Which is your favourite Black Panther design?

[quiet pulsar]

Both of them. But i could only pick one so...

[lavish estuary]

Tbh i like the fortnite design better then both of theses
but i like the fur and more simple design on the comic one

[fast hearth]

The Fortnite design is kinda peak

[lavish estuary]

Very Peak Its mixes both of them

[frosty sphinx]

i mean in general i prefer fabric to nanotech
it's weird but somehow comic costumes tend to seem more tangible than mcu ones

[uneven trench]

Comics better

[fading thicket]

i like the gold design on her wakanda forever suit! it really brings the costume out and its a good contrast. gold and black look good together too, and it's as if she's honoring her brother but still having her own touch to it. i think the gold also represents her dignity and loyalty to her brother

[hexed sluice]

I need to see the comic design in "motion" before I choose

[full zinc]

I chose the one from Wakanda Forever since I like the design of her suit more, and I like the colour combinations also

[gritty acorn]

havent read the comic but is black panther a girl in comics?

[stuck portal]

both are at equal votes

ill have to decide the fate

27-27

whom should i vote

comic ones are hotter so

comic

[upbeat remnant]

I totally agree

[full zinc]

Thanks, love the pfp btw

[upbeat remnant]

I could say the same to yours 😌

[full zinc]

Thanks!

[upbeat remnant]

Ah dw, it’s my glorious purpose to say it

[rustic tartan]

comics looks like a sexualised female batman, i like the unique mcu design with all the gold lines and dots

[chrome grail]

Looks better

[candid holly]

He’s cool..

[devout vapor]

At some point, and she’s a girl in the movies too (it’s Shuri, both in the MCU and in the comics)

[half prairie]

holy shit 2 lokis

[steady fjord]

i much agree with this

[upbeat remnant]

That’s what she said

Insert three Spiderman point gif

[full zinc]

Yeahhh

[last atlas]

Lowkey

The Fortnite design

[rustic tartan]

it’s cool

but i prefer mcu design

[hexed sluice]

I actually agree

[formal oasis]

Agreed

[amber citrus]

Comics look too sexualized

I like mcu it’s more practical

[last atlas]

Yeah that's one thing I wish got changed about the comics. Like, they even heavily sexualize Magik, who's backstory is literally an allegory for child trafficking

That one really bothers me, being the character's self-proclaimed biggest fan

[tiny tide]

Agreed

[amber citrus]

They think it will attract more fans for some reason

“Let’s just sexualize her for sales”

[worn zephyr]

Literally tied. Wow.

[worn zephyr]

Oooh, I like this one

All I’d add more is the fur

[fleet acorn]

It looks better

Then just the necklace

[lucid stump]

I don’t like how sexualised the comic suit looks

[vale grotto]

i like the mcu suit better, with all the gold detailing and stuff

[candid lintel]

One of the few cases where the MCU feels more unique in terms of costume design

[wooden mountain]

I think both are pretty cool. But the MCU once has something the comic design doesn’t. Maybe because it does look like something a King/Queen would use

[flint sail]

I like both, but the comics one is too sexualized

[last atlas]

What's crazy about doing that for Magik especially, other than what I already mentioned, is that she's one of the few more recently popular characters that is interesting enough to not need it at all

[eternal nexus]

dont like either

dont like black panther

[flint sail]

no character needs to be sexualized for that matter

[last atlas]

Yeah

Agreed

It makes me most annoyed when it's Magik though

[flint sail]

i never got the sense Magik was particularly 'sexy' either

[last atlas]

It feels like she really doesn't care about what others say or think about her.

Contrary to what some people will claim, she has never shown any real interest in having a relationship of any kind, which I think is best for her character. So that's another reason I don't like how sexualized she is sometimes.

[scenic crag]

Ngl.
U right I do like that design better.
The fire in the arms above the gloves and the purple and gold throughout the suit just hits hard

As for the poll I prefer mcu bc it’s just cooler overall, and the comic one just looks like a skintight black suit with no design at all

[last atlas]

Yeah that's the one I voted for in the poll

(The MCU one I mean)

[wicked compass]

It looks more like a black panther

[worn zephyr]

I mean… Shuri isn’t that type of character but there are characters who should

[flint sail]

no I don't think any character should be sexualized. It's creepy

[flint sail]

haha it's not like these comic book relationships ever last to begin with

[worn zephyr]

What if it’s an important part of their character or skillset?

[flint sail]

not sure which comics has that. but considering most of it is written in the male gaze i'm not really comfortable with it

[worn zephyr]

Male characters get sexualized too

And I’m fine with both as long as there’s they serve a purpose

[flint summit]

thank you for saying this. it’s weird and wrong.

[flint sail]

i guess we can disagree there. But men aren't sexualized in the same way

i'm not against characters being sexy, but it's a fine line

[flint sail]

thanks. I just generally like these characers to look more average and less objectified

[flint summit]

i’m just bored of the over sexualization of women in media, not just comics

[flint sail]

me too

i feel like it's slowly decreasing over time

but not necessarily enough

[last atlas]

I'm cool with it for characters like Black Cat where that's an important part of their character.

Because that's ultimately the cause of her interesting dynamic with Spider-Man

But generally I find the sexualization to be egregious. For both male and female characters, but more commonly for female characters.

[agile creek]

I don't collect comic books,anymore. I just think,the movie design is alot cooler.

[full zinc]

i liked mcu,it depends on ppl who vote A

[lavish matrix]

the comics one is oversexualised.

the mcu one is just way better

and so is the forkknife one

im unlocking her tomorrow

[worn zephyr]

I like the fur on the comics

And the gold on the mcu

[lavish matrix]

yeah so do i but the fortnite one has fur but has the wakanda forever gold

so play fortnite

hhe

[worn zephyr]

I meant the fur on the shoulders

[lavish matrix]

i see

[worn zephyr]

fortnite’s are on the gloves

which is like too

i didnt vote tho cuz i like them all

[lavish matrix]

and the cape

[worn zephyr]

The cape #1283109737138884700 message?

[lavish matrix]

yeah the cape has fur

[worn zephyr]

I’m sorry but, what cape?

[lavish matrix]

The third item from the left

Is the cape

It has fur

https://fortnite.fandom.com/wiki/Shuri's_Cloak

@worn zephyr hope that answers your question

[scenic crag]

This is how she looks with the cape on

[worn zephyr]

Ahhh alright thanks!

[flint sail]

even Black Cat annoys me. It comes off too much like some stereotypical male fantasy

[last atlas]

I never really thought so tbh

She's basically just Catwoman but for Marvel

[lime kelp]

Black cats only existence is to make Spiderman h0rny

[full zinc]

comicbook one is bad asf

high key

[full zinc]

yeah thats why comics are great

male superheroes had huge ass muscles

and female heroes were oversexualised

a superhero shouldn't be ugly

it makes them seem powerful

or godly

also its a good role model for kids

being attractive is just as achievable as being a good, heroic person

why teach kids that being unnatractive is good?

its not like the kids see superheroes and say they're sexualized

they just see them as cool asf

like bruh superheroes should NOT be ugly

[last atlas]

No one's saying superheroes should be ugly, we're saying they are sexualized too much

[full zinc]

whats wrong with sex

is sex appeal bad

[full zinc]

i think as long as a character is not made only to be eye candy that being sexualized is fine

like emma frost or something

[last atlas]

A lot of sexualized characters should not be sexualized. Like Magik. She's a symbol of child trafficking, to sexualize her as much as they do is literally just creepy.

[full zinc]

idk

its just part of comic books

[flint sail]

Catwoman is sometimes sexualized too. I'd be fine with Black Cat being more of a foil for Spider-Man instead of a love interest

[flint sail]

why'd you jump straight to ugly?

[flint sail]

that's ridiculous

[flint sail]

i'd say she's often used that way

[full zinc]

The comic one looks hot

She hella fit

[flint sail]

tha's most comic book women

i for one would like to see a normal looking woman

[full zinc]

In comics?

Or irl 😭

[flint sail]

in the comics

[full zinc]

Idk I like baddies in my comics

[flint sail]

i don't really care for it

i just want normal, average people in there

a little bulked up ofc

but not execessively stylized

i care more about their personalities

[full zinc]

Yeah true

[flint sail]

ya like I don't necessarily like ugly art but I don't need them to ever be 'hot

[full zinc]

anyone can get themselves to like an 8/10 with good self care

anything higher is genetics

but inspiring people to be more attractive is good i think

that doesn't mean shaming someone for not being "attractive"

all humans are attractive anyway

[flint sail]

bro that's like the opposite of what you were saying

all these people are 'attracitve' in a very speicific, stereotypical way

[full zinc]

im not saying ugly, i just think that why not make a superhero attractive? they're supposed to be "better" versions of humans anyway why cant they be more attractive

[flint sail]

no one can magically look like that with just some work

[flint sail]

they'r enot supposed to be, and you just said all humans are attractive anwyays so why would you then call people ugly

[full zinc]

yeah and nobody can be the hulk

[flint sail]

it doesn't make sense

[full zinc]

but it teaches kids that being strong is important

[flint sail]

because he's a superhero. super powers aren't realted to being powerful

[flint sail]

they're not really there to teach kids anything

[full zinc]

he could look 1000% smaller and just be as strong

[full zinc]

exactly, so why cant they be oversexualized?

[flint sail]

and if it were about teaching kids anything, the idea that violence is the solution to crime is a terrible lesson for kids

[flint sail]

not all adults like that either

[flint sail]

ya that's my point

[full zinc]

are comic books supposed to be for all adults?

its fictional

they can be whatever the writer wants

and that shouldn't offend anybody

[flint sail]

i'm not sure you're getting it

not liking doesn't equal being offended

by that logic you'r eoffended by 'ugly' people

[full zinc]

im saying that does everyone have to like them?

[flint sail]

no one's saying that

that's not the point

i'm saying i don't want every superhero body type to basically be the same

[full zinc]

uhhhh women

that makes sense

[flint sail]

ya

[full zinc]

she’s hot

[flint sail]

but i think a historically male centered genre has trouble fairly depicting women

i'm more interested in their personalities than some rigid view of beauty

[full zinc]

i just think that a superhero is supposed to be a "super" human why can't their looks be unrealisticly hot if they're "super"

it doesn't normalize looking like that

it just says heres a super powered woman and shes hot

[flint sail]

super human meaning super power. looks, imo, aren't really relevant. I'm here to see people use their powers, not be models

[full zinc]

why cant they be both?

[flint sail]

because I don't want to see models

[full zinc]

why not

[flint sail]

i want to see normal, regular people with powers

because i think those standards are stupid and arbitrary

[full zinc]

normal regular people aren't cool

[flint sail]

they're cool if they have powers/skills

[full zinc]

the point of comics is that they're very different

[flint sail]

ok but not every single thing is different. by that logic i'd just read about a bunch of weirld looking aliens

[full zinc]

also being attractive and looking more friendly makes a hero seem more like a hero

[flint sail]

that's ridiculous. Attractiveness isn't heroism

no on'es more heroic because they conform to one designated view of 'looking better'

especially if they mostly end up looking the same

[full zinc]

thats not what i meant

it doesnt change how heroic they are

idk bro i would prefer my superheroes to be bad asf then to be normal people

that doesn't mean i dont want superheros to be normal

but i want superheroes to feel a little out-of-thisworldly

[flint sail]

for me, having superpowers and costumes is the out of worldliness

[full zinc]

so their appearance doesn't matter?

[flint sail]

visiting other planets and dimensions and all that

not to me

[full zinc]

bruh

like the looks matter

[flint sail]

i don't care about them being modelesque

they don't matter to me

[full zinc]

what would dr strange be if he was a teenager

or looked like one

he would look weird asf

[flint sail]

what?

ngl Strange already looks goofy

[full zinc]

nah he looks sick

well the multiverse of madness one does

[flint sail]

idk i love Strange as a characger but he's not my idea of 'attractive' to begin with

[full zinc]

well idk if hes attractive

but he looks cool

[flint sail]

cool, yeah

[coral garnet]

I'm sorry WHAT

[flint sail]

It's the Grey hair. He looks like halfway between Reed & Tony

[coral garnet]

Eh

But in universe he's supposed to be attractive

Bro got all sorts of extra dimensional baddies on his cape.

[flint sail]

Supposed to be don't mean is

[coral garnet]

[flint sail]

By that I mean: he maybe be intended to be attractive but that doesn't mean he is.

Tbh he looks normal to me

[coral garnet]

I mean... Peter also looks normal to me put...

The look to the readers heavily depends on the artstyle, he once had a full white hair with an eye patch and still attracted like... 3 different love interests.

[flint sail]

well, looks aren't the only thing to matter to characters

but tbh Strange doesn't seem like the romantic type to me

and tbh the whole 'attracting a lot of women' harem-anime bs borders on Gary Stu to me, loathe as I am to use that term

[coral garnet]

He isn't, he's the hor ny type

But he's romantic to Clea, his first love and wife.

[flint sail]

Really? Hmmm
