Jessica Chastain States The Problem With Female Superheroes

She does have a good point and hopefully those will be addressed when Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel arrive on the big screen.

Now lets get her involved in a CBM, she's would be a good pick for either Mera or Medusa

That is how @Gusto feels.......... he believes that members like @blackandyellow really sexualized him due to his outfits!!!!!

@mexicansuperman

You look pretty tonight!!!!!!!

@mexicanSuperman

LMAO! Hey I look good in red!!!!!!!!

@ComicsBornAndBred


You and me both!

She makes a good point. I think Marvel is addressing this issue with Jessica Jones.

I would love her to be in the MCU. Maybe Medusa...?

Thing is...the movies she mentioned...aren't good.

And it isn't cause of their wardrobe, Elektra is wearing pants, and a full top in her movie, as where in the comics, she wears assless bottoms, and sash covering her front and back, and ribbons tied on her legs and arms.

Aoen Flux, another horrid movie, failed cause....it's a horrid movie? As skin tight as the outfit is, it covers her up and isn't as form fitting as even Black Widow's is at times in movies.


Alien on the other hand...



But in any case, you give us a good movie, that represents a character well, and audiences will follow that.

That could also be seen as the problem with male superhero movies.

Thinking - It's good for the brain.

she is a very sexy woman but she’s not wearing a lot of make-up. She’s in a T-shirt and jeans. What’s sexy about her is how capable she is.

This is pretty interesting conversation, Chastain does have point. Some of the worst costumes in movie history include Catwoman in Catwoman, Electra in Electra, and Barbra in Batman and Robin, and it is deeply ironic that the studios thought these costumes would be selling points. If they had given more thought to selling the movie based on character and plot, they might have come up with movies that really sell. Of course, costume is only one issue, and the main problem with those movies was plot. As far as super girl is concerned, I doubt the costume was the main problem with the movie. The costume with pretty close to what Linda Lee Danvers wore in the late 1950s (she was wearing more than wonder woman). The problem was excessive camp, and a character that seemed to reflect 1950s sensibility. Then there was the movies budget which not really super sized. Of course, while fans disliked Catwoman's costume, it was probably not the major reason that movie failed. The movie had a really weak plot.

I believe Chastain is trying to get studios to think about what really draws fans to the movies, and she is adding something to dialog. Just hope studio executives don't think just fixing the hyper sexualization will get them movies that sell. There is a lot more to it.
