I feel like @copperbadge should be tagged for this.
We can ONLY DREAM.
I want to know what sort of stays are needed to keep that from flapping and how it won’t end up puncturing a lung. It’s beautiful and I want fiction exploring these and other questions.
I feel like maybe he has that “invisible” lycra on under it like figure-skaters are required to use to hold their bits of their costumes together.
Okay, that is some FINE redesign of Nomad’s classic outfit into MCU costume style! @hopeless–geek has legit understanding of what were the most iconic parts of the original and translated them really well into how Marvel heroes dress in the films.
I mean, if Steve does abandon the name of Captain America in the movies, why wouldn’t he go for the empowerment of deep cleavage?
As we all know, the deeper the neckline, the deeper the character. And this design is still canon!
I want to believe.

There’s been some excitement over Valkyrie’s full armor for Thor Ragnarok… but frankly I’m disappointed for the most part.
Even Tessa’s Thompson’s badass attitude can’t fix the weirdness of this design. Top plate even has a literal hole between the breasts. It shows the layer of armor beneath instead of bare skin, but it’s still a weakening and blow-directing point on the chest. And even though relatively flat, the breastplate overall brings plenty of attention to the boobs with the shapes and colors (could it be any less subtle than painting the titties gold?).
And that’s a shame, because with a better chest piece (and without the wedgeheels) this could have been a cool, believable female warrior costume (even if more on the aesthetic than practical side).
Seems to me like boob ornamentation always gets in the way of Valkyrie looking truly great, no matter which iteration of the character it is.

Is it just me or does she look like she’s a party member in Mass Effect? I mean…
She does not look like she belongs at all… Is she maybe Space Valkyrie from the Future??
Themyscira. They seem to have a lot of potential and a lot going for them. Including a rather diverse cast. But, well there’s some common themes with the first three (primary) covers:
And well, the first page of the first issue:
It really makes you wonder who this DC Comics was hoping to sell this comic to. I mean if there was ever a series where they should have felt comfortable dropping the old myth sacred among marketing departments and just making a comic that’ll appeal people who like warrior women… this was it.
At least it seems they’ve moved away from this and toward imagery that is both more badass and more referential to the topical movie.

Revealed is definitely the correct verb to describe this video that shows exactly zero gameplay of the new DLC characters for Injustice 2 and only puts one of them in full lighting in the center of the shot… for some reason.
Cheetah’s appearance in Injustice 2. Why even put clothing on an animal hybrid? She’s covered in fur, what are the clothes for? Because they’re not for any purposes of breast support or protection from attacks… The “outfit” ends up calling more attention to various body parts by putting clothes on them, much in the same vein as Jack in Mass Effect 2. That loincloth especially calls a lot of attention to itself.
Also, does she apply lipstick as part of her grooming routine? What’s going on with her mouth?
Though I’ll give her that she looks rightfully upset.

Cheetah’s design changed a lot over time, though whether her spots were a costume or her own fur, she rarely wore clothes over them [image source]:
When she did, though, it was some basic minimalistic garb, not overdesigned “savage” costume with way too many “exotic” accessories over boobs and butt.
I, as a woman, want Wonder Woman to be hot as hell, fight badass, and look great at the same time – the same way men want Superman to have huge pecs and an impractically big body. That makes them feel like the hero they want to be. And my hero, in my head, has really long legs.
Because that:
Has TOTALLY the same costuming priorities as this:
With lines like that, maybe Jenkins and the costume designer, Lindy Hemming, aim to be the Mari Shimazakis of Hollywood… Except Diana of Themyscira is not Bayonetta, so “she’s supposed to be very sexy and I as a lady find it empowering” excuses do not really work, even in
I want to be optimistic and am gonna assume that the crew is contractually obligated to endorse every choice made about the movie, no matter how ridiculous it is when you think about it for more than a second.
That being said, please don’t read it as an endorsement to boycott Wonder Woman in cinemas. Critics have been saying some great and interesting things about it, so if you decide to watch it, remember that you can enjoy the movie while being critical of its flaws (like costumes that contradict the story’s message). Still, be watchful of both what’s communicated on screen and behind the scenes, cause those things say a lot about how female-led stories are viewed in the industry.
