Avengers and Female Superhero Poses

[bookdragon01]

There have been a lot of good discussions pointing out how female heroes are depicted in either unnatural or show-me-your-butt poses. I haven't seen the new Avengers movie yet (will on Sunday!), but Black Widow has gotten great reviews. Unfortunately, she's shown in the show-ass pose in the promotional poster

Haha. I was going to post this after my epic (and spoileriffic) movie review. I am enjoying the spate of people making fun of female comic book poses that's been around the net lately. There's a great photo tumblr of two young women who claim that they just happen to stand/sit/oddly lean around the house in these weird stances.

Thanks. I just loved Cap's pose in this. All that's missing is changing their outfits to show some cleavage (Seriously, Thor at least should be in kilt-like skirt showing off his mighty thews!)

I could really get behind that. Or even in front of it. ;)
