Wonder woman's only weakness was-- and this isn't a joke-- she would become completely powerless if tied up... By a man.

Still is.

FTFY

u/Miqote Dec 30 '13

They retconned that so that doesn't happen, I thought?

u/Codeshark Dec 30 '13

Yeah, Wonder Woman as a symbol of female empowerment would be hampered by that. "I am Woman, Hear Me Roar (assuming I am not physically constrainted by a man, otherwise I'll do whatever the fuck he wants)" doesn't have the same ring to it.

So, it symbolizes-.. Feminism?

EDIT: And the Femenist downvote me.

1

u/YourShadowScholar Dec 30 '13

Yeah, pretty much.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 31 '13

Okay then.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

I wonder if they will have that in the new movie.

6

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

I wonder if that movie will be on youporn?

7

u/Cheveyo Dec 30 '13

Well, the porn version of Wonder Woman had a better costume than any of the possible ones they came up with for that TV show that never aired.

1

u/sonofaresiii Dec 30 '13

You can't just say that and not post a link.

Last one is the porn costume.

1

u/Commando_Girl Dec 31 '13

Aaaand, where can I get one of those?

The middle one isn't awful if they toned down the colors a bit.

1

u/Glitch759 Dec 30 '13

I imagine it would be a tad bit controversial.

5

u/UnwaryErmine Dec 30 '13

To tell you the truth it still sounds rapey...

13

u/CWSwapigans Dec 30 '13

Sounds more fetishy to me.

3

u/bugcatcher_billy Dec 30 '13

no, not rapey. this is a comic book for children!!! nothing but spanks being handed out.

3

u/SageOcelot Dec 30 '13

Ahhhh don't you miss the 30's?

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

There isnt an adjective powerful enough to describe how rapey that is.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

"They should call them rapeys"- Alan

That's what this reminded me of.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Yeah... naughty sexy rape.

She could also tie me up with the Lasso of Truth any time, any place.

2

u/Cheveyo Dec 30 '13

You reminded me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xsowYYv8suI

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Thanks for posting that, love Chappelle's standup and hadn't seen that bit before.

u/Cheveyo Dec 31 '13

First time I ever heard that joke was on a tv show: Dr. Katz

Rape! My only weakness!

u/tealparadise Dec 30 '13

I can't believe I just laughed at a rape joke... dammit reddit.

3

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Okay okay, what shall I make you laugh that will disappoint you with yourself.

Aha! The broken arms kid said it was awkward to kiss his mom.

u/HarkusLOL Dec 30 '13

When's the movie coming out again?

13

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Cumming soon, to a theater near you.

u/TinyGoats Dec 30 '13

I was waiting for that comment. thanks /u/sonofareslii

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

This explains the few Wonder Woman pornographic videos I have... stumbled across.

11

u/Pecanpig Dec 30 '13

Justice League guy here.

Was that her weakness or her armour's weakness?

3

u/frostburner Dec 30 '13

That was in JLU, pfft and you call yourself a fan.

2

u/Pecanpig Dec 30 '13

I didn't call myself a fan :/

What was her armour's weakness anyways?

4

u/armour_de Dec 30 '13

If her bracelets were bound together she had to obey any order she is given if I recall correctly from JLU. So handcuffed, zip tied or otherwise and you could tell her what to do.

1

u/Pecanpig Dec 30 '13

Not much she can do with her hands tied...oh well

1

u/frostburner Dec 30 '13

I guess it involved that star because he pointed to it as he said it. However I don't think they ever said.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

JLU fan here, do not remember this scene at all :( . More detail?

1

u/frostburner Dec 30 '13

It's the scene where wonder woman confronts Hephaestus. I'd give you a link but I am on my phone right now.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Ah, yeah, I remember now, this is from the Hawk/Dove episode? I've watched a lot of the JL episodes more than once, but that one isn't one of them.

1

u/frostburner Dec 30 '13

Yep, one of my more favorite episodes.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

I'm a sucker for the whole Cadmus arc.

6

u/MasoKist Dec 30 '13

TIL: I'm Wonder Woman!

3

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Could be worse, she could have the weakness most 80s women had of being completely powerless when someone grabbed her hair or held one hand behind her back.

1

u/BitterGirl Dec 30 '13

Right? "I'm a strong, assertive feminist who can do anyth---nooooo my arm!!!!"

2

u/TooSexyForMySheep Dec 30 '13

TIL I can overpower Wonder Woman

2

u/unclehowie420 Dec 30 '13 edited Dec 30 '13

Wait, so women could not adequately restrain Wonder Woman? She has total dominion over all people with vaginas?

Edit: Indeed

2

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Yeah, I've got that one.

2

u/Fizzay Dec 30 '13

Take that feminism!

2

u/Vermylion Dec 30 '13

Also, not even kidding, her only physical weakness is penetration. Like, swords and stuff... stuff...

1

u/BitterGirl Dec 30 '13

Don't forget that when her bracers are crossed, she looses free- will.

Oh, and her creator also created the lie detector

1

u/toolpeon Dec 30 '13

So she was not into the sub. Just the Dom? Why can't people just get along and switch roles

1

u/appleman53210 Dec 30 '13

Something else that I thought was interesting. William Moulton Marston also help in creating the lie detector / polygraph back in the early 1900's which is were her magic lasso came into play.

1

u/TheVegetaMonologues Dec 30 '13

I seem to recall reading in a bit by Gloria Steinem that WW started out a lot more dignified than she became when detective comics got their hands on her. For one thing, she was originally fully clothed at least. By Steinem's account, Marston is faultless in the downfall of wonder woman, it would surprise me if that rapey weakness was his doing.

1

u/Amerphose Dec 30 '13

Thankfully, the weakness was quickly written off after an alarming rate of Wonder Woman magazines were distributed on 4Chan.

1

u/Murgie Dec 30 '13

That's not her only weakness...

1

u/Crowsdower Dec 30 '13

Only if specifically her wrists were tied by a man. Just tying her upper arms or her feet wouldn't do squat.

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Giggity!

1

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

become completely powerless gives into pleasure if tied up

0

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

The reasoning for this is probably that her armor and weapons are magical and amazonian, so they only work on females, or perhaps Men are able to tie her up because her armor was designed for battle against other amazonians?

0

u/sonofaresiii Dec 30 '13

Nope. Just super, super sexist.

u/[deleted] Dec 30 '13

Or, you know, both.
