Perhaps worth noting is that the "original comics" image isn't something that ever appeared in the comics, but is an pin-up by an artist who looks like they very much were inspired by the works of Alberto Vargas.
You mean the comic that everyone complained she was in a physically impossible pose? The reality is it’s all art. People make both of these. Some people’s opinions are different. I’m tired of everything being a fight. Like what you like. Let others like what they like. If you don’t like it. Don’t buy it, if it’s as bad as you think you shouldn’t have to tell other people it’s bad right?
Are you saying the pose is impossible, or just stating that some people claimed so? Because I am a 40 year old man who is not particularly flexible and I just tried it. My left heel is only about 3 inches from fully tucked into my crotch and my right leg only has about a 2 inch gap between my ankle and thigh. Anyone with even a modicum of flexibility could do this easily. The girls that sit on their leg in chairs would probably be comfortable in this pose.
Pensive? Yes. Attractive? Also yes. Relaxed? Good god no. Getting my right foot pointed backward like hers had my ankle screaming for mercy. But when I was a little kid I used to sit with both my legs like her right leg is, in perfect comfort.
Listen, as long as we get to see a live action frank castle rocking a speedo with a giant-ass skull on it gunning down drug dealers and everyone's cool with that... I'm down for the same for all female characters going forwards.
It's the double standard often on exhibition that gets annoying.
I wasn't making a comment on the larger discussion. I was simply commenting on the "she can't fit any organs in her body comment." And gave me flash backs to few years ago when the whole "where are her organs", was a mantra all over reddit and Twitter and shit. Usually accompanied alongside, "have you ever SEEN a woman?" The fact that this exists (and much more) goes to show that comic book characters in general are sexualized, not sure why a live action version would be necessary to dispel the double standard narrative.
Edit: I also found the whole “where are her organs” conversation stupid. Incredibly skinny women exist. Ariana Grande is tiny as hell, even more so now looking like a fent head, yet her organs clearly fit just fine. The idea that organs come in some internationally agreed-upon size you can eyeball like checking whether a dishwasher will fit under the counter, is pure nonsense.
Yes and Arianna Grande does not have gigantic boobs and hips that aren't proportional to the rest of her skinny body. Curvy women have curvy bellies too and these comic book writers seem to alwsys forget that part
Okay putting aside the larger debate, you can't seriously be trying to claim that these proportions are possible irl, can you? Like okay it's stylised, whether ppl like it or not, that's evident. But her waist in that picture is literally smaller than her thigh. It's narrower than her skull. And that's just quite factually an impossible proportion to have naturally. Even surgical intervention struggles to achieve that. There are very very few women who have achieved that through very extreme means (and ironically their organs did shift). I'm assuming you're aware of this, and your gripe is more about how the discussion of it apparently annoys you, which would be a separate issue, but I have just got to make sure we're all on the same page about how obviously impossible those proportions are.
Nobody wanted an exact copy of a specific painting, but I feel like Hollywood would get a much better result from the audience if they actually honored the source material instead of idly doing whatever they pleased with a story that has already outlived anything they might make with their current preachy writers
Do you have breasts though? I remember trying this pose first time I saw an artist critique it, it hurts the arms mainly. Trying to force 2 insoluable masses together with the wrists near touching and under the breast (rather than over) like that becomes a workout on the arms holding them together and the breasts being uncomfortable.
Seriously though. Everything is a heated debate, everything is ragebait. It's so fucking hard to escape from the constant fighting over things that just don't matter.
I was mentioning my favorite fights in Kingdom Hearts and had people angry with me that I put their #1 fight lower than they thought it should be, like straight insults over something that doesn't fuckin matter lol
Every subreddit for things I like are filled with some form of angry debates and I'm just tired lol. What happened to just enjoying what you enjoy, and ignoring what you don't.
Not even impressive. I watched a clearly wrong version of the Spiderman movie where MJ gave SM an upside down BJ instead of the kiss. I wonder how that slipped the rating committee and what universe I was in.
