can we take a second to ponder on the fact that a kids movie did lady armor better than the entire film and comic industry
guess who i’m talking about
did you guess? Well you’re fucking WRONG because it’s Susan goddamn Pevensie
They gave her light armor, appropriate for a small archer:chainmail, an arm brace, chest plate, and a light skirt she can easily run around murderizing dudes in the face in
her hair is also only loose in the promo pictures because Susan is fucking busy not dying because her hair was flying into her eyeballs so she braids that shit back
her mail shirt is also loose enough that it doesn’t impede her arm movements it’s almost like she’s dressed for a fight wow
I like the pinks and purples under her bitchin as hell leather armor here, because you don’t have to be masculine to shoot someone in the goddamn face
I feel it’s a worrying statement about the state of media when a movie set in a universe where wardrobes can literally be trans-dimensional portals for the sake of narrative convenience has one of the better examples of making fantasyfemale armor that is styled around something other than sex appeal.
Because while one could, if really determined, pick out all the points by which this armor is not “really functional” the fact is that it does convey a sense of readiness and being larger than life… without resorting to the usual tropes.

It’s been pointed out to us, that it seems now EVERYONE* can be Artemis! Though the outfits for some Artemis are somewhat different:
Of course, given that some characters were already named and had specific roles within the game already… some changes had to be made.
So it seems that in the world of Game of War, everyone has had to surrender their identity to be known as Artemis. Is this why they fight? Possibly, but more likely it’s that they didn’t want to think of more incredibly creative names or risk having to pay their creative/design team a cent more than they absolutely need to in order to make minimum viable product
