Are you happy or sad that the age of female superheroes and villains dressing in skimpy outfits is over?
>>80923131
It isn't over, it is just on hiatus. It shall return
>>80923131
Indifferent.

This, and even then
>>80923131
When the fuck did Storm ever wear that?
>>80923131
If capeshit is gonna bend over backwards trying to take itself seriously then they should take their costumes seriously.
>>80923131
Gleeful. Finally, I'll be able to take these characters somewhat seriously. It's difficult to get invested in a story when the characters dress like strippers.
>>80923131
It wouldn't work with the tone of today's comics and a lot of the designs were horrible. Shame that 90's artist prioritized tits, I would have loved some booty during the lewd age.
Thank god capeshit finally realized that Skimpy doesn't mean sexy.
And yet Spider-Man's costume is still trying to violate him 24/7.Thank god.
>over
Since when? As long horny nerds are buying this stuff, it's never over.
>>80923131
Ambivalent?
It's not why I got into comics and it's usually more corny as shit than not, but it's nice to look at every once in a while.
Depends on the design
I really fucking hate shit artists who shove high heels on every female hero/villain because GUESS WHAT FEMALES WEAR HIGH HEELS
>ITT tons of fucking cucks
What if they go full frontal instead?
Storytimes of pain taught me nudists are fucking creepy.
>>80923869
Luckily you're a virgin and you can't cuck the uncuckable.
>>80923912
You don't have to lack virginity to get cucked. The prerequisite for getting cu ked is being in a romantic relationship with another individual. Not necessarily a sexual relationship.
>>80923736
The problem is heels are really bad for crimefighting. Unless the heroine can fly, she'll have a really hard time running and kicking with her five-inch hookerboots.

>>80923736
>GUESS WHAT FEMALES WEAR HIGH HEELS
People who have to wear business clothes to meetings?
I hate it when every female character gets high heels unless they can fly, that shit just isn't comfortable to stand on or especially run in
>>80923736
and yet people don't often complain about heels being "impractical"
Female heroes with superhuman strength should weak few clothes, like female boxers or female ufc fighters.
on some characters armour is ridiculous

>>80924076
Thats what Im talking about
Sometimes the artist wants to give the character a somehow functional costume but then give them high heels on the simple virtue that the character is female
I mean seriously look at this shit. Who the fuck thought this was a good idea?
>>80924283
If people cared about functional/practical as much as they say, they would ask for both Hawkeye to wear full body bulletproof suit (with light material, like X-Men uniforms) and for bulletproof heroes like Colonel Carol or Blue Marvel to wear less clothes
And lot of pouches for everybody
>>80924283
Combat sports would be so much better if the fighters didn't dress like strippers. It'd be fun to watch people fight if I didn't have to see all that flesh slapping around.
>implying super strength=bulletproof
You're kind of a fucking idiot, you know that?
Kind of sad. It seems as if these days female cape characters, if they aren't quirky womanchildren then they are strong yet sassy girl scouts. Sex symbols aren't allowed as much anymore.
>>80924365
>if the fighters didn't dress like strippers
What kind of fights are you watching?
>>80924365
They dress like that so they can keep cool and so they don't have extra clothing for people to grab onto.
>>80924076
lol. This is why that tacticool bullshit took off. People forgot that comics were supposed to be escapism, not supposed to be "muh realism".
It's funny that more people bitch about females wearing high heels in combat than Superman "breathing in space".
Also if we are worrying so much about "realism" in comics, then why aren't people bitching about Batman's Cape? How would a guy be able to fight 10 guys in a alley way, with a long piece of heavy material hanging from his back that could be pulled,grabbed or be caught on something?
>>80924007
You can't cuck someone that has never and will never have sex.
>>80924469
I don't think you know what a cuckold is.
>>80924406

None. Every time I see and add for a boxing or MMA match, I pass on it because all I can think is that I'd be watching a glorified game of grabass.

>>80924459
It coincides with the rise of the nerds, I'd say. Now, soft sci-fi is disregarded and everything has to be as ~realistic~ as possible.
>>80924459
And here I thought tacticool bullshit took off because it look cool.
>>80924459
Probably because I can't relate to breathing in space or fighting ten dudes while wearing a cape, but I can relate to wearing high heels for ten hours straight
Mundane stuff sticks out more than fantastical stuff
>>80924550

>>80924459
>>80924557
Tacticool became popular because it looks slightly less fucktarded than the hooker clothes.
Nobody is demanding that fiction be more realistic. If they were, none of these characters would be having adventures with fantastical elements in the first place, they'd be sitting at home watching TV and bitching about having to go to their shitty jobs. You're projecting.

Pic related is Moondragon's All-new All-different design. Look at that and tell me it's not a skimpy outfit. Or how about Lady Hellbender over in Totally Awesome Hulk. Bitch has her tits and ass hanging out in every scene and is drawn by the king of cheesecake.
Just because we're no longer in the 90s levels of every female character running around half-naked doesn't mean that skimpy outfits don't exist anymore.
>>80924459
>what is suspension of disbelief
>>80924718
That isn't that skimpy of an outfit. That is more than most girls wear IRL
We need more Lycra and spandex, bring back the high waist unitards! Superheroes are ridiculous already so I don't see a problem dressing them up like hookers from space. I respect that more than the fake tacticool b.s we have going on. If they could take Power girl's boob window and make it a vag window I'd be even happier.
>>80924641
>Nobody is demanding that fiction be more realistic. If they were, none of these characters would be having adventures with fantastical elements in the first place, they'd be sitting at home watching TV and bitching about having to go to their shitty jobs. You're projecting.
Yeah you missed the point entirely. Take The Martian. It is fiction. But at the same time it is "realistic", in that it could theoretically happen IRL. That is what people like to see. Even with superheroes we see them more grounded to reality than in stories of the past.
And stop with the buzzwords

>>80924641
>Tacticool became popular because it looks slightly less fucktarded than the hooker clothes.
Comics are inherently silly. You have men fighting crime in their underwear. Tacticool is boring as fuck. It's what cape movies did in the 90's early 2000's because they thought the comic accurate costumes looked silly. Hence X-Men wearing black tight leather.
Tacticool is a fad, a boring one too. The Extreme 90's were retarded but at least it was fun. At least they were creative in how stupid they looked most of the time. Now a days a super hero is wearing a fucking biker jacket and khakis and calling it a costume.
It's shit.
>>80924815
>Even with superheroes we see them more grounded to reality than in stories of the past.
This. It's even happening with videogames. now and it sucks.

To you maybe. But then, you sound like the kind of nerd who doesn't like anything anyway.
>>80924776
It looks like a perfectly normal bathing suit, not everyday wear
Mostly happy
I like sexy costumes but ones like that (on most characters, it works on a few) usually just look dumb as fuck
>>80924938
You remind me of one of those assholes who like comics but are ashamed of that so you need some sort of realism/maturity angle to make yourself feel better about it. I see the same thing with videogame nerds these days and it's pretty amusing on both fronts.
Also it doesn't take much "imagination" to have someone running around in a regular jacket and jeans to fight crime. It's lame.
>>80924756
>Who gives a shit
There's one in every thread.
>>80925116
>You remind me of one of those assholes who like comics but are ashamed of that so you need some sort of realism/maturity angle to make yourself feel better about it.
That's called having standards, retard. I like to read about people going on fantastical adventures, but I'd also like to be invested in them as people, and I can't care about someone who dresses like a total moron.
>Also it doesn't take much "imagination" to have someone running around in a regular jacket and jeans to fight crime.
And having character run around in swimsuits is just the height of creativity, right?
>It's lame.
No, the hooker clothes are lame and make the character look like idiots. Do you have an actual argument, or are you just in denial about wanting softcore porn?
>>80923131
I'm not really into fanservice
>>80924786
>Superheroes are ridiculous
Says who?
I'm going to split the difference here and say that skimpy costumes and cheesecake are fine as long as they're appropriate for the story they're trying to tell. Empowered is the perfect example of a story driven by cheesecake that works just fine.
But for the more serious superhero fare? I'd like my heroines/villainesses to dress up like somebody who's about to kick some ass, not like they're about to grind on a pole. Can you even take someone like Emma Frost seriously? She literally dresses like a stripper.
Pic related is what I'd like to see more of. Ivy's outfit here is a great redesign that still keeps her sex appeal but also allows you to take her seriously. She looks like she could be a real threat.
>>80925566
>I'm going to split the difference here and say that skimpy costumes and cheesecake are fine as long as they're appropriate for the story they're trying to tell.
Fuck you and your bullshit compromises. If a character starts posing like a whore, I'm tossing your shitty book into the fucking trash.
>>80925421
I'm sorry, but have you read comics ever? Superheroes are some of the most ridiculous, over the top character concepts we have. Everything about them is silly. Batman is a crazy dude dressed up as a bat. Superman is an alien that was shot to earth in a rocket by his parents just before his planet explodes. They literally call him Superman. He's a man, only SUPER! Wolverine is a mutant with super smell powers that gets thrown into battle by a man made out of organic steel and he has a team mate that is a blue monkey bear, as well as british mind swapped asian psychic ninja and his team was run by a bald telepath in a wheelchair. I could go on. Superheroes are both amazingly awesome and absolutely ridiculous.
>>80925626
Please fuck off and die you crybaby prude, go read some more Frank the mass murderer and masturbate to your hyper realistic gritty grim dark tacticool garbage.
>>80925116
You know there are comics other than superhero ones. Some of them are even made in foreign countries.
>>80925753
With that "reasoning" any work of fiction is ridiculous.
>>80924481
Well seeing as cuckold means man with a promiscuous wife and that anon has made it clear he's no intent of getting married neither do you.

Not even fucking close
>>80925788
You know, even if that was the case(I don't read The Punisher), it'd still better than worshiping glorified softcore porn, to the detriment of good storytelling and interesting characters.
>>80925837
Not at all, this is simply pointing out very basic facts about the characyers . Nothing is being played up. Romeo and Juliet can be made to look absurd if you exaggerated aspects of the plot, but if told in a bold and straightforward manner it is the tragic romance it was meant to be. Nothing about what I said about the comic characters was exaggerated.
Wolverine is a short grizzled dude that walks around sniffing things all the time (he literally does this. They have 'nif nif' effects for it.) and tucks into a ball so a large Russian made of steel can throw him at their enemies. These are some of the defining themes in wolverine stories. This at face value is ridiculous. In the con text of the stories they are presented in, it is still pretty fucking ridiculous.
>>80924641
>Nobody is demanding that fiction be more realistic.
Bullshit.
>>80925961
Superheroes are some of the most ridiculous over the top character concepts we have. They are joined by video game characters, but I don't know why you bothered posting liefeld fan

The angry nerd pixies floating around in your imagination do not count, anon.
>>80926002
You write as if the depiction of hot chicks in skimpy outfits makes you angry. How is it a detriment? The stories can't be good because of cheesecake? The characters aren't good because they show a little skin? The writing is affected by the art? Was sincity garbage because it had t&a or because the writing was poor? Please stop being so angry at the sight of women not wearing bullet proof burkas.
>>80926245
>How is it a detriment? The stories can't be good because of cheesecake?
No, because it's distracting and annoying as hell.
>The characters aren't good because they show a little skin?
No, because showing off skin makes them look like idiots with little to no common sense.
>The writing is affected by the art?
Of course the writing is affected by the art, dumbass. It's a comic book.
>Please stop being so angry at the sight of women not wearing bullet proof burkas.
I could take a lot more characters seriously if they wore bulletproof burkas. At least they'd be wearing some form of protective gear.
>>80926091
>This at face value is ridiculous.
Only if you confuse premise with the tone of narrative which you seem to be doing a lot.
>>80926176
You don't even know what's going on in that picture, do you, capefag?
>>80926245
I don't think anyone is saying a good story can't have cheesecake but it can be distracting. Cheesecake is usually cheeky, lighthearted, and fun. Tonally it clashes with a post-apocalyptic story, for example, or something that's supposed to be really serious. I personally like cheesecake because I'm a straight dude but even I'll admit there's a time and place for it.
I don't know if it's really over. I'm glad it's a bit more sensitive now though, because it really depends on the context of the character. If your character dresses skimpy it might work against what you're trying to get across or be incredibly distracting if you don't have a good reason for it. That's why pic related bothered me so much when I watched GitS, but on the other hand you can have someone like Shanna who is always semi-naked because she is a jungle woman.
tl;dr context is king
>>80926454
>I don't think anyone is saying a good story can't have cheesecake
I am. Go fuck yourself, you goddamned twelve year old.
>>80926372
>implying premise and tone can be separated
Not how that works, dude.
>>80926355
A lot of what you say is subjective opinion but you are an absolute moron for saying art and writing go hand in hand. A story can be amazing and have art that doesn't do it justice, or the art can be fantastic but the writing fails it. You are trying to say a story suffers from the addition of cheesecake, but that's just your opinion. I think that cheesecake can be perfectly acceptable and with it a story can still maintain it's strength. The problem is that you are getting super serious about something that for the most part, is not super serious.
>>80926388
You are an idiot. You don't recognize sarcasm. Please die you fucking retard.
>>80926505
>Not how that works, dude.
Then maybe you would explain to me what's so different in premises of batman & robin and batman begins that made them so tonally different
>>80926372
Premise and tone of narrative both lend to the reader's understanding and opinion of a piece of work. Trying to make wolverine being thrown like a hand grenade serious is even more ridiculous.
>>80926565
>I think that cheesecake can be perfectly acceptable and with it a story can still maintain it's strength.
You're wrong though. How can you possibly remain invested in a story about characters who are by implication stupid as hell?
>A story can be amazing and have art that doesn't do it justice, or the art can be fantastic but the writing fails it.
Also wrong. This is comic books. If literally one half of the completed product has totally failed, then the whole thing fails. It's like if someone was missing an entire half of their brain. Sure, maybe they could function, but only just barely, and they haven't got long to live.
>>80924729
So what's stopping people from doing that for characters wearing high heels?
>>80926661
>Also wrong. This is comic books. If literally one half of the completed product has totally failed, then the whole thing fails. It's like if someone was missing an entire half of their brain. Sure, maybe they could function, but only just barely, and they haven't got long to live.
Holy shit.

Its only over if we let it be over.
>>80924289
I just realized that.
That looks really fucking stupid.
>>80923131
I'm very happy - if I want porn for my characters I have the internet.
I'll never forget being in my first year of Uni and wandering around town with some of the normies from my course. They took a friendly interest in me and joined me in looking around our local comic shop (A nice one, not the usual nerd hole), and the look on their faces when picking up comics was excruciating.
"Dude, this like... children's porn. This is so fucked up. Who the fuck draws this shit?"
Such an eye opener. You couldn't get away with that shit in other media: it's mostly pervy nerds holding it up.
>>80926648
Nothing is different. Batman is stupid premise, so anything that shares that premise has already failed because it's impossible to take seriously or be invested in.
>>80926661
I'm not wrong, that's my opinion. How can I invest myself in any character from a comic? Punisher is no more realistic than power girl or bikini storm. I choose to enjoy the comics I want to. I have Ennis's punisher and preacher runs in graphic novel format, but I don't enjoy Crossed. I own most of transmetropolitan but nothing from the invisibles. I invest in what I want to, not what you want me to. I can enjoy power girl's boob window and batman's hell bat armor at the same time.
Saddened, because it's just another sign that SJW's have more influence on comics than writers. I garentee you next time we see Selene The Black Queen, she will be toned down as far as her outfit is concerned. The last crazy sexy outfit that I saw and loved was Starfire's from Redhood and the Outlaws (that was the last time she was written to be an enjoyable character too, not that annoying thing in the cartoons.)
That's okay though, cause I know that soon enough we'll be back to how things were.
>>80926823
So Nolan's trilogy is ridiculous and over the top, is this correct?
>>80926888

Yes, and? She's a psychic dominatrix.
>>80926840
>I can enjoy power girl's boob window and batman's hell bat armor at the same time.
And for both of those, I'm going to call you out on your shit taste. Honestly, your opinion is shit, and "people" like you are why comics are so lacking in good stories.
>>80926888
Yes, because they are movies about a rich dude who beats up criminals while dressed up in a bat costume. The villain of the second installment is an evil anarchist clown who at one point crossdresses in a nurses outfit for fucks sake!
Batman, is inherently over the top stupid. And before you ask, yes, that DOES make it bad. To hell with this chucklefuck bullshit.
>>80926843
I used to be really annoyed by SJWs but now the backlash against them is so far in the other direction that I can't help but enjoy people getting buttmad about them getting their way. I guess I'm just an asshole like that.
>>80926888
Did you watch it? Of course it's ridiculous. No matter how much political commentary or flashy fight scenes he adds, it will still be a story about a man dressing up as a bat and beating people up. It is not realistic. You are meant to suspend belief in realism or it simply doesn't work. In reality batman gets shut down by the military the moment he drives his bat tank into the streets. In this make believe world of batmen and spooky gas attacks (the actual repercussions of which are ignored and rightly so) it is perfectly acceptable, and yet some how still silly. Bane was silly, the Joker was great and yet still silly, scarecrow was fucking goofy. Yes it was absolutely over the top.
>>80926843
>Selene The Black Queen, she will be toned down
you are about 2 years too late bro.
>>80923617
This.
>>80923649
Spider-Man's costume isn't skimpy, which is what made the Hawkeye """"""movement"""""" so retarded. The only major difference between women's and men's costumes from the 90's that wasn't simply an aspect of the difference between women's and men's fashion was that women's costumes were often these ridiculous outfits literally from strippers and pornos, which is a thing that has basically gone away years ago.
Complaining about idealized bodies and skintight clothing in fucking comic books is goddamn stupid, but asking for girls to at least wear something more than your average slave doujin character is reasonable. Look at the 80's costumes of Ms. Marvel and She-Hulk, they show plenty of leg and shoulder while still being comparable to the men's costumes. Women and men's fashion are inherently different.

If it did, then I wouldn't shy away from talking to capefags in real life, because I'm afraid they'll be insufferable manchildren triggered by change like yourself even though we share interests.

Couldn't be happier. It completely takes me out of the story and I find it an insult to the readers' intelligence. I can only stand stuff like this in comedies and parodies, when you're supposed to be laughing at how ridiculous the behavior of the characters is.

That's entirely subjective.
>>80928028
Ok anon.
>>80924641
I should beat your fat ass so at least you know what a work out is. But instead you will just sit in your mother's basement eating pizza and drinking pop and never know a day of work in your life.
You are the reason for the geek stereotype, get a fucking job, sweat a little and make a fucking life.

Well there's also /a, /tv, oh wait we're on 4chan so just everything here is a joke, might as well get in on the laugh.

Thank fucking goodness for that.
>>80927990
So, you basically just have no argument whatsoever, right? Because you're not actually saying why you object to the views of your opponent.
>The rest of us however are able to handle the sight of skin when we go to the beach.
One can only speculate how. Human skin is a waxy, porous, grease-drenched nightmare.
>>80927957
So give me visuals that are cohesive with the story. You want to establish this chick as a stone cold badass? Having her spine contort in inhuman ways and dressed like she's going to a strip club are the worst possible visuals for conveying this point.
>>80928014
Of course it's dead, why pay for a subscription to a magazine just to see a few naked women every month when you can go online whenever you want and see an infinite number of women, not just naked, but engaging in any sex act imaginable?
Are you seriously crying about Playboy, the magazine that's been obsolete for almost two decades?
>>80928129
>You want to establish this chick as a stone cold badass?
No, I don't. Female characters like that are a dime a dozen. Sexbomb females are extinct and need to return.
>>80925566
>Can you even take someone like Emma Frost seriously
Yes, she uses her sex appeal for its advantage. She has never been afraid to use all the tools in her toolbox, she doesn't give a shit about other peoples opinions of her she just does what is for the best and takes advantage of whatever abilities she has.
Ambivalent. You can take them away in books but you can't control my thoughts. In my mind I am free. And there are tittymonsters everywhere.
>>80928103
Everything you say about how you regard the human body is pathetic and warns people that you are autistic and wizardly. You are not my opponent, you hold views so far out there we aren't even in the same discussion. You view the human body, regardless of appearance or level of fitness 'gross', whereas I enjoy sexuality and celebrate the physical form.
>>80927994
And jumping the shark is when you go too far and break the suspension. Having a chick in a bikini fighting a bunch of dudes with machine guns and the story still take itself seriously just breaks the suspension.
I'll be honest I do not mind the drift away from the skimpy costume. I think theres a time and a place for it depending on the character. Namor will never not make sense wearing little to nothing, Likewise Emma Frost, makes sense dressing in more outrageous clothing.
But people love to use the word 'pandering' to describe what comics do these days for SJW's and female readers and minorities. That shit back then was pandering to. It was drawing big titties with not much covering them in silly poses that are there for no reason but to show off tits and ass for the sol expression of spoon feeding you horn-slop.
Sexy and even sexualized characters are cool in my book. but id love for the character to come first rather than how 'hawt' they look in a few buckles and straps. and i'm not gonna ball up my wittle fists and cry 'SJWS RUIN EVERYTHING' just because Psylocke doesn't dress in a blue bathing suit anymore.
>>80928050
>a visual medium has to make sense visual
Are you sure it's subjective?
>>80925566
I agree with everything but the Emma Frost thing. Her overtly sexual appearance is part of her character and personality.
When they had for instance Sue storm dressing like that though...it was kinda dumb.
>>80928182
>Sexbomb females are extinct
HAHAHA! One, my point wasn't to put more female badasses in comics, it was that the visuals need to convey this fact when you introduce one, just like how a sex bomb female will flaunt her looks when the occasion calls for it. Two, sexbomb females are extinct? With at least two femme fatales in every major male superhero title??
>>80926473
Robot body. Why would she wear pants? She's covering her vagina and nipples because its legally required, she has a jacket for pockets. Also, while she doesn't get naked in the series she has to in order to wear the invisibility cloak she did in the movie.
Why would she care what she wears? She never has and would probably go nude if she legally could.
>>80927968
>Everything or Nothing
This mentality is what's wrong with everything today, you have to be one way or another, there's no room to just be.
not everyone likes their food either spicy or bland, there's always room for a middle ground.

Starfire...hehe.
>see sexually liberated alien girl
>turn into 'you want sucky fuck fuck' living blow up doll
Yeah that was brilliant.
>>80928368
It's a robot body that looks exactly like a real one, and she goes out in public in a society where nobody else dresses like that. It's just a bizarre design choice.
>>80923190
she looks frumpy and uncomfortable to be there.
>>80923190
>that gloss
so it's true, the "skin" of that costume really is latex
>>80928359
>With at least two femme fatales in every major male superhero title??
Name 4 that dress provocatively in current comics. CURRENT comics.
>>80926473
Makoto doesn't really have a sense of her body as a human though. She would have sex with a kid just because he was curious. It mentally doesn't bother her . She acknowledges her skin but doesn't think of it the way people do.
>>80928272
>You view the human body, regardless of appearance or level of fitness 'gross',
Because it is. You, me, and everyone else is a writhing mass of meat, blood, fat, and bones. This is an objective fact.
>whereas I enjoy sexuality and celebrate the physical form.
Why? Rather, how? How can you possibly find anything alluring about visceral tissue and stretchy membranes full of holes which expel salty fluid? And how can you be proud of it?
>>80928219
>Yes, she uses her sex appeal for its advantage.
Which makes her a whore. Emma Frost is a whore, anon.
>>80928405
The material is too thick and the sash is so high its making the fucking costume look like it has built in mom jeans.
Honestly i would have rather they gone with the modern full on skin tight body suit.
Oh and chosen real fucking actress.
>>80928422
Starfire
Atlee
Harley quinn
Magick
>>80928382
What's the diffrence between Starfire asking someone if they want to has sex and Dick asking someone if they want to have sex anon? I was never able to figure this one out.
Also, I know it's painful to do, but if you read more than that one page of RatO you'll see why I liked that version of Kori so much. I just wish that comic wasn't so bad.
>>80928447
Wrong. A whore has no advantages.
>>80928514
Well they're both male fantasies. When Starfire ask for sex we imagine she's askong us and when Dick ask for sex we see ourselves as him.
>>80928500
Star's current comic is hardly provocative at all, at least I don't find it to be, infact it's incredibly generic.
Magik, aside from being barefoot, has actually put more cloths on since leaving the cast of Uncanny X-Men.
Harley Quinn is a dumb slut who should dress like a whore
>>80927909
The Greeks and Romans are cited because it is them more than any other civilization that has influenced our current one.
I am a bit of a nudist i hate clothes they are impractical unless you are cold. I've worked in a few bars and been lucky enough to never have to wear a shirt. Women go to clubs and wear little clothes especially at raves because those get fucking hot! So fuck your sensibilities,you want to not be offended by seeing skin. You are exactly what is wrong with the left these days, your right to not be offended is bullshit. I should be able to wear what i want or not wear what i want (unless I'm at work).
And that is why Hercules is the best Marvel hero. He doesn't give a shit, he wants people to be free of social constraints.
>>80928514
I dunno whats the context of Dick doing it. Because with starfire heres what I read (and yeah sorry its what caused me to groan and put the book down as so much pandering garbage).
Starfire emerges from the water in a series of 'look at all that orange skin dont it make you horny' way. It didn't set up a funny moment or an awkward moment. It was just 'hey here look at this'. Then she walks up to green arrow junior and goes 'want some fuk' and hes surprised for a second then cool about it.
It didn't seem to serve any purpose beyond going 'hey look at how willing this alien lady is to fuck immediately'. It didn't give insight into her culture or her character. It was just there to present her as a super hot lady who will fuck immediately. It was some nerd fantasy pandering and done in a way that i think took away from the character.
>>80928447
You are insane. This is an objective fact. If what you have said is what you truly feel and not just super bait, you are insane. We as a species are served better by the fact you, most likely willingly, will not reproduce. You are the broken link in the circle of life. Do not ask me why, ask yourself why not? What part of your mind has been scarred, what part of your brain is damaged? That is the question. I have no answers for you, and fear what spells you may try to cast with all your wizardly might.
>>80928554
>when Dick ask for sex we see ourselves as him.maybe we imagine ourselves the other person
>>80928554
No, I'm asking for a diffrence, not how they are similar, from what I gather fans of the characters only complain about casual sex when it comes from Kori. Even this bit here isn't enough to diminish Dick's rep, whereas if it was Kori, plowing Jason right before inviting Jim to her and Dick's wedding fans would be up in arms and foaming at the mouth. Just strange ro me is all.
>>80928711
This just demonstrates how much of a dick Dick is. What kind of jackass would ever do that?
>>80928403
She would prefer to to wear anything. She compromising.
I doubt that's true but even if it was, so what?
Capefags only care about 2 things: fanservice (in any form) and brand loyalty. The past 70 years prove that they'll keep buying this shit no matter what DC/Marvel do.
>>80928675
>I should be able to wear what i want or not wear what i want
Not anywhere I can see you, faggot. There are public decency laws for a reason. Go back to your filthy nudist colony and stay there.
>>80928699
>Do not ask me why, ask yourself why not? What part of your mind has been scarred, what part of your brain is damaged?
The only thing damaged is my eyes when some screeching ape decides to flash their disgusting body at me.
>>80928447
Right, have a miserable virgin life then. The human body is very enjoyable to touch and taste.
>>80928711
People complained about Kori's casual sex ecounters because she was emotional cold and detached.

If it wasn't Munn they would've went with some british goblin from GoT.
i appriciate that theres more practical logic put into someones costume (especially if theyre going out fighting and shit) but if it works for a character to be skimpy it works
why not both? variety is good, after all people are diferentand a banana hammack cape just for kicks
>>80928447
>How can you possibly find anything alluring about visceral tissue and stretchy membranes full of holes which expel salty fluid? And how can you be proud of it?
I could maybe have understood the points you made towards the beginning of the thread (assuming that was you), but statements like this suggest that you not only have a problem with sex and women in comics but that you have significant and possibly unhealthy hang-ups with sex in general. Sex is a part of life for (most of ) us, so of course it's going to have a place in comics. The question is to what extent it should be depicted, and if Big 2/cape comics currently do a good job or an egregious or gratuitous job of it.
>>80929483
See, here's the issue with your argument. Just because sex is a part of life, doesn't make it a good thing. Cyanide and war are part of life too, does that mean we should celebrate it? Fuck no. So why the hell should we celebrate sex?
>you have significant and possibly unhealthy hang-ups with sex in general
Excuse me for not being particularly proud about being a filthy animal programmed to be nigh obsessed with sticking my dick in every hole I see. Are you actually okay with that kind of existence? Don't you find it the least bit hollow that this is how your reality is? Cause I do, this is a shitty way for life to function.

Ah, and there it is. Someone who can't come up with a constructive argument so he just pulls insults out of his ass. Buddy, you're going to have to resort to google if you want to see drawings of women in slutty outfits presented seriously. Deal with it.
>>80931021
Harley Quinn IS a dumb slut who dresses like a whore. Whether one means it as an insult or not, it's true.
>Buddy, you're going to have to resort to google if you want to see drawings of women in slutty outfits presented seriously.
And this is why comic books have been reduced to script fodder, because nerds will fight to the death to keep the comics themselves terrible.
>>80923131

Forgetting the "sluttiness" bullshit the giant cat face is idiotic. All that outfit is, is her old one with tacky cat eyes and the white trim taken away.
Even if you don't like sluttiness, that's a poor solution to it.
>>80931283
I don't think I buy that. Maybe if it's poorly done but if you're just completely taken out of the story because something mildly titillating happened that sounds more like an issue with the reader than the writer/artist.
>>80927356
but it's selene
she's a sadistic whore-queen of rome that wouldn't be found dead going to the groceries

I like how none of you could be bothered to actually answer the question. Probably because the only answers are "Yes" thus you'd have to agree with me, "losing" the argument, or "No" and making yourselves look like simpleton retards.
>>80929868

Jesus.
The main female character in my new comic is completely nude, and Image loved the concept. So looks like the bare super heroine aren't over yet.
>>80927909

BAHAHAHAHA, my God you're actually using this as an argument. I thought your type only existed in Tom Kratman books.
>>80932124
What argument?
All desires, including the ones you deem superior to sex drive, are just chemical reactions in your brain. There's no reason to consider any of them better than any other.
>>80932094
>Ripley in her underwear didn't undermine Alien.
Yes it did. Skivvies add unintentional humor to a scene that's supposed to be scary.
>>80932125
I certainly try to be. And honestly, nobody NEEDS to fuck. Maybe they need to rub one out every now and then, but nobody actually needs to fuck anybody else. Nothing's going to explode if you don't get laid.

I read somewhere that Munn insisted on the swimsuit costume
>>80926473
>That's why pic related bothered me so much when I watched GitS
They actually did explain it. She dresses up like a sex doll as an expression of how she doesn't consider that body "hers". It's a mass-produced model and it's not a part of her self-identity.
You'd have less bodily modesty if there were hundreds of people out there who look exactly like you and people have seen those ones naked already.
>>80932366
that's well and good but I imagine even in the future most militarizes have some kind of dress code

>But if these costumes show too much skin it's just silly

>Yes it did. Skivvies add unintentional humor to a scene that's supposed to be scary.
To you, maybe. The vast majority of audiences found it scary AND sexy, but not less scary and definitely not funny.
>>80931021
What insults? Anon is right.
It's absolutely in-character for Harley to dress the way she does.
>>80925566
Poison Ivy is effectively a nymph. She seduces her enemies and turns them into thralls or destroys them. Wearing an awkwardly designed black latex suit doesn't seem to go well with this theme when in the past, the design worked around a naturalist look. Yes, this meant a lot of tasteful side boob and implied lewd, but that was her character.
Poison Ivy is a poor example for reasonably covering up a female character.
>>80932680
some artists did draw Poison Ivy full nude for a while there.
>>80932547
>scary AND sexy
... That's sick.
>>80932289
>There's no reason to consider any of them better than any other.
Sexual desires lead to shattered relationships, violence, rape, immuno-deficiency diseases, prejudice, annoying neckbeards drooling over shitty artwork, and (in one very memorable case) war.
So yeah, sex has quite a bit going against it.

Lack of it also leads to broken relationships, sexual violence, major aggression, and all sorts of other mental and physical problems. Sex is healthy, both mentally and physically. Europe medical community has understood this and will give severely d issabled people money for prostitutes. Sex isn't just wham bam thank you mame. It connects people with humanity in a way you don't get any other way.
I'm not saying it doesn't have its darker side but sex makes you connect with life. It is important and healthy to every individual, unless you are an enlightened one like monks who meditate and shun all desire. Then denial is a tool.
Go and find a girlfriend, experiment and hopefully have sex with someone you care about,not a one night stand
>>80933025
So much salt
>>80927264
Sounds outdated, we need to modernize.
We're getting left behind in the sexy game.
Out of touch nerds let out of wack feminists delude them into believing the modern world is devoid of gratuitous sexuality. But it's simply different. We need to look to other media and how they handle it.
Then we need to interpret it for the comics medium.
So y'know, more ass injections.
>>80933404
>Sex is healthy, both mentally and physically.
>It connects people with humanity in a way you don't get any other way.
It's much healthier to see someone as a person and not as an ambulatory fucktoy. Seems like if you need to have sex with someone to have a good relationship with someone, you're both just using each other.
>It is important and healthy to every individual,
How presumptuous. As before, nobody absolutely needs to fuck, it is not necessary, and there are more cons than pros to the act itself and the repercussions of it.

>>80923131
I just wish they had cooler outfits. Usually end up being sexier for it as well.
>>80935788
I always felt it wasn't ever really the costumes so much as well, shit like this.
The costume itself is really no more revealing than a gym leotard or a swimsuit but the way artists contort the bodies in ways that defy anatomy and physics just to get an ass shot is just jarring at best
>>80923131
most skimpy outfits are incredibly boring. cleavage, no cleavage, pants, no pants, whatever, just make it aesthetically interesting
>>80935708
You ever hear the saying, "Don't knock it 'til you've tried it?"
Your ignorance on the subject is clearly poking out of your argument.
Also, a birth rate of at least 2 per couple is necessary for life to be sustainable. Otherwise the retired outnumber the working who support them, and everyone struggles to make ends meet.
>>80935858
Nah it's the costumes they bitch about
>>80935717
Then do please explain to poor ignorant me why sex is necessary for any reason. I'm sure you'll cite reproduction, vital to preserving our species and our approximately zero worthy accomplishments. Can't wait to hear about that.
