I miss those days

It was Stark Approved. The guy has great PR.

looked hot on a guy too, and i'm not even gay.

You sure about that?

I never liked "just thongs" on the bottom but everything else looks great.

what costume broke the scale (as in full nudity is the only option left)?

>it's a "the EVIL FEMINAZIS are taking away my boobie comics despite plenty of cheesecake still existing" episode

Feminism is ridiculous and stupid. Goblin Queen is an evil murderous slut. Why wouldn't she dress like one?

She literally wears that same outfit in her recent appearance in X-Men Blue, but go ahead, keep blaming "feminism" for everything "bad" in society.

I blame feminism for female superheroes being ultra scrawny with HUEG boobs barely covered by technicolor cloth

Very few people read comics so nobody said anything, people just scoffed at them and considered them immature. Why do you think comics have an image of being read by asocial losers?

I have to ask though, why do superheroes wear these stupidly inappropriate suits? Even The Incredibles gave some reasoning on how the suits work, not so much in comics. Though considering they are extremely tough people, even going absolutely naked is acceptable I guess.

Original Witchblade's super-skimpy butt floss and nipple pasties look.

Fuck, my dick gets hard just from the memory of that glorious glove armor.

But it still is senpai

here is your answer

What's the point of a comics board when people don't read any comics?

Fine, superheroes and supervillains. Point still stands, you'd expect these super smart/cunning/wise people to make better use of their attire.
Fair enough.

>big gloves
>big boots
>NO PANTS

Aphrodite was better

I miss them too. We'll get back, I promise.

I don't like her skirt.

And were good times

Just go to Paheal and have a wank before reading comics, it'll pass.

Yeah, theres still plenty of cheesecake, but not THIS kind of cheesecake!

Anyone can draw your regular sexy woman in bikini or lingerie, but these days, sexy costumed superheroines or supervillainesses are almost unexistant.

Not only that, as tiime goes by, these neutered designs will be the norm, mainly thanks to things like the dc and marvel cinematic universes, leaving the old costumes into oblivion.

The times dictate now that costumes like emma frost's original ensemble, wonder woman's original leotard or scarlet witch's costume are wrong thanks to the CU's and the SJWs.

So yeah, you dont know what you're talking about dude, or should i say EVIL FEMINAZI.

no mention of feminism anywhere in this thread before you came along

Cheesecake is not porn. Stop equating the two. You're just as bad as bible-thumpers and sjws.

I like what's under it

>Anyone can draw your regular sexy woman in bikini or lingerie, but these days, sexy costumed superheroines or supervillainesses are almost unexistant.
Lay off your persecution mania, there's STILL plenty of sexy costumes around, in fact Emma wears these from time to time in recent shit. Just because most new characters aren't wearing bikinis for battle it doesn't mean the old characters are barred from wearing their classic, yet unpractical costumes. Again, look closer instead of crying like a sore nerd about something that didn't stop happening.
There's plenty of cheesecake in Paheal though, more than just porn in fact.

>There's plenty of cheesecake in Paheal though
That's irrelevant.

there are tons of cheesecake comics out there, Dejah Thoris just relaunched, Lady Death has an ongoing. There is the entire Aspen and Zenoscope universe too

It was all going there anyway.

Why? Because you said so? If what you want is cheesecake, there's still loads and loads of it online. These complaints are baseless, no one's out to get you.

>Why? Because you said so?
Because cheesecake by definition is not explicit. Porn is uniquely explicit. What paheal chooses to host on its site is not relevant to this discussion. Porn will get you banned on a Sup Forums blue board. Cheesecake won't.

None of those are the big 2, which are the only publishers that matter.

>Porn will get you banned on a Sup Forums blue board. Cheesecake won't.
But it should be, since lots of these threads would be better suited for >>/aco/. And for the record no one is being a prude, you just know that shit isn't worksafe no matter what mental gymnastics you want to apply to it.

>But it should be
Your feefees are irrelevant.

find a new way to play the game, pleb

It's basically porn at that point. Your dick's feefees shouldn't count for anything.

A lot of the designs were just pushing things as far as they could to sell comics and to push back against prudishness. Now though people are pushing for more puritanism but calling it progressive and comics just aren't selling as well because they are trying to make something that was made for escapism into something trying to serious. Superheroes as a medium for grounded and realistic stories, let that sink in.

It was a better time.

Just like 90's edge, that stuff had its time and place. The reason why it's not more common (because it hasn't gone away no matter what sort of selective blindness you got going on) is because it's very lazy as far as designs go and there's plenty of cheesecake elsewhere. You can't really expect to get hired as an artist on any publisher by showcasing what's basically a smut gallery, and I mean ANY publisher.
Meanwhile, anyone can make a Patreon and make a huge amount of cash just by drawing cheesecake. The market just changed.
Back in the day the only way to get porn was at some videostore and on VHS, just because said video stores stopped existing it doesn't mean porn isn't one of the biggest markets in many levels.

>the 90s invented cheesecake
get a lot of this pleb

Dumbass, re read what I wrote and try again.

>Get a lot of this
Did you even understand what user meant?

If by "puritanism" you mean "female characters tending to have the same amount of clothing as male characters" then that's because rebels against the old status quo have become a new status quo. Now people are trying to push past the trend of female characters having their sex appeal significantly more emphasized than males, with feature such as ubiquitous skimpy costumes, body shapes designed to overemphasize the characters' sexual assets as opposed to strength or agility, and camera angles which linger on said assets.

And they're all shit. Cheesecake always means bad stories.

Fine for a villain. Their evil aura keeps it on.

Otherwise it looks stupid.

I love how guys pull out this shit like look how comics used to look and they should go back to that, while neglecting that the 90s everything is sex look is in itself a departure from the original design.

Nearly everything people say comics should go back to is a bastardization of the original intent by horny man children.

Why is there so much fanart of such a nothing character? Is it just to jerk off?

Not an argument.

Her costume is sexy and comic book redheads are popular.

>amerimutts in charge of determining how much sex appeal is "okay"
Your country has a fucked up view of sex. You indulge in copious amounts of pornography but then claim you don't and shame others who are honest about it. I will never understand feeling ashamed about nudity.

Found the gay guy

hopefully we come back to that era and marvel/dc comics doesn't pay attention to those sjw/lgbtq/bbq/etc.. groups
and in doing so they also fire any writer/editor that has a sjw/lgbtq/bbq/etc. agenda.

MAKE COMICS GREAT AGAIN

Is still is, is just that people started to feel like that was the ONLY acceptable design and had little to do with the character and his story and everything to do with easy fap material.
Now if you want to do fap material, you just do that honestly without hiding it, and if you want to have that design in a story you, like every other thing, have to find a justification and sound reason like pic related.

You really chose to ignore the entirety of the thread where you get BTFO just to spout your Comicsgate shit, huh?

I feel like you haven't read many of the comics of "that era"

...

Yeah god thanks so much for the feminists and soyboys teaching us that depicting women as absolutely beautiful secretly meant we fucking hated them. So much misogyny.

If we really cared about women, they would've all been fat and unattractive like all the men.

>Oh wait...

That's because their claims of "misogyny" and "sexual objectification" are false and idiotic, yet they push them like they're the most important issues in the world when middle eastern women are having acid thrown in their faces.
Feminists are delusional liars. Objectification exists for both sexes and always has - women have just taken a secondary role in comics because, hurr durr, mostly young boys and some men actually read comics.

Feminists don't live in reality and prefer to force their false one on people under threats.

See

No it doesn't.
Marz's Witchblade had some fucking fantastic stories and still had plenty of cheesecake.

...Actually the industry used to have a healthy female side with romance and drama comics.
It was in the 80's that it shifted to be more male centric, I wonder what happen there?

IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FAPPING, I haven't fapped to still image in 10 years, but I still love cheesecake.
It's simply visually pleasing to look at and endears us to the characters some of the time.

(I don't trust you to get it, it was the when tv shows got massive after the 70's and the public shifted to see cheap tv dramas)

It was a different time

You are not the measure of every man in the world, I do fap to that and I do draw it for that reason.

I'll agree with that. Scantily-clad women = objectification = misogyny I still think is bullshit though when you compare it with both sexes. I think the whole objectification argument is some shaky bs.

Feminism happened and everything for girls was oppression so they needed to have exactly what the boys had (even though it already existed.)

>Feminism happened and everything for girls was oppression so they needed to have exactly what the boys had (even though it already existed.)
You know nothing about the history of comic books,

Why don't you indulge us, anonymous? What is your knowledge of the history of comics?

I actually know a lot about it but that was certainly part of it, besides the huge boom in the 80's and 90's. Plus those were some of the best decades for comic books so I don't know if you're implying that things were better before that or not.

We wouldn't have anything like the comics or movies we have today without their explosion of popularity at the end of the 20th century, which was full of 'edge' creators like Rob Liefeld and Todd MacFarlane. Moore's Watchmen came out in 86, also changing the game for comics.

>*edgy
damn it, meant to say edgy, point being that they took superhero and hot woman tropes to the extreme like many other creators, trying to be cutting-edge and super sexy, etc..

I could and maybe I will but I'm not attracted to making your job for you so I will let you with some good basic reading if the subject interest you:
The 10cent Plague and The Untold History of Marvel, Brian Cronin was superman a spy, Peter Sanderson Classic Marvel Super Heroes: The Story of Marvel's Mightiest, Sean Kleefield Fanthropology

>(but really they were all racist misogynists which is why Spawn was full of black characters and strong women thank god for feminism)

So instead of answering you pretend to be a comic book scholar and list a bunch of random books?
K

Because costume are about style.

Same reason you see a lot of actresses and singers wearing see through clothes or barely any clothes, thigh high boots, 5 inch heels... on red carpet but average clothes in their daily life.

And the clothes male superheroes wear are also "inapropriate" when you think about it. Just imagine a colleague wearing a shirt and a pants so thight that you see their every muscles, fabric clutching to his ass as if he was wearing a legging.

This is like saying that in this age dominated by pg13 movies, there is lot of sex in movies because porn exists.

>Fine for a villain. Their evil aura keeps it on.
>Otherwise it looks stupid.
This is 40s Disney level of reasoning. Good girls are sexless and villains are slut. The sexual revolution has already happened, my friend, you don't need to live with the values of the past.

>Now if you want to do fap material, you just do that honestly without hiding it
He said when there's little porn comics published in the USA. Like really published, not deviant art or the shitty stuffs you find on the net.

>I actually know a lot about it but that was certainly part of it,
Soon you'll tell us western comics, horror comics... also disappeared because feminism.

right now there is
>Belladonna
>Barbarella
>Jungle Girls or whatever
>Lookers
>Tarot
>Savage Dragon
half of those came out today

r64 Gambit is hot

Again, The left around the world is tryin to revert the clock back to the 50's if not the 60's conservationism, the era of comic book censoring, and a certain Doctor.

Yes, go read

Yes, but you own the internet now, wich is, you know, a thing that changes the status quo.

They change Vampirella back yet like they did with Red Sonja?

I could understand toning certain shit down to appeal to the kiddies, but these were basically pin-up girls. Just who did they think the choices were going to appeal to? I mean I already saw what they did to Witch-Blade no way i'm touching that.

> Plus those were some of the best decades for comic books
That's some rose tainted glasses you have on.
>We wouldn't have anything like the comics or movies we have today without their explosion of popularity at the end of the 20th century, which was full of 'edge' creators like Rob Liefeld and Todd MacFarlane. Moore's Watchmen came out in 86, also changing the game for comics.
And we wouldn't have WW if it wasn't for feminism, of course the present is a combination of things of the past, social justice gave us GreenArrow/GreenLanter run of the 70's
Also
>Rob Liefeld

Everything is a parody at this point.

yes, she's back to her classic when she fights. Just not when she's in disguise

This.

It's not Shakespeare, bro. There isn't some secret history surrounding the evolution of comic books. I both write and draw comics and have read them since I was a kid and I'm 33 fucking years old. I think I'm more than qualified to speak on the subject without acting like Simpsons comic book guy like you.

LOOK AT ME REED

You mean Havok?

It seems like her boobs would fall out, and then she would be so embarassed

the more I look at it, this is pretty ridiculous though. Garments usually cover the torso and hips section of the body while it's the limbs left exposed, and this is entirely the opposite of that, aside from the thong

Yet somehow you seem to believe that is a feminist conspiracy instead of a change of societal norms.
Thing like >Feminism happened and everything for girls was oppression so they needed to have exactly what the boys had
Proves you don't know much, as it was feminist who complained when WW was depowered, and most changes are top dogs trying to figuring out what is the most wide range appealing thing to sell, instead of caring about agendas and such.
In the 70's was "comic are serious guys, look how we talk about drugs and racism"
In the 80's was "sex and violence sells and young man have disposable income... nice"
In the 90's was "Events, events are great, it force collectors to buy things they wouldn't normally buy"
And now is "there's all this people who go to see our superhero movies but don't buy comics... how do we get their money? oooh, we create controversy and show ourselves to be like, in the now, and shit, we are progressive"

It has nothing to do with people complaining and everything to do with sales.
If people complain (them, you, whoever) then they hold public conciseness and remain as relevant as a dying industry can.

download euro books then.

Sure dude. Sales in the millions compared to 20k being considered a success today. Vertigo, Sandman, Preacher. Valiant with fucking everything. Image with Spawn. Dark Horse with Hellboy, Sin City, Aliens. vs. Predator. The Death of Superman. Bone. The list goes on and on. Don't know what kind of mental gymnastics you have to do to consider that "rose tainted glasses."

Are you like 70 years old and about to start a tirade about the Golden Age, gramps?

I was talking about our last decade or so, otherwise you're right. Now, sales seem to be neck-and-neck with virtue signaling and pseudo-political statements, which is really just an attempt at rebranding and getting a new audience's money. So far it's failed pretty spectacularly.

This is a good breakdown and coincides with comics become more and more collector's specialty shit until the bust in the mid 90's.
