So I attached a poll to this. If you choose "other" please elaborate in the comments here!

Bit of a wildcard here but how about 'which models are in it'? :D
Also would have thought 'nudity'/sexual peril would've been an option rather than relegated to the realms of 'Other'?
A genuine other for me would be the number of gals involved and the roles/characters they have .(by role I mean large or cameo)
How strange are the ways of the gods ...........and how cruel.

I'm not happy you combined KO-Death into the same category. I think the two are distinctly different.
Yes Supergirl, that's right its a necklace for you....What's the matter you don't like Kryptonite?

The reason I didn't include it is because, as a PG-13 producer, we don't include nudity or sexual peril in our films, so even though I know it's important, it doesn't really help me as a producer for our next batch of films. :)

I could only include 20 options in the poll-- I ran out of room-- and they are basically the same process when filming for me.

Understood. I'm all for KO but death is a sales killer for me. Hope that's helpful!

I Choose Female vs Female, Story and Peril, but i agree the model is very important, but as we know the actresses heroine legends that overall are fantastic (vega, Allura, Mytic and others), so I marked these options

Interesting question. Hotness of model plays a factor, but acting ability and willingness to sell peril/torture is even more important. For a two model shoot, both need to be great. For three or more, the lead heroine and villain need to be great. The others can be hot, and gain experience as the kidnapped woman, inexperienced heroine, henchmen muscle, and so forth.

I went this way as well and agree that actresses play a big roll too. No point in having the best looking Supergirl ever if she can't do a line of dialogue or act.

Makes sense, sorry if I came off a little touchy thanks for explaining.

I'm a big KO fan so its always great to have a few in a video. Whether from chloro/gas, fighting, or a weakness (kryptonite), though I prefer the first and third myself. So even though I can't pick it in the poll I'd add KO in as well.

No worries there-- I figured the 20-option limit wasn't known across the board… I didn't know about it until it errored out at 21 options ;)

Body type. I like voluptuous. I really prefer leggy.

I selected "other" instead of just "peril" because I personally like to see a "tables turned" scenario. Too many one-sided peril vids out there, I like my heroine to be cocky and kick a lot of ass before she gets the rug pulled out from under her. Makes the humiliation aspect so much better.

I agree… we have a film called "Agent Files 2: Bait and Switch" which is like that-- we need to do more.

Peril first and foremost - the heroine needs to be in some kind of trouble. That ties into -

Story - because I like to see something a little more than Thugs beat up Wonder Woman

Finally - Costume - at least for me. While I like models to be pretty, I'm into this because of the costumes - they're superheroines - so they need to dress the part. Otherwise I just have a pretty girl in peril. Nothing wrong with that, but it's not the thing I'm looking for.

A good costume first or i don't even look any further.

A decent story and good acting are always a plus, especially for sequel potential.

Peril is a must, preferably with bondage involved for me.

Similar to previous comments the actress/model/character is important to me.

Naturally I chose perilbut that is such a wode area, I can't explain why but for me watching a seemingly invincible superheroine being overpowered when NOT completely depowered is so exciting.
Like when SG was thrown against the vending machine inSG 1984 or when WW first fought Formicida and got thrown around a little.
