muscle woman are considered a punchline rather than a bankable commodity.
Hollywood is so filled of with Gay Males ,Pedaphiles, and men who have a Barbie doll view of the female form,
muscle woman is a direct attack on there masculinity .
Look at the line up of crap movies ,characters and shit actors .
Neilsen= as The she hulk and Red Sonja
Electra= horrible everything
Catwoman = total mess
movie =My ex-super girl friend ( need I say More)
I can Go on and On!

I watched Red Sonja when I was a kid, I actually liked it. I fell asleep watching Electra though. It’s that bad

How we change Hollywood? Babysteps. Muscular women will probably always be some sort of a side thing but in the last years we tend to see at least strong women more and more in TV and movies. And as unkn0wnX pointet out, Hollywood is a mirror of society. From what I believe strong women showing some muscularity are way more accepted these days then a few years ago. So all we can do is sit and see how it turns out. Maybe we will get a bit of it with Marvels She Hulk TV-series should it really be made.

Until then I think we should enjoy good movies and not be too overly critic about casting choices. Yeah, Gal Gadot was a disappointment especially when you think she should embody THE amazon in todays culture. I tend to be a bit more forgiving with marvel considering that they didn’t fuck up a casting choice in the last few years (even Jessica Jones which I thought was horrible casting before I saw it turned out to be really great).

In my opinion the whole internet should take a sit back and wait with critisizing things AFTER we saw how it turned out, not directly right at the announcement.

It would be great if it is done right. Forget Hollywood, many comic book writers and artists have a extremely feminine interpretation of female superheroes (a lot of detail goes into their curves rather than their muscularity, even if they have the physical strength of Hulk or Superman).

Sadly, I doubt that this will ever happen. A medium/ major Hollywood film with a muscular woman as it’s lead character seems unlikely,

I think independent productions will have to continue leading the way.

HYeah, Gal Gadot was a disappointment especially when you think she should embody THE amazon in todays culture..

Special effects really sold her Amazon appeal. I know some fans say she was the only thing worthwhile in that movie but that’s not saying much character wise.

Took the words right outta my mouth..
With Crossfit airing on ESPN & John Cena’s military training reality show on FOX OR Stallone’s personal training reality show taking BIGGEST LOSERS place
American Ninja Warrior is the new American Gladiators
Imagine that people are going to have a generation of up&coming adults who are fit as hell

Wow. We are actually setting a conspiracy! 😛

“Hollywood is a mirror of society.”

Half of it, yes. The other half consists of imposing trends, ideals, actions, and “history”. Hollywood is a prime source of propaganda, no matter how much we like to think otherwise.

Regarding women and muscles…first, we should aim for equality between genders. And I mean, actual equality. In movies, muscles = violence. No one is “casually” buff. If they sport a ripped body, they’re gonna use it, and almost always for violence (okay, pr0n doesn’t count 😉 ) . If it is for visual appeal, well, here Hollywood is a mirror of society: muscular women don’t sell romance. They sell strenght, violence, action.

Continuing with equality: whenever a woman is put in a similar violent situation as any male character…bam, the “X-Men: Apocalypse” issue brought to you by false feminists.They want similar roles, both in fiction and reality, but they don’t want any consequences. They want action, violence, heroism, but they forget that part of being a hero(ine) is receiving punches. Basically, they want perfect, beautiful, capable, untouchable heroines who never get hit and never fail. They want Tomb Raider I and II.

I digress, sorry. So, the only niche we can find for buff ladies is, for now, the violent one. Sadly, muscular ladies are still a small part of sexy body types, so it’s not a matter of acting, it’s a matter of patience. Perhaps one day they’ll realize Scarlett Johansson looks like a supermodel in a bodysuit and not a superspy, or that no matter how much Jennifer Garner or Olivia Munn work out, they don’t look tough. They made every guy bulk up dementially for every single action role, but for every action heroine is just 2 months of lifting plastic weights ans showing how “buff” they look on IG.

1. Win the lottery.
2. Hire female bodybuilders for your movie.
3. Direct the movie.
4. Invite everyone here to the world premiere and to the meet the stars party.
