I Read That Appearance For Appearance The Human Torch Was Damsel'd More Than Any Other Hero In The Original

Interestingly, my impression from my female Clan Elders was always that the makeup and heels were extremely empowering for the ladies, even if they were probably there bc of dudes watching. The reaction was apparently like 'we can look good AND be taken seriously professionally? Hot damn, alright, time to start protesting those draconian puritanical office dress codes. Fellas just can't control themselves, you say? Well if William Shatner can manage...'👀

I've seen a lot of people claim that TOS is sexist because the women have to wear heels and a lot of makeup. Obviously, TOS is sexist in some ways but I think it's silly to use this as evidence. The men wear heels and a lot of makeup too.

Some examples:

It seems like it's standard for Romulan men to wear eyeshadow.

Evil Kirk wore a ton of eyeliner. He's shown putting on concealer/foundation. I feel like this could be used as evidence that the men wore makeup in universe and it wasn't just for filming purposes.

Kirk's heels:

Dick Grayson: so as you can see I definitely win the 'stupidest kidnapping' competition by virtue of having been abducted by a literal bird-brain :D

Other Batkids: HOW SMALL were you when you started crtimefighting?!?!

My favorite genre of image is plushies getting grabbed by hawks

Re-blogging not just for the hot take, but also for that terrible (wonderful) pun

I'm totally stealing 'literary hurts' to substitute for 'literally hurts' when it comes to classic literature fuckery

I keep forgetting how absolutely cringe Fitzwilliam Darcy is before his first proposal...🤣

The guy was so clueless it literary hurts

Every so often you Nat20 that check so hard that all who hear of it reap the rewards

So does the guy know you're white-knighting for him on social media? Seriously tho chillax. I thought we were doing a bit? You know, since like I said earlier Spider-Man started off as literally just a masked wrestler...and that his particular level of wisecracking can only be obtained by a certified doofus. (As an out of character aside I'm not really sure how this level of role-playing works, I'm kind of new to Tumblr. Am I not supposed to acknowledge the bit? Was it rude to interact back? Sorry if I'm messing up your RP I honestly don't know the rules)

Spider-Man's Canon Crypidization

As much as I love how Batman went from respected lawman to urban legend, I feel people fail to appreciate the Marvel equivalent. Peter Parker's alterego went from 'literally a wrestler with a gimmick' to 'he might maybe have once been human? We hope?!' in the eyes of the average civillian/mook.

Like his origin is clearly human, he's a tv performer and it's understood that his webbing is a gadget he came up with for the schtick. Then a little later when the Xmen become more popular and have more of an effect on the Marvelverse, you get the whole 'mutant scum' angle. But it eventually becomes clear that no, whatever this guy is, 'typical mutant' ain't it. (The alien suit debacle does not help with this at all.)

By the mid 80s Spider-Man is basically a cryptid, helped along by how the choreography and art style changed enough to show him moving in a way that is very inhuman, striking from the shadows, gravity optional. There's a whole arc where he adventures overseas and just straight up passes for a supernatural being so as not to compromise his secret id.

Then whenever anybody interacts with him long enough for him to start quipping they realize he's just a huge dork. Like, you know the inhumanly strong man-shaped shadow that can tell you pointed a gun at him from two blocks away without looking? He's going to give you a punny nickname while tying you up with a semi organic compound hitherto unknown to science. It's so funny.

Hide a tazer in his hair; there's enough of it that no one could possibly discover it

with the concerning amount of times Mokuba is getting kidnapped by various people, he should really go for some self defense classes

Somehow the first time I've seen memes about this incredibly meme-able book.

it's bad image friday. when i post bad images (i know he doesn't actually say that btw)

I hope you realize I can never take that backstory 100% seriously again, how dare you?! (this is great btw, and the art is also fantastic)

I was watching Tiger and Bunny so here are some silly drawings! (almost done watching the second season i really like this show!)

Hope you enjoy, and have an AWESOME day!!

I did this to my players, actually. Got a custom printed and painted 3D model and everything. The fight with the mighty Honkdra saw not just a single ship, but an entire dock district go down in flames. Peace was never even a consideration.

Goose hydra. Peace will never be an option

I haven't made a fandom powerpoint in about twenty years, but listening to Cabin Pressure again awoke something in me.
