It takes a lot at any age. "Supplements" can get you there faster, but if you sit on your rear end shooting them up, you're not going to get any sort of definition like that.

Am I missing something? Because that just looks like a skinny old man's back. I mean, congrats for not being overweight, I guess, but there's nothing there to indicate he's any more or less in shape than the actor playing Namor.

If you look at how Deodato draws super heroes, he clearly thinks you aren't muscular unless you have veins bulging everywhere.

Well poo poo a man striding confidently forwards doesn't throw his shoulders back and flex his muscles as hard as he can? It's a still of a guy in motion on a sunny day you're not likely to get a ton of definition even if he's in great shape.

It just occurred to me that the Namor actor is at a disadvantage because of the Namor costume. In most action movies actors will prep for shirtless scenes, getting dehydrated to make sure they're as cut as possible. But that only works if it takes like a day to shoot the shirtless scene. You can't keep that up for the entire shoot, so if he's shirtless the whole time he's gonna be less cut than the other heroes.

Namor's actor is completely in shape too. He just doesn't have that Chris Evans/Hemsworth body. Which is good because those are not sustainable to have and it's good to normalize regular human bodies in film. Codependent Poster fucked around with this message at 23:50 on Aug 30, 2022 |

Also while “oh it’s superheroes and it doesn’t matter” pro swimmers usually have a wide shoulder/chest to waist ratio. I don’t think we’ve gotten a full front body shot of Tenoch Huerta yet but if the art is anything to go by, wow. Plus in live action I’m more apt to believe a wider body with whatever BS oxygen exchange needs the space for a respiratory system Gripweed posted:I've seen more horny posts about Alfred Molina than about Chris Evans. I think that guy might not have his finger on the pulse of what the audience wants.

I think one of the Eternals' actors talked about how all the crazy training and dehydration and such to look like that made him more miserable than he'd ever been. His wife said she liked him more when he had to gain weight for a role.

Rob McElhenney got really fat for a season of It's Always Sunny then got super loving ripped and said in interviews his wife (Kaitlin Olson) vastly preferred him when he was fat.

Christian Bale went from being super super underweight for The Machinist to working out to play Batman. I think he filmed those back to back (IMDb lists another movie in between). I've heard heavy lifters make fun of people who are ripped. You look strong, but aren't compared to the huge ones who can lift tons. Bodybuilders basically stop eating and actually get weaker for their contests as that makes their muscles pop out of their skin. Uthor fucked around with this message at 02:42 on Aug 31, 2022 |

I'm trying to think of any live action superhero, where the actor being completely ripped has ever made a positive difference to me. Perhaps Captain America should be in peak physical condition, but other than that I don't get any extra enjoyment out of it. Just as a Tom Cruise movie isn't actually better because he does his own stunts, it may actually make them worse.

He got so ripped but he's always in that thick costume that completely hides it. He even gets a dance scene where he easily could have been shirtless, but instead they put him in an even boxier than normal shirt! So not only does he not get to show off his body, he dances like a refrigerator being wheeled around on a furniture dolly. And he didn't want to do that scene at all because it establishes him as a Bollywood actor when Nanjiani is Pakistani! I don't know what he did to piss of Chloe Zhao, but I know he'll never do it again.

Apparently nobody asked him to get that jacked. That’s all him. They saw how hard he was going and said “Yo, you don’t need to be that ripped, Kingo’s not that kind of superhero” and Nanjiani just doubled down and got even swoler.

There's been a critical argument in circulation for the last few years that one of the major factors behind the MCU's market dominance is that a distinct effort has been made to serve the "female gaze." The first few phases of the MCU were relatively light on dynamic female protagonists, but it did have-- thetoughestbean posted:The scene in Captain America where he comes out of the syrum machine totally buff and the lady trembles as she goes to touch his pec is… --that. It seems to have worked, in that the MCU seems to have a higher overall female audience than one might otherwise expect.

Also if he was a little softer (not fat, just less lean) it would make Drax that much more insanely muscular in contrast.

He's a goofy childish slacker and also incredibly disciplined when it comes to diet and exercise? It is hard loving work being that lean and you don't get to eat garbage and Starlord the character would totally eat a ton of junk food. Yeah yeah surprise he's not actually all the way human but it's bad visual storytelling. The script says one thing, the visuals contradict it. I dunno, there's a very deliberate dissonance between him being a goofy slacker when he can afford to be and a lethally efficient space pirate when he has to be. Notice how all his weapons and fancy little gadgets are also in tip-top condition, even if his ship is a flying hovel.

Kiwi Farms was recently taken down after swatting politicians and other highly illegal poo poo. Ethan Van Sciver, a man who is almost 50, was a verified user on it, and would basically use it to dox his enemies. Now, he's trying to create a Comicsgate Forum where he can keep doing it/hurl racial slurs without persecution: https://twitter.com/EthanVanSciver/status/1566574501634215941?s=20&t=9YQdgtUMLkhcHvvEN3ufJA

While I was never as much of a piece of poo poo as EVS is, I was a really terrible person for a very long time. So from that position (and not from some internet tough guy mentality) I can firmly say that EVS is in dire need of a massive rear end kicking.
