On-screen superheroes then and now. And they say men (cyborgs and turtles) aren't sexualized (x-post from /r/pics)

Men have always been sexualized by either their physicality or their wallet. That's how it has been.

Women won't admit it because it impugns their pretense of "elevated/pure" "love/lust".

All the actors are jacked as shit except for the Flash (who's from a TV show) compared to their past versions. It shows exactly how men are sexualised in Hollywood and society in general. All that jacking up isn't healthy for the actors either, who do it for the role in a very short time and then loose it afterwards but then gain it again for the sequel. The only woman shown looked pretty much the same but was covered up a bit more in fact but that isn't to say that sexualistion doesn't happen to women.

But personally, I don't believe there is much wrong with it. It's a movie about superhumans so it create a more majestic atmosphere and gives them a bit more "larger than life" feel. It's also supposed to be entertaining and people like looking at hot people so it's win win, except for the actors who have to suffer for the role which is the only bit I don't like.

Also, a fucking cyborg have a pattern resembling abs is ridiculous and a bunch to turtles being bodybuilder level swole is kind of stupid as well but could make sense since they don't really have much superpowers.
