Suggestion: Fire Is Masculine

Go To

IMO, I'm not really convinced on the current, since I can't really tell the fire is a key trait of Zuko. Plus, the swords are a bit hard to see, so the "masculine" part is a bit iffy. In terms of ideas, Endeavor from My Hero Academia came to mind, so that could be somewhere to start.

If all else fails, use fire.

Agreeing on 1.3. It helps that the character has a beard of fire, as beards are also often a shorthand for masculinity.

Wouldn't comparing them with a female character from the work make more sense?

[up]I don't see the need of a comparison. All we need is a guy using fire and 1.3. gets it across just fine.

Doubting his masculinity is a fruitless endeavor.

[up][up]That pun only works if you know the character. Out of context, readers would just wonder why it's potholed to Pun.

I like the pun, but I think it could be made more apparent:

  • Doubting Endeavor's masculinity is a fruitless endeavor.
  • Doubting his masculinity is a fruitless Endeavor.
