What makes me laugh is that they usually say they are doing this to not be sexist yet all the women I know that have an opinion on the costume want the classic Linda Carter costume. They think it s dumb to change it.
1) Are these women comic readers or just women that know 'of' Wonder Woman
2) Would these same women dress that way at a Con
3) Would these women want their daughter dressing that way at a Con
4) Would you want YOUR daughter dressing that way at a Con
And seriously and not being combative, just wondering, do you feel the same about other female characters that wear pants? Should they not (IE Captain Marvel's new look)
And by the way, I have no issues with the skirt or the 'showing of skin' but the issue is that Wonder Woman is THE female character for a company and there are tons of little girls that can't 'pretend' to be her or dress like her because of the bathing suit aspect. Why would you (being a company, not 'you' as in Jeff
) ... why would you want to limit the amount of females that can/will/want to dress/promote your character, when just a simple change can solve the issue.
Look at how many women, and more importantly; girls are dressing as Carol Danvers now (a companies "B" list character) compared to those dressing as Wonder Woman (a companies most recognizable female character)
Again, the leather skirt is not bad, and if done correctly could really tie in the Amazon aspect as well as the strength of the character, but that riding up the ass bathing suit has to go.
Hell, just look at Cambell's rendition. It looks really good for a comic (although he being him still has to show as much damn skin as possible
) but would you want your little girl to dress
THIS way? Isn't this just as bad as the Power Woman boob window? (Which I also like in the comics
)
I mean lower that skirt a little ... no, a little more ... keep going ... okay, there!
And at least put some damn straps on that damn bustier to make it not look like she was shopping at Fredericks and I think there is something here. Because right now, there isn't too much difference from this ...
and this ...
or is this a better comparison?
EDIT -
And once again I look back at this and ... I just want to make sure you know, Jeff, that I am not bashing you for your opinion. I think we are not that far apart in our thinking and I am scared I went a little too "Perry" with my comments.
Please know that I am not knocking you for what you think or feel, again, I like the Boob Window
but more curious to what you think, not WHY you think it.
