Tom King has received plenty of praise for his work on Superman: Man of Tomorrow, but it raises an interesting question for DC fans: Why can Tom King write Superman well but not Wonder Woman? In this video, we take a closer look at King’s approach to Superman, what makes his characterization work, and why that same understanding seems to be missing from his Wonder Woman run. We’ll examine the differences in how King handles these two iconic heroes, their supporting casts, themes, personalities, and relationships with the DC Universe, while asking whether King simply understands Superman better—or whether Wonder Woman has been fundamentally misunderstood during his run. Is Superman: Man of Tomorrow evidence that Tom King is capable of writing great DC stories, or does it make the problems with his Wonder Woman run stand out even more?

Is Deadpool 2 actually a good sequel, or does it fail to live up to the original? In this video, we take a look at Ryan Reynolds’ second outing as the Merc with a Mouth and discuss whether the movie improves on the first Deadpool in its story, characters, action, comedy, and overall impact. From Cable and Domino to X-Force, the emotional story surrounding Wade Wilson, and the movie’s bigger and crazier approach, we’ll break down what works, what doesn’t, and whether Deadpool 2 deserves to be considered one of the better superhero sequels. So, is Deadpool 2 a worthy follow-up to the original, or did the sequel miss the mark?

Spider-Man: Brand New Day is finally here, but does Tom Holland’s latest adventure live up to the hype? In this review, I break down Marvel’s newest Spider-Man movie, looking at Tom Holland’s performance as Peter Parker, the story, the action, the villains, the supporting cast, and how this film continues Peter’s journey after the events of Spider-Man: No Way Home. I’ll also discuss the movie’s connections to the wider MCU, whether Brand New Day delivers the more grounded Spider-Man story fans have been asking for, and where it ranks among Tom Holland’s Spider-Man movies. Is this truly a brand new day for the MCU’s Spider-Man, or does Marvel still have work to do?

Is Batman the most overpowered superhero in comics? From defeating gods and cosmic beings to always having the "perfect plan," Batman has become one of the most controversial characters in DC Comics. In this video, we'll examine whether the Dark Knight's incredible feats are earned through his intelligence, preparation, and determination—or if decades of stories have pushed him beyond believable limits. We'll discuss the infamous "prep time" argument, some of Batman's most unbelievable victories, how his power level compares to other DC heroes, and whether his portrayal ultimately helps or hurts the character. Is Batman the greatest strategist in comics, or has he become too powerful for his own good?

Wonder Woman has long been portrayed as one of DC Comics' greatest heroes, but why is she so rarely allowed to lead? In this Wonder Woman Wednesday, we explore Diana's history as a leader of the Justice League, compare her leadership qualities to Black Canary's, and discuss the many similarities between these two iconic heroines. We also examine Wonder Woman's unique role as the ambassador of Themyscira and leader of the Amazons, and why those experiences make her one of the most qualified heroes to lead the DC Universe. Join the discussion as we break down Wonder Woman's legacy, Black Canary's place in the Justice League, and why DC should embrace Diana as one of its premier leaders.

George Pérez's Wonder Woman remains one of the most celebrated runs in comic book history, but how does it compare to Tom King's modern interpretation? In this video, we break down the two eras by examining the overall story, comparing the themes, pacing, and long-term direction of each run. We then look at Diana as a character, discussing how Pérez established Wonder Woman as a compassionate ambassador, mythic hero, and inspiring icon, while evaluating King's portrayal and whether it lives up to that legacy. Next, we explore Diana's world, from Themyscira and Greek mythology to her supporting cast and rogues gallery, and how each creator builds the Wonder Woman mythos. Finally, we discuss Tom King's claims that his run is a tribute to George Pérez, analyzing whether the similarities honor Pérez's vision or simply borrow elements without capturing what made his Wonder Woman so timeless. Join the conversation and let us know which run you believe better represents the Amazing Amazon.

Wonder Woman is one of DC Comics' greatest heroes, so why does it feel like her 85th anniversary is being treated as an afterthought?
