Printablejohnart said: meow85 said: They're only fantasy inasmuch as the popular trend allows. In the pasdt decade or so there's been a call to realism in comics and comic-related ventures (movies, etc.) So why, when people are bitching about how unrealistic something as obviously fantastical as an origin story or even the superpowers themselves are, are female superheroes drawn in a way that would render them helpless in a fight? I don't know...I seen some big tittied bitches throw DOWN! 
And anyone who is going to bitch about how unrealistic the powers of a superhero are, should probably quit buying comics and move on to historic novels or something more "realistic". [Edited 1/31/09 16:56pm] People complain about and debate the lack of realism in comic books all the time. You never wondered why the acid origin stories for TwoFace and The Joker were missing from The Dark Knight? It's because people were bitching about the silliness of it. Like everyone else, you're missing the whole point. It's not just about the giant, usually exposed titties. (what if our hero, oh I dunno, GETS STABBED IN THE HEART, for fuck's sake?) It's also about the teeny, tiny waists, the pencil neck, and weak-looking spindly arms. I'm not saying they should be drawn like bodybuilders, but they should have a little muscle to them, at least. Even Supergirl's not gonna be able to throw down if she's emaciated. [Edited 1/31/09 17:05pm] "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

The issue I'm taken is not so much with the sexist depictions, but with the complete lack of feasibility in a woman looking like that even having the strength to put on her own tights. They lack muscle tone and any visual depictions of strength, and giant ta-tas will definitely get in the way in a proper fight. Hell, all I have is a pair of C's and I find them cumbersome even doing day-to-day stuff. Say what?  *Clears Throat* Anyway, my uncle was an avid collector and reader of comic books. That's about as close as I can get when it comes to ties with the intrigue of it all. Ah well. I guess someone's going to have to make some changes in that world.Say what, indeed. You're surprised?

Exactly. A real woman built like that would have difficulty even standing up straight. How's she supposed to be kicking bad'un ass?Thats really Super Girl (came about through Earth crisis I think) |

It's like there's a contest at DC to see how big an artist can make her boobs. Pretty soon, they won't be able to fit them all on one page. | |

But, smaller than that, I guess I was a skeptic. Forgive me for even holding that ignorant belief. This is very informative. This sig is just a fig of your imago-neigh-shun | |

Well some of the older pictures of her is that she is covered completly, and her hair do has changed too. [Edited 1/31/09 17:54pm] |

If one is willing to suspend their disbelief in order to accept a superhero has superpowers how can one then expect the superhero must to abide by rules of real-life human anatomy? You can't have it be fantasy and be real. | |

I never saw the movie, I mean the way she was drawn in the comic Oh. Well, I never knew it was a comic before it was a movie. I thought it was just an original idea that was originally a script. So, apparently, that movie was just a film adaption to the initial comic format. This sig is just a fig of your imago-neigh-shun | |
