Why is Marvel/Disney (or whoever owns the rights currently) making more and more movies and games about Spider-man, Iron Man and Captain America when they could be making them about Namor, the Sub-Mariner? So the state of licensing is more than a little complicated – with this much potential fixing the situation so they can capitalize on this should be a top priority!

I mean check out his credentials (from 1966), pure empowerment right there!

Considering Namor is one of the rare male characters that are actually acknowledged as very sexy in-universe, it wouldn’t be improper if the filmography focused a lot on his washboard abs.

And let’s not forget that since DC made Khal Drogo the movie Aquaman, it’s an appropriate time to counter Jason Momoa’s… everything with someone equally empowered (preferably not a white guy named Chris).

I haven’t had a chance to read this series and certainly not all the covers were up to this standard, but can we talk about how awesome Leia looks on all of these?  Can we?

This is the girl from the Ragnarok Online post a while back.

I always found it weird that a common justification was “freedom of movement” for drawing/presenting women in bikinis or lingerie with random bits tacked on as armor. Given that battle bikinis and lingerie armor generally come with accessories such as high heels, spikes jutting against the skin, and extremely tight mini-skirts, etc, such outfits would usually impede movement or even harm the wearer if they moved in certain ways. So, I’m fairly certain that the “freedom of movement” argument is kinda moot.

Finally a kind of post this blog was created for, YAY! 😀
Great point!

A very special comic for this Throwback Thursday, one that illustrates the ongoing problem with so so many designs.  Remember designers: Armor is supposed to help you survive, not hinder you!
