We break down everything that went wrong with the premiere, from the story and characters to the handling of Green Lantern mythology, Hal Jordan, John Stewart, the tone, and the overall direction of the series.

Why Every Wonder Woman Run Fails (And How To Fix It)
Wonder Woman is one of the most mischaracterized heroes in comics. For decades, writers have boiled Diana Prince down to “the strong woman” or “the warrior who fights” — and missed the point entirely. In this video we break down why so many creators don’t understand Wonder Woman, and what actually makes her one of the most powerful, radical characters DC has ever published.
Tom King’s Superman vs. Wonder Woman: What Went Wrong? | Super-Pals Episode 43
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?
Absolute Wonder Woman Finally Got Steve Trevor Right!
In this video, we break down why the Wonder Woman fandom has fully embraced Absolute Steve Trevor and what sets this take on the character apart. We explore how Steve genuinely supports Diana without overshadowing her, how his role is positioned differently from past interpretations, and why this shift allows Diana to remain the true protagonist of her own mythos. Finally, we dive into how Absolute Steve brings a grounded, realistic presence that complements Wonder Woman’s world instead of clashing with it. If you’ve been curious why fans are rallying behind this version, this deep-dive lays it all out.
Why The Wonder Woman Fandom Has Turned On Steve Trevor
Why has the Wonder Woman fandom turned on Steve Trevor? In this video, we break down the growing frustration with his modern portrayal—starting with Tom King’s self-insert approach, which reshaped Steve into a passive, overly idolizing figure. We look at the “worship” dynamic that has pushed fans away, revisit Post-Crisis Steve, who felt confident and independent, and explain how to fix the current version so he can stand beside Diana as a real partner again. This is the full breakdown of where Steve went wrong and how DC can course-correct.
Why Absolute Wonder Woman Understands Diana Better Than Tom King
In this video, we break down why Absolute Wonder Woman understands Wonder Woman on a deeper level than the current approach from Tom King, exploring how its characterization embraces Diana’s compassion and moral clarity, how its reverence for the gods honors her true mythological roots, how its portrayal of violence reflects her warrior ethos without losing her humanity, and how its reverence for the past preserves the legacy that defines her—while the King run misses these essential elements, redefining Diana in ways that undermine what makes her iconic. This is the definitive breakdown of why this collection captures the real Wonder Woman where modern interpretations struggle.
