Stephanie Brown is the mascot of fanbase rebellion, I swear.

Batgirl and Thor Paper Dolls Let You Mix and Match Superhero Styles

By Laura Hudson

Illustrator Kyle Hilton has impressed us before with his highly entertaining paper dolls based on characters from shows like Breaking Bad, Downton Abbey, Parks and Rec, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and Arrested Development, but this week he turned his craft towards a fan-favorite character from the DC Universe: Stephanie Brown.

See Hilton’s take on a Thor paper doll.

[image: panel from Red Hood and the Outlaws where Kori is bent in an impossibly stupid way to grab a towel, so Roy Harper can lounge, drink his crantini and ogle her.  Second panel is a redraw by Comic Art Corrections with Kori looking like a normal human being and flatly stating ‘Gimme the damned towel already, douchebag’]

lol

Also reblogged for Kori’s improved dialogue.

Inspired by this Comics Alliance article, which stated, regarding many female comic characters, “They read like men’s voices coming out of women’s faces.”

This isn’t to say men can’t write good women, or shouldn’t write women. It’s great when anyone writes fantastic female characters. But as far as I’m concerned, a lot of comic writers have never written women at all, only hollow wooden sex puppets.

(Prints of this if you want them.)

THIS POST = THE TRUTH

Pro tip for comic book artists: No human being alive sits like that as a way of relaxing. This is beyond ridiculous. 

Let’s examine the context of the image. Mary Jane is sitting on her couch, drinking coffee, wondering if Peter will be safe or perhaps wondering if he’ll ever give up crime fighting and settle down for a normal life. As I don’t know the complete context of whatever comic this is from, I cannot say what else she might be thinking.

Let’s examine the posture. She’s sitting in a way where her back is arched so her boobs are pushed out, followed by her arms squeezing them to make them look bigger. Even her legs are bent oddly as to suggest that at least one of those feet is going to fall asleep soon. 

Look, I get it. Mary Jane is hot, but for Christ’s sake, this is why girls feel alienated from comics. This is not how a human lounges. This isn’t even how a human sits, looking worried or upset. This is how someone sits when they are trying to be sexy and even that is debatable as this pose looks really uncomfortable and unnatural. This is what we’re talking about when we say ‘male gaze’.

Also? It makes you look like a terrible artist when you do this. Let’s pretend sexism doesn’t exist for a moment. I wouldn’t give this image a pass because Mary Jane looks awful here. It’s really jarring to look at and it’s obvious eye candy in what seems like it’s supposed to be a serious image. If you want to be serious, be serious. If you want to draw cheesecake, draw cheesecake. You can’t have both.

I have feelings about comic art, okay? 

Right, so here’s my attempt. I still didn’t get it right, but even going this far had me nearly falling off the couch trying to maintain my balance and cramping my thigh & foot in the process.
