There was about 30 posts below that with ladies high-fiving themselves about, "Yeah! F*** that designer, the one on the left that was designed by a woman is way better!"

It's the SAME DESIGNER, the SAME MAN! It's the SAME MOVIE!
God, I HATE Fake Feminists.

go virtue signal somewhere else. it's so damn tiring reading posts like that these days. especially when they probably KNOW what you are pointing out to them, but using the un informed to rile up their emotions with their 'fake news' post.

Vegita-san really should get banned for his anti-women crusade. It's gone from being mildly ignorable to just plain sad. Especially given he does the same thing in countless threads.

But Amazons went into battle with their right breast exposed, if anything the Justice League take on the Amazons is more accurate to history albeit giving them a more conservative war costume.

Wait.... so back in the day Amazons ran into battle with their right boob bouncing around exposed? That just sounds.... weird... and a hell of a weak point.

Yeah, screw that until maybe a 3rd sequel (LMAO shyeah right). If they want to do the evil Justice League route just use Bane, Bizzaro, Captain Cold, Cheetah, Black Manta and whoever Cyborg's rival is supposed to be.

No, they went into battle with the LEFT breast CUT OFF. Mythological Amazons were mainly archers, and would cut off the left breast to make it easier to shoot a bow. The idea was that it got in the way, so they removed it. Having practiced archery myself, I can attest to the fact that the breast on the opposite side from which you hold the bow certainly CAN get in the way when one releases the string. It is quite painful when that happens.... (I'm a lefty so it would be the right side for me.)

So.... after all is said and done, and assuming they survived battle.... they're stuck with only one boob... or do they cut the other one off to match?

I have no basis of knowledge but... couldn't you, like, hold the bow out a little further to compensate?

You're already holding it out farther to accomodate that extra mass than a man would to begin with. Yes, one can hold it even furhter, but it then makes aiming much more problematic. Because then you are holding the bowstring to the side rather than in your line of sight. Women are at a natural disadvantage with aiming because- boobs. So I can totally understand why they supposedly did that.

The myth was that they burned off their right breast as kids but in depictions in murals and statues you could clearly see that it wasn't the case.

That's call artistic license. Greek sculptors didn't want to show boobless women- it wasn't "asthetically pleasing".... ;-P

I'm a little late to the party on this one, but given that this is a schlocky fantasy film and not a historical drama, I kind of like the design on the right a little better.

To be honest, you don't see a lot of female characters with rippling abs in mainstream films, since muscularity is often considered to be a more masculine visual trait.

It would be interesting if there were rival/warring Amazon tribes, like in some iterations of the comics. Maybe that's why they're dressed differently?

It DOES look like her. But that makes zero sense.

So the post-credits scene is basically a remake of the first MCU post-credits scene but for the bad guys? And somehow this will be a threat bigger than Darkseid?

That's the problem with starting with end-game DCU but I guess it's fine they started with end game DCU since it seems to be ending.


The Amazon controversy also reached my timeline on twitter, but it seems their echo chamber keeps getting smaller, most people aren't taking their BS anymore. I was surprised.
