Originally the Magic Lasso was given to Wonder Woman when she returned to Paradise Island. It is so strong that not even Hercules can break it and is given to Diana after Hippolyta consults the Goddesses. In the post- Crisis George Pérez reboot the lasso was forged by the god Hephaestus from the Golden Girdle of Gaea that was once worn by Antiope, sister of Hippolyta. Diana demonstrated a remarkable level of skill with the lasso, performing such feats as twirling it to create air currents (upon which she could float) and spinning it to emit certain frequencies that disrupted spells. ĭiana coated it in special Amazon chemicals that allowed it to transform her civilian clothes into Wonder Woman's garb. In addition to being unbreakable, the lasso was also infinitely elastic. This effect could be used on larger groups of people, although this reduced its efficiency. The powers forced whoever was bound within it to obey the commands of whomever held the other end. The lasso was formed from Aphrodite's girdle, which made it indestructible and its magical properties were granted by the Goddess herself. And because Wonder Woman used it to extract confessions and compel obedience, the golden lasso was of course nothing less than a lie detector Like the lie detector upon which it was modelled, Wonder Woman's Golden Lasso produced truth-and by implication justice and freedom too-through coercion. In a 1997 academic article, psychologist Geoffry Bunn incorrectly reinforces a correlation between the lasso and the systolic blood-pressure test, stating:Īnyone caught in the lasso found it impossible to lie.
The idea behind feminine allure was that submission to a pleasant controller (instead of a harsh one) was more pleasant and therefore made it more likely that people would submit. So Marston created the Magic Lasso as an allegory for feminine charm and the compliant effect it has on people. Wonder Woman's Magic Lasso or Golden Lasso was the direct result of their research into emotions and was more about submission than truth. Marston's wife, psychologist and lawyer Elizabeth Holloway Marston, one of his inspirations for the Wonder Woman character, also played a key role in his lie detector research.īut the lie detector had nothing to do with Marston's creation of the Magic Lasso. Blood pressure was one of several elements measured in the polygraph tests that were being perfected since as far back as Italian criminologist Cesare Lombroso, in 1895. “I’d rather be the disco ball that light gets fractured off of, and when 20 nominations are spinning around and I play the guy the dang thing is named after, it feels really nice,” Sudeikis told Variety.William Moulton Marston created Wonder Woman but he also worked, in the period before, during and after World War I, on understanding and perfecting the systolic blood-pressure test while working on his Ph.D. The event took place just days after “Ted Lasso” scored 20 Emmy nominations, a record for a freshman comedy. COvznv9xNgĪ massive blue carpet was constructed on the top of the Pacific Design Center’s parking structure in West Hollywood, and a giant blue soccer ball was featured at the end of the carpet with a Lasso’s signature “Believe” sign greeting guests at the top of the arrival line. Is it true that Hannah Waddingham told her #TedLasso co-star Brett Goldstein about his Emmy nominations while he was in his underwear? "It is completely true," says Goldstein. His black and white Nike sneakers also read “Equality” along the heels. You can buy your own version of Sudeikis’ viral shirt here.
