I mean…

@batmanisagatewaydrug

so not only is this Boob Armor appallingly ugly, but it’s extra inexplicable when you consider

they clearly goddamn know how to make lady armor without boobs, what the fuck happened?

Thanks to many readers who sent photos of the MCU Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok our way! 

Remembering that Lady Sif from the same franchise always presented as “Stupid Hollywood Bullshit, But Demonstrates That a Completely Armored Woman Can Still Be Sexy AF” and her armor veered on the smoother side of boobplate, it’s sad to see Valkyrie’s breastplate fully embrace the vacuum-sealed aesthetic. 

Is Valkyrie’s role in Marvel to always come in and bluntly remind us that female armor has to have hypervisible boobs? 

What a spectacular way to ruin an otherwise cool costume design and the introduction of Tessa Thompson, a woman of color, in a role of Norse-inspired character.

Freya from Battlerite totally proves this is a very creative game… she’s such an original Viking/Norse lady with her flimsy bikini top, two Mjolnirs and horned headpiece totally not similar to what Marvel’s Loki wears in their female form. 

Gotta say, though, from waist down the design would be fine… too bad the artists are firmly in the club of designers who think that Vikings invented either the bikini or metal boob cups.

Dat Ás – the Pin-Up Calendar You didn’t Know You Needed

To balance out Destiny of Ancient Kingoms’ absolute lack of any Norse mythology elements, even though they claim to be based on it, here’s a project which does honor that culture… with male empowerment! 

Seriously though, apart from Jotun, which is unironically good, this is the most knowledgeable spin on Nordic legends that deserved to be featured on BABD (even if not all of those gods are actually Æsir, I’ll let that slide for the sake of double entendre 😉

Full images can be found in the artist’s dA gallery here.
