Her shorts bother me.

[Violen]

It allways deeply offends me when feminine features are replaced with masculine ones.

I know i have stronger feeling about this then most, and that alot of people these days don't care about the way they look/consider shorts, Military uniforms etc to be unisex. I'm not here to say your wrong. I would just like it on record that as someone that would otherwise love this game, her story and her character... The shorts were enough to dissuade me from a purchase. Maybe this makes me petty, But nonetheless It got under my skin enough.

Blame Kirkman he is on a self censorship mindset since Invincible got its adaptation to a point he even went on asking people to forgive him for his writing lol

i honestly think a skirt over shorts would have looked really cool, like a swimdress with briefs or boyshorts and a short skirt over it. google it. or like a tennis skort.
but don't blame the video game devs, that's her design from the tv show.

ya know who's costume really bugged me, for the last 30 years was Plastic Man. i always hated his costume.
the hanna barbera version had him in bikini briefs, but more modern version put him in bicycle shorts, but the part that always drove me nuts was in his chest area, the extreme cleavage, barely held together by crisscrossing strings, like wtf, why does he have cleavage and why is it barely held togehlike that?
combined with, i think, not sure, i think that's not even clothes, i think he might "form" the costume out of his own body to look like clothes, so he's actually naked, but i guess it depends on what version of the comics you read.


i digress, back to her.
i think they may have been going for a more "realism" feel with the characters in that universe, alongside with the other amazon superhero series "The Boys" and it does bug me a little that her costume looks like it doesn't really fit her perfectly, which in real life, nobody's clothes fit perfectly, unless they have a supermodel body. . but then, she controls matter at the atomic level and she formed that costume out of the atoms around her, so she should be able to make it look like anything she wants and have it fit perfectly every time.
also, she's a teenage girl and she doesn't want to be sexualized. and it shows in her character she hats frilly feminine things. there was a spin-off episode shoowing her backstory and when she was first discovered how to use her powers, one of her relatives gave her a dress as a gift and itmlooked like so,ething a lolita might wear and she hated it and used her powers to alter it into something else she would prefer to wear

Isn't it a body suit? looks like a complete bodycon dress in the screenshots. looks fine imo.

[Icedfate]

it's clothing, fabric all right. she created it out of the ambient protons and electrons in her environment, forming the matter with her powers.


edit, a thought occurs. i know of a website call coquetry clothing that makes clothes out of spandex fabrics, really nice good quality stuff. made in the USA, not overseas not in some sweatshop. which is ironic since this is an Amazon Priime character. . anyway, that website makes like, shorts and tops and skater dresses and leggings and that have like 50 different fabrics to choose from. you could get it all custom made and i bet one could have them make this costume and it would look good. . .
or even use my idea of doing a skater dress with the shorts underneath it.

So does that mean if she loses her powers she also loses her clothes

no, because she doesn't have to maintain her concentration. she just takes protons and electrons and reforms them into matter. once it's formed, it's stable.
at least, that's how i think her powers work. i dunno. i watched season 1 of invincible and the spinoff of her backstory. and that's it.

I see ok then

[Icedfate]

after thinking about it, i just realized, they bother me too, but not because of the style, rather the color scheme she chose. the lighter pinkish on the bottoms clashing with the darker pink on the top is an ugly combo in my opinion.
not that i don't like pink, it's just that shade of pink on the bottoms. way too close to flesh color.

It's just shorts

its not "just shorts", its symbolic language. if you care about stories, you should care about becoming familiar with that.

search: semiotics, stereotypes, archetypes; not only colors but fashion itself communicates personality traits and attitudes. aesthetics is "greater than" cosmetics. the clothes of a character matter as much as their proportions, in relation to whatever they are supposed to be.

ie, you could create an obese gladiator, but it would only work as a "comic relief" character, because no one reasonable would expect that to be an agile character, so if hes allowed to survive, it would be thanks to extreme positive luck; a bad character design would try to validate obesity as inconsequential, because it would tell the audience that obesity doesnt create health issues and serious risks (but if the character design includes them, and through some "magic" somehow counteracts them, then it could still work as a "well designed"). the quijote is a character like that, and thats what makes him great: is usually portrayed as an old weak looking man, with great dreams and brave to chase them, even if his end is tragic, and his companion-sidekick "takes the torch".

poor and mediocre writers and creators dont care about that: they are frequently superfluous, and wont care to think much about design. their level of depth is usually and literally "skin deep". poor readers validate poor writers.

thats why they ("activist types") usually opt to try to hijack stories made by others rather than create their own, so they may claim they were part of something bigger they actually never care about besides an equally superfluous ideology, which if they analysed properly, they would reject.

They do look a bit weird. but modern superheroes are very odd these days.

What, the skin tight pink body suit wasn't feminine enough?
The fact the suit on her legs wasn't 4 inches higher is what stopped you from playing a game?
