The Allure of Wonder Woman – A Character I Want to Meet

As someone who has always been fascinated by strong, independent women in cinema, there’s one character that stands out above the rest—Diana Prince, also known as Wonder Woman. Played brilliantly by Gal Gadot in the DC Extended Universe films, Diana is not just a superhero; she's an embodiment of grace, strength, and unwavering hope. If I were given the chance to meet any fictional character from a movie, it would undoubtedly be her. Here’s why. Diana was born on the mystical island of Themyscir

Tomie is A Bad Victim In The Best Way

Presently known as the "King of Horror Manga," Japanese artist Junji Ito captivated his fans including myself, with his 1980s anthology Tomie, which revolves around the brutal murder and dismemberment of a young girl whose spirit reincarnates and multiplies long after death. I stumbled upon Tomie at an inappropriate age I'll admit. Still, I couldn't stop reading because of how intriguing the narrative surrounding a transgressive succubus, who ruins the lives of men was. If you're familiar with J

FromsHerEyes: Brilliant analysis! One of Junji Ito's most impressive aspects is how he transforms the desires and cruelty projected onto women in misogynistic culture into horror imagery that points back at the perpetrators (and other potential victims). The result reveals a truth about misogynistic society: there are no perfect victims, and no one can completely escape the erosion of misogynistic culture. Everyone caught within it must, like those stained by Tomie's blood, endure fear, cruelty, and torment. After all these years, it remains one of the most brilliant and daring horror manga I've read (strictly speaking, I haven't finished it)

Why do female action heroes always wear tank tops?

Do you have the same feel as I have? Starting with movies like Alien, Terminator, Twister, and Tomb Raider, tank tops have become iconic. Take Ripley as an example. She represents a powerful female image, but at the same time, she has also become another object of projection for female desire. So, there are even some Resin Statue of the scene tank-top-Ripley taking off her coat…. So, for me, it's interesting to ask, why female characters in action movies often wear tank tops, and the subtle differences and meanings behind them ? From my own perspective, In films, the tank top is an important tool for creators when shaping powerful female characters.It carries the imagination and expectations of people from different periods towards strong female roles, and its connotations have naturally been changing along with these expectations. At times it represents a breakthrough, while at other times it falls into stereotypes. This also reflects people's understanding of attitudes towards strong female characters, which is constantly evolving. What are your thoughts on this tank-top-heroine phenomenon? Share any ideas that come to mind—let's discuss!

marvelousmars: I never thought about it before, but it seems to me that it's a kind of compromise. Tank tops form-fitting enough to be "sexy" while still still being functional and plain enough that they feel vaguely empowering, so they can please basically everyone.
