A male actor will take his shirt off cause it's not a big deal for a guy to take his shirt off. Men have been topless in movies since like the 40's, maybe earlier, and in the general public since who-knows-when before that. It's a non-event. A female actor going topless is different. I thought nothing of it when Shatner went topless in a Star Trek episode, but when Yeoman Janice Rand went topless in an episode, now that made an impression! (yep, 2nd part didn't happen.)
A superhero showing off how muscle-bound he is seems like an obvious superhero thing to do, or strong male action hero thing to do. Not nearly as many superheroines are muscle-bound in comics, I can think of two, and neither She-Hulk or Thundra have been put in a movie or TV show yet. So it's not the same thing. And if muscle-bound superheroines are put in movies, they'll probably show muscle, but they won't go totally topless and show boobs, not in a movie aimed at kids as well as adults. Or maybe they will, who knows by then!
This is about as topless as superheroines in movies are gonna get, at least in movies that are hoping for a large kid audience (brought to theaters by parents)...

but yeah, she needs a better costume, and is likely to get one, in whatever next movie she appears in. Tony Stark will probably make that happen for her, he can better afford it. Apparently in Age of Ultron, she was not as well-to-do as avenger.

I'm looking forward to the Captain Marvel movie. Sucks to have to wait til 2019. Also looking forward to Evangeline Lilly as Wasp in 2018, also too far away in the future.
I googled black widow action figure. They do make some. I wonder how they sell compared to the male characters. Guess I'll go google that now.
