Lol! "Im just Diana Prince.......astronaut" Diana, Princess of humble bragging

Apparently, Orana was in the Wonder Woman movie. She's the Amazon that was shot by the German soldier in the Beach Battle

Fun fact: Orana's back! She's now runs Themyscira's armory.

“I love sassy Diana.” In that case I highly recommend her Golden Age run. It’s an acquired taste, but there are times she’s Spidey-levels of snarky. If you want to continue this series, it’d be cool to explore the time Hippolyta became Wonder Woman and then went back to WWII and joined the JSA.

A true strength of Wonder Woman isn’t her brute physical strength but instead of her will and her heart!!!

Dc should make a new comic called “Lois Lane ________ girlfriend” and every issue she gets married to different people every issue the blank would be filled in by the character that issue, as long as there’s not a giant cheese cake factory, I think it’ll be a fun comic series or mini / maxi series.

Other alternate Wonder Women: Donna Troy (One Year Later) Queen Hipployta (time travelled to WWII and hooked up with Wildcat) Bekka (the New God)

Please do a video on Hippolyta's time as Wonder Woman!!

You should do a azrael Batman video

Wait, women who wanna be Wonder Woman types die, it's not like its a thing now-oh wait Donna Troy in Titans gets electricuted, yeah, that's a rather consistent trend. A Wonder Woman cake shot, what is this the Justice League movies.

Another similarity: Orana’s green Amazon outfit was used in elements of Artemis’ Requiem outfit.

My issue with Wonder Woman these days is her being re-imagined as a fierce warrior eager to do battle. She was created a gentle soul and trying to change that goes against the foundation of her character. These stories of trying to replace Diana with a visceral harsh WW set the stage for DC re-writing Diana today. Classic WW = Modern Aphrodite, Current WW = Modern Ares/Athena.

Since you have mentioned Lois marrying people who are not Superman. Please do the video on "Lois marries Satan" in issue Superman's Girlfriend #103! OR "Lois marries Jimmy" in Superman's pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol.1 #21 OR Lois Lane marries Jimmy Olsen in issue Superman's Pal, Jimmy Olsen Vol 1 #21 OR Do a video on the newspaper comic strip in the late 1940s, decided to do a twist - have "Clark Kent (NOT SUPERMAN) marry Lois Lane!" & Lex Luthor tries to keep Lois from marrying Clark.

I really think this story should've been 3 issues. #250 stays the same. #251 explores Orana's motivation more, along with her getting in over her head, setting up her eventual redemption, and getting diana back onto man's world. #252 could have an accident caused by orana's misunderstanding of man's world where diana has to get involved and save her, potentially sacrificing herself, only for orana to grant her the wonder woman title and sacrifice herself instead.

Why is it when a new replacement hero emerges, a no-name villain follows suite. And worst seems to best the hero at their own game. Wow, that's really being unprepared. So much for on the job training. Greatly enjoyed this flashback to the alternate Wonder Women in the DC Universe. You should definitely cover Nubia, Wonder Woman's black sister. I have seen other posts about her and I would like to hear your opinion on her.

Sasha's choice of Lighting makes me feel like she's about show me her conspiracy web of comic clippings on a giant corkboard. She this channel keeps all the receipts, you know.

I'd love to see a series on all of the different Aqua-Girls!

"Lois marrying people who weren't CLERK". LOL. His 'so mild mannered that this guy can't possibly be Superman' routine works even upon you. You subconsciously think of him as a mere clerk rather thank a top reporter for the Daily Planet and/or Freudian slip. 🙂 I know, I know,...just chalk it up to this being 'I put up two fingers as I said "eleven" Tuesday'....😉

you will know when I get a time machine when there is an issue of Lois Lane where she marries Wonder Woman.

DC: DC has no good ideas. Let's do Crisis! Post Crisis: Good idea. Now let's strip mine and copycat as much of Pre-Crisis as possible. Stories! Titles! In-Jokes!

Interestingly I know that Donna Troy had a stint as Wonder Woman during the One Year Later. Hopefully you do a video on how Donna became Wonder Woman and why she gave up the mantle.

This hairpiece is THE ONE! Loooooves it. You should try the foundation in the part of the wig trick! People would really think it was growing out of your head.

“Mmmm, cheesecake; nom-nom-now-nom-nom!!” ...!?? BWAHAHAHA!!!! As much as I’m here strictly for the comics (and to see what your hairstyle of the day is going to be, tbh) the way you lean into the role of quote/unquote “unicorn” is comically refreshing. With that one line, you made my whole day. Thanks for the belly-laugh!

A little bit of fun fact: That particular set of comics was also distributed by Whitman comics. They would be bagged and sold in department stores that normally did not carry comics. Now some of the Whitman comics are incredibly rare ( A batman one comes to mind) & along with that is incredibly expensive. These two issues are not that rare but eBay will try to claim they are, so as a collector, just be careful to not overpay for an allegedly rare Whitman comic.

Since you did the cheesecakey Artemis, I would love to see your take on the"bad girl" trend during the 90s. I.e. Jim Balent's Catwoman, Billy Tucci's Shi, Dawn, Lady Death. Thanks for your awesomeness! Going to have this baby now ttyl! #preggiegeek🤟🏿👶🏽❤

This wig! You don't know how much I enjoy you switching up your look.

Yes! I’m living for the wonder woman content right now!!

I could be wrong, but was there a time when Hippolyta took up the mantle of Wonder Woman after Diana's demise?

I remember buying the Whitman editions when I was a kid. I feel so old now.

This was a really interesting story to watch. I wonder how many more Amazons tried to replace Wonder Woman.

It's funny, after your last Wonder Woman video, I was thinking about how both Bats and Supes got temporarily replaced around the same time. She got it easy though, they both had these massive arcs that left them physically broken, whereas Diana just sort of milled around in a jacket for a few issues. Of course, the flip side is that Knightfall and Death of Superman are classics, but most people are probably completely unaware that Diana also got the replacement treatment.

Always impressed with the in-depth research you do. I like how they explore the aspect of other Amazonians having powers instead of it just being Diana but there definitely seems to be a total lack of sisterhood in these stories written by men about a society of women. Of course, there needs to be conflict in the story but it seems like they didn't put much thought into it.

I liked this comic arc (is it an arc with just 2 issues) and wished that they had at least had her show up as WW in some other comic during that run. Maybe responding to a JLA signal or as a guest star in either Brave & Bold or DC Presents (especially with Batman getting to give his two cents on balancing violence with responsibility to lives). I especially wished she had teamed up some other substitute icon, like Sandman Superman or Guy Gardner (pre-obnoxious phase) so we could get a scene about the weight of filling a legends shoes. Once again a great trip down memory lane handled in a very cool way.

I'll be waiting patiently for those WAP lyrics.

That was a lot of cheese cake with Artemis' arc... but I'm surprised by this arc and the backside shot... I guess they liked cheese cake back in the day too...

Biggest trip for me was the editor being Larry Hama, though it makes sense in that Hama really liked strong, intelligent female characters. If you know GI Joe, you KNOW Hama.

I love how she changes her voice when she role plays the comics' panel.

there's only one wonder woman, Lynda Carter. :)

Well they couldn't have done it in 79, but it's almost too obvious not to do now: so i'm HERE for that Lois marries Wonder Woman Elseworlds, especially if it still has Rejected Superman.

Oh my gosh, my brother and I were just discussing these issues about a week ago!! As always, loved your review. Also great to see the comparison to Artemis!

I love cheesecake... Its just unfortunate that im lactose intolerant And very homosexual™

Actually, I'm surprised that they didn't go for a longer time with Artemis as Wonder Woman. I get the creative team change-over, but both Knightfall and the Death Of Superman arcs took over a year to play out entirely, but Artemis gets just 10 months or so? If they did base Artemis on Orana, then this was a good concept to re-do in the post-Crisis era, unlike all the other re-dos that basically mucked the continuity back up, thus requiring Yet Another Crisis. 'Course now that you've then-and-now-ed this idea, you have even LESS excuse not to do the Superman Red/Superman Blue stories from both the Silver Age and the '90s! The latter will also pan into the whole "Electric Supeman" arc, which I'd also love to see detailed.

This was a lot of fun. I REMEMBER that comic very well, having read it multiple times. I was 12 when it came out. Thanks for another great video!

I think this one is the only one that genuinely made me laugh. She just straight up dies so Diana can be Wonder Woman again.

This was also around the time when Hal Jordan went a bit mental and ended up replaced as Green Lantern by Kyle Rayner. (My memory is being annoying in telling me there was yet another DC hero replaced back then but not telling me which one it was!)

YAYYYYYYY!! I was hoping you'd cover this after Wonder Artemis!

That fan letter was fantastic: I’d love to see more of them. I love the passion of fans; and how it can sometimes goes too far haha. Also, I definitely look forward to seeing more Lois Lane/salty Superman (or “Saltman” as I will now refer to him) content: and if Lois just so happens to be marrying someone else- hopefully with Supes as the bitter best man, and it all goes terribly wrong, even better haha.

Oh boy, I can't wait to see the can of worms that it's Donna Troy..... and also Cassie Sandmark

I kinda liked Orana, but yeah...Artemis had more developed characterization. Still, I wonder what might've happened if Orana (or her predecessor, Mala) hsad more time/opportunity...

"You're not Wonder Woman! I AM WONDER WOMAN!! *PROPERTY DAMAGE!!!!* HA!!

I seem to remember an even older story, though not a comic, but an episode of Superfriends. The Legion of Doom travels back in time to prevent the origins of Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman. Superman's rocket is directed away from Earth, Luthor take Hal Jordan's place in meeting Abin Sur, and Cheetah (another red head? -I forget) wins the original contest to become Wonder Woman. Clearly, security was lax on Paradise Island. At least she didn't become the Green Luthor. Not only was Orana's story not well fleshed out, but the art is inconsistent. Some pannels she'd drawn to look like Elizabeth Montgomery (Bewitched). Others, like Vick Lawrence (Carol Burnette Show). Weird. To her credit, Diana never pulled rank when Orana trash talking her for staying in man's world. She may be the new WW, But Diana was still her Princess. Beyotch. Steve Trevor lacks personal dynamic? That's a trope all by itself. While at least some effort was made to write female leads/love interests, male love interests were, well, cardboard. And these were written by men! To be fair, it ain't Shakespear. I'd love to see a universe/timeline where these replacement characters (Azrael, Artemis, and the Supermen) kept their titles. Guess i'll have to settle for Elseworlds. Poor Diana! Not only is Orana dead, but now that she's Wonder Woman again, there goes her career as an Astronaut! With no explanations to anyone...sigh.

There's a lot left unanswered with the Orana story, especially the mysterious "plan" she and her friends seemed to have going... They really should've let it be a three-parter, with the astronaut stuff and Warhead left out. #250 would stay the same, showing Orana's ascension to the role of Wonder Woman. #251 would still cover her attempts to fit into Man's World and conflicts with Diana, but it would also give more background on why Orana wanted to be Wonder Woman to begin with and explain what she and her friends were up to. Those reveals would then fuel the plot of #252, likely necessitating Diana's intervention and eventual restoration to being Wonder Woman. Orana would either still die or, better yet, live to either humbly renounce her mysterious plan or else face its consequences. Sigh. Another missed opportunity... Oh well. Maybe Superman will come flying in from space and find that Lois is the new Wonder Woman. 😊

With the cover featuring a brass brassiere, I didn't even notice that Wonder Woman is on the ground.

This was great! It is a great insight into how the writers thought of wonder woman, women and gender roles in general. You should do a whole mod wonder woman era review.

Warhead looks like a halfbuilt mech that someone just gave up on drawing!

I can only imagine what Clark would say if Lois married Diana...

Great channel. You really get into some great stuff. Nightwing, Doc Sampson, Kyle Rayner, and now a Wonder Woman book that was actually one of the first comic books I ve ever read. Wow messed up.

I have a soft spot for this run. I remember reading it as a little kid in one of those 'here are three comics in a plastic bag" marketing things. I do think it was pretty strong for the time period, but I'm biased because I think this was my first introduction to Wonder Woman. The details of the amazon contest were pretty interesting. I wonder if the contest details had been covered in that depth before.

I realized that in the span of a week I spend more time watching Sasha than talking to my friends. *And I have a lot of friends*

I didn't even know there were multiple Wonder Women

Cheesecake? Just a nice bubble bath, and a nice shadowy nightie shot. I mean, c'mon, don't all Amazons take bubble baths and wear sheer night gowns?

A bomb that kills people but leaves buildings (and roads, bridges, factories, etc.) intact was a real fear in the Cold War. It was the neutron bomb.

I think you're right about anything after the new 52, they're throwing in too many sub plots. Orana - interesting name - was not prepared for the world of men/women - as opposed to all women. hmmm??? When did Diana pass astronaut training??? I suppose, "THIS AN D SO MUCH MORE COMING SOON TO OUR EXCELLENT Host Ms Sasha and her CASUALLY COMICS updates. Thanks you Ms Sasha. 🤪😁🙏👍💗🦇🌼

5:29 I mean when you're homies with Aquaman you don't just go slaying marine life for no reason

1:20 The John Byrne's "stamp" AKA making the comic book awesome

"Please help him" made me laugh. I wonder if that guy watches your videos. So glad the "Wonder thong" era is far behind us.

Actually, this small arc made me prefer Orana to Artemis. Arti's extreme ponytail has always enrages me!!

If you need suggestions for the meet Series. Gypsy, vixen, Cheshire, bumblebee or Circe.

It's always disappointing when an interesting story line is marred by a lackluster execution. You feel like their heart wasn't in it. :-(

This could have been a good story if it had gotten fleshed out a little more. Two issues wasn't enough

I just joined! Keep up the great content!

Wow....just discovered you today....awesomeness......looking forward to all you do.....ahhhh my “classic” comics....

3:19 The joke should have been with heart on the fifth day and then summon Captain Planet...

Now that you have covered two of the main usurpers to her title, you should do a video on Nubia

Sasha knows the WAP lyrics! I am shocked! SHOCKED!! 😲 ....well not that shocked.😐

It's hard to find a fictional comic book society with more contradictions than Wonder Woman's Amazons. They're supposed to be this society that stayed away from mankind because of its violence, except that they're clearly a warrior society where everyone knows how to fight even though they're isolated and therefor, have no real enemies. And while some part of their rules has some democratic elements in them, it's still a monarchy where the queen has an awful lot of sway over her grown daughter. I wish the comics dealt with this issue head-on. Diana is usually portrayed as a rebel but I have yet to read a comic that calls this so-called "Paradise island" for what it truly is: a mirage.

+1 for Warhead voice and +2 for Neptune. (No one else mentioned warhead voice??)

The lasso of truth and a fashion? But, does it Do her hair and nails? If so, that would be a real magic lasso.

Back in the 70's almost no stories at DC went beyond a 2-parter. This was one more way they differed from Marvel editorially. At Marvel 3 part stories were standard and 4 partners weren't uncommon.

Beautiful art at these issues. Very interesting topic. This idea that someone can claim the Wonder Woman title was always strange for me.

Your channel has quickly become one of my favorites, and not just because of the funky do’s. Although, let’s be honest, it’s not not because of them lol

I just found your channel and I absolute love it!

Remember this story from back in 1978/79 unfortunately I only read the second part of story arc at the time so nice to see this video.

Yay! So glad you covered the Orana issues! Now I really hope you do some coverage of Reign of the Supermen (or even just a nice long Video for John Henry Irons). Steel is the best member of the Superfamily and I will die on that hill!

I love your videos so much! You've been a great inspiration of a comic lover like myself and you're very in depth in the love of cheesiness of old comics. I would like to ask if you have ever read the Power Rangers Boom! Comics? I would love for you to go into the depth of the Shattered Grid arc

Hmm, So to become Wonder Woman I need to have a good but... beauty and brains. Lol

Diana had to figure out man's world on her own, let the pretenders die to their folly. Nobody takes Diana's job a lives to talk a out it.

Wonder Woman passing the mantle isn't that big of a thing, is it? Neither is Superman, just the then small stint of Reign of the Supermen and Superman Connor Kent from future. But Batman on the other hand has the mantle passed around A LOT (Thomas Wayne, Azrael, Dick Grayson, Tim Drake, Jason Todd, Carrie Kelley, Damian Wayne, Helena Wayne..... probs more). I'd love it if you did a vid on Diana's sis Nubia :)

Yo awesome show your takes are super helpful. Bingeing your Wonder Playlist good stuff.

Issue 251 was my very first Wonder Woman comic!

The Neptune voice is legit creepy.

I mean I like the idea of wonder woman being a legacy title and many different women with the mantle at different times, sometimes with Diana walking away from the mantle or being deemed unworthy. Arcs with the different women who had the role done in a convergence style. I say bring them all in and maybe have them in different universes or dimensions or all acting as Wonder Woman at once but the title being shared

Wow, the Greek Gods were a bunch of dillholes," We don't care how selfless and compassionate you are.""You didn't touch the ground first so you lose."

Yes Orana !!!! Thank you so much for this one !!!!!

This would actually be an interesting concept for the next film since they flopped with how poorly they utilized cheetah

Neptune? Very big mistake. Even when Aquaman used to say it. Not just WW but the entire DC universe is basically built on the Greek mythology. So the names used for those gods must always be the Greek ones. PS I loved when they actually went with Roman gods in the Earth 2 comic.

I enjoy your show and will be supporting you ..old storyline can be explored in a modern context for a new generation of readers. thankyou. oh I will be spreading the word about this site.

I only just found out, last week when issue 206 was released digitally, that Nubia wasn’t just an Amazonian sister but created in clay at the same time as Diana by Hippolyte 😵 I had no idea this was the case. Any chance this could be an upcoming video?

Steve Gerber got a lot of flak in the 1970s (at least on the letters page) for his never-ending story arcs, especially in The Defenders. He wrote issues 20-29, 31-41, Giant-Size 3-5, and Annual #1. 31-40 and Annual #1 told one very convoluted story that was set up in #21. #20 was the end of a three-parter that started in Marvel Two-in-One #6-7, he did a Sons of the Serpent four-parter in 22-25, and brought back the Guardians of the Galaxy (who had appeared only once at the time) in Marvel Two-in-One 4-5, Giant-Size Defenders #5, and Defenders #26-29 (#30 was an incredibly cheesy Bill Mantlo fill-in). Only Giant-Size #3 and #4, and #41 told stories that could sort of be considered stand-alone (although #4 is pretty important to the #31-40 & Annual 1 story, and #41's pacing feels like it was intended to be something much longer that he was told to wrap up while still in the scripting.

see? that is what we went through with DC in the 70's-80's,....the "bronze" age??? An EXCELLENT exposition, and analysis as always ma'am; just when the dust from those old boxes clears, you dive a little deeper; AWESOME!!!!!! MAD LOVE Woman, PEACE., and God bless.
