more preferred ABC's version for season 1! Her diving suit was OMG hot though! My 2 cents. Personally, I loved the CBS costume. Too bad that the ...

Superheroine weaknesses, much like Superheroine powers tend to vary depending on how the writer wants the story to go. We've seen it like a million times on the SG TV series and in probably all superhero themed shows.

brdiy

This piece of news seems relevant in a way...

Japan arrests man who de-pixelated porn using deepfake tech

brdiy

The sexy costume is the biggest part of the appeal for sure as well as the apparent strength of the superheroine (but with vulnerabilities/weakness nonetheless). What arm chair wouldn't want to defeat that?

brdiy

Just caught up reading your other SG work. Can't believe I missed these before!

Great writing. I love my superheroine all powerful and all, but susceptible to getting overwhelmed just as you did with SG here.

brdiy

Then there's the scene with all the gunfire and explosions yet no one seems to die or get hit.

brdiy

Frankly it would be a silly SCENE to be proud of as basically it DOES just objectify her for the sequence in the name of humor... but one is free and should be free to be proud of working out and getting their bodies in shape... and shouldn't need to feel wrong for having it and in a perfect world ...

brdiy

Bless her soul. In this world of extreme woke-ness, we definitely need more of her kind.

With such bad writing, the skirt was practically the redeeming factor for the show and they had to ditch it.

The only thing missing was a good KO and capture ! She was fantastic in the role!

Had this been made for primetime, this would have been a big possibility back in the 70s. We could only imagine.

brdiy

So sad. Definitely not a perfect show but yeah, Joanna was perfect for the part.

brdiy

Well they really need to shift the focus away from Nightwing (and Batman's enemies). Donna, Superboy and Raven are too powerful so they had to be sidelined for much of the show just so Crane can appear to succeed for a while.

brdiy

^yup. Costume or no costume, she was certainly hot.

Spoiler

though it would appear like she's leaving the Titans (again?). Part of me hopes for a spin-off with Dawn/Dove as she said she was going to visit her. Otherwise, I'd love to see these lovely ladies return to the show, and in costumes again!

brdiy

The magic belt idea from Lynda Carter's WW was great. Too bad they practically dropped it after the 1st season. I also would have loved to see a "double debelting" with WW and Wondergirl. Now it's only in the realm of "what if".

brdiy

I like Webwoman's vehicle (was it called the Webtrak?) because it looked like a flying spider and that just makes it awesome!

It's more like a teen angst drama where they cosplay for a few scenes.

Yeah. Eventually, most CW shows turn into this. :(

This season would have been over in 1 episode if Dick thought about unleashing Superboy against the bad guys.

Another probably lost Superheroine video from the Philippines that I'd like to see more than Super Klenk is Zarda from the late 80s. A promo still was posted by the same guy who posted the Supergirl 1973 vid above, but I'm not really hopeful that any video copy ever survived. Zarda was sort of a Dar...

^if you got this from the "Mars Ravelo's Darna..." FB page, I think he's the real deal and seems to be a collector of superheroine stuff. Looks like a good copy of the video too (relatively speaking). Not sure if he's willing to reproduce or post the complete material anywhere.

brdiy

4 episodes in and I'm surprised no one has talked about this yet. The stories are still focused mostly on Dick/Nightwing, but a bit more scenes with Dove in costume so far, though though due to events in episode 3, Dawn/Dove says goodbye to the team. Hopefully this is just temporary, so we still hav...

One thing I would add is I never really like the character He Man. He got his power handed to him. He never earned it. Teela on the other hand had to train her way to her position. So if that were more emphasized then that could make a better story. maybe Teela getting mad Heman just gets a sword t...
