BATWOMAN 3x11 REVIEW | So Awful You'd Think It Was Satire 

Of course Mary has be told it's not her fault for all the things she did as Not Poison Ivy. Otherwise she'd have to take personal responsibility for her actions and that makes the writers very uncomfortable.

One day batwoman will end, but thorias will forever have ptsd

When it starts off like that, you know Thorias is having a bad day, but you're getting a good video.

"Look at what you did for yourself without me being around!" Boy, won't Jada be surprised when she finds out her daughter's life is only successful because she graverobbed a plane crash. By the way, good job "protecting her from Marcus" by trying to expose her embezzlement and get her fired as CEO.

The writers actually think that finding the Bat Suit and being handed an unearned position is "accomplishing so much"

Satire requires some intellect, we know that's no where to be found in Batwoman.

Firstly: Alice: need the joy buzzer to bring back my empathy. Anyone with a brain: didn’t you get zapped in arkham in season one and ended up wanting to KILL YOUR SISTER ONLY TO KILL YOUR “BROTHER”, MOUSE. Also didn’t enigma reverse your memory loss of ocean which supposed to bring back your empathy? Secondly: remember the last episode of season 2 when Ryan said I can’t win without the suit? Let’s look at the scoreboard, shall we? Batsuit Ryan: barely beaten Victor Zsaz. Got recked by Circe Kate even with Alice helping Ryan. And got put in a freezer only for Luke to save her. Zero suit Ryan: fought Circe Kate to a draw 1v1, defeated half of the GCPD on her own, and Brock Lesnared Victor Zsaz. Again, POWER LEVELS!!! What's that anymore.

Okay Marquis could at least pretend to be sane when he's in public, that's what he was doing before his black joker "Reveal". But the writers are afraid if he's not acting like the joker we'll forget he is the joker

20:54 Didn't she already have that? Wasn't she adopted by a good woman? Wasn't that why she fantasized about going all stabby-stabby on Alice in whatever episode it was?

The Joker made every one of his gadgets. But of course they have to have a contrived woman creator because we gotta lessen the men by all means.

How the hell have Jadda and Ryan "Stormed the corporate patriarchy" Jadda got the company after her husband died and Kate gave it to Ryan who has done Shit all with it. Neither of them earned it!

Sophie has become the most wasted and ruined character in the entire show, like not only does she have no reason to still be in the show especially after Kate and her dad left BUT the writers have reduced her to nothing but a love interest to EVERY. CHARACTER. IN. THE. SHOW. Honestly why didn't the writers made Sophie a secondary/backup Batwoman just in case if something happens to Ryan or Ryan's actor ever leaves the show Anything's better than her being a love interest to either Ryan Kate or Renee

On one hand, I've always hated this show and wished it was canceled, but on the other, i wish they renew it for 10 more seasons, just so that i can watch Thorias reviews. Nothing else makes me laugh like this. 🤣🤣🤣

Caroline Dries and company are so desperate to score that fourth season renewal, they went to the "Will they/won't they" well with Ryan and Sophie, making it a glorified soap opera. Not surprisingly, it scored them the best ratings the series has had in two years. I guess the promise of "DTS" got the fan boys and fan girls to tune in.

This show has been picked up for a fourth season. How low can the brain cells go

We all know that Judy Reyes´ character will be redeemed in the end, because she´s a woman.

Your reviews, Thorias, have been a revelation to this feminist I'll tell ya. First, I never realized that those depictions of women in film from the times of silent movies and the Gish sisters and Mary Pickford until modern movies weren't really heroic images at all. They don't count because they are the result of a blindness wrought by patriarchy. Actually, real women heroes are no heroes at all until they become rude, crass, entitled, selfish, insensitive arrogant, preening men. Second, how in the world could I "relate" to characters on screen who don't look exactly like me, even if they are brave, self-sacrificing, skilled, intelligent, clever and moral paragons. No, I reject patriarchy's chains that have induced me to believe that classic heroes have something to say about today's female heroes. Now I realize that sexism has sinisterly prodded me into thinking real heroes believe in personal responsibility, duty, moral integrity and earning victories. How could I have fallen for such a meretricious ideology? Finally, I understand now that the tropes of good (heroic) storytelling are relics of an evil age dominated by men. Building character so I empathize in some way, substantive development of a recognizable and honorable soul, a story arc that makes sense and is consistent with the rules of a particular world-building construct, showing and not telling, you know the usual sordid stuff, that's just so much detritus alien to female heroes. If the new female-centered stories insult me, disrespect women's inherent strengths, reject all moral duty and aspiration, I need to accept it. Apparently, it's good for me, although these new women heroes I don't recognize in me at all.

I feel for poor Thorius, I really do. But his suffering is our entertainment, so.... Maybe the CW getting bought will be the death knell for this show.

We can only hope that Pattinson’s Batman doesn’t make this look adequate by comparison.

To be fair, I'd skip the lesbian stuff, anyway, IF I actually besmirched any of my devices, by playing a second, of this show. If "girl on girl" is a selling point, they haven't sold me on it. Even if I was into that, the characters are so unlikeable, and frustrating in their refusal to learn, grow, get killed off, or anything remotely interesting, and the continued, outright insult to the legacy of my favorite superhero, that I couldn't be bothered to be invested. They are playing a game, now. We all know this should've been cancelled, before it even aired one episode. They are outright defying any common sense. When's the Season 4 announcement?

Emotions are seen as more important than logic in 'real' life now adays😞

I have to ask Marcus what's to stop any of these serial killers he released from Arkham for killing him and going on a brutal rampage through Gotham city if I was the real Joker then they would fear him but Marcus is nothing like that.

I watch practically all Batwoman reviewers, you, Babyface, JLongbone etc. Because of that a lot of previous and scenes from the show pop up. Out of the morbid curiosity I decided to check how it really feels to watch it. It was so cringe and awkward, those people try to be badass and cool while doing and saying the stupidest things. From today's episode was ''Team Bat vs whatever Black Joker and his gang is named''. And the comments, ''team batwoman are so badass together'' or ''Ryan and Sofie love each other so much''. Did we watch the same thing ?

I'm surprised you didn't point out how stupid the water awakening Markus was. They apparently treat Markus like a plant. He got hit with the desiccating stuff, but apparently a little water dripping on his skin is enough to revive him for some reason, as if he can just absorb the moisture through his skin and recover like he's fine. And this is just a regular person, not someone with supernatural healing powers or anything. So why anyone would imagine water on his skin would miraculously cure his dehydration is beyond me. Apparently the writers don't even know that human beings have to drink water to rehydrate them, simply taking a shower is not enough. This is an all-time low in science and biology for them. This is even more stupid because if you were trying to keep someone alive that's been dehydrated like that (and they were because they wanted to fix him for Jada), any medical professional would already put them on a saline drip already. So Markus would have already been being injected with water.

I just like listening to your Batwoman reviews because it breaks down just how RIDICULOUSLY STUPID the writers are. It also helped me pass the day at work. But i do feel bad that you need to suffer for an hour every week to deliver this content. Commenting to fight the algorithm and to let Thorias know he's appreciated.

The age of Narcissism has brought us some of the worst writing imaginable.

Poor Thorias is starting to look like he's going to end up completely losing his mind and become the next joker. Just wait until Gotham Knights comes out, being produced by the same people as Batwoman and Super Girl. 🤣

I'm heartfully sorry for your sufferings Thorias! I don't watch Batwoman or anything on the CW. Your commitment to analyzing the droppings from this series. You are a courageous man, sir. Props to you! P.S. Sounds like you may have been screaming your head off. Please take care of yourself.

I know this show likes to retcon things to hell and back but this, "Ryan accomplished so much from nothing" is flat nauseating. She literally didn't even know she was the acting CEO until Luke filled her in on it! Everything she has she got from Kate. Including Sophie! This narrative the show is pushing is so out of any context of reality that it's like the writers simply forgot what is going on in the show!!!

I’m watching this along with you. The episodes usually seem long since I have to keep pausing to process what the fudge I just watched. I don’t know how Marquis had the legal right to let out insane criminals. I mean law enforcement is incompetent in Gotham so I’m not surprised. How did Marquis let these criminals walk inside Wayne’s Enterprise without anyone notifying the authorities? I guess no one works there and the company doesn’t have security. How the fudge did Victor get to the Batman signal without getting arrested? Why would he ever be on work release? I had to skip the last scene because I honestly do not care. I can say that Ryan is a better character than Kate though.

I'm more convinced than ever that every decision in this show is designed to entice Thorias to suicide.

Watching his and Az's reviews makes part of my day more bearable. As weird as it may sound. Hugs from Brazil.

I personally don't find the idea of a superhero team struggling to juggle the responsibility of fighting crime and leading a normal life a bad thing. Sadly, it seems Caroline Dries seems more interested in exploring the latter than the former. And it can't be a coincidence that the first episode where Luke proves to be competent happens to be the one that his actor had a hand in being involved in behind the scenes.

If you have continued to watch Batwoman at this point, then congratulations you are a bigger masochist than frigging Carnage.

Come on Thorias, you're at the home stretch. It's the last lap. You can make it!!! We're rooting for you.

Dude, you are giving this show EXACTLY what it deserves and it is AWESOME. Shows like this need to be called out for the crap that they are. You're doing good work. Also, only a few more episodes to go.

Yeah that episode was brutal, I couldn’t wait for it to be over

Don't think I'm the only one noticing a trend with writers having a character as the villain: pointing out rational points of criticism and framing it as an evil act. As if shedding a light of how stupid their stories are is something a bad guy would do and not something someone with common sense would do.

You know, I've never watched an episode of Batwahman, but I just tune in to watch Thorias's histrionics.

I think between Thorias and Az there are probably more people watching the reviews than there are the show itself.

Kiki is, thankfully, at least an original character. So at least they aren't buggering up more Batman lore. Interesting note, this episode was apparently the directorial debut of Camrus Johnson (Luke's actor), so you can blame him for the lions share of your suffering this time around.

I live vicariously through you jlongbone az and I think one other. Watching your guys brains take the cancer so I don’t have to makes me feel all well in my tum tum

If Kiki is the one that made the joy buzzer and she can fix it, how is there only one buzz left? Can’t she just make another one? As far as I could tell, there isn’t no magic macguffin to it. Go to a parts store and make another one. I was thinking before this episode that I should take a shot every time relationship talk was mentioned but I’m so glad I didn’t because I didn’t want to die from alcohol poisoning.

Does it make things worse knowing this is Luke’s actor Camrus Johnson’s directorial debut?

Thank God this show is on break now. Three weeks may not seem like much, but it's something. How's it going with the CW being sold? Because it needs to happen sooner than later.

I'm going out on a limb here, but my conspiracy sense is telling me that there's no such TV show as 'Batwoman', and Thorias is just reading the nonsensical silliness written in crayon by his 8-year old next door neighbour. Because I'm just going to reject the reality that this nonsense could actually exist in this world

Your intro showed better acting and camera work than any episode of batwoman! Legitimately your acting was really good man.

The funniest thing is us watching every Thorias, Az, JLB, EFAP and ProcrastiTara Batwoman videos - as a result on aggregate consume more Batwoman essence than most of those Nielsen-approved viewers.

If anyone here knowing the MBTI's cognitive functions, I kinda knew Marry to be the most emotionally fragile personality type, 'the unhealthy Introverted Feeling (FI) type.' Look it up.

Ooof that opening. Thorias already off to a bad day. Lol Hahaha. Exactly what the hell has Ryan accomplished? Everything she has was stolen or just miraculously handed to her on silver platter.

Remember when Thorias didn't know Mary's name and she was the only redeemable character in his eyes?

Only thing i know about Roulette is a supervillianess thats really good at calculating odds for games like black jack and other games. She doesnt have any powers and has nothing to do with the joker. Shocker i know

The Writers of this show are shameless about their Man-Hating and Scissoring track minds. It's literally in their twitter handle bio. It all makes literally 0 perfect sense... 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣 PS: You left out "KILL ME!" on the Bingo Card. 😂😂🤣🤣

Our only solace is the hope that everyone involved in this show, including the actors, writers and Caroline Dries herself, are fully aware of how much mockery, ridicule and derision their show receives on a daily basis. I get a small amount of pleasure knowing that almost certainly, these people know that the tv watching world at large absolutely HATES their creation.

Maybe we could strap the show's writing staff into a interconnected chain of metal headbands and THEN hit ONE (i.e. ALL) of THEM with the joy buzzer? Lord knows, their writing shows that they can NOT "put themselves into someone else's shoes" (i.e. EMPATHY)! So? Maybe it would do them ALL some good?

I feel like you should take a look at the news surrounding a Gotham Knights show on the CW that has NO connections to Batwoman and is set in its own Universe with the concept of Batman gets murdered and Batman's rebellious adopted son (Jason Todd) has to form a unlikely alliance with the children of Batman's villains who get framed for killing Batman

In my opinion Marcus being the next Joker makes absolutely NO sense and they really should have just made him the next Two-Face Which wouldn't have been that hard if they revealed that Marcus has a jekyll-and-hyde / multiple personality disorder ever since he was a child and growing up he had looked up to Harvey Dent BUT when he became the villain / criminal known as Two-Face Marcus started to imitate him even getting himself his own coin and making a majority of his choices and decisions with it throughout his life and how he started to display Two-Face like mannerisms even going so far as to refer to himself in the 3rd person due to his worsening Multiple Personality issues Eventually it's revealed that Marcus had been running a criminal Empire right under his mother's nose until she finds it out contacts the FBI who raids his business and Marcus gets arrested and is sentenced to 10 years in Blackgate due to his Mom testifying against him and he promises revenge until he escapes

Having a writing staff of ALL Soap-opera writers is kind of making sense now. Constant obsession with mellodrama, having the climax of every story arc always be resolved with a scisoring session, All talking, No action. Does it remind you of soap operas? It should. By my estimation, Batwoman is just a soap opera, with the trappings of "vaguely bat-person related IP" scattered through it. Its why the action is so bad, the story non existant , and most of the script devoted to simulating actual interpersonal relationships through melodramatic character moments written by someone with less finnese than a tween writer of Tumbler Sailor moon Slash Fics.

I want to do a script re-write of Batwoman and make the show at least have consistency and not have a plot point dropped or altered for no good reason every single episode. But then I noticed if I did that I would likely have to watch the show multiple times and that just ain't happening.

I always watch the Show First and Reviews later and everytime I watch Batwoman I'm going to be Insane at this point that I'm taking the Joker's Rulebook that I Dream that every single one of these Characters would suffer Jason Todd on Crowbar Style hahahahaha HAHAHAHA😐Sorry almost lose my Cool.

Your Rants ARE AMAZING!!I look forward to your reviews!!! Don't EVER STOP!!! You make my work go by so much BETTER!!!

The way the writers at the CW treat this show has me terrified for what they’re going to do to Gotham Knights.

Oh my goodness, Thorias. I really feel what you were going through, while you were reviewing this so boring sounding episode.

You can tell reviewing these episodes are really getting to you because, at one point, your voice sounds incredibly raw from what I can only guess was a good few hours of yelling. Thank you for going through this Hell for us. (your poor throat, though).

I'm one of those poor unfortunate souls who watches Batwoman (due mostly to being a huge Batman nerd and being able to find entertainment in even the worst Batman-related media) and yes, there is some serious time dilation with this show. I mean, with the nonsensical plot, terrible acting, abysmal dialogue, and long boring scenes about lesbian love triangles and petty drama, it's no wonder it makes an hour feel like an eternity. But I like to see the episodes for myself before I watch your reviews, Az's overviews, and Jlongbone's reactions.

I honestly watched Batwoman up until maybe season 1 episode 7… it was just more entertaining to watch a reviewer meltdown than meltdown myself watching the actual show.

Alice is a psychopath. The buzzer will not work on her. She has feelings. Her most important feelings are the urge to watch others suffer.

Can't believe we avoided a 'Kill Me' bingo after all that

How can Mary all of sudden fight? She doesn’t even have the poison ivy powers anymore. My goodness, what a disaster.

Personally, I am still annoyed that the writers don't understand the difference between ASPD and being maniac and crazy. Not having empathy has jack all to do with being coco for CoCo Puffs and just wanting to set everything on fire. And just how MANY goddman excuses are they going to give for Alice's behavior? First it was because she was kidnapped and tortured as a child. Then it was because Kate abandoned her. Then it was because she was brainwashed. THEN it was because of nanites. Now its because of a bad electroshock treatment? WTF? What does it take for a women to have personal responsibility in this universe?

As someone who has watched every batwoman episode I 100% agree this episode felt like it went forever it needs to end soon.

26:44 who else is interested in seeing what he was doing off screen and uncensored swearing

The mom pushing Ryan away to protect her from Marcus makes no sense.. he wasn’t even “crazy” yet.. he was like 2-3 years old

I don’t know what's more comical Thorias' commentary, or his own theatrics...lol. A true showman.

Thank you for putting yourself through this for us again.. cause I'm never gonna do it myself

I have never and will never watch an episode of Batwoman, but I have loved every single one of Thorias' reviews

For Gotham being destroyed by Poison Ivy would be a good thing

At this Point Jada is blatently an Accomplice to Marquis.😑 I mean, she keeps him being a Psychopath a secret, even when he's literally willing to kill her for fun, & she's also covering up his deeds (somehow). Not to mention she literally Insighted Hatred to Batwoman, which is basically How he's fulfilling his plan... All because he 'doesn't mean to & has a Brain-Issue'😤

I half expected them to make Kiki Roulette into an alias for Harley Quinn just so they could drag her into this shit.

I truly do enjoy the torture you put yourself through for our entertainment! Thank you!

Thor, why do you do this man? At a point, is the money and views worth the Psychological and Physical toll this is taking on you?

26:40 Here's when Thorias goes berserk.

Batwoman's privilege to use good Batman stuff across the board and somehow find a way to make them lame is upsetting. This season alone went through Knighfall's breakout set up, Grant Morison's The Black Glove club, and The Joker Movie Joker style and Bat-sibling dynamic and yet it they can't cut it reinventing them for the worse.

I swear, if the Joker was still around, he would have blown all the city up for what they done to his and Batman's legacy !

All the characters do in this show is sit around and talk about their feelings rather than it being a action-adventure superhero show?

Kiki's therapist was Harleen Quinzel? Harleen Quinzel... is Harley Quinn. So I guess she managed to get her doctor credentials back despite being the Joker's girlfriend and a psychopathic killer and criminal.

Maybe the last joybuzzer zap should be used on Caroline Dries. Can't go anywhere but up. Also, "Her psychiatrist was Harleen Quinzel, if that means anything"? You know that's Harley Quinn, right?

I love seeing these videos every week, it makes me so happy that you do this for us. Unfortunately the finale is coming soon, so this won't last forever. What about seasons 2 through 5 of supergirl? I am sure there is plenty of content in those seasons to work with. Please give it some consideration, we all really love your content.

"Derivative entertainment" is a term that describe the modern phenomenon whereby the audience hates the underlying content, but enjoys the critical content derived from said shit underlying content.

... This is the worst. I thought the Poison Ivy episode was abysmal. If that episode was abysmal, this episode is just an hour of torture. I've only been watching these as well, but hang in there.

Honestly you're the reason I even started watching batwoman. (SO THANK YOU VERY MUCH, I APPRECIATE IT) I didn't watch First season, so that's a plus.

"ALL THE PEOPLE IV'E MURDERED BY LETTING YOU LIVE!"-Bruce Wayne to Joker Dark knight returns even Batman fucking admits it. but the difference is that is an intentional character flaw that is woven into heroes like batman,Daredevil,Spiderman etc then not killing their enemies makes them compelling unlike this show where it's just shear stupidity.

Damn. Retcons 'R' Us' profit margins are through the roof with the amount of retconning they do

Thorias I salute you for going through this shitshow for are entertainment and also your other youtube brethren like Az from HeelvsBabyface is also suffering as well and the fact that both of you are still with us is nothing short of a miracle at this point. Because of how bad this show is.

This channel is like the golden years of TGWTG again without all the bullshit my naive child brain willfully ignored. Earned a sub for sure.

When these characters talk about feelings, I get annoyed. When Batman does, I'm invested. Why? Because he does his job first.

You are better than I , I checked out years ago. Your reactions are hilarious and worth watching.

The most important thing in this episode is the scissoring.

Kiki Roulette sounds like a third-tier Bond girl.

You know Thorias your anger is almost therapeutic for me you post the Batwomen videos on the last day of my work week and it helps me get through my night shift when I'm rundown and tired but your rage makes me laugh P.s any plans to review Naomi or make video discussing it epic failure?
