On the contrary, not only aren't those plans ruined, but I imagine they will magnify across the land. Transformations will flourish on TikTok. Cosplayers will now suddenly proliferate to portray a character they formerly considered too difficult or too C-list to bother with. And the She-Hulk transformation fetish vids on C4S will multiply, and hopefully get better in quality. Maybe we'll even get a couple new Forum members out of it.Dogfish wrote: ↑1 year agoWelp, saw the first episode. They had a lot to cram in there story-wise because they presumably didn't want to pay Mark Ruffalo to be around for too much of it. Was okay though.
There's a bunch of very silly debates going around about the design of the character. Seems fine to me, but some people's masturbatory plans seem to be in ruins.
I expect now most of the explanatory stuff is out of the way the show can start doing its thing.
I've never had a 'masturbatory plan' and now I feel I've been missing out
My guess is yes. This show will undoubtedly have a number of woke messages to spread. I think it's disheartening that our society--apparently too lazy or busy pursuing more pleasurable desires--eschews exercising in favor of pretending being overweight is just fine and focusing on the inane body positivity movement. No logical person would go out of their way to mock someone for being overweight, but the movement towards celebrating obesity and ignoring all the negative health factors for fear of shaming someone is worse (in my opinion).

To start, There's a GREAT irony here in that we're talking about people being too busy perusing more pleasurable desires instead of perusing physical excellence... ON a fetish website focused around the sexual objectification of powerful, physically fit, women and then pointing at folks who aren't physically fit and pushing for them to become physically fit.

She's obviously paraphrasing. She probably goes to the gym 2-3 times a day during an 8-12 hour 'work period'ivandobsky wrote: ↑1 year agoI don't really get the comments from the lead actor about "going to the gym 1000 times a week". I get that there's an expectation for men to be ripped in this kind of film, but a jacked she-hulk goes more against the "societal expectations" thing than one with a more regular physique.
Also, visiting the gym 1000 times a week is overtraining and will actually hurt your gains.
I respect your opinion, but to me, what Maslany says doesn't make any sense, as Mr. X proved completely with his comparisons between what the current display of women's superheroic bodies looks like, compared to the men's.
I don't have any skin in this race. I respect that she's being employed and thus under contract. There's a difference between speaking out that you're concerned with the kinds of expectations you're under for your job vs REFUSING to do it while you're under contract no? It isn't like she hasn't been going to the gym as per her agreement. My only point above is that nobody OWES us anything, and that there's an irony in seeking what we're aroused by... and like... pushing people to conform to what we're aroused by. We don't have a leg to stand in in how anyone ought to be presenting themselves to us. IF they want to be fit, and it happens to conform to what arouses us, that's that... but we don't get to bitch and complain if someone DOESNT conform to what arouses us. They don't OWE us masturbation material.shevek wrote: ↑1 year agoI respect your opinion, but to me, what Maslany says doesn't make any sense, as Mr. X proved completely with his comparisons between what the current display of women's superheroic bodies looks like, compared to the men's.
It doesn't matter if she thinks going to the gym 1000 times a week is unrealistic, because
1) As an actress, she doesn't have to go the gym. She just has to be reasonably fit enough to play Jen, and then the CGI guys do all the work to
make her look super-jacked and hot as She-Hulk. She's not even the real 'hero' here per se, the computer jockeys are, behind the scenes. Without
them, the hotness of She-Hulk would simply not exist! (unless they cast a second actress, such as a pro wrestler, as She-Hulk - see #2)
2) There's nothing about superhero stories that really needs to be 'realistic', Marvel's "the world outside your window" chestnut notwithstanding.
If all of your stories take place in a gritty back alley in New York, maybe. But that hasn't been the tone of almost any Marvel production anyway, since the days of Daredevil and Jessica Jones.
Sakaaran spaceships don't appear outside your window, and neither do gamma-irradiating devices. So it's perfectly fine to display an 'unrealistic'
version of a woman's body, like the CGI-'d She-Hulk. They've done it for decades in comics, TV shows and movies. Because it's a fantasy, not reality.
And furthermore, it's not even true that her shape is *that* unrealistic: you can find dozens of women in current wresting leagues wearing spandex
and looking more or less like a jacked-up superheroine. Just because Maslany doesn't look like that doesn't invalidate these professional women wrestlers' right to be muscular *and* sexy. Have you seen Pittsburgh's own Britt Baker? She is a powerhouse, by any measure, and could have easily played She-Hulk.
3) What Mr. X showed to be the new-ish double standard in mainstream entertainment. Fan service for male heroes is welcomed and encouraged, while fan service for female heroes is not. I stress again - this is something new, and frankly this is almost a religious doctrine akin to fundamentalist beliefs in Christianity, Islam, Buddhism and probably East Asian traditions, too. The only difference between this new ideology and the old religions is that there is a 'libertine' component - for example, females are allowed to swear like sailors, have sex with whomever they want on a whim, and display their assets off to other females for mutual admiration and support (for example, when the women offer Jen makeup in the bar bathroom, or compliment her on her amazing ass). But the men are no longer allowed to do that. If Bruce told Jen her body looks amazing as She-Hulk, he'd be excoriated as sexist (even though the statement is 100% factual, and he even recommended the spandex) whereas if her paralegal Nikki does it, it's empowering. Capeesh?
Plus - and this one is more directed to Femina about what happens on this Forum - our lovely Forum is not just about admiring powerful women's bodies. It's about THREE aspects, split in more or less equal measure: 1) Power (also known as 'Girl Power'), 2) Peril (SHIP, or DID) and 3) Sex (aka 'porn'). The best superheroine fetish productions, at least IMHO, display all three aspects in more or less equal measure, which covers all the fanbases. We are lucky on this forum to be able to discuss all three, because there are other forums (which I shall not name) which ban you if you try to bring up #2 or #3, or both. Thus, we can discuss how much raw power She-Hulk displays in her spandex costume or using her abilities, but also how much peril she gets into, and whether she has orgasms or how sexy she is in general. All three are valid discussion topics to be addressed.
Given that there is such a double standard in current mainstream productions, I would say that the opportunities for #2 and #3 are very much tamped down compared to previous eras, and that in general, today's postmodern producers are looking for ways to eliminate all possible fan service, aka moments of 'fappability'. They might not totally succeed (quite a few occurred in the Supergirl series, anyway), but even if they do, so what?
That just allows independent producers to move more strongly into that space. Personally, I can't wait for the fetish producers to unleash a new wave of She-Hulk transformations, clothes-shripping, muscular power displays, and tight costume exertion that will gradually improve in quality, given the growing niche demand. It's the same principle as the current indie comics explosion (the largest in industry history, in terms of sheer sales) - whatever the hardcore fans aren't getting from the Big 2, they'll look elsewhere for, and that goes for fetish, as well as art and storylines and politics, and so on.
As I've said, I just tell anyone who has trouble sitting through the She-Hulk episodes without continuously cringing every few minutes, to try out Darna, from a country that still has its superheroine aesthetics firmly grounded in the equivalent of the American 70s and 80s. There's something for everyone, thanks to the Internet!

I can say this much, if my fitness trainer told me he likes to fap to fit women I'd quit going to his gym. On some level you know 'of course he does, why wouldn't he?' but there's a difference between knowing that a man faps to fit women... and being a fit woman and realizing 'he's fapping at ME.' Actors and Actresses are in that delegation of people who realize that there's people fapping about them. Some can handle that, some would rather not think about it, some are going to be smart enough to ponder about 'why' this is and wonder about where boundaries ought to or ought not exist in that relationship with the public and they're allowed to voice their opinions on it if they so wish without being point blank accused of corporate servitude... that's just cancel culture for you though I guess.
Unfortunately I consider the bulk of what you're talking about to be a result of the depression of the human race. The less opportunity the vast majority possess, the less motivation the vast majority have to DO much of anything about it because the vast majority have no power to do anything about regardless of how hard they work for it. In America at least, the 99% are in terminal depression. It's well and good to say 'you should just go out and exercise!' to some overweight lady declaring she's fine with her body as it is but doesn't seem to ACTUALLY be happy... but depression doesn't give two shits about facts and logic, that's the whole insidious mechanism behind depression, your ability to BE logical is depressed. To be clear I DONT like to see when women who are fit, healthy, traditionally pretty etc. get a bunch of jealous negative buzz because of that if maintaining their body is what they WANT to do either... but it is definitively not wrong at all for an actress to speak out if the conditions she's working in aren't ideal. There's such a thing as being TOO fit (Arnold on steroids I'm looking at you) and there's such a thing as feeling like you don't have to slave your life away in pursuit of the public's masturbatory ideal so that we can salivate over fresh injections of phonography of her because let's take a moment to be COMPLETELY real about the actual complaint any of us have about the She-Hulk's statement on THIS website.
Here, on the fetish site about objectifying physically fit women, we are naturally inclined to be opposed to the outlook that women don't have to all be physical specimens, and consider it a threat to the fetish when there are fewer physical 'Adoni' gracing our computer screens....
We have to accept that no one owes us the pleasure of masturbating at their bodies if they aren't comfortable with it, and nobody under contract to be masturbatory materiel has to be HAPPY about it. No judgments, we're human beings, we by and large need masturbation material so the human race doesn't lose its collective shit ALL THE TIME... but while we ought all be free to consume masturbation material at our whim, we ought equally be free to voice our opinions about it, and if in the position, to voice our frustrations about it when we find ourselves to BE said material.
In short... I see nothing wrong here with anything she said.

I don't think its new. Nearly every show with an attractive male lead (action show) had shirts off scenes in the past. Kirk, Magnum, Lee Majors, Hulk (though not sure if women liked that), all those barbarian movies (remember sons of Hercules), Supernatural which is over 11 years old now. Not new though I would say more exaggerated now. male shirts off scenes go way back. Heck even the boys have little female fan service while they had the Jensen Ackles shirtless scenes. Even the latest Jack Reacher had some shirts off fan service while the female lead was rather mediocre. heck Henry Cavil walked around for about 20 minutes shirtless in justice league yet people only complained when the camera did a 10 second pan past Gal Godot's booty in leather pants.shevek wrote: ↑1 year ago

I thought I made myself clear, but I don't mind explaining it again. Yes, the double standard *is* new to the Current Era (post-2014)..or you can look at it as an ironic return to the pre-1960s double standard, if you remember that far back. In between, there were about 50 years of libertinism - the longest period of relative cultural liberty since probably Roman times, which coincided with American ascendancy and its subsequent slide into decadence. But that's what we long for.Mr. X wrote: ↑1 year ago

If you read about a lot of what was going on in show biz in that same era, it was pretty toxic. Yes, it was juvenile, base humor, but it was what it was. Female characters were often nameless eye candy. Think of the Molls on Batman, the guest damsels on virtually every show, Charlie’s Angels, Bay Watch, WW, Daisy Duke…. My mother, a biochemist and staunch feminist watched Benny Hill too.
That comment smacks of the arrogance and vanity of presentism.

Well your comment smacks of the arrogance and vanity of jumping to fucking conclusions. Did you not see me say "sexism shmexism"? Indeed - that sort of value judgement on a show that started in the fifties is probably pointless. I just mean it's just... a bad show and not funny.

Utterly wrong I'm afraid
Awww, but we hadn't even gotten to the other abstract elements of discussion... like how the other half of She-Hulk is an action show and should be taking inspiration from the greats of the Action genre, Arny's classics would make for excellent inspiration points. Commando, True Lies! Jen obviously should be a deadpan terminatrix stalking through her scenes with the intense focus only possible from a man who can't actually act!
True, they all sponge off Stark. Like all the DC heroes sponge off Bruce Wayne. What does Hulk do other than "research"?Visitor wrote: ↑1 year agoWe haven't gotten to the suspension of disbelief that Jen can afford two different sizes of designer clothes while still paying off her college student loans.
Spiderman is pretty6 much the only one in the MCEU that worries about money since most of the rest sponge off Stark.
