Bleeding Cool's "Fanboy Rampage": CABLE Artist Wars with Blink Fans

[AcesX1X]

blink is literally pushing her chest out at whatever they are all staring at. it is obscene on its face, with or without male objectivity and artistic virility.

[Narasinha]

Wolverine doesn't need to be naked in these panels, but he is. You can also make an argument he's being objectified in these panels which clearly show Kitty and Jubilee being "marveled" at his suggested large penis. It's especially bad since those are suppose to be his daughter figures... smh Marvel.

Jean objectifying Gambit.

I can think of several more and it's not as far and between as some would believe.

Yeah, ok, but both those examples are obviously jokes, situation comedy. The Cable cover isn't a parody, it's (supposed to be) serious.

Ehh... Hello

Her boobs looks the same here, but different costume.


+ nobody say nothing about this one.

Pretty clickbaity, getting attention off the work of an artist putting his dues in on a new series. I mean it's really not a hill worth dying on. This one low cut, heavily styled outfit for a minor character. I don't remember outrage when selene wore worse, especially under Clayton Crain. It's really not worth harassing a guy trying to just do his work. The issue out now has some dynamite expression work.



Let the man live.

who do you imagine is "dying" on this hill in this case? the blink fans or the artist?

[Cloudman]

Malin dealt with his detractors well by not giving them an inch. The outfit is perfectly fine, and so are the big tits.

[Geek Mangacomic]

Ugh, Malin... He's talking about how men's bodies are "disrespected" in comics. I 100% agree. Look at these sexualized male characters.

[Wiccan]

I mean, if he really wants to prove that males are just as sexualized, he can always just have Cable showing his chest too!

[Vegan Daddy]

She looks ridiculous, but I don't see anything wrong. No different than the Emma and Magik redesigns from a few years ago.

[maxhilary]

That panel of Jean talking about Gambit is literally just that, her talking about him, while he's just running around in his regular costume. I don't see how characters themselves talking about another character's attractiveness has anything to do with what we're discussing here.

How many men do you know who have the physical build of any of those characters? Even the 'thin' ones like Cyclops and Spidey are extremely buff.

There's a difference between the male power fantasy and sexualization.

They're superheroes, all of them are in shape, men and women. But their physical condition is different from what they're wearing to display or not display that physical condition. If the argument is that the men are sexualized by being buff, then the women get that same point, they usually have curvy bodies too. Difference is that the women have costumes that show off more skin, and the men don't.

[AcesX1X]

kind of reminds me of the frank cho vs spider-woman days

Whoever is publishing several articles on this one cover specifically (no mention of the rad cover already out on the published #150) or using their Twitter account to insist that Jon Malin is putting a misogynistic bent into a genre that features worse examples (that are still pg 13). Funny enough I saw that someone linked to a BC solicitations page for what looks like an entire line of comics much too racy for mainstream sites.
