    Default "Fox & Friends" Struggles With Thor's Gender, Wonder Woman's Shorts

    According to "Fox & Friends," the problem isn't that female superheroes are oversexualized in comics and on film -- it's they're not being sexualized enough.

    I had already seen that. Sort of a working model for how to act like sexist jerks in front of millions of viewers.

    Fox & Friends struggles to pick the flavor to the pudding cups in their lunchboxes. Rational discourse is not to be expected.

    We'll obviously wonder woman's shorts win, I mean they're held in place dc not being a complete porn comic, thors gender on the other hand, we'll between the flowing locks and the fact that there's been a lady Thor is much more ambiguous.

    Wonder Woman dresses up in red white and blue, with stars and bald eagles and so on everywhere on her costume despite (or perhaps due to) being a first-generation immigrant from some Mediterranean island, and Fox says giving her less clothing is more patriotic?

    So they didn't drag up cross-dressing Thor. Loki is half Troll, not half Jotun

    They were two different complaints.

    One was that her costume was two dark and unpatriotic. The second was that they prefer her in the shorts, although in the comics she's wearing the shorts again so their information is out of date.

    If your question was rhetorical, disregard.

    Just watched the clip. I thought it was funny that there main complaints about Gal Gadot were that 1. she wasn't wearing bright primary colors and 2. she wasn't in her own film. And then they complained about the JMS pants suit.

    Yup they'd fit right in on the WW board.

    Anyways the Popeye thing is just taking conservatism to an extreme and complaining for the sake of it. They won't even let James Bond smoke. And he's an alcoholic, womanizing, murderer. Nobody should be surprised about a kids character not being given a pipe. It's just a different era.

    The female Thor complaint was the most egregious.

    That whole smoking idiocy reminded me of the scene from "Good Morning Vietnam" ( I think that's where it's from) where the late and great Robin Williams as a voice actor decries the cartoons of the time as nothing but a commercial to get kids hooked on smoking. "Fox and Friends", as usual, is living a few decades in the past.

    The Wonder Woman stuff is nonsense, but i don't see why he cannot have the tatoos or even the pipe. He should have at minimum the tattoos, they are not gang tattoos.
