DCAU Wonder Woman is a very angry person. 

She has a nice balance between angry and compassionate unlike some other Wonder Woman which did her a major Injustice

I know you were fighting back insane diarrhoea when editing this, proud of you bro..

Wonder woman deserved her own series in DCAU, she was a good character in a lot of episodes.

Her scene with Toyman is one of the best in JLU. "I'm gonna punch a hole in your head" without a hint of embellishment

I love when she was about to cave Toyman’s skull in after she thought he killed Superman and Flash says “we don’t do that to our enemies” and Diana just says “we? b-, you speaking French?”

In the DCAU, Wonder Woman started off as someone who didn't know about the world outside of her island, yet still wanted to help. Not to mention that she was raised with a warrior's mentality and an Amazonian's distrust of men. Plus, the constant battles against villains. Along with her temporary exile from her home and mother due to her decision to help mankind. These factors easily could play a role in the anger that Wonder Woman has shown throughout justice league and justice league unlimited, along with the fact that she does care. While Wonder Woman does sometimes need help to control her anger, I like how she does at times control her anger on her own. There is more to Diana than just her anger and warrior mentality. Wonder Woman does care.

DCAU is the definitive version of DC as far as I'm concerned.

In Wonder Woman's defense, the DCAU had an extinction level super villian threat every episode! I can see how being exiled from her home and her mother because she wanted to defend mankind effected her. She wants to go home but she can't because every week someone like Lex Luthor tries to take the planet over or become a god! That probably gets annoying after a few consecutive weeks of that type of stress.

Susan Eisenberg is by far my favorite Wonder Woman. Her voice has so much power behind it.

A dang shame we never ever got an animated series about this version of Wonder Woman. This design and of course Susan Eisenberg voice is chefs kiss perfect. I wonder why we never got one.

That one scene where she tells Hawkgirl “I should leave you to burn” but still free her sums up Wonder Woman in a nutshell. She’s a warrior but still does what’s right.

DCAU Wonder Woman was one of my biggest childhood crushes.

Wonder Woman is passionate, this can make her very aggressive, but also very kind.

Diana's characterization here reminded me of how she was written in Kingdom Come. But as we moved forward in the series. Diana slowly gets to develop to the Diana that we knew & love from the comics. And I LOVE that. And that's why she's still my fav depiction of Diana. Because we see her grow. And Susan CRUSHED it as Diana. Her voice is engrained in me ever since I was a kid. Could not hear a Wonder Woman quote without her voice playing in my head.

DCAU wonder woman lived up to the old quote "wehn i deal with my enemies i DEAL WITH THEM"

still one of the best wonder women portrayals i've ever watched

I mean she is angry when she has to be and definitely sometimes lets her emotions get the better of her but she is also kind, compassionate, caring, stubborn, opinionated, highly competitive and very outgoing. She tries to avoid conflict but if pressed she will engage in battle and will always defend her friends. DCAU Wonder Woman is fearless and focused on her objectives. She will not hide from her actions and always makes herself available to face the consequences. Diana is an unapologetic feminist. However, she does see her people's bias as problematic boarding on xenophobic.

Hephaestus is just trying to make the best product for his customer. That outfit was bespoke.

I was scared for the villains near her

For even Batman to have feelings for her and vice versa, being able to handle each other just showed her amazing character

Can we have this kind of writing back in today's world? Mature, respectful, unbiased, thought provoking, instead of the low effort trash we are being given.

It's funny, in Justice League Superman overall is more stern and dare I say more angry. Same as wonder woman. Meanwhile Batman mellows out.

The best Wonder Woman will always be Susan Eisenberg

This sshow made me love wonfer woman. Despite being the oldest person in the league. Shes the newest to being a hero. Shes brash. Angry and aggressive. It makes a fun dynamic. Shes also super confident as a woman..really interesting character. I also love love that she loves my favourite hero batman

This channel makes me feel a lot less weird for absolutely obsessing over Smallville and integrating Clarks personally and morals into my own. It drives me nuts when people say this about tv and such but Smallville raised me.

This has always and will always be my *FAVORITE* Version of Wonder Woman ever It's seriously a crying shame she didn't get her own TV show. She was definitely the most interesting character on the show

Major props to Michael York as Aries, brilliant line delivery at 6:04 😂

I don't think she is angry, I think she is deliberate. I love it. She is my favorite character in JL and JLU.

Angry? She just seems like a soldier/commander in the field. It’s her game face. now if you see her kicking puppies in civilian clothes on the way to get a coffee and bagel you have a problem.

I love how you make me look back at all these series. This new unlicensed background music you use is so peaceful 😂 I literally woke up to it playing in my head.

While i understood her dislike of Hawkgirl after what happened, i felt like her holding onto the grudge was a bit out of character. Even BATMAN forgave Hawkgirl. Diana is not a bad character, but her intense aggression is a little off for a millenia old warrior

Trauma ? i was traumatized once they put me on an essay, a video essay video essays give me trauma. . . Trauma?

Shes passionate about fighting for justice, but gets wore down by the apparant lack of progress. Theirs always someone letting their ego and hatred dominate their life and cause suffering for others. Love is a hard emotion to find and use.

Best version of wonder women period and she's not that angry i mean she did stop hating on men which is one of the reasons this is the best version of her she actually learns Never mind she's really angry after i watched a bit more of the video and i love the stock scream they used here 1:09😂

In my youth, DCAU Wonderwoman was my crush. Next to Hawkgirl and Huntress.

Even when Wonder Woman was at her peak in the DCEU in 2017 I thought the DCAU version still had her conflicting views, beliefs, and goals that seemed more fleshed out than her live-action counterpart. And then WW 1984 came in to wreck so much potential. Gal Gadot deserved as much love for her character as Susan Eisenberg got.

Susan Eisenberg will always be my Wonder Woman. Eat your heart out Gal Gadot.

Man I do love me strong warrior women that don't take any shit but are still effeminate. Diana and Shayera always get me actin up.

Interestingly, the North Kaznian general that Ares sells the Annihilator to has an attitude far more in line with the god Mars, Ares Roman counterpart. Specifically, war for the sake of defending territory, rather than simply for the sake of war itself.

Well… ya… of course she is? She’s an immortal princess from an island of powerful Amazonian warriors who lived on an island for her whole life. Honestly with the stuff people said and did in this show she showed an impressive level of restraint.

Of course Diana has anger issues. But that's what makes her awesome. That an her unwavering sense of justice. And the episode with Hawk and Dove was kinda of a throwback, with Kevin (Hawk) & Wayne (Dove) was great

Ya she’s the only one of the trinity that’s a killer and born warrior,she’s very passionate

8:46 I know totally unrelated, but having Aquaman at the justice league meeting table gave me so many happies, since the episode here was an homage to the justice friends show. Also because Aquaman is the only member who can walk around shirtless with his chiseled pecs out and I had such a huge crush on this version of Aquaman!

I've gotta say, your style of videos has really inspired me to change how I go about my scripts, and has helped me start to gradually develop a style I'm much happier with. I hope that doesn't come across the wrong way, I just think you have a fantastic way of going about these topics, and I almost always click on your videos the moment they come out

Diana was a fun character to see in action

Another interesting piece of subtle characterization in the episode is that Hawk's eyes are whited out while Dove's aren't which gives you more of the impression that Dove is actually paying attention to what is going on around him.

Lol, great vid but my Batman will ALWAYS be the Batman who looks the whole JL in the face and says "You want me to WHAT?!"

It's nice to know Jason Hervey from the Wonder Years plays Dove.

Incredible video as always. Thank you.

This was very well assembled. I really enjoyed your breakdown and analysis.

Your videos help me appreciate not only these charcters on a deeper level but you shine a light upon the aspects of them that prior, i am blind to. thank you for showing me hope and beauty in an otherwise Dark world.

Oh I’m loving the new thumbnail motif you got going on rn

I'm having bad days, it was really good to watch this video. Thanks 💛

While I feel Diana has her reasons for holding onto her distrust and her grudge against Hawkgirl because of Hawkgirl proving she wasn't throwing in her lot with the league and proving her loyalty with them, she is still that naive warrior princess in that she doesn't consider the fact that while yes, while she cares about loyalty above all else, and Hawkgirl also values that kind of loyalty, Diana never considered that Hawkgirl's loyalty was first to her people, not to a bunch of people she only met like a year ago As for the rest of her anger issues throughout the show, she had never had a taste for how the grain of life ran outside of themyscira, while she got that world ending threats were a once every so often kind of thing, she never got that things just below that that most heroes deal with on the daily happen well, on the daily. For the longest time she felt distant because she didn't want to get attached to anything, but then she saw that if she continues to pursue the ideal of seeing justice be done, she might well be here for god knows how long, and that ticked her off that helping to continue seeing justice be done in the world outside of her tiny little island wasn't ever going to have just one easy fix. That's why she was particularly angry in that opening of the episode where she was like, "I just wanted one day off where I could pretend that the ideal goal I so greatly want to see accomplished could actually happen without me being there to keep it going" and that's also why in that same vein of anger, therein lies her reason why she started to get truly attached to the league and some of it's members in particular, namely Bruce and John, and why Hawkgirl's betrayal continued to hurt, because once she had "accepted" that helping to bring justice to man's world wasn't just a one and done job, she began to see that the league truly were her new sister/s(and brothers) in her new isolated floating fortress in the sky and she would be able to rely on them to always help her see out that ideal goal, and when Hawkgirl, a women, the kind of person she had grew and known for being able to trust to the ends of the earth for the last how ever many thousands of years on her island home, when hawkgirl betrayed the league, she particularly betrayed Diana in her mind because of that context

I find it weird seeing superman having a temper. That seems like the edge lord super man for writers who can't write anything more complex that "superman is evil because I'm so CREATIVE."

I always felt bad for the reasonable general that got assasinated by Ares

I love how you use DC and many other comic based media to showcase behaviors we can relate to I really do love it ❤❤❤

Hell hath no fury like a Wonder Woman scorned.

She's not angry she's just a fierce warrior princess

1:50 dcau Diana wants to live among humanity and enjoy the richness of "man's world". She is basically Ariel a Disney princess. But imagine if Ariel was also a warrior of Atlantis. And that instead of going on her date Ariel had to keep stopping nearby crime in Eric's kingdom.

Just like almost every character in this show they are the ideal versions of the characters i had in my mind reading about them growing up. This version of wonder woman was perfect.

The scene at 9:39 is my favourite. Love Batman’s response

Justice league episodes ran for years in a disjointed loop where I live, so that moment when Diana almost killed Toyman was the first time I've seen the cartoon knocking at the walls to show how thin is the separation between a heroic teen's cartoon and a murderous gore fest.

WW of the live action universe perfectly captures this character. I love the 2017 movie. It was so damn good wish we had more like it

I like that her father is hades

what a wonderful woman

The angry DCU Wonder Woman is a result of a drive to focus on her as a warrior Amazon around early 2000. This is when she went to using a sword a lot as opposed to relying on her powers and lasso. She is comparable to Superman in power, but she needs a sword where as he does not. Wonder Woman is an angry agent of peace. The saddest scene is in JLA Dark where she stops a person plagued with visions of monsters from hurting others. When the victim says they see monsters, Wonder Woman says the only monster she sees is the victim- this is the bad ass Wonder Woman who is tougher than any of the makes around her. That message is peace is a drive to be strong and sarcastic.

I know you probs won't see this, but it had to be said. 1. I've watched and thoroughly enjoyed four of your video essays relating to the DCAU. I have always loved the writing within this universe, your stellar analysis helps me better understand that adoration. 2. Wonder Woman IS angry, but what I always loved about this characterization is that the frustration is justified. We can get behind the desire to pummel Mongul, hold a grudge against Shayera, or beat a murderous Toyman. This relatable rage is why the Hawk and Dove episode work so well. 3. I love how you edit, especially your endings. They feel very narrative and poetic. Reminds me of the old amvs where folks would edit together characters from different movies to tell a story.❤ 4. Will you ever do a vid on wonderbat? Asking for a friend....

Kind of interesting trivia: Aries was voiced by British actor Michael York best known for his roles in Logan's Run and Austin Powers.

DCAU still the best Wonder Woman 😤

I know this sounds kinda cliche and ridiculous, but i just rewatched all the cars movies and realized that lightning mcqueen had a really interesting ark. The first movie setting him up for becoming a legend, the second is learning what makes him one, and the third is learning to pass on his legacy. its actually really poetic. i think it would be a really good video idea.

DCAU Wonder Woman was really hit and miss, but the lows were lower than the highs were high. I'll just get this out of the way first: her crush on Batman was not a good thing. People complain that it often felt like Batman was written as a self-insert, and having the hottest female in the universe crush over him (despite his abrasive personality that rubs everyone else the wrong way) was the cherry on top. It really seemed like it was written more to re-emphasize how cool and suave the writers thought Batman was as opposed to giving WW any real character depth. But other than that, we had stuff like her immature squabbling with Hawkgirl and her over-the-top anger and it's really not a great take on the character. I mean, what reason did she have for taking Hawkgirl's portrayal more personally than the others, other than that they bickered throughout most of the series? And why did they bicker in the first place? Then there's the fact that WW was treated as the team rookie in the beginning instead of being one of the elder statespeople that other heroes look up to, and how she didn't get to earn her status as a distinguished Amazon among her peers and instead secretly escaped from the island with the stolen armor. I'm just shaking my head thinking about how they could've written a better version of this character. But to the show's credit, Paradise Lost was a good, emotional episode with palpable heartbreak.

I recently rewatched the 2 parter where one of the Amazons tries to kill all men, showing the unhealthy prejudices of the Amazons and Diana herself. Was hoping that would get a mention in your analysis of her but I still liked your video. I always enjoy your videos.

Christ bless you, i love DCAU and your content thank you

When Diana asks Hephaetus how to defeat the Annihilator, I think he says, "With that attitude you'll never defeat it." Thus, he told her the secret.

Great peace of work.

She should have own tv show

She was raised on an island of spartanesque women who, while teaching her a fairly high moral code... also taught her that men are the antithesis to everything her tribe stands for.... yeah, I'd say she has issues.

"She's a rebel, she's a saint, she's the salt of the earth and she's dangerous" thought that would slip by an old green day fan, huh?

She is a bit angry

green day refrence in the sections of the video, nice.

But flip side, she is one of the most compassionate and loving out of everyone in the league

My only issue I have with this episode is that the "Dove" mentality is all well and good for interpersonal situations, but is less applicable on the international level.

Diana proved right to turn herself in to n Waller. That move saved Bruce's life.

Diana is always a hothead and usually has that annoying "holier-than-thou" warrior mentality. Plus, she can really hold a grudge, and all that together is why she is never the PR person or tactician of the League like Clark or Bruce. But at the end of the day, if the writers know what they're doing, she's still a compassionate hero who does what's right, even if it makes her sad or angry.

And her blonde sister tried to eliminate all men.

Still my favorite version.

that music opening deserves a sub

I've been wondering for some time, what are your thoughts on Equinox from the Batman: The Brave and the Bold series.

Not the angle I expected. And you went the whole episode without saying that she gets the last line of the entire DCAU. "And the adventure continues" indeed. I'm sure your pretentious brain could find a fun tie to giving her that line.

Diana does what Needs to be Done

Yeah, I was not a fan of her portrayal in the DCAU.

I like the duality of this version of Wonder Woman. She is a warrior and can be aggressive at times but it’s ultimately due to her compassion and love for others.

“Just get a service job don’t take risks, don’t got to college, don’t try to better yourself” Can’t keep up with the cost of living and inflation “You should’ve taken more risks. You should’ve gone to college. You should’ve tried to better yourself.” I did what I was told to do and now I can’t make ends meet or start a family. “That’s a good thing! You have enough! Be grateful!” * Explains how the economy is failing due solely to the greed of the obscenely wealthy “STOP BEING POOR!”

Loving the Green Day references.

1:10 Bitch did I just hear a Howie Scream

I think it's interesting this is all being done with the heroic duo that launched Rob Liefeld's career.

The Ego/Superego/Id stuff is all very insightful and provides a thematic take on this episode that I hadn’t thought of, but what are we Jungians to do? Will there ever be a video for us?

Wonder Woman definitely has anger issues

Danke
