    I mean, I’m as much of a gooner as the next guy but if you don’t think the one on the right is hot that’s a you problem.

    It’s not even a horny thing, but the one on the left is just too distracting. I’d be staring at it the whole time just trying to figure out why Supergirl made that choice.

    Her thighs would always be cold. Any major combat movement is going to make her bits show. It looks like she literally cut her shorts into that shape.

    Like… I like attractive women too, but come on, guys. There’s no way in hell she’d wear her costume like that. I’d just be annoyed by it the whole time.

    Sex is too important to be left to porn.

    Not saying this guy in particular is right, but I hate this attitude that “porn exists so we shouldn’t have sex, or nudity, or anything horny in other art forms”. We shouldn’t treat people like creeps just because they want more horny in mainstream art.

    I find the current cinema trend of “everyone is beautiful, but no one is horny” far creepier than the rampant sexualization in old 80s movies.

      Afaict, nobody is making the argument that you’re refuting.

      There is art that is elevated by being horny and art that is made worse by it. Being horny doesn’t fit this character, and isn’t relevant to the story being told, so it seems like a bad fit. Being a bad fit, the only people this would benefit are creeps who want upskirt shots of whoever, and I don’t think that’s a demographic to cater to at the sacrifice of the more vulnerable demographics that this film is targeting.

      porn in america is hyper-aggressive and focused on penetration. there’s no eroticism to it. it’s crass and disgusting.

      there’s something to putting on a 90s skinemax film and seeing hot milfs wearing sexy, satin nighties tenderly riding men on a real bed in a real bedroom, instead of watching giant, unearthly cocks penetrating gaping vaginas in extreme close-up.

      what a boneheaded take out of the OP.

      there’s a HUGE difference between what porn is selling and what turns you on.

          The point of the post and the reason for calling the guy a creep (I say guy because we’re definitely dealing with a male here) is because he wants a movie that is not designed to be pornography to have elements that would be better placed in a pornographic movie. You are inserting a degree of kink shaming into the post that doesn’t actually exist. Watching pornography and having a healthy attitude about sex is different from wanting to sexualize a story that is not trying to be sexual. That is creepy.

          Edit: deleted unnecessary sentence

            Again, I’m not defending this particular guy - I’m criticizing the response, which is an attitude that’s prevelant today, especially amongst the youth. A lot of people hate on sex/nudity of any form in mainstream art, and their argument is generally “just go watch porn you creeps”.

            Maybe Supergirl specifically shouldn’t be sexualized (even though she’s sexualized in most of the source material I remember), but if so, let’s come up with a better reason than “a containment genre exists for sex, and if you want to see it escape that box then you’re a degenerate!”.

        the actress is probably 35, who cares who the character is aimed at. it’s normal for men to see an attractive woman and be like ‘wow she’s attractive.’

        you’re pathologizing normal thinking and probably feeling incredibly satisfied with your lame response because you used the word ‘teenage’ and nobody would dare to cross swords.

        grow up.

        why is her outfit ‘sexualizing’ anyway?

        even if her outfit didn’t suggest ‘panties’ it’d still be sexy because it accentuates her form.

    What we got: henry cavill in the normal superman outfit

    Not pictured: an AI rendering of the above, because do we really need to spend resources on that?

    This is my exact stance. I want my porn separate from my non-porn.

    People that just have badonkulous jiggle physics blasting while they play a normal game baffle me.

      I get you but also I feel like this is an unrealized pushback to just how sanitized a lot of mainstream culture has become. I feel like a lot of media up until about the 2010s give or take had a lot of sexual elements without being porn outright and while not necessarily being erotic, it really does feel like a weird bit of cultural puritanism especially given how hot a lot of actors are.

      In summary a lot of things are hot but basically nothing is sexy and it’s weird.

      I’m like this about food.

      I like my candy and food to be separate. All this candy-masquerading-as-food, like sweetened yogurt and cranberry sauce, can get bent.

        If your cranberry sauce is that sweet it has too much sugar in it. It should be sharp and sexy, not sweet and not-as-sexy-yet-more-conventially-appealing

      There’s probably something from the 90s/early 00s with her dressed like that. Comics were really ramping it up for a while there. Not that teenager me was complaining.

    i like it when my pornography creeps up in non-porn places, but that’s because my crippling addiction to porn has made porn boring

    recently i even jerked off to a rubik’s cube because it was the least porn thing i could think of

    that slutty-ass cube

    This isn’t a power girl movie and the actress playing supergirl is nowhere near buxom enough to play her even if it were one. Supergirl’s outfit has never looked like the left.

      In much of her history, she’s also quite young. Young enough to live in an orphanage in the golden age before getting foster/adoptive parents. Sometimes she’s an adult in the 20-24ish range. But it seems like every time the canon gets reset for her she’s canonically 16 again. And as such she’s almost always dressed pretty reasonably by Superheroine standards.

      She almost always wears a skirt and briefs, if not shorts, tights, pants or full legged unitard. Don’t know that she has ever been depicted as particularly busty.

      In fact, it is a running gag that her Earth 2 counterpart, Powergirl, is famously quite busty and confident his her body (boob window and all), particularly in comparison to Supergirl.

      For comparison sake:
