Wonder Woman: The Impossible Task

This video was a process!
At first this video started off as an analysis of Love themes and themes for Damsels in Distress. I almost had the video out when I realized I was on the wrong track and had to delay it, which is why I came out with the Mozart Effect video.
Anyway, this was a video that simply didn't want to be made.
I think I re-wrote the script at least 4 times.
I had ALL of the footage I recorded get corrupted at one point and had to re-record, only to have OBS fail on me.
Once I had that sorted out, my Elgato capture card stopped working, which I still haven't figured out why or how.
So after fixing that nightmare I ended up recording all of the footage through the Elgato software, only to find out that this crash reset all of the settings, so the volume was WAAAAAY too high and all of the audio was clipping.
So after re-recording all of the footage 3 separate times I finally got to putting the video together, only to have *some* of the clips completely crash my video editing software, which subsequently crashed my computer and caused me to lose all of my progress.
Meaning that I had to re-record those few clips a 4th time.
Only to get to the end of the editing process, realizing that I had made a fairly critical mistake, and I had to completely redo the last 3 minutes of this video.
All in all, when making a YouTube video, you just kinda have to expect things to go wrong here and there, but this video just. didn't. want. to. get. made.
But overall I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
Sidenote: Some eagle-eyed (or eagle-eared) viewers notices that the clip from "Is She With You?" is actually a portion of Han's Zimmer's Man of Steel theme for Superman that played during that scene.
I wonder if Gregson-Williams noticed that and wanted to create a similarity between Wonder Woman and Superman.
Either way, it looks like that small leitmotif for Wonder Woman is actually inspired by the Man of Steel theme!
