Wonder Woman is one of the most righteous and noble superheroes in the world of comics, and maybe even beyond the world of fiction. And, her traits are often hailed as gifts she received from her mother Hippolyta and the race of Amazons of Themyscira, the Paradise Islands. But let me assure you, they are far from beacons of goodness. The island is home to super beautiful superhumans, right? So, how did Wonder Woman or any other Amazonian come into being? And if the women from Amazon do, in fact, procreate, then what happens to all the sons of Themyscira?

Outstanding video as always thanks
I never saw Wonder Woman 2 because of this. Fuck the Amazons.
😂😂
Sorry I don't like the " the modern comic age " much. Don't get me wrong some story's and art are brilliant. But I still like the gold, silver and bronze age comics. I like the original wonder woman's birth. The comics like to call goddess, gods ,which a male chauvinist view of life. At lest deity is a good word . Anyway. The breath of aphrodite give life to WW. Also give her beauty inside and outside. Hermes give the gift of speed and flight. Athena give the gift of wisdom. Demeter give her strength of the earth. I think there were 2 more. But I can't remember and my comics are packed away. Goggle only helping a bit. One more thing. In ancient Greek myths there 2 story's I know with the death of hippolyta and the amazon's. Both were accident, kind of. One is in Borth story's the Prince of power and the amazon queen respected each over. kidnapping and theft. In the dc comics they made hercules a brute. But I think W. Marston was making a point in 1941. Good show. 👍😊
Hi pol it a. Also Them a scare a. Please learn how to pronounce these words correctly.
Just watch the Wonder Woman movies. That is a good way to learn how to pronounce these words correctly.
Hades not Hell. Get this stuff right i can't watch anymore of your video, there are too many mistakes that are preventable.
What’s her mothers name again? …..Adultery? Somethings should be left alone.
We have the same system now just call it IVF… and you can choose 78% the sex of the baby.
Wonder woman comics are wild 🤣🤣
epic
Parthenogenesis, Amazons can reproduce by Parthenogenesis and this has become the norm with occasional trips to "Mans World" on missions used as opportunities to harvest fresh blood, most amazons will just be a different genetic expression of their Mothers.
It's all Heracles Fault.
I legitimately paused this to type, man, wouldn’t that be sweet; just a sailor enjoying the freedom that comes from the sea, and then, booty. Amazonian booty. What would I give to be them. Then I pressed play and found out the rest. Damn. [><]
Th' em- es-scerra
The male of the Amazonian species is given over the the night king.
Mother of all things holy bro!
Hippolyta is pronounced Hip-pall-it-ah! not Hippo-laya!
Just feel the need to say, there actually IS a letter T in the name Hippolyta, and it is NOT meant to be silent, as it seems half the time it's said here.
Also, even when you CAN hear the T, the word is still mispronounced…
What a feminist bull crap
In the Greek myth the Amazons were a plague on the lands where they went until Hercules was sent to subdue them to check their ways of mayhem 😔
You guys have good videos, but why is every narrator so inconstant with your pronunciation of certain word?
The Golden Age Wonder Woman was made out of clay.
The Silver Age Wonder Woman was also made out of clay. But added a soul of a murdered female unborn child.
Modern Age Wonder Woman was another product of Zeus's wild loins and was told that she was born of clay to fool a jealous Hera.
Don't forget…
Amazons are bisexual, and usually non romantic twords men (as they only fulfill the purpose).
That submission and bondage is kinda normal during the Golden Age Wonder Woman. As Diana was the mouthpiece for her creators ideas about the superiority of women over men.
(I still need to watch the biopic about him, his wife, and his secretary/accepted mistress and the creation of Wonder Wiman the character. )
Easier explanation: they created the story but never thought about some justification, so created that feminist story about Hercules to justify the men hate of the amazons!
(8:20) They sound more like sirens than Amazons.
I remember seeing it in the comic book. That shit was so..fucked..up. I’m saying this right now, the Amazonians were just as sexist as some of the men they despised. And also, Hereacles wasn’t even villainous. In the actual story she gave him the girdle willingly. He didn’t do none of that shit to the amazons. Unlike his father, he only did it when there was consent.
I personally dislike the "New Earth" origin because it was just stolen from Cassie Sandsmark (AKA Wonder Girl II)
Death by snu snu find the cave full of men with broken pelvis.
True Feminist the Amazon were angry at men for what there God's did to them
Is it Canon that Wonder Woman’s father is Zeus or is it Aries
Well hell they don't need men and I don't need anything from women either I'm better then them
I’ve always known that amazons were man killers from what I remember about mythology. That’s why when I saw the story of WW, I blew it off. There is no way a being born and raised in that environment given the history of its people, would be some champion of truth and Justice for all. She’d be about women and women only; not about men. She’d no doubt be lesbian and probably a manish lesbian at that.
Isn't hercules/heracles gay asf? He's been dating Logan at some point.
It is Hippolyta not Hippolea!
Thanks for sharing. Despite my knowledge of Greek mythology and the story of Zues as WW's bio dad, I din't even think twice about it.
Amazon back story is basically a huge feminist story.
