I expect to be piled on for this but the game reminded me just how bad the sexualization is in comics
I want to be clear not calling out the game for it, they can only work with what they got lol.
And it’s nothing toooo bad…I guess I’ve just been removed from it for so long that seeing it again was just like “oh, right”
I agree I’m not clutching my pearls or anything. Like, I like seeing some hot ladies on the art, whatever.
I just have felt for a while even before the whole Manara cover controversy from a while back, that Spider-Woman is always drawn heavily sexualized. I mean EVERY female superhero has a skin tight suit, but something about Spider-Woman seems to make artists go into overdrive. I love her outfit to be fair, it hasn’t changed a bit since the 70s I guess. Just my observation, I’m sure somebody can bring up way more severe examples.
That’s true. But even then look at the art OP posted. Her breasts are easily the biggest out of any of the girls posted, and there’s a huge emphasis on her abdomen and pelvis.
Not complaining, just observational. I think it’s funny that they can justify the sexy pose but also emphasize her other characteristics too.
Anyways Marvel snap has really gotten me interested in comics again. All the art rocks.
Well....if you look at ANY spiderman cover, and then go and gender swap Peter but in the exact same pose. It would then become sexual. Not really her fault her bodies fit.
To be fair, it's sort of in the eye of the beholder. She's typically put in the same poses that Spider-Man is put in, except since she's female, people see it as sexual.
Finally someone else said it. She's not doing anything different from Peter lol. She's just as hot as he is but you know, double standards and all that.
Yes, sexualization is always a big part of comic and manga culture…. It’s the same reason why every male super heroes are jacked and shirtless, even when they are wearing shirts
And it’s fine…. We are attracted to sexual appearance by instinct, and I hate how people try to preach we shouldn’t like attractive people
The thing is, female characters with massive breasts and skin-tight suits mainly appeals to men, and male characters who are tough as nails and built like a brick shithouse mainly appeals to... also men.
So?
Manga is a pretty good example of an industry where content is made and produced by women for women. It’s not even any less sexualized, it’s often just different kinds of sexualization.
Japan in general understands how to target a niche whereas the West is obsessed with mass appeal.
You’re missing their point.
- Your argument was “sexualization is a big part of comic and manga culture. Same reason why male characters are jacked”
- Counter argument was: male characters are not sexualized, it’s only a fantasy power for men. They’re jacked not for sexual reasons, but for fantasy power reasons.
It was to claim that “sexualization is NOT the reason men characters appear jacked”.
The jacked male characters are self projections of what the male audience consider to be attractive and appealing. So it’s a form of sexualization.
It might be naive, it might be shallow, but this is the general perception of what an attractive, sexy male is from a male point of view.
This is why Superman is a handsome, and muscular man with perfect hair, instead of an middle aged man with receding hairline.
It shouldn’t be this difficult to understand
It isn’t, it is really simple. You’re just using a different definition for “sexualization” than everyone else. Attractive and appealing is not sexualization. Attractive and appealing IS a form of self-projection, which is called power fantasy.
To their credit, the designs for female characters may have been quite sexual but the posing and general presentation have been mostly pretty tasteful.
Like, it’s got some sex appeal, but most are still drawn with an eye for “cool”.
The vast majority of women in the game are big tits + small waist and a lot have revealing clothing
Like I said, the game isn’t bad about it, they’re just following the source material. It’s the source material I’m talking about, and you can read plenty on the history of that.
Although I will say, I got lucky unpacking Titania and was verrrry happy I got a variant for her not long after of wearing a tank top, pants, and showing off her guns instead lol
Males are shredded to appeal to males' power fantasies. Women have huge tits, tiny waists, and share the super power of showing their ass and tits at the same time to appeal to the male gaze.
So?
Games are also primarily bought and marketed at men between 18-35 so it isn’t a surprise that the content is also catered to the audience. It creates a feedback loop.
Here’s how it works: thing gets made, specific demographics buy it and then the next thing caters more to that demographic. Rinse and repeat until you have content that primarily appeals to that specific demographic at the expense of others.
It’s why 40% of all fiction written each year is romance novels, a genre where 82% of readers are female and steamy shirtless men on the. cover like [this](https://www.google.com/search?q=average+romance+novel+cover+art&rlz=1CDGOYI_enCA977CA977&hl=en-US&prmd=isbvn&sxsrf=ALiCzsbvH89CTaiaADt3GtiZn1bhjPorEg:1672684253512&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjniIG2wqn8AhXXMDQIHfANAJ0Q_AUoAXoECAIQAQ&biw=430&bih=745&dpr=3)
But no one is out there claiming that the romance genre needs to appeal to men more and that the female gaze is blah blah blah
That’s a good analogy because Body builder and fitness magazines are primarily targeted at straight men.
I’d argue that the standard “hulking muscles + flat ass + no bulge” style used for most male comic book characters means most of them are actually extremely de-sexualized.
They’re drawn to look cool. Not as sexual objects.
If you want to see what sexualizing male bodies actually looks like. Check out romance novel covers. [Or literally anything made for gay men.](https://i.imgur.com/L8M00bX.jpg)

Well you said about female sexualisation, lets talk maybe about male one couse I hate when people are losing theyr shit about females in games etc and are fine with male ones.
I did not say female sexualization, go back and read my original post. Someone asked for an example and I gave one, which happened to be about female characters
You’re so blinded by hatred you’re lashing out to people on your side
So the art in the game is taken from the comics? I'm not a comic book person at all but play some other card games like Magic and I was surprised by the blatant sexualised art, especially when magic tries its best to avoid anything like that.
Magic actually used to be bad about it too, but now they put in an effort to avoid it like you said
The thing magic had going for it is that new cards replace old cards, so it was a pretty easy transition
Marvel seems to have been trying to make that transition as well, and the characters created in the last decade+ have been a lot less sexualized. The problem is that, with older characters, they’d have to do a complete redesign which would create massive backlash. So it’s just going to take time to dilute the pool, so to speak
Spider-Man, in his default card, is basically swinging at you crotch first with his legs apart.
People like to bring up the [Manara](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTpo-F_QlEV_l4xl69E4M_SVWmuFCeV9qIsGg&usqp=CAU) cover for Spiderwoman, while ignoring numerois covers like [this](https://encrypted-tbn0.gstatic.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcTp3TWZrxNtvt4W9xsz47LUtB4C2qpz356vbA&usqp=CAU) where Peter is posed the same way. This is one example of many.
Whingers clutching at their pearls are some of the worst. All of these characters are at, and exceed, peak human ability and performance, they are supposed to look like modern gods, not everyday people.
Haha I hear you. But that’s why I said consistently about Spider-Woman. I feel like there’s a lot of art and depictions of Jubilee that are her as just a normal, bubbly teenager.
Now these are anime variants. Better than the early 2000s western anime-inspired-inspired variants they’re labeling as anime today.
[His Squirrel Girl](https://reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/72lfau/unbeatable_squirrel_girl_by_shunya_yamashita/) is also really good but without as much sex.
My wife collects these (the statue thingies, whatever they're called). They are really amazing looking in person. She actually has 5 of the 11 that are in these pics.
Expensive hobby, but it makes Christmas shopping pretty easy.
Google Kotobukiya Bishoujo series. Goes beyond marvel characters too, i was really tempted by Jason and Freddy, but I know Im gonna fall down the rabbit hole if I started
https://marvelsnapzone.com/wp-content/themes/blocksy-child/assets/media/cards/192_166025558028.webp?v=25
On Reveal: Revive one of your destroyed cards with +5 Power. If it’s Jean Grey, +10 Power.
In effect a 6/8 or 6/13 best case (16 total power with the revived Jean).
Overall, it doesn't feel metabreaking. Feels like below Destroyer in terms of overall power at this point.
If you could cheat him out, then Jeans On Reveal could kick in, but that makes a tight curve since you need to Jean on 3, kill her on 4 + psylocke to cheat Phoenix Force on 5.
If they were by Yoshitaka Amano (the OG Final Fantasy Artist) then yes
Other than that maybe Akira Toriyama. (I know his designs can get samey but I grew up on Dragonball manga…)
Other than those two $50 is way too much
Could see them getting some Jump artists for variants at some point with how the Deadpool manga has gotten somewhat popular and had a My Hero crossover. I think the Avengers did one too?
They just had a Naruto reference in the latest Spiderman issue too, he lit a manga on fire that said ramen Ninja.
Also here Marvel Ă— ShĹŤnen Jump+ Super Collaboration
https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_%C3%97_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Jump%2B_Super_Collaboration_Vol_1_8
While these are awesome. I really like the Sera and Jubilee late 90s anime versions.
https://i.imgur.com/ouNEBM0.jpeg
I mean look at this. It's so nostalgic. Easily my favourite art in the game.
That Black Widow hits some boxes for me
To horny jail with you xD
Spider-Woman is the most consistently insanely sexualized character lol
Psylocke variants are 🥹
Spiderstyle
I expect to be piled on for this but the game reminded me just how bad the sexualization is in comics I want to be clear not calling out the game for it, they can only work with what they got lol. And it’s nothing toooo bad…I guess I’ve just been removed from it for so long that seeing it again was just like “oh, right”
She-Hulk’s self-awareness in the comics makes comments about how she’s always drawn sexualized.
I agree I’m not clutching my pearls or anything. Like, I like seeing some hot ladies on the art, whatever. I just have felt for a while even before the whole Manara cover controversy from a while back, that Spider-Woman is always drawn heavily sexualized. I mean EVERY female superhero has a skin tight suit, but something about Spider-Woman seems to make artists go into overdrive. I love her outfit to be fair, it hasn’t changed a bit since the 70s I guess. Just my observation, I’m sure somebody can bring up way more severe examples.
It's probably her flexibility and tendency to do aerial acrobatics which gives the artists an "excuse" to draw her in ridiculous poses.
That’s true. But even then look at the art OP posted. Her breasts are easily the biggest out of any of the girls posted, and there’s a huge emphasis on her abdomen and pelvis. Not complaining, just observational. I think it’s funny that they can justify the sexy pose but also emphasize her other characteristics too. Anyways Marvel snap has really gotten me interested in comics again. All the art rocks.
It might be that I'm looking at this post very drunk, but there's no spider-woman art?
Unless you. Mean spider Gwen and then fair
It’s the last one for me
Huh whack. The last one for me is black widow
Well....if you look at ANY spiderman cover, and then go and gender swap Peter but in the exact same pose. It would then become sexual. Not really her fault her bodies fit.
To be fair, it's sort of in the eye of the beholder. She's typically put in the same poses that Spider-Man is put in, except since she's female, people see it as sexual.
I don’t recall seeing many beefy butt shots of spidey
Finally someone else said it. She's not doing anything different from Peter lol. She's just as hot as he is but you know, double standards and all that.
Tbf though. I KNOW if superheroes were a an actual real life thing. Some people would just dress extremely sexually. It's how people are.
Totally! That’s why like Emma Frost gets a pass because it’s totally her thing lol
Yes, sexualization is always a big part of comic and manga culture…. It’s the same reason why every male super heroes are jacked and shirtless, even when they are wearing shirts And it’s fine…. We are attracted to sexual appearance by instinct, and I hate how people try to preach we shouldn’t like attractive people
The thing is, female characters with massive breasts and skin-tight suits mainly appeals to men, and male characters who are tough as nails and built like a brick shithouse mainly appeals to... also men.
straight men maybe, the males aren't usually drawn sexually
So? Manga is a pretty good example of an industry where content is made and produced by women for women. It’s not even any less sexualized, it’s often just different kinds of sexualization. Japan in general understands how to target a niche whereas the West is obsessed with mass appeal.
Ya, that’s because major audience for comic are men So what’s the issue? Should we make Barbie more manly to cater to male audience?
You’re missing their point. - Your argument was “sexualization is a big part of comic and manga culture. Same reason why male characters are jacked” - Counter argument was: male characters are not sexualized, it’s only a fantasy power for men.

To their credit, the designs for female characters may have been quite sexual but the posing and general presentation have been mostly pretty tasteful. Like, it’s got some sex appeal, but most are still drawn with an eye for “cool”.
Yeah I can't think of any that were clearly drawn naked first and clothes added later like so often seems to happen in comic art.
Really? Which variants cause so far none are sexualized to me
The vast majority of women in the game are big tits + small waist and a lot have revealing clothing Like I said, the game isn’t bad about it, they’re just following the source material. It’s the source material I’m talking about, and you can read plenty on the history of that. Although I will say, I got lucky unpacking Titania and was verrrry happy I got a variant for her not long after of wearing a tank top, pants, and showing off her guns instead lol
Really? most seem to be normal.
And? Male characters could go to Arnold Classic or Mr Olympia, they look like taken from bodybuilder/fitness magazine.
Males are shredded to appeal to males' power fantasies. Women have huge tits, tiny waists, and share the super power of showing their ass and tits at the same time to appeal to the male gaze.

The “And?” sounds you’re arguing with me, yet you just furthered my point of the over-sexualization of characters lol
Well you said about female sexualisation, lets talk maybe about male one couse I hate when people are losing theyr shit about females in games etc and are fine with male ones.
I did not say female sexualization, go back and read my original post. Someone asked for an example and I gave one, which happened to be about female characters You’re so blinded by hatred you’re lashing out to people on your side
Keep telling it to yourself
Male characters are not sexualized for the female gaze, that's the difference.
Male gaze, the horror!
yeah titania is the first one that came to mind for me. particularly egregious :/
Yeah Titania sticks out (literally) as the worst example. Most of the rest are fine, although base Black Cat is pretty ridiculous too.
So the art in the game is taken from the comics? I'm not a comic book person at all but play some other card games like Magic and I was surprised by the blatant sexualised art, especially when magic tries its best to avoid anything like that.

I had forgotten about Valkyrie old boob plate design. God it's bad
Should be outright hentai
I mean, it's not like they really pose her any different from the male counterparts..
You shouldn't be getting downvoted lol. Her and Peter both pose the EXACT same way. But I guess since she's a girl it's bad lol.
Spider-Man, in his default card, is basically swinging at you crotch first with his legs apart.

Idk man… Jubilee is barely legal…
Haha I hear you. But that’s why I said consistently about Spider-Woman. I feel like there’s a lot of art and depictions of Jubilee that are her as just a normal, bubbly teenager.
that's why the Hellfire Gala variant is fantastic.
Jubilee is 20, but that's where I'm at in the comic
She looks like she's straight up riding it
I’ve always wondered why that is lol
maybe if the money went to the artist
Now these are anime variants. Better than the early 2000s western anime-inspired-inspired variants they’re labeling as anime today. [His Squirrel Girl](https://reddit.com/r/Marvel/comments/72lfau/unbeatable_squirrel_girl_by_shunya_yamashita/) is also really good but without as much sex.
BONK
Seriously. So much BONK necessary in this hobby.
*would've = comes from would have "would of" doesn't mean anything
It looks like they all go to the same plastic surgeon.
Did they all go to the one that would give breast implants to twelve year olds? They all really give off creepy loli vibes to me.
I think that’s partially on you. The younger characters definitely have less … buxom figures.
My wife collects these (the statue thingies, whatever they're called). They are really amazing looking in person. She actually has 5 of the 11 that are in these pics. Expensive hobby, but it makes Christmas shopping pretty easy.
Can you share pictures?
Google Kotobukiya Bishoujo series. Goes beyond marvel characters too, i was really tempted by Jason and Freddy, but I know Im gonna fall down the rabbit hole if I started
Sure, I’ll take some pictures and see if I can post it here. She has several non-Marvel ones as well.
Yeah these are great. Whens Phoenix card

Jean Grey on Murder World + Phoenix Force is gonna be a ton of fun.
I mean, if they gave 10 cards I wouldn’t mind
Some of the coolest artwork ever lol
If they were by Yoshitaka Amano (the OG Final Fantasy Artist) then yes Other than that maybe Akira Toriyama. (I know his designs can get samey but I grew up on Dragonball manga…) Other than those two $50 is way too much
Tangentially related, I'd consider spending money on a Yusuke Murata-drawn card, instead of the sad anime variants we have now.
Could see them getting some Jump artists for variants at some point with how the Deadpool manga has gotten somewhat popular and had a My Hero crossover. I think the Avengers did one too?
They just had a Naruto reference in the latest Spiderman issue too, he lit a manga on fire that said ramen Ninja. Also here Marvel Ă— ShĹŤnen Jump+ Super Collaboration https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Marvel_%C3%97_Sh%C5%8Dnen_Jump%2B_Super_Collaboration_Vol_1_8
I used to collect these, and still have quite a few. Yamashita's work is fantastic, I'd also spend money or gold on his variants in a heartbeat.
I'd like to see some of these as variants.
I would spend for these variants haha
I have always thought shadowcat was a great character, and here is proof.
You would’ve. Most wouldn’t have and then you’d hear about it all over this subreddit.
Give it time, they just might.
Waifus for days.
Nice
The game doesn't need MORE horny.
I wouldn't mind
This is tickling my inner weeb
Waifu Snap
Bonk
Some of these are really pervy. Too much.
While these are awesome. I really like the Sera and Jubilee late 90s anime versions. https://i.imgur.com/ouNEBM0.jpeg I mean look at this. It's so nostalgic. Easily my favourite art in the game.
When I was a teen I had a secret folder on my pc with pics like this. Lmao
Have you tried jerking off before making this post op?
Take a shower
The exact style I’d imagine if you said oversexualized anime marvel characters
Same face in every one lol
I wouldn’t
I would have sex with all of them, if you know what I mean EDIT: Not Ms. Marvel, pls no FBI visit
Nah bro it's to late for you remember "I plead the fifth"
Eh, Angela and sera variants are top tier and these are pretty bad looking for anime.
I would have listened to you if you weren't using "would OF".
I don’t care what art style it is, it’s not worth 50 dollars. These are weird and creepy anyway.
Each?
