It would had been great to see Hamlin Rule team up with Glitterrocker, which would had led to Wonder Woman teaming up with Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. Wonder Woman would find the control room and try to stop Glitterrocker from hypnotyzing Electra Woman and Dyna Girl, only to be hypnotyzed by Hamlin Rule. When Electra Woman and Dyna Girl are dehypnotyzed, they would rescue Wonder Woman and use her golden lasso to dehynotyze her, and the three of them would defeat Hamlin Rule and Glitterrocker.

looks like you got a good pitch for that wonder woman remake they got coming up. i feel pretty sure i'd rather watch a version of the above than whatever weak sauce they actually end up making.

@highway234 ...Marvel Comics really jipped women.And wasn't wonder woman's secret identity some kind of secretary?

How could a secretary get an invisible jet; even if they can make one believable and impressive? And if she can be seen sitting there, I don't consider that so impressive. I can't say I remember Electro woman's powers, but I'd rather see a remade female super hero with some serious power over electricity than a rope of truth.

@Miracle490d there are stronger women superheroes in comics, i think. electra, raven (from new teen titans), etc. if you want a tweaky female superhero, check out female robin from the mark miller "dark knight returns" from the 80s. that said, decisions whether to make characters strong or weak isn't necessarily just motivated by, we're patriarchal so we're gonna make women heroes weak. you're supposed to stack the odds against your protag. final girls in slasher movies are usually strong...

@Miracle490d ... and resourceful, the male characters feckless and ineffectual, but the gender politics of slashers are still far from clear. also, don't forget lara croft!

that said, i think you're mostly right. there's clearly some sexism in EW&DG, clearly some pandering to a teen and preteen male audience (among whom i was included when this show was on). still, krofft superstars was pretty low-budget, hastily made so political readings have to contend with a high signal-to-noise ratio.

OMG! Did she say Electra-de-gravitate!? I LOVE IT!

[highway234]

not only that, she said it while in free fall!

Indeed this show contributed to the "tastes" I have now.*wicked grin* I too am 40 and I loved this show when it was on.

[bikerchrish]

im 40 and I believe I have a fetish for broads in spandex because of dyna girl lol.

GREAT TRASH

@Miracle490d: I dunno--Diedre Hall otherwise had a fine acting career. Lighten up, the Sid and Marty Kroft shows were hilarious.

[Miracle490d]

@NickB1967 It's really easy to tell who are the men and who are the women commenting on this. Clearly you don't care if the only real power these women have is in their bras holding up what they got in front.

[Miracle490d]

@LiberaLib Well that's weaker than Wonder Woman. Seems like the only good Woman hero was Jamie Summers the bionic woman. They should do a remake of her or completely do over a woman with some serious power equal to the men heros. The comedy My Super Ex-girlfriend was a better role model. We must've been more easily impressed as kids. Cuz looks like (unless altered with real power) these girls would only be good for a porno remake by all the male whoops.

[LiberaLib]

@Miracle490d yeah, electrowoman's superpower seemed to just be to push buttons on that little bracelet. and dynagirl's superpower seemed to be to say some sorta robin-like sidekick quip and ask electrowoman what to do.

[Miracle490d]

@highway234 I was just saying they ought to make a remake of a serious Woman hero, but wonder Woman had no real serious power. Stopping bullets with bracelets is really pretty stupid. even martial arts has limits. If I was a criminal, I'd just aim for wonder woman's leg. If she tries to block that low with her wrists, she's open for a shot to the shoulder. Marvel Comics really jipped women.And wasn't wonder woman's secret identity some kind of secretary? How could a secretary get an invisible...

@aidenbullo i know right. she's so damn fine. dyna girl looks kinda hot in a dorky way.
