    Yes it's unfortunate. I'm not used to people always assuming the absolute worst interpretation of things. Not that I'm pretending to be an innocent victim either. A lot of the people here are just way more serious than I'm accustomed to.

    I am fully happy to make jokes

    I am pretty done making jokes about the mistreatment and shitty depiction of women in popular media

    The better question is exactly what type of training does one need to be Batman's wife?

    Well that's great for you, I sincerely mean that. Not being as militant doesn't suddenly give tacit approval though. I also don't ever see anyone making those kinds of joke either (on this board)

    While the more campy versions of batman avoid this, I think a lot of modern versions are certifiably insane at worst and mentally crippled and dysfunctional at best. His wife would have to be equally so.

    realtalk there could actually be some degree of success in a show like this

    like i am saving that picture because it is a perfect example of how Magik should be drawn

    it's one thing when you draw a character like Emma Frost all sexed up. Sexuality is like, an intrinsic part of Frost's character and she plays it up big time and generally speaking outside of diamond form it's not like she goes about punching people n shit.

    But Magik is a demon-fightin' bad-ass with a fuck-off big sword and she doesn't really use sexuality as part of her character in any significant way so why on Earth does she get drawn like some Russian supermodel?

    oh because dumb sexist bullshit, I guess?

    and it's like naw, even if a character has an outfit that shows some skin, they don't need boob socks or cleavage windows. Magik has superpowers n shit so I'm fine with the fact that she runs into battle with her midriff exposed, fine whatever. At the same time that exposed midriff should be buff as fuck because she's a warrior. That's her deal. I really appreciate that Mike drew her that way, and more dudes at Marvel and DC gotta fuckin' get on board with that shit.

    There are some areas where comic artists are getting better about this. All the art of New Thor I have seen thus far has shown her to be appropriately swole for a Mjolnir-swingin' heir to the name, for example, and her costume seems well-designed

    but yeah, definitely the right kind of thing, not just for that character in particular but for female superheroes in general

    Is there any practical justification whatsoever for a cleavage window?

    Cleavage gets sweaty, probably?

    Don't know why that got posted twice.

    But seeing the current Magik is yet another reminder about how out of touch I am with X-Men. Last I checked she was a little girl...who also died.

    Yeah, she came back in 2009. She was really interesting in the 2009 New Mutants series and Gillen's Uncanny run. Bendis can't write her for beans, though.

    Nah, I'm not gonna fill out an imaginary questionnaire.

    I just think it's kinda strange that you have no idea who'd be into women who are great at martial arts.

    I mean, Kunoichi exists. That show's more about general athleticism and gymnastics, but still.
