Episode 262 - Who Would Win?: Wonder Woman vs Thor

·1 hr 8 min·5 clips

Brandon and Gabby debate whether Wonder Woman or Thor would win in a fight, revealing she's Zeus's daughter and he's Odin's son.

The episode begins with hosts Brandon and Gabby introducing a 'Who Would Win' debate between Wonder Woman and Thor, framing it as a battle of children of gods. They note Thor is Odin's son in Norse mythology, while Wonder Woman is the daughter of Hippolyta and Zeus. The hosts discuss their research based on comic book history rather than just movies. Brandon initially leans toward Thor winning, but Gabby switches to Wonder Woman after research. They detail Thor's abilities, including super strength, speed, near invulnerability, and Warrior's Madness, a state that increases his strength but impairs his judgment. Odin has forbidden Thor from using Warrior's Madness, calling it a 'sin unpardonable'. The hosts debate whether outside interference like Odin or the World Serpent (Jörmungandr) should be considered, as it could distract Thor. They list Thor's weapons: Mjolnir, Stormbreaker, and Jarnbjorn, noting Stormbreaker can summon the Bifrost. For Wonder Woman, they cover her flight, super speed, strength, and weapons like the Bracelets of Submission, Lasso of Truth, and a magic sword that can slice atoms. The bracelets restrict her power, and removing them could double her strength. They compare feats: Thor has lifted the Midgard Serpent, tagged Quicksilver, and shattered planets, while Wonder Woman has broken into the Fortress of Solitude, tanked a nuclear warhead, and helped move the Earth. The hosts argue over who is stronger, with Gabby citing Wonder Woman's feats as requiring more strength. They discuss strategy, noting Thor is more brute force while Wonder Woman has some tactical ability. The debate includes scenarios with outside interference, such as Odin stopping Thor's Warrior's Madness or Ares appearing, which might favor Wonder Woman. Brandon still believes Thor would win due to his multiple weapons, but Gabby disagrees based on strength calculations. They reference the YouTube channel Death Battle, which ran simulations and concluded Wonder Woman wins because her sword can exploit Thor's vulnerability to piercing attacks and she is calculated to be 8,000 times stronger in certain feats. The episode ends with a summary that Wonder Woman would likely win, but it would be a close fight.
