Welcome to the main discussion thread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe! This pinned post is here to establish some basic guidelines. All of the Media Forum rules
still apply.
- This thread is for talking about the live-action films, TV shows, animated works, and related content that use the Marvel brand, currently owned by Disney.
- While mild digressions are okay, discussion of the comic books should go in this thread
. Extended digressions may be thumped as off-topic.
- Spoilers for new releases should not be discussed without spoiler tagging for at least two weeks. Rather, each title should have a dedicated thread where that sort of conversation is held. We can mention new releases in a general sense, but please be courteous to people who don't want to be spoiled.
If you're posting tagged spoilers, make sure that the film or series is clearly identified outside the spoiler tagging. People need to know what will be spoiled before they choose to read the post.

I have also realized this fact
A misguided adaptation of the gold and black boob cups and arrow pointed at crotch Wasp outfit
Because those boob cups were shaped like spider man eyes instead of testes
Forever liveblogging the AvengersI mean the obsession that comics/films/TV shows/etc have with putting boob cups/armor on their female costumes has always been rather irritating imo. It looks stupid and serves no purpose. And from what I've heard, armor like that would be rather uncomfortable, and at times perhaps even flat-out dangerous, to wear.
But I've also kind of accepted that they're just not going to stop doing this. I mean even the freaking Wonder Woman movie did it with Diana and the Amazon's armor. It's like they think that you'll forget that women have breasts if they don't draw attention to them in the outfits.
It's part of why Captain Phasma's armor from Star Wars was so refreshing imo.
I don't mind in this specific case because it is not supposed to be armour. With armour it would be indeed dangerous to have boobs, because they would lead the sharp weapons away from the fleshy, protective part of the body right to the not so fleshy part which you don't want to get hid. The purpose of an armour is actually to lead the weapons away from exactly that area.
In this case, though, we are talking about a suit which is supposed to cover the body tightly while also not being particularly stretchy. Granted, they could have put the lines elsewhere.
I get that. It's more just a passing "oh of course her outfit has to have boob cups as well" thing for me. It's a lot less egregious here than in other places and it's a good design overall. But It'd be nice if they could, you know, not do that at all in the future.
It's less about this film specifically and more it being a recurring trend across films/TV/comics/etc as a whole that makes it irritating imo.
I'm a little dismayed that there was no pun about Coulson successfully privatizing world pieces.
EDIT: Also, Coulson's not wrong about having way more screentime, either. There have been 95 episodes of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. thus far. Estimating 50 minutes to an episode, that comes out to 4,750 minutes of S.H.I.E.L.D.
At two and a half hours per film, the show's had the equivalent of 31.7 movies.

My Tumblr. Currently side-by-side liveblogging Digimon Adventure, sub vs dub.

Huh. Ghost is right next to them.
