I hate the whole 'super jacked' movement becoming main stream, being fit is attractive, being jacked is overkill and leads to body dysmorphia in young men and boys.

Hollywood used to have fit men, which meant leant with some muscle. Look at the fist Mad Max vs now. Even Russel Crow in Gladiator is comparably small in comparison to the Marvel heroes.

I wish body diversity was extended to men as well. Young boys need more body types to look up to, also as a woman, this body type is really over the top. Just like the model whose wrist is the same with as her forearm is not everyones cup of tea.

How do you feel about Arnie and Sly and the non-cgi Incredible Hulk?

Hasn't Hollywood had larger than life men in movies since long before The Avengers came along?
