    @jphulk26: Is this your video or one you found online? In any case, the author tends to go into non existent overanalysing of the rogues in question and bring up stuff that isn't present in their characters. And too long rants as well. Not the best way to present a video IMO.

    The whole point of the video is to show these characters haven´t been developed enough and could be great villains. I understand that at the moment they are not. That´s what I was trying to say. in fact Cheetah and Ares at the moment are the only ones I´d say are great, but none of the rest have been given that chance.

    Currently: mostly rubbish, because they aren't developed.

    Currently: mostly rubbish, because they aren't developed.

    Exactly, I agree and thats what my video is really about. The potential is all there. I´ve tried this test. I go to my none comic friends and I say Do you think the Joker is a cool character. Inevitably all say yes.

    I then go through a list of characters,

    Red Skull, Dr. Doom, Captain Boomerang etc etc, and inevitably everyone thinks they´re a joke without giving them a chance. This is whats happened to Wonder Womans rogues by DC writers themselves. They just see the name, maybe read a little about them and dismiss them and try and make their own equally ridiculous or worse villians for her.

    Wonder Woman will never have cool villains if they pass up opportunities to develop characters like Ares and Alkyone, or even Dr. Poison, Dr. Cyber and Dr. Psycho. Sure add new rogues but you´ve got to develop old ones while you do that or all that will happen is the next person on the ww run will end up doing the exact same thing and First Born will go down in flames just like the rest.

    Now me I would take characters like Stryfe and First Born and develop them further and put my own spin on them. Don´t throw the baby out with the bath water thats the whole point of my video. The concept behind alot of wonder woman villains is sound.
