So I imagine most of us are familiar with Wonder Woman’s fight with Formicida in the Lynda Carter series. It’s one of only a handful of fights she got into throughout the series with a villain who could actually rival her physically, when Diana first tried attacking her Formicida chucked her across the room. But I’m wondering how people interpret the end of the fight. Formicida tosses Wonder Woman into a bed, Formicida throws a mattress on top of her, and then has her ants do shit. The scene seemingly cuts ahead, as Wonder Woman emerges from the bed and Formicida is nowhere to be seen. This raises the question: was she actually knocked unconscious? She should be able to get out of a mattress in a second. Instead clearly time as passed, the place is too big for Formicida to have gotten out in the timeframe shown. Did Wonder Woman seriously get knocked out by such a goofy villainess In a straight up fight? I can’t think of any other reason why it would have take her so long to get up. Seems she’s not as invincible as she often appears. They never have a proper rematch, so by all accounts, Wonder Woman appears to be the weaker Woman
Did Formicida knock Wonder Woman out?

Mattresses! Wonder Woman's only weakness!

Forgot to mention: Wonder Woman has a real “what happened?” Type expression when she got up, which further indicated to me that she was seriously out of itKOJIMAISGODKOJIMAISGOD wrote: ↑1 year agoSo I imagine most of us are familiar with Wonder Woman’s fight with Formicida in the Lynda Carter series.

It does seem kinda silly, but the only other possibility is that Wonder Woman was stuck under the mattress, which seems even more absurd. Either way, the only 1-v -1 fight in the series where Wonder Woman was defeated, And she was defeated by another woman
Formicida proved to be more than a match for WW. Too bad there wasn't a return match. Another missed opportunity here.

As nice as that would have been, Wonder Woman losing a fight against an opponent she never defeats is, for me at least, pretty great. Realistically, Wonder Woman would have probably won a rematch, being the protagonist and all.
Is it it my imagination, or is she in blackface? I remember having straight black hair and a very pale complexion.

Nah, that was her natural skin tone (she has passed sadly). She might have been mixed race, not sure. She was a pretty accomplished person, known for being a part of a mime-and-dance comedy duo of all things. Pretty neat. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shields_and_Yarnell
Back in the 70s they had a variety show that I used to enjoy watching. Variety shows were quite popular then.KOJIMAISGODKOJIMAISGOD wrote: ↑1 year agoNah, that was her natural skin tone (she has passed sadly). She might have been mixed race, not sure.

They seem to have been going for a Jekyll and Hyde type transformation when she turned into Formicida, so she wears a curly wig, puts on a sexy leotard, and gets a heavy coat of spray tan. I wouldn't call it blackface, though. The makeup isn't that dark, and there are no pantomime racial aspects to it. She acts more coked-up than anything else.
