I've never been much of a Green Lantern fan. Not sure why, he's just never really captured my imagination. But I'm always interested in the latest comic-based movies, so I was checking out the Green Lantern trailer when something grabbed my attention.
Or maybe I should say a lack of something grabbed my attention; a lack of clothing. Yes, in typical comic book fashion, a female character is exposing her chest in a way that's just barely legal and is definitely in violation of physics. And it makes it even more glaringly obvious when she is the only character showing any flesh and also the only female character in a room full of male characters.
Pathetic. In spite of how much I love boobies, I still find this obsession with indecent exposure lame. It's one thing to create unrealistic stripper-shaped super-heroines. It's another to have them expose way more skin than makes sense, especially when it's totally unnecessary. I mean, have you seen the female superheroes who don't have gaping holes in their costumes? The only difference is colour; not much is left to the imagination.
Anyways, I did a screen grab so I could blog about it. Then I forgot about it. After a month or so, a new trailer came out. And they showed that same scene again. But this time, something had changed. Here is the before and after:
Hmm... Was it just a mistake to begin with or did someone take to task the boneheads responsible for such idiocy and force them to give the poor girl a little dignity?
UPDATE: I saw the film. They opted for the flesh-revealing outfit after all.
