Given they're taking a boat from an island filled with the chosen of a greek goddess, and there are plenty of magical artifacts on the island, I wouldn't be too surprised. Honestly I expected the boat to be magic, probably teleporting at some point.
Gameorama91 In BvS she said that she walked away from civilization 100 yrs ago, meaning she probably gave up and never interfered with the 2nd world war.
I hope they make some kind of easter egg or something or just one line from her saying something about she been there, I wont like to watch another WW movie in another World War
I actually used to think the same thing about the marksman's story line but I had it pointed out to me that his story was actually a lot deeper than I originally thought it was meant to be. The typical way that a story about a marksman with PTSD would normally end would be with the marksman magically getting over his PTSD and saving the day by shooting someone, which I'd argue would just make his PTSD worse if anything. Wonder Woman did an excellent job subverting a lot of typical tropes and Charlie's was really the best because in any other story, he would have gotten to the scene where he's ready to give up and he would have either left only to come back later in some big, dramatic, convenient, and incredibly unbelievably moment, or the others would have convinced him to come along and told him that ha can still shoot if he just tries. Instead of either of those things, Diana encourages him to come with them by suggesting he sing for them along the way, showing that she values something very humanizing about him rather than his ability to kill. Charlies arc could have been better, I won't deny that, but there was certainly an arc to speak of and it wasn't as bad as I've seen people suggest.
Sir Crimson nope. Matthias Patrick is a twat nonce. He only pinned a comment defending him and completely denouncing, condemning opinion and criticism. MATPAT PINNED A COMMENT AGAINST FREE FUCKING SPEECH.
MatPat: Her whole name, Diana, is based on the Greek goddess. Me: ExcUSE me sir but Diana is the Roman goddess of the hunt. Artemis is her Greek counter part. (PS no hate, I love the channel, and your videos, I just read too much Percy Jackson) (Edit a y e a r later, hello to the people who corrected my spelling as if that were something important. Also, I am aware that Rick Riordan’s books are only based on mythology, not a completely accurate representation. Despite that, it is accurate enough for me to know that Diana is Roman and Artemis is Greek. Hope y’all are holding up in quarantine, and I recommend the Magnus Chase series if you like Percy Jackson and are looking for something to read. It’s got a wonderful story and wonderful representation).
I would think it was pretty common knowledge that greek and roman gods are pretty much one and the same. greek under a roman label, for the most part. stealing gods were quite stylish back then, I understand. :)
A few things, first Zack only did the story not the script meaning it likely read something to the effect of Diana leaves Femescura with Steve and make their way back to London where... Secondly it's never stated that it's a Brittish tug boat, it's possible that it was an allied ship that Steve talked into taking them or It's possible he used the phrase tug boat because any ship taking them would've tugged them there and instead of explaining the differences between ships to Diana, a woman who knows practically nothing about the world he used tug boat as its pretty self explanatory. Hope this is thoughtful and not condescending, love your work!
Gotta say, you spelt Themyscira wrong. Also, he never really took the time to oversimplify things later, and most of the time where he realizes how little she knows about the world comes after the boat ride. The allied boat in general thing may work out, but it still may take too much time, considering how slow the tugboat would be going. 14 knots ain't much to go 3300 miles.
Wow. So basically everything about the rest of the movie hinges on the success of the boat ride. That's scarier than the rest of the movie's twists and turns if you ask me.
Well, i have a problem with the Movie. Cause it's objectively bad. Main Character is running on Feminism alone, she has nothing other that charges her Battery. Just feminism - and that's in fact the worst of all characters. She's a hollow vessel for vague ability sets and completly hollow believes, repeating the statement "Truth is what you believe." Only idiots believe that the Truth is what you believe - this is a naive, dumb Mindset, in fact. She's just a badly written character.
@Kristopher Leffingwell I did and was disappointed in it tbh , It had an amazing cast but lacked vision.... I recently watched it again to give it another chance but it only made it worse.... Not to mention WW84 was even worse and made me hate one of my favourite childhood hero
Zack Snyder movies in a nutshell Here's something nice Now here's that thing in a washed out color pallet LET'S ADD IN SOME EXPLOSIONS HERE'S A SKY BEAM!!!!!! AM I CONNECTING WITH YOU YET?!?!?!?!?!??!?!!?!
@@JianCB2 umm yeah i'm pretty sure that @Earl Brooks was making a joke. quoting the video. people are allowed to quote the video saying that matpat's joke is funny. stop being rude af
MatPat I hate to say it, Just know i only point this out for love (for the film theories), the main thing that you are forgetting is Themyscira itself. In the comic books Themyscira is called Paradise Island and like it stated in the movie "the island blessed by the Olympian Gods, no man was allowed to physically set foot on it" and what is not stated is that the Island can move to any location on earth (like the island in lost) possibly by Zeus or the Queen.. Using that logic then the island at that time of the plane crash could have been where you said it was. then when the plane crashed into the island it could have moved closer to london and moved again when Diana left to ensure that the location of the island can not be found by outsiders. Zeus knowing that all this needed to happen. I do have to give Gadot Props though she was 5 month pregnant during filling of the movie.
Steve and his plane were the breaking point of the whole shield in the island. After he crashed, men came after him and discovered it. The scene where Diana saw the plane entering, it looked like it broke an invisible barrier
Themyscira doesn't have a set location, which is part of the reason why once you leave you can never return. So who knows, when they crossed the fog they might've been spat out into the English Canal.
christina1986ify that’s actually really probable but the island must always be moving locations which could technically mean that they could have been spat out ANYWHERE and they could have just gotten REALLY lucky
Forgive my shameful knowledge of DC (and Greek mythology, my only qualification to speak on this is some research and reading Percy Jackson), but Ares is in this movie, and he’s a Greek god. Plus, there’s a comic (believe it’s Injustice) where literally every god shows up and they all are Greek gods. Maybe for the sake of the DCEU Diana is a Greek god, because there seem to be very few Roman gods in this franchise. Artemis is Diana’s counterpart, maybe they just didn’t want to call her Artemis
But The German's Plane *Will Not Change* As Far As That Plane Can Go, Is Italy... (IF The Island Is Not In Somewhere Near Turkey, *Then The Plane Will NEVER Crash There...* Sooo Yeah, Unless The Island Is Moving More Faster Than A Jet..... Which Is Impossible..... It's Still No Use 😅)
@@imashadow699 From memory in the comics the island pretty much just magically teleported from place to place. So it's theoretically possible - especially if you assume whatever force moves the island wanted Diana to succeed. But if that's the case the film *really* should have at least mentioned briefly that the island had this capability...
Here's my theory: What if Ares wanted Diana to get there? What if he wanted her help, like he said when she was trying to kill him? That would explain getting there in one day, and how they were "lucky enough" to get a tugboat!
That's honestly a good idea. this comment is sorta under 'liked' cuz this seems like what would have likely happened. But there are still not evidence to help it out, plus if Zeus was trying to make it hidden (to the ancient Greeks anyway) wouldnt he have placed it in a place outside of the areas that the Greeks has been? And if this was the idea, it could be literally anywhere in the seas. Still good theory and thanks for reading. And this is just a COMMENT, A COMMENT THEORY _using an over used joke based on the quote of the video's youtuber_ ! Have a great day :>
If they made it there by the means of a deity shouldn't the spy have noticed how soon they made it back comparatively to how long it took him to get to Turkey in the first place? Didn't Ares also mention first seeing her in that one room in England? Not sure about that lat one but these are my thoughts
Yeah, but Diana is the Roman form of Artemis and the Greek gods we’re all killed by Ares in the beginning so they chose Diana, the roman goddess that pretty much copies Artemis, who is the leader of the hunt. And if I remember correctly in one of the mythology’s there are a group of people called the amazons which are like the hunt so it is saying that Diana is like Artemis who leads the hunt who is like the Amazons. This is my guess that makes the most sense to me at least
Artemis/Diana is a hunter who uses bows and knifes and is a eternal maiden (virgin) / man hater and sister of Apollo also this is Greek mythology not roman it is Artemis not diana
Zeus teleported the boat while the two slept, and when Steve (who at this time is still not entirely convinced on Diana's reality) woke up he resolved that they 'got lucky'. This explanation is actually hinted at in one of the comics as well, through one of Ares' insults that without Zeus, Diana's mission would have inevitably failed. Excellent video as always though MatPat, always love seeing these numbers crunched, no ill will whatsoever, just wanted to bring that little fact to light.
DailyTop5s literally the only part of the comment that is truly in relation to the movie is the part about Steve thinking they "got lucky" which is also mentioned in this video.... I haven't seen the movie once and I knew that part thanks to this video.... the rest of the comment is comic book lore... seriously, context clues honey...
That could have happened. It totally makes sense. However, the movie doesn't mention help from Poseidon or any other sea god. It would have been really easy too. Steve: "I'm not complaining, but how'd we get here so fast?" Wonder Woman: "I prayed to several sea gods to speed us on our way." Steve: "Neat."
The whole Greece thing isn't much to go on for location. The people of Themyscira are reincarnated souls of women who were killed by men and created by Hippolyta and Antiope. After Ares tried to take over the island and after Hercules and Hippolyta defeated Ares, the Amazonian people DECIDED to base their island on Greece culture when they rebuilt. They adopted Greece culture, they weren't created into it. Greeks were actually enemy's of the Amazonian's. All lot happened with Hercules, who went mad and took over the Amazon island and forced the Amazons to leave their home. The remaining amazons found a new home in what we call the Bermuda triangle. This island became the new Themyscira and guarded by the magic sphere to protect it from new attackers. After that the original Themyscira gets destroyed. This Wonder Women movie takes place at the NEW Themyscira and can be easily found somewhere in the Bermuda. So they literally live next to the USA, weird right? But this doesnt help much since the closest the Burmuda is to England is 5,472 km. They are still screwed. Just saying.
This film’s mythology is so loosely based on Greek mythology that you really can’t use actual Greek mythology as evidence. For Christ sake, Ares killed all the immortal gods for some reason. And let’s not forget that Ares is an utter, 100 percent bad guy, despite none of the actual gods being "bad", and the only actual villains were the titans.
the great lotfi Real mature, Oscar Neri, he makes other mistakes too; for the Better Call Saul theory, he stated what everyone knew the first episode...
Themyscira is a constantly moving island. Which would explain why it's so hard or impossible for Diana to ever return to the island. The island wouldn't be in the same place it was when she left. Could the islands "mythical" movement (during Steve's capture and interrogation) put Diana closer to London at the time they left sailing? Therefore cutting travel time considerably. I'm really curious about this.
Doesn't change the fact that the plane would have to land near Themyscria 'somewhere' near Turkey. And from the video we see that the plane landed right on the very brim and edge of its zone of flight. That was the best possible outcuome.
Awesome theory. Just a little correction though, you are talking about Turkey in the video while it should of been the Ottoman Empire as Turkey as a country was established after WW1 :) (also the flag is a bit different)
I thought Themyscira is never in one location it was how they stayed hidden from Ares also why Diana may never find her way back home. although the pacing of the movie was off like i felt they cover a vast amount of ground on foot with like no time passing, the film could of used some more transitions to make it feel as time passed. also maybe magic boat?
Even if the island wasn't in the pinpointed coordinates, Steve did started his flight in Turkey, and that puts enough distance for both the plane and the boat.
Ponera Grimoire Apparently not, otherwise they wouldn't need to sail overnight. However, it's possible that it periodically changes location (as part of the enchantment making it difficult to find) and was closer to London when they left it. Diana's mother warns her that if she leaves the island she may never return. This could be an Amazonian rule of law or she could be referring to how difficult it would be to find it again...
The original script of the movie had an explanation for the fast travel. They were ment to fly on Steve's plane, because it didn't crash previously. Somewhere along the way writers crashed the plane, replaced it with a boat, and it never crossed their mind again.
I love how this channel is about science and its real-world applications and implications, yet most of the comments I've seen have basically been, "But Matpat, what about frickin' MAGIC?!?! You didn't think about that did you! Theory disproved!" No, he didn't think about your silly magic boat, and the *theory* (look up theory if you don't know its real meaning) is not disproved. *muttering to myself* Magic boats...are these people serious?
Tyler Whetstone THE WHOLE MOVIE IS ABOUT MAGIC Lmao why is magic such a crazy nonsensical idea in the movie where the main character is literally a God
jeduhh I'm not mad at all. I understand that it's just a movie and everyone's opinions are valid (to a point). I just thought the comments were humorous.
Stein Your comment is the kind that I find funny. Yeah, I get that there's a magic lasso and gods and other things, but the fact that everyone is so up in arms about is funny, especially on this channel.
I've read some of the comments and just want to point something out. To all those who say that Poseidon could have helped her travel, HE IS DEAD, the say that in the movie that basically all the gods except Zeus and Aries are dead
True but if it were a magic boat then why did it take them a whole day and night to get to London it seams like it'd it were magic it would have taken less time. You know?
Whether theories age well or not I love watching them because there was still time and effort and until proven wrong you usually do a great job at convincing me of your theories or if they’re proven correct or blows my mind because it’s all so well done
It took me a LONG time to realize this, but MatPat is WRONG! There are two clues that indicate that the boat ride from the island to England did in fact take two weeks! Clue one: Diana falls asleep with her hair knotted in a braid rope, but wakes up with it loose and free-flowing. Clue two: Etta Candy says when she sees Steve that she hadn't heard from him in two weeks. That second one used to confuse me, but the research in this theory explains how that makes sense - he's been on a boat for two weeks and couldn't contact her. THEORY DENIED! I am copy/pasting this comment as replies all over this comment section so people might see it, this theory is old and no one will see the OP but it's really important here. Apologies for the spam if anyone gets this comment more than once.
Wandergirl108 That makes no sence. What if wteve just untied her hair? And what if he was just gone for two weeks? considering hes a spy he has to have been gone for a while.
+Wandergirl108 They would be sailing 3,300 miles which would take a long time to sail in a Greek ship and that is counting if they even make it out the Mediterranean Sea Because as he said the ship could not change directions it would be more likely if they got stuck on the coast of Italy rather than get out of the Mediterranean Sea If the rare chance they did they would have enough food for the journey and even than they would have more chance of straying off course to London and even if they were on the right course that would have taken more than 2 weeks at best and I am going to trail back to the beginning saying they only have two people on this ship which I think would slow them down even more and to be fair we do not count the journey they took at all like if they were any storms or even tidal waves that prevented them
Wandergirl108 Actually that does make sense, I can see that. But, what about their supplies? The movie didn't show any hint of that. Nice Theory though, it could indeed be true.
Thanks MatPat, you helped me with my English exams through your theories, as in, the way you analyse them gives me a template on how to analyse the stories and poems we're given. I've gotten from a level 5 to a level 7 through watching your videos, so I just want to say thank you (So many likes, thanks guys!)
HOLY SHIT YES. I'm gonna be honesty Mat Pat, it's been hard to sit through a lot of your videos recently, but this type of video (sticking to pure numbers and facts with no opinions) is my favorite from your channels. Please try to keep this up, I want another golden age of the theory channels
@@tekkengod2120 Ares says something like "humans don't deserve to live" and then WW gives that reply. Basically even if humans deserve to be destroyed after horrible things they've done, she believes they're better than that
but maybe it was magic- maybe the gods were working in their favor, but I guess that doesn't explain it because Steve isn't surprised at how fast they a arrived. and who knows, maybe themiscyra is in a wierd magic almost wormhole like thing
Isn't Diana a roman goddess? I thought she was the Roman equivalent of Artemis. I don't even care anymore. The movie already butchered Greek mythology. Edit: Ok so Diana is the Roman counterpart of Artemis but Wonder Woman is just named after Diana. They are not the same person, got it.
Yeahh.... I cringe every time people get that mixed up. And I completely agree that Wonderwoman completely messed up their Greek mythology. My friend and I (we both know greek mythology) were laughing every time the movie got it wrong when we saw it in the cinema.
Alright, finally, iI found somebody who agree's. First of all, AMAZON WHERE COMMONLY CHILDREN OF ARES, AND THEY HAD A FLIPPIN MASSIVE ISLAND DEDICATED TO HIM GAURDED BY CROWS THAT THROW THEIR FEATHERS LIKE DARTS. Also, Ares gave them the belt for the Amazon Queen that gifted her great strength. (P.S. POSEIDON HATES ARES HE WOULD NEVER HELP THE AMAZONS!)
7:08 Steve's not an idiot. He knew he wasn't making it the whole way to London on a tank of gas. Me in 2021 knowing that in the new Wonder Woman 84 movie, Steve spoiler spoiler spoiler a jet aircraft the whole way around the world and back on a tank of gas.
Look, Im greek and all of your theories are true BUT Diana is roman not greek she is just connected with the greek gods for some reason. Anyway good vid.
No offense, and I apologize if this is offensive anyway, but aren't most Roman and Greek gods the same, just with different names? Like how the monotheistic religions all have "God", but the names like "Allah" and "YHWH" for Muslims and Jews respectively? Neptune=Poseidon, Mars=Ares etc...
Time out mat pat... in the comics it states Themyscira is a magical island that THE GODS welcome you into or let you out of. It also says their can be found anywhere depending on if they want you to enter. So they could have just as easily left Themyscira and appeared close to London. BOOM
The comic timeline and universe is not the same as the movie timeline and universe. If they do not specifically mention it in the movies then you can't just fill it in from the comics, It would be like using Earth 616 Marvel universe rules and applying it to Earth-199999 (MCU). You can't do it, as far as we know in the DCEU Themyscira does not move since we were never told it did.
Even if it can appear wherever the gods need it, Steve can't magically make his Fokker have enough fuel to go anywhere past the Aegean Sea. While the island has magical abilities, Steve and his plane don't, so it has to be, in the context of the movie, somewhere in that range of where the plane can fly on a full tank of gas
Diana is a Roman Goddess, the goddess of the moon and hunting. She is the equivalent Greek goddess Artemis. Diana wasn't a greek goddess xD I suppose since the Romans technically copied the Greek gods, Diana is essentially artemis, but still the statement made towards the beginning of the video is inaccurate. By the way Mat keep up the good work, love your vids, just thought I would leave some 'constructive criticism ' to correct the slight error made in the vid.
in this case i think he means Diana as in wonder woman, cause that's her real name. It's just coincidence that WW shares the name with the roman goddess
I only mentioned this because between the middle and beginning of the video, he said that her name was shared by a famous Greek goddess. However, I see where you are coming from. Thx for the feedback
The whole point of the theorist community is that we overthink things. The first thing we want to do when he comes out with a theory is poke holes in it, because that's the fun part. He pokes holes in movies, we poke holes in his holes. That's what makes this community great. MatPat, we may constantly dissect your theories, but that just means they're good enough to merit our dissection. We love them and we love you! (in a strictly platonic way, of course)
Cillian Brouder I think it's because Themysceria is an alternate realm- similar to Olympus- it isn't of earth- and the wall of glass they went through is like the bifrost- it's a gateway, and the boat can be pre-navigated to fit the user's will- it is magical after all. Themysceria- even in comics- was never a physical place on earth. It was a realm. So what Pat is saying- is debunked, IF Themysceria is not of earth, and only if. Because when they went through the portal- it didn't always take them to the same place every time.
Reginald Asare like while she was sleeping? Or?? Also its been insinuated that Themyscira is located within the Devil’s Triangle.. and there are a few. Also there are indications in ww comics they were advanced with their ancient technology so maybe they developed their boats? Or a fun way they could have used would be to use the gods as a way to transport them from within the triangle to wherever it is they need to go. At least you can create your own theories out of that, that might make more sense
Matpat are you ok because you honestly sound sick of this stuff. I understand though, people hate on you so much it's unreasonable. Hope you feel better buddy. I love your work and you're extremely inspirational. Never stop and don't listen to what those jerks say. I care about you buddy.
X naM ageM Reversed Maybe he is overwhelmed by the amount, but it doesn't change the fact that a lot of the criticism is correct. I am just guessing that most humans have hard time mentally handling the negative feedback since our cynical minds tends to focus on the negative first.
Osvaldo Correa ikrrr but I think doctor who is too complex to theorize about its just to convoluted and such a long running series with so many different writers and doctors which causes overlaps and Fallacies in the plot and cannon
What if the island exists beyond the mortal plain of reality and can be anywhere on earth at different times as it was used by the gods to house their protectors of humanity which means they are close to the biggest conflict in the world
When you said "Greece-y" at 5:11 you put me so off kilter that every time you said Greece I interpreted it as grease for the rest of the episode. Dang it, MatPat.
To be honest, I could care less if anything in your videos might be wrong (Even though personally I agree with nearly all of your videos). I'm just here to watch really interesting videos that over-analyze movies, games and TV shows we love because it's entertaining and puts your brain to work. MatPat isn't a supergenius, he's a theorist. Nobody should be able to tear him, or anyone down because there opinion differs from someone's own. Ignore the hate MatPat, 5 million people would have to disagree with them. ;)
Hail Giratina The true god These videos are interesting and entertaining but if we're fed false information, the value of the video goes through the floor. We're also here to learn about our favourite games or movies, false information doesn't help that. Not sure about his video yet, haven't watched it yet.
could i say one thing? why does his videos have to be correct? It's a theory after all, you either accept it or you dont, heck it's a fictional movie so it wont happen in real life you may even add, again it's for fun. most of the time theories arent even accurate so if youre convinced then you agree with the theory if not then you dont case close
well lets be fair. The film/game theorists is all about how to use science and facts to explain something a game/movie presents to us. This is not supposed to be his opinion, it is supposed to be factual so if his videos are "wrong" as you say, what is the point in watching them? The reason some people "tear him... down" is because he is objectively wrong, not subjectively.
While I agree about not putting down people for their opinions, the people were pointing out facts he got wrong which irritated those viewers. They weren't doing that because they didn't like his opinion.
why do you assume his fan base is little kids? I am a long time fan and see most of "criticism" as hate, because it's literally just calling him names and making fun of him instead of pointing out what is wrong with the theories or research.
Mat I love your vids but in the comics it is even told that The island of themyscira is never in the same place for the reason of never being found and always shifts out of reality that is why when wonder woman leaves she takes years to ever go back because of the magic that is used to protect the island from the outside world it's even said that Hera was the one to put protective spells in order for exile amazons to never return which Wonder Woman becomes when she leaves with Steve so it could be that when they sailed out of the protective barrier they were a lot closer to London due to the island its self trying to help her Ik it sounds like reaching quite a bit but the movie uses comic book logic which usual mean there is always an explanation for what happens that doesn't seem to make sense in real life I mean the island exists out of time and "space" due to magic yet Steve finds it one time and no man ever finds it again -_- soooo
Jordan Garcia brooo.... The island appearing and disappearing randomly makes the whole thing even MORE confusing. How sure are we that they spawned near London? Plus, no matter how good a navigator steve is, navigating their exact location, direction, and where to go for the allied ships is going to be IMPOSSIBLE. Navigating the direction theyre heading based on the night sky assuming that they had a clear sky wont do much since all theyd know is where north south west and east are but thats it. Unless the boat had the magical property of Jack Sparrow's compass then and only then MAYBE just MAYBE they'd get there. Good point though. But it makes it all the more confusing hahahaha.
We haven't seen that as canon yet in the movie timeline, and we haven't even seen the invisible jet, and we're not sure those will be explained yet, but good theory
You know Mat, you are probably in my opinion the best theorist in my knowledge, even when your claims sound dumb at first but you always find a way to prove yourself correct! This leads me to almost never even question your claims in the first place! You could just say Europe sunk in to the ocean yesterday and I would believe you
What I don't get about this movie is that the movie revolves around Greek Mythology, and yet her name is Roman. The goddess Diana is a Roman God and her name in Greek is Artemis, so how come she is called Diana?
Because she was named Diana in the comics. That being said it's no surprise if certain Greek characters both real, myth and fictional at any given time period would have Roman names. Considering the Greeks themselves have intermingled with Romans in the past both in real life and in fiction. Take for example Appolonia of the first Godfather movie. When they first described her to her father they mentioned she seemed more Greek than Italian. So if a half Greek half Italian could live in Sicily then it wouldn't be a surprise if Diana of Themyscira had Roman blood or if Hippolyta just liked the name.
If you want to get that much into it, the Amazons weren't even Greek. Not in mythology, not in real life. Mythology puts their origins either in Lybia, or in present-day Ukraine. The Scythian women whom the Greeks most likely based the Amazons upon lived in the latter area. This is just another case of pop-culture diluting and mixing things together.
ariana.shelton7649 i have a question for you, which name sounds better? Diana does, shes a character BASED on the goddess artemis, they mustve thought it would be funny to give her, her Roman name just for fun, who knows? Sure the name is wrong but its based on artemis, how do i know? What names do they use for the other gods? Ares, zeus, and the others which are all the greek version because if it were to be Roman, Ares wouldve been called Mars
Hi Matt Can You Please Explain Me How Did Wonderwoman Got Her Sword 'Godkiller' Back As Long As I Remember Her Sword Was Destroyed By Aries In "WONDERWOMAN" Movie And In "BatmanVSuperman" She Had That Sword. Thanks For Reading
Syed Shaf Ahmmed Zeus probably reconstructed it somehow because he's the main god of Greek mythology and he can do anything apparently or her mother hippolyta or something like that or Gaia or someone
Greek empire??? Greece never had an empire but city states, what you are referring to is Macedon empire from Alexander the Great conquest, which fell apart after Alexander died
Medival X I was just going to say that. It's a Superhero movie based on Greek and somewhat Roman Mythology. They have literal magic cups in mythology why not boats? I kinda feel that it would be implied that a pocket mythological community would have some magical mythological ways of travel.
Matpat I agree, mostly my problem is that you just assumed that hey they got a tug boat, Steve never said tug boat he just said that they got a ride by a Ally(or in other words friend) nothing else but there is a boat that could get them there in 4 days and 9 hours the boat is RMS Mauretania the boat was first sent in 1906 and landed (somewhere) in 1907 that boat has enough time to get near Italy or Turkey. Or say be going to England.The script says nothing about a date so they could have been on sea for 4 days and 9 hours and just sleep in the same spot for that entire time(if that boat were to pull them the entire time ) the hours may vary depending on the speed the boat was traveling at. BTW you did A great job on this matpat and Ronnie awesome editing
shit jayce ph It still doesn't make sense since she should have known that they were helped if she didn't sleep for 4 straight days and therefore wouldn't have needed to be told so.
FiberBacca yes, but the ship was capable of moving thousands of light years and he was still a kid when he got to earth. So even if space has a wormhole effect, he'd still be unable to even leap across buildings in a single bound
This is my favorite kind of theory, the kind who’s subject is some unexpected and almost comedically absurd thing that is also oddly mundane and as so is used for fun factoids and important details of the real world and how it works. And because it’s almost laughably silly and absurd, you can enjoy the theory without feeling like the movie/game/series in question or the message of it is ruined.
According to myths, the Amazonians grew their empire even outside of Greece and they also had a patron Goddess, Artemis who may have lended her powers to get them to London faster. This being said the Amazonians were known to frequently be provided with help from Artemis and their other patron God, Ares thanks to the works of Otera. And in a movie with unrealistic elements, it may not be a surprise that Greek Gods come into this, as they have been mentioned in the movie multiple times.
Yes, but there is no proof in the film that Wonder Woman wasn't named after the Roman form of their patron Goddess. It never implies or states that she is the same Diana as the myths.
The people in the comments saying about how Diana could have sailed faster to the warzone because of her relation to Poseidon being her uncle made her sail faster, or some god/goddess helping her sail faster are all wrong. 1) During the course of the movie, it is said several times that all of the Olympians fought in a war against Ares that got them all killed. Except for Ares. And don't say the whole, "gods can't die, they're immortal" bullshit as Ares himself says that only a god can kill a god, and that Master of War slaughtered the entire Greek pantheon single-handedly, making the idea that Uncle Poseidon helped Diana along in her journey not possible. 2) Just because Diana is related to Poseidon, doesn't make her share the same powers. That typically would be the case with direct descendants of gods but not nephew/uncle relations. That would be the equivalent of saying that Diana can just bring Steve Trevor back from the dead because her other uncle was Hades, the King of the Underworld, or even bring back the Amazons that died in the First Encounter with the Germans. Please watch the damn movie before launching into speculations based off of only opinion and no film knowledge.
i was pretty sure that themyscira is another dimension, in the comics its "a place you cant get to unless you already know how to get there" as in you can scour the entire earth and not find it. sounds like another dimension to me so i dont see any reason they cant enter our dimension at any point on the globe.... but the movie is a different "universe" and the "caught a ride" line kind of implies steve navigated which might ruin that explanation.
Yeah also I thought that if there was some godly power making it faster, wouldn't Steve have noticed? Surely he knows he can't sail from Greece to London in a day
Amazons were given gifts by the gods when they were created, so that they could be better diplomats. We know that, because Diana tells us so when what's-his-bucket questions her ability to speak in any language. I don't think it's much of a stretch to suppose that the gods also gave them magic boats so that they could get to conflicts-in-the-making before they became, you know, actual military conflicts.
Mat I am a Greek my self, I don't know if you had ever been in Greece, but our islands are not even close to the climate of the island in the movie, my theory is that the island is something like the "LOST" series and teleports in time and space, mentioning that every single island of Greece in that period was habbitant. Please notice me senpai
@Pug money Geography doesnt change that quickly. It takes millions and millions of years for terrain to change significantly. Greece today looks basically the same it did during ancient greece
Matpat everyone knows they ran into a convienience wormhole that allows them to arrive where the plot needs them to be
Thats right LOL 😂
Ah it all makes sense now!
Or convenience Poseidon moved them along, he does exist in DC after all
Absolutely correct, lol
obvioulsy
Huh. They lost me when they both went to sleep at the same time leaving no one to pilot the boat. At that point I just figured a wizard did it.
Given they're taking a boat from an island filled with the chosen of a greek goddess, and there are plenty of magical artifacts on the island, I wouldn't be too surprised. Honestly I expected the boat to be magic, probably teleporting at some point.

Here's a better Wonder Woman Theory... Where was she during World War 2?
Hey, there's always the chance for a Wonder Woman 2 lol
She was probably fighting Cheetah somewhere outside of Europe.
Gameorama91 In BvS she said that she walked away from civilization 100 yrs ago, meaning she probably gave up and never interfered with the 2nd world war.
I hope they make some kind of easter egg or something or just one line from her saying something about she been there, I wont like to watch another WW movie in another World War
Wonder WOman2 is in the works. though it's supposed to take place during the "Cold War", but that could be anywhere from the late 40s to the early 90s
"That trick is so old..." I kept waiting for the payoff. Got me good, MatPat.
I actually used to think the same thing about the marksman's story line but I had it pointed out to me that his story was actually a lot deeper than I originally thought it was meant to be.
The typical way that a story about a marksman with PTSD would normally end would be with the marksman magically getting over his PTSD and saving the day by shooting someone, which I'd argue would just make his PTSD worse if anything. Wonder Woman did an excellent job subverting a lot of typical tropes and Charlie's was really the best because in any other story, he would have gotten to the scene where he's ready to give up and he would have either left only to come back later in some big, dramatic, convenient, and incredibly unbelievably moment, or the others would have convinced him to come along and told him that ha can still shoot if he just tries. Instead of either of those things, Diana encourages him to come with them by suggesting he sing for them along the way, showing that she values something very humanizing about him rather than his ability to kill.
Charlies arc could have been better, I won't deny that, but there was certainly an arc to speak of and it wasn't as bad as I've seen people suggest.
FINALLY SOMEONE WITH BRAINS GETS IT PIN THIS MATPAT I SWEAR TO ZEUS YOU BETTER PIN IT

A few things, first Zack only did the story not the script meaning it likely read something to the effect of Diana leaves Femescura with Steve and make their way back to London where...
Secondly it's never stated that it's a Brittish tug boat, it's possible that it was an allied ship that Steve talked into taking them or
It's possible he used the phrase tug boat because any ship taking them would've tugged them there and instead of explaining the differences between ships to Diana, a woman who knows practically nothing about the world he used tug boat as its pretty self explanatory.
Hope this is thoughtful and not condescending, love your work!
Maston Dane did you just call it FEMiscura
Gotta say, you spelt Themyscira wrong. Also, he never really took the time to oversimplify things later, and most of the time where he realizes how little she knows about the world comes after the boat ride. The allied boat in general thing may work out, but it still may take too much time, considering how slow the tugboat would be going. 14 knots ain't much to go 3300 miles.
Well, lets say best case scenario then. What was the fastest boat at the time?
Maston Dane Still would've taken time no matter what type of boat it is. Right?
In early 1900s
Diana is a *Roman* goddess,her Greek counterpart is Artemis.

@@lanajane778 There aren't any indications for that, there aren't even any quotation marks.
MatPat I hate to say it, Just know i only point this out for love (for the film theories), the main thing that you are forgetting is Themyscira itself. In the comic books Themyscira is called Paradise Island and like it stated in the movie "the island blessed by the Olympian Gods, no man was allowed to physically set foot on it" and what is not stated is that the Island can move to any location on earth (like the island in lost) possibly by Zeus or the Queen.. Using that logic then the island at that time of the plane crash could have been where you said it was. then when the plane crashed into the island it could have moved closer to london and moved again when Diana left to ensure that the location of the island can not be found by outsiders. Zeus knowing that all this needed to happen. I do have to give Gadot Props though she was 5 month pregnant during filling of the movie.
It doesn't say that in the movie therefore it didn't happen.
Marken Gamer a planes not a foot bruh
LOGIC/MOVIE MAGIC !!
1. It's not that no man is capable, but that no man is allowed.
2. The island moves according to its inhabitants' wishes, even moving through time.
Steve and his plane were the breaking point of the whole shield in the island. After he crashed, men came after him and discovered it. The scene where Diana saw the plane entering, it looked like it broke an invisible barrier
It took me 5 seconds to understand the joke at the beginning
Rayan Ghamdi what is it...
I didn't get it
Yeah. Ikr that joke was really
Confused af
Themyscira doesn't have a set location, which is part of the reason why once you leave you can never return. So who knows, when they crossed the fog they might've been spat out into the English Canal.
@Alyssa Kazmierczak it is cannon in a few of the comics I've read - granted that was a while ago.
or the island always moves
betcha dint thinka that didja?
christina1986ify and they caught ride via tug boat
christina1986ify that’s actually really probable but the island must always be moving locations which could technically mean that they could have been spat out ANYWHERE and they could have just gotten REALLY lucky
@@pokegirl1799 for all we know they could be spit out in Australia.
Anyone else a Greek mythology nerd and got super annoyed when he said Diana was a Greek goddess! No, I’m crazy, Okay!
Issabella Donna im greek and trust me it was painful
She's a roman goddess not Greek
You are crazy
Yep
Forgive my shameful knowledge of DC (and Greek mythology, my only qualification to speak on this is some research and reading Percy Jackson), but Ares is in this movie, and he’s a Greek god. Plus, there’s a comic (believe it’s Injustice) where literally every god shows up and they all are Greek gods. Maybe for the sake of the DCEU Diana is a Greek god, because there seem to be very few Roman gods in this franchise. Artemis is Diana’s counterpart, maybe they just didn’t want to call her Artemis
Well I think Diana got shipped by a ship from Amazon
Yes bad Joke BUllY ME AS MUCH AS U WANT!

Decent joke
Pretty Awesome... Amazon Prime (Diana) *does* guarantee overnight shipping.
The thing is...the island appears randomly in random places
But The German's Plane *Will Not Change*
As Far As That Plane Can Go, Is Italy...
(IF The Island Is Not In Somewhere Near Turkey, *Then The Plane Will NEVER Crash There...*
Sooo Yeah, Unless The Island Is Moving More Faster Than A Jet..... Which Is Impossible..... It's Still No Use 😅)
@@imashadow699 From memory in the comics the island pretty much just magically teleported from place to place. So it's theoretically possible - especially if you assume whatever force moves the island wanted Diana to succeed. But if that's the case the film *really* should have at least mentioned briefly that the island had this capability...
The movie didn’t establish that, though.
So literal teleporting deus ex machina saved the movie, great!
One of the places seems to be in mediterranean climate of near London, as It seems
Here's my theory: What if Ares wanted Diana to get there? What if he wanted her help, like he said when she was trying to kill him? That would explain getting there in one day, and how they were "lucky enough" to get a tugboat!
That's honestly a good idea. this comment is sorta under 'liked' cuz this seems like what would have likely happened. But there are still not evidence to help it out, plus if Zeus was trying to make it hidden (to the ancient Greeks anyway) wouldnt he have placed it in a place outside of the areas that the Greeks has been? And if this was the idea, it could be literally anywhere in the seas. Still good theory and thanks for reading.
And this is just a COMMENT, A COMMENT THEORY _using an over used joke based on the quote of the video's youtuber_ ! Have a great day :>
Professor Bacon sure, but this is a movie where the antagonist is a god. there's probably magic involved
She did not kill Ares she killed Hermes but Hermes is the god of travel and thuggery
...no, Ares killed Hermes, along with all the other gods.
If they made it there by the means of a deity shouldn't the spy have noticed how soon they made it back comparatively to how long it took him to get to Turkey in the first place? Didn't Ares also mention first seeing her in that one room in England? Not sure about that lat one but these are my thoughts

This isn't breaking the theory but Diana is Roman mythology, Artemis is the Greek version of Diana
Thank you thank you myth follower
Yeah, but Diana is the Roman form of Artemis and the Greek gods we’re all killed by Ares in the beginning so they chose Diana, the roman goddess that pretty much copies Artemis, who is the leader of the hunt. And if I remember correctly in one of the mythology’s there are a group of people called the amazons which are like the hunt so it is saying that Diana is like Artemis who leads the hunt who is like the Amazons. This is my guess that makes the most sense to me at least
Artemis/Diana is a hunter who uses bows and knifes and is a eternal maiden (virgin) / man hater and sister of Apollo also this is Greek mythology not roman it is Artemis not diana
Isn't Diana literally the daughter of Zeus?
clap clap clap clap clap
so..... wheres the bow ?
Zeus teleported the boat while the two slept, and when Steve (who at this time is still not entirely convinced on Diana's reality) woke up he resolved that they 'got lucky'. This explanation is actually hinted at in one of the comics as well, through one of Ares' insults that without Zeus, Diana's mission would have inevitably failed. Excellent video as always though MatPat, always love seeing these numbers crunched, no ill will whatsoever, just wanted to bring that little fact to light.

Poseidon is a bitch. Just ask Odysseus.
Lauren Anderson Poseidon is dead
Ares killed all the gods
Is in a prision of America, Morty!
That could have happened. It totally makes sense. However, the movie doesn't mention help from Poseidon or any other sea god. It would have been really easy too. Steve: "I'm not complaining, but how'd we get here so fast?" Wonder Woman: "I prayed to several sea gods to speed us on our way." Steve: "Neat."
Lol I'm starting to think Wonder Woman might make it if she just swam.
While she sees Sonic.
The whole Greece thing isn't much to go on for location. The people of Themyscira are reincarnated souls of women who were killed by men and created by Hippolyta and Antiope. After Ares tried to take over the island and after Hercules and Hippolyta defeated Ares, the Amazonian people DECIDED to base their island on Greece culture when they rebuilt. They adopted Greece culture, they weren't created into it. Greeks were actually enemy's of the Amazonian's. All lot happened with Hercules, who went mad and took over the Amazon island and forced the Amazons to leave their home. The remaining amazons found a new home in what we call the Bermuda triangle. This island became the new Themyscira and guarded by the magic sphere to protect it from new attackers. After that the original Themyscira gets destroyed. This Wonder Women movie takes place at the NEW Themyscira and can be easily found somewhere in the Bermuda. So they literally live next to the USA, weird right? But this doesnt help much since the closest the Burmuda is to England is 5,472 km. They are still screwed. Just saying.
Actually in the Original plot its somewhere between the Aegean dude
the new thymyscyra isnt in Bermuda either but somewhere in MEDITERRANEAN obviously
Mej
This film’s mythology is so loosely based on Greek mythology that you really can’t use actual Greek mythology as evidence. For Christ sake, Ares killed all the immortal gods for some reason. And let’s not forget that Ares is an utter, 100 percent bad guy, despite none of the actual gods being "bad", and the only actual villains were the titans.
Just a question, isn't Hercules Roman? Isn't Hercales the Greek alternative?
When watching "Wonder Woman" in theaters I was confused when they went from Diana's home to London over night

Themyscira is a constantly moving island. Which would explain why it's so hard or impossible for Diana to ever return to the island. The island wouldn't be in the same place it was when she left. Could the islands "mythical" movement (during Steve's capture and interrogation) put Diana closer to London at the time they left sailing? Therefore cutting travel time considerably. I'm really curious about this.
yes but if it were closer to London Steve's plane wouldn't have made it to Themyscira
could it have maybe moved closer to london ? idk i'm still w matpat but tryna give the benefit of the doubt
Doesn't change the fact that the plane would have to land near Themyscria 'somewhere' near Turkey. And from the video we see that the plane landed right on the very brim and edge of its zone of flight. That was the best possible outcuome.
Christopher Friday no, like, he landed on the island when he did while the island was by turkey and it moved super close to london
Christopher Friday *after he got on it - because "it knew" or because of fate/destiny or magic or something idk

THANK YOU
I thought Themyscira is never in one location it was how they stayed hidden from Ares also why Diana may never find her way back home. although the pacing of the movie was off like i felt they cover a vast amount of ground on foot with like no time passing, the film could of used some more transitions to make it feel as time passed. also maybe magic boat?
its the crimean peninsula, the actor is slavic
Even if the island wasn't in the pinpointed coordinates, Steve did started his flight in Turkey, and that puts enough distance for both the plane and the boat.
See my comment. You don't need a magic boat when you have a magic island...
So the island can teleport in an instant and take them exactly to the point they need?
Ponera Grimoire Apparently not, otherwise they wouldn't need to sail overnight. However, it's possible that it periodically changes location (as part of the enchantment making it difficult to find) and was closer to London when they left it.
Diana's mother warns her that if she leaves the island she may never return. This could be an Amazonian rule of law or she could be referring to how difficult it would be to find it again...
You've said the answer earlier on, it's the invisible plane!
So the boat is towed behind the plane?
The boat is the plane
yes it practically could have been true but remember 1918, modern planes werent invented yet.
Dis is ww1
they time travled
The original script of the movie had an explanation for the fast travel. They were ment to fly on Steve's plane, because it didn't crash previously. Somewhere along the way writers crashed the plane, replaced it with a boat, and it never crossed their mind again.
I was reading some of those comments put in the video and they WERE HORRIBLE. Don't stop doing what your doing!

You didn't think about that did you! Theory disproved!" No, he didn't think about your silly magic boat, and the *theory* (look up theory if you don't know its real meaning) is not disproved.

Whether theories age well or not I love watching them because there was still time and effort and until proven wrong you usually do a great job at convincing me of your theories or if they’re proven correct or blows my mind because it’s all so well done
Well obviously you enter Themyscira via a wormhole, and when you leave said wormhole, you can be anywhere in the world... like London.
It took me a LONG time to realize this, but MatPat is WRONG! There are two clues that indicate that the boat ride from the island to England did in fact take two weeks! Clue one: Diana falls asleep with her hair knotted in a braid rope, but wakes up with it loose and free-flowing. Clue two: Etta Candy says when she sees Steve that she hadn't heard from him in two weeks. That second one used to confuse me, but the research in this theory explains how that makes sense - he's been on a boat for two weeks and couldn't contact her. THEORY DENIED!
I am copy/pasting this comment as replies all over this comment section so people might see it, this theory is old and no one will see the OP but it's really important here. Apologies for the spam if anyone gets this comment more than once.
Wandergirl108 That makes no sence. What if wteve just untied her hair? And what if he was just gone for two weeks? considering hes a spy he has to have been gone for a while.
+Wandergirl108 They would be sailing 3,300 miles which would take a long time to sail in a Greek ship and that is counting if they even make it out the Mediterranean Sea Because as he said the ship could not change directions it would be more likely if they got stuck on the coast of Italy rather than get out of the Mediterranean Sea If the rare chance they did they would have enough food for the journey and even than they would have more chance of straying off course to London and even if they were on the right course that would have taken more than 2 weeks at best and I am going to trail back to the beginning saying they only have two people on this ship which I think would slow them down even more and to be fair we do not count the journey they took at all like if they were any storms or even tidal waves that prevented them
Wandergirl108 so you are saying steve was in turkey in a single day from london and then two weeks to sail to london from turkey
Wandergirl108

That Brown Guy really even better then dark night

Thanks MatPat, you helped me with my English exams through your theories, as in, the way you analyse them gives me a template on how to analyse the stories and poems we're given. I've gotten from a level 5 to a level 7 through watching your videos, so I just want to say thank you
(So many likes, thanks guys!)
NoneThe Less Good Luck with ur GCSEs, they are hell in English to get through, especially cos you are going to sit the new system perhaps
mansi xavier thank you, they're the WORST, the new system is ten times harder!!
NoneThe Less peasant . I got a 9
Hunter Zolomon congratulations on getting a level 9, I hope you feel good about yourself calling a slow learner a peasent
Hunter Zolomon who cares tho? The point is change, not high scores
Matpat: And even her real world name Diana is a reference to one of the most famous Greek goddesses.
People who read Percy Jackson: okay LISTEN

Don't take it so seriously
HOLY SHIT YES. I'm gonna be honesty Mat Pat, it's been hard to sit through a lot of your videos recently, but this type of video (sticking to pure numbers and facts with no opinions) is my favorite from your channels. Please try to keep this up, I want another golden age of the theory channels

it not exist in 1914.........

So true
2:28 She actually says "It's not about deserve, it's about what you believe" She didn't say truth, she said deserve
WTF is that even supposed to mean.... Care to elaborate, I haven't watched the movie since it's release so I might be missing some context
@@tekkengod2120 Ares says something like "humans don't deserve to live" and then WW gives that reply. Basically even if humans deserve to be destroyed after horrible things they've done, she believes they're better than that
@@LilacMonarch -Which is pretty funny considering Ares believes the opposite, and if believing is the deciding factor, he’s just as “right” as she is.
but maybe it was magic- maybe the gods were working in their favor, but I guess that doesn't explain it because Steve isn't surprised at how fast they a arrived. and who knows, maybe themiscyra is in a wierd magic almost wormhole like thing
Claireness Punkster that’s what I was thinking
Claireness Punkster ahh Hermes (or Kronos) always speeding things up
I was thinking the same, but you are 100% right. Steve should've been surprised at the sudden change of location.
spoiler:
All the gods are dead except Aries and as we later find out Diana. (at least that is what the "mother" and the other amazons say)
Claireness Punkster not to mention that by DCU canon (if this train wreck of a plot is indeed canon) the entire Greek pantheon is dead.
Maybe it was a magic boat that was blessed or something to help Diana xD
It was blessed with the power of plot hole
Isn't Diana a roman goddess? I thought she was the Roman equivalent of Artemis.
I don't even care anymore. The movie already butchered Greek mythology.
Edit: Ok so Diana is the Roman counterpart of Artemis but Wonder Woman is just named after Diana. They are not the same person, got it.
Caedran Rhys Yes. The Diana is the Roman counterpart of Artemis. He seemed to have missed that point. But Diana (WonderWoman) is a made up demigod.
John Michael Ambrocio Thank you I was getting confused!
Yeahh.... I cringe every time people get that mixed up. And I completely agree that Wonderwoman completely messed up their Greek mythology. My friend and I (we both know greek mythology) were laughing every time the movie got it wrong when we saw it in the cinema.
Alright, finally, iI found somebody who agree's. First of all, AMAZON WHERE COMMONLY CHILDREN OF ARES, AND THEY HAD A FLIPPIN MASSIVE ISLAND DEDICATED TO HIM GAURDED BY CROWS THAT THROW THEIR FEATHERS LIKE DARTS. Also, Ares gave them the belt for the Amazon Queen that gifted her great strength. (P.S. POSEIDON HATES ARES HE WOULD NEVER HELP THE AMAZONS!)
Caedran Rhys I thought Diana was the roman counterpart for Demeter
7:08 Steve's not an idiot. He knew he wasn't making it the whole way to London on a tank of gas.
Me in 2021 knowing that in the new Wonder Woman 84 movie, Steve spoiler spoiler spoiler a jet aircraft the whole way around the world and back on a tank of gas.
But...... Diana is a roman version of Artemis
Ikr it’s weird that she’s Greek not Roman
I thought Diana was Athena
Sillysaurus YT Minerva is Athena.
yessss!
blackdragon _441 thank you!!
Look, Im greek and all of your theories are true BUT Diana is roman not greek she is just connected with the greek gods for some reason. Anyway good vid.

hi person who is greek
@@ericaburke2613 hi person
No offense, and I apologize if this is offensive anyway, but aren't most Roman and Greek gods the same, just with different names? Like how the monotheistic religions all have "God", but the names like "Allah" and "YHWH" for Muslims and Jews respectively? Neptune=Poseidon, Mars=Ares etc...
if there's one thing I've learned from superhero films, is that if your name is Steve, never ever go on a plane
More people need to like this. This made me laugh so hard.
According to the old movie ,wonder woman's home was in the devil's triangle
Soo... How's German's OLD Plane Can Get There ,, All The Way From Turkey 😅?
Bermuda
Time out mat pat... in the comics it states Themyscira is a magical island that THE GODS welcome you into or let you out of. It also says their can be found anywhere depending on if they want you to enter. So they could have just as easily left Themyscira and appeared close to London. BOOM
Arctyc Wolf While that is a valid point, it doesn't mention that at all in the movie, so the default thought is that the island is just invisible.
Zachary Gilmore yes but wouldn't that be the directors fault
Yeah. The directors should have thought of that.
The comic timeline and universe is not the same as the movie timeline and universe. If they do not specifically mention it in the movies then you can't just fill it in from the comics, It would be like using Earth 616 Marvel universe rules and applying it to Earth-199999 (MCU). You can't do it, as far as we know in the DCEU Themyscira does not move since we were never told it did.
Even if it can appear wherever the gods need it, Steve can't magically make his Fokker have enough fuel to go anywhere past the Aegean Sea. While the island has magical abilities, Steve and his plane don't, so it has to be, in the context of the movie, somewhere in that range of where the plane can fly on a full tank of gas

Diana is a Roman Goddess, the goddess of the moon and hunting. She is the equivalent Greek goddess Artemis. Diana wasn't a greek goddess xD
I suppose since the Romans technically copied the Greek gods, Diana is essentially artemis, but still the statement made towards the beginning of the video is inaccurate.
By the way Mat keep up the good work, love your vids, just thought I would leave some 'constructive criticism ' to correct the slight error made in the vid.
in this case i think he means Diana as in wonder woman, cause that's her real name. It's just coincidence that WW shares the name with the roman goddess
I only mentioned this because between the middle and beginning of the video, he said that her name was shared by a famous Greek goddess. However, I see where you are coming from. Thx for the feedback
oooh sorry my bad
no need to apologise :D, you are still right :D
besides its a very small part of the video it is easy to miss :D

MattPat can NEVER please this comment section
EmeraldMusic well said
The whole point of the theorist community is that we overthink things. The first thing we want to do when he comes out with a theory is poke holes in it, because that's the fun part. He pokes holes in movies, we poke holes in his holes. That's what makes this community great.
MatPat, we may constantly dissect your theories, but that just means they're good enough to merit our dissection. We love them and we love you! (in a strictly platonic way, of course)
Maybe it was a magic Amazonian boat?
Cillian Brouder I think it's because Themysceria is an alternate realm- similar to Olympus- it isn't of earth- and the wall of glass they went through is like the bifrost- it's a gateway, and the boat can be pre-navigated to fit the user's will- it is magical after all. Themysceria- even in comics- was never a physical place on earth. It was a realm. So what Pat is saying- is debunked, IF Themysceria is not of earth, and only if. Because when they went through the portal- it didn't always take them to the same place every time.
Yeah using the Magic plot devices that is not going to work
Yi Ming Low we're talking about comics here, bro- their physics are hardly ever realistic
Or she had help from Poseiden
Cillian Brouder that's what I thought or it telported them there
You forgot one more best case scenario, Daina been a half god or god magically helped them reach London in time
Reginald Asare like while she was sleeping? Or?? Also its been insinuated that Themyscira is located within the Devil’s Triangle.. and there are a few. Also there are indications in ww comics they were advanced with their ancient technology so maybe they developed their boats? Or a fun way they could have used would be to use the gods as a way to transport them from within the triangle to wherever it is they need to go. At least you can create your own theories out of that, that might make more sense
I’m just teasing a bit! I wish they would be more creative with this kinda thing
She used her godly power of super convenient bad scriptwriting :)
Matpat are you ok because you honestly sound sick of this stuff. I understand though, people hate on you so much it's unreasonable. Hope you feel better buddy. I love your work and you're extremely inspirational. Never stop and don't listen to what those jerks say. I care about you buddy.

What if the island exists beyond the mortal plain of reality and can be anywhere on earth at different times as it was used by the gods to house their protectors of humanity which means they are close to the biggest conflict in the world
James Suffolk woah...
My brain....
As I pointed out some *three months* ago Hippolyta states that Themyscira can be anywhere and anywhen the Amazons want it to be.
Could be, kinda like the Olympus in Percy Jackson, but then why/how did Chris Pine's plane end up there?
HailG3 Fate dude, just like Percy Jackson
Not to mention the mythology in this movie is way off :/
Its Tibby just like my grades from being good
Yup being Greek watching the movie was cringey
Its Tibby cause its not greek mythology, its dcs version of greek myhtology
It's a dc movie, not a history lesson
Andrew Papucci have you not watched the emoji movie.
When you said "Greece-y" at 5:11 you put me so off kilter that every time you said Greece I interpreted it as grease for the rest of the episode.
Dang it, MatPat.
To be honest, I could care less if anything in your videos might be wrong (Even though personally I agree with nearly all of your videos). I'm just here to watch really interesting videos that over-analyze movies, games and TV shows we love because it's entertaining and puts your brain to work. MatPat isn't a supergenius, he's a theorist. Nobody should be able to tear him, or anyone down because there opinion differs from someone's own. Ignore the hate MatPat, 5 million people would have to disagree with them. ;)
Hail Giratina The true god These videos are interesting and entertaining but if we're fed false information, the value of the video goes through the floor. We're also here to learn about our favourite games or movies, false information doesn't help that. Not sure about his video yet, haven't watched it yet.
could i say one thing? why does his videos have to be correct? It's a theory after all, you either accept it or you dont, heck it's a fictional movie so it wont happen in real life you may even add, again it's for fun. most of the time theories arent even accurate so if youre convinced then you agree with the theory if not then you dont case close
well lets be fair. The film/game theorists is all about how to use science and facts to explain something a game/movie presents to us. This is not supposed to be his opinion, it is supposed to be factual so if his videos are "wrong" as you say, what is the point in watching them? The reason some people "tear him... down" is because he is objectively wrong, not subjectively.
While I agree about not putting down people for their opinions, the people were pointing out facts he got wrong which irritated those viewers. They weren't doing that because they didn't like his opinion.
why do you assume his fan base is little kids? I am a long time fan and see most of "criticism" as hate, because it's literally just calling him names and making fun of him instead of pointing out what is wrong with the theories or research.
Mat I love your vids but in the comics it is even told that The island of themyscira is never in the same place for the reason of never being found and always shifts out of reality that is why when wonder woman leaves she takes years to ever go back because of the magic that is used to protect the island from the outside world it's even said that Hera was the one to put protective spells in order for exile amazons to never return which Wonder Woman becomes when she leaves with Steve so it could be that when they sailed out of the protective barrier they were a lot closer to London due to the island its self trying to help her Ik it sounds like reaching quite a bit but the movie uses comic book logic which usual mean there is always an explanation for what happens that doesn't seem to make sense in real life I mean the island exists out of time and "space" due to magic yet Steve finds it one time and no man ever finds it again -_- soooo
Jordan Garcia brooo.... The island appearing and disappearing randomly makes the whole thing even MORE confusing. How sure are we that they spawned near London? Plus, no matter how good a navigator steve is, navigating their exact location, direction, and where to go for the allied ships is going to be IMPOSSIBLE. Navigating the direction theyre heading based on the night sky assuming that they had a clear sky wont do much since all theyd know is where north south west and east are but thats it. Unless the boat had the magical property of Jack Sparrow's compass then and only then MAYBE just MAYBE they'd get there. Good point though. But it makes it all the more confusing hahahaha.
Did they mention that in the movie?
We haven't seen that as canon yet in the movie timeline, and we haven't even seen the invisible jet, and we're not sure those will be explained yet, but good theory
psst. comics is not movieverse... else they could have flown in diana's invisible jet. Dude. soooo
Jordan Garcia thymescira is like summer home for jla..go watch animation too
You know Mat, you are probably in my opinion the best theorist in my knowledge, even when your claims sound dumb at first but you always find a way to prove yourself correct! This leads me to almost never even question your claims in the first place! You could just say Europe sunk in to the ocean yesterday and I would believe you
WWII exist
Wonder woman: igh just gonna head out
What I don't get about this movie is that the movie revolves around Greek Mythology, and yet her name is Roman. The goddess Diana is a Roman God and her name in Greek is Artemis, so how come she is called Diana?
Does this really matter for the theory?
ariana.shelton7649 its kinda like how apollo and helios get confused with from time to time
Because she was named Diana in the comics. That being said it's no surprise if certain Greek characters both real, myth and fictional at any given time period would have Roman names. Considering the Greeks themselves have intermingled with Romans in the past both in real life and in fiction. Take for example Appolonia of the first Godfather movie. When they first described her to her father they mentioned she seemed more Greek than Italian. So if a half Greek half Italian could live in Sicily then it wouldn't be a surprise if Diana of Themyscira had Roman blood or if Hippolyta just liked the name.
If you want to get that much into it, the Amazons weren't even Greek. Not in mythology, not in real life. Mythology puts their origins either in Lybia, or in present-day Ukraine. The Scythian women whom the Greeks most likely based the Amazons upon lived in the latter area.
This is just another case of pop-culture diluting and mixing things together.
ariana.shelton7649 i have a question for you, which name sounds better? Diana does, shes a character BASED on the goddess artemis, they mustve thought it would be funny to give her, her Roman name just for fun, who knows? Sure the name is wrong but its based on artemis, how do i know? What names do they use for the other gods? Ares, zeus, and the others which are all the greek version because if it were to be Roman, Ares wouldve been called Mars

Hi Matt Can You Please Explain Me How Did Wonderwoman Got Her Sword 'Godkiller' Back
As Long As I Remember Her Sword Was Destroyed By Aries In "WONDERWOMAN" Movie And In "BatmanVSuperman" She Had That Sword.
Thanks For Reading
She doesn't use the Godkiller in BvS... it's a different sword.
Syed Shaf Ahmmed her sword is not the god killer, She is. Its just a regular sword
Syed Shaf Ahmmed Zeus probably reconstructed it somehow because he's the main god of Greek mythology and he can do anything apparently or her mother hippolyta or something like that or Gaia or someone
Syed Shaf Ahmmed oh right he did die
It's a different sword. If you look at the hilt in BVS it doesn't have the snake design on it.
Greek empire??? Greece never had an empire but city states, what you are referring to is Macedon empire from Alexander the Great conquest, which fell apart after Alexander died
If they have magical equipment like swords and shields why can't they have magical boats
I was actually thinking the same thing.
Lol yeah
Medival X I was just going to say that. It's a Superhero movie based on Greek and somewhat Roman Mythology. They have literal magic cups in mythology why not boats? I kinda feel that it would be implied that a pocket mythological community would have some magical mythological ways of travel.
The whole video I just kept muttering: Its a magic boat. Its a magic boat. ITS A MAGIC BOAT. [itsamagicboat]
Medival X ikr
Matpat I agree, mostly my problem is that you just assumed that hey they got a tug boat, Steve never said tug boat he just said that they got a ride by a Ally(or in other words friend) nothing else but there is a boat that could get them there in 4 days and 9 hours the boat is RMS Mauretania the boat was first sent in 1906 and landed (somewhere) in 1907 that boat has enough time to get near Italy or Turkey. Or say be going to England.The script says nothing about a date so they could have been on sea for 4 days and 9 hours and just sleep in the same spot for that entire time(if that boat were to pull them the entire time ) the hours may vary depending on the speed the boat was traveling at. BTW you did A great job on this matpat and Ronnie awesome editing
Yeah cus aparently wonder woman slept for 4 whole days because that's the only reason I can think of for why she didn't know that they were helped.
101Andu101 he didnt say diana slept for 4 days, he said diana mustve slept in the same position in 4 days lmao
shit jayce ph It still doesn't make sense since she should have known that they were helped if she didn't sleep for 4 straight days and therefore wouldn't have needed to be told so.
Mad respect for doing all that research
Corey McCraw thanks I worked hard on it.

FiberBacca yes, but the ship was capable of moving thousands of light years and he was still a kid when he got to earth. So even if space has a wormhole effect, he'd still be unable to even leap across buildings in a single bound
This is my favorite kind of theory, the kind who’s subject is some unexpected and almost comedically absurd thing that is also oddly mundane and as so is used for fun factoids and important details of the real world and how it works.
And because it’s almost laughably silly and absurd, you can enjoy the theory without feeling like the movie/game/series in question or the message of it is ruined.
According to myths, the Amazonians grew their empire even outside of Greece and they also had a patron Goddess, Artemis who may have lended her powers to get them to London faster. This being said the Amazonians were known to frequently be provided with help from Artemis and their other patron God, Ares thanks to the works of Otera. And in a movie with unrealistic elements, it may not be a surprise that Greek Gods come into this, as they have been mentioned in the movie multiple times.
you know that artemis is diana, right?
Yes, but there is no proof in the film that Wonder Woman wasn't named after the Roman form of their patron Goddess. It never implies or states that she is the same Diana as the myths.
supposedly all the other gods were killed my ares
Wasn't all the gods killed by Ares?
aditi bhuvanesh Artemis was the hunters
The people in the comments saying about how Diana could have sailed faster to the warzone because of her relation to Poseidon being her uncle made her sail faster, or some god/goddess helping her sail faster are all wrong. 1) During the course of the movie, it is said several times that all of the Olympians fought in a war against Ares that got them all killed. Except for Ares. And don't say the whole, "gods can't die, they're immortal" bullshit as Ares himself says that only a god can kill a god, and that Master of War slaughtered the entire Greek pantheon single-handedly, making the idea that Uncle Poseidon helped Diana along in her journey not possible. 2) Just because Diana is related to Poseidon, doesn't make her share the same powers. That typically would be the case with direct descendants of gods but not nephew/uncle relations. That would be the equivalent of saying that Diana can just bring Steve Trevor back from the dead because her other uncle was Hades, the King of the Underworld, or even bring back the Amazons that died in the First Encounter with the Germans.
Please watch the damn movie before launching into speculations based off of only opinion and no film knowledge.
Jackson Gray thank you
i was pretty sure that themyscira is another dimension, in the comics its "a place you cant get to unless you already know how to get there" as in you can scour the entire earth and not find it. sounds like another dimension to me so i dont see any reason they cant enter our dimension at any point on the globe.... but the movie is a different "universe" and the "caught a ride" line kind of implies steve navigated which might ruin that explanation.
Yeah also I thought that if there was some godly power making it faster, wouldn't Steve have noticed? Surely he knows he can't sail from Greece to London in a day
Finally,someone with some sense.
Amazons were given gifts by the gods when they were created, so that they could be better diplomats. We know that, because Diana tells us so when what's-his-bucket questions her ability to speak in any language. I don't think it's much of a stretch to suppose that the gods also gave them magic boats so that they could get to conflicts-in-the-making before they became, you know, actual military conflicts.
Mat I am a Greek my self, I don't know if you had ever been in Greece, but our islands are not even close to the climate of the island in the movie, my theory is that the island is something like the "LOST" series and teleports in time and space, mentioning that every single island of Greece in that period was habbitant. Please notice me senpai
He had proof to debunk your theory
In the movie the climate outside of the island's border was very much different from the inside
harris spartan it is a island where there is a God, do you think that would be a normal island?
harris spartan he was saying Greece used to look like that you with no research
I bet you don't even live in Greece
@Pug money Geography doesnt change that quickly. It takes millions and millions of years for terrain to change significantly. Greece today looks basically the same it did during ancient greece
