Seeing these excessively revealing costumes of female superheroes is just chilling!
Originally, female characters in superhero works have always been described as sexy and alluring to the extreme. Transitioning from comics to movies, many producers want to stay true to the original while also using the actresses' bodies as 'bait' to lure audiences to theaters. Thus, there have been many female superheroes appearing in Hollywood blockbusters with outrageously revealing outfits. Some look somewhat sexy 'acceptable', while others resemble outright 'pornographic' acts!
1. The 'goddess' Wonder Woman in the DC universe film series
Wonder Woman's costume has become legendary, but that doesn't mean its level of exposure is considered reasonable. Outfits like Wonder Woman's are extremely difficult to... not slip off during movement. Not to mention, she never feels cold, does she?
2. Padmé in Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones
Initially seemingly normal, but then Padmé's outfit torn to just the right degree to look like this. This is an incredibly gratuitous detail for Hollywood to 'sexualize' the character, not to mention Padmé is very young too.
3. Patience in Catwoman
In Catwoman, the super revealing image of the female lead with this uncomfortably scanty outfit has made many viewers feel disgusted. This outfit not only lacks practicality in movement but is also clearly the blatant audience-baiting gimmick of the film studio using the actress's body.
4. Mother Russia in Kick-Ass 2
In reality, perhaps few warriors dare to wear such absurdly hideous outfits. The character's costume is also too illogical, as she has to wear protective gear on her hands while leaving her abdomen... exposed. What's being protected then?
5. Babydoll, Rocket, and Sweat Pea in Sucker Punch
This is one of those classic 'cheesy' movies that still has a lot of fans. However, these 3 characters not only dress provocatively but also... wear high heels to fight, which is what makes many people cringe.
6. Laurie in Watchmen
Why doesn't she just wear pants to make it easier.
7. Elektra in Elektra
This costume is not only excessively revealing but it's also painfully ugly, completely ruining the beauty of the female lead.
8. Harley Quinn in Suicide Squad
The fiery appearance of 'jester' Harley Quinn impresses the audience greatly. However, her need to wear such tight, revealing outfits is just a gimmick by the film studio. In the latest movie installment, 'The Suicide Squad' this year, Harley Quinn has been 'upgraded' with a new outfit that's both pretty and much more modest!
9. Black Widow in the Marvel universe
To be fair, Marvel has done quite well with the appearance of the character Black Widow. However, that doesn't mean this female hero is 'modest'. In the early films, Scarlett Johansson's cleavage was continuously 'emphasized' excessively by the filmmakers.
10. Mystique in X-Men: First Class
The pinnacle of costume design for female Hollywood superheroes is... wearing nothing at all. Indeed, Mystique in the 'X-Men' film world doesn't even have a piece of fabric to cover her body, and actress Jennifer Lawrence has to move around with her body covered in tight green makeup, accentuating every curve and even her breasts. Mystique's appearance is what makes many people uncomfortable when teenagers watch the 'X-Men' movies.
