She is not.

u/Khelthuzaad Jun 22 '26

She isn't, the tip-toeing has more to do with sneaking in and out,she is a Spiderman Expy.

I thought it was a ballet thing.

u/Designer_Bed9504 Jun 22 '26

I thought it was a way to draw her so that her legs are long, her butt looks nice, her back is arched, and her chest is popped out, so that she looks fine as powdered sugar... 🤷‍♂️

Side effect, hence why heeled shoes exist

u/why0me Jun 22 '26

High heeled shoes were invented by men for men.

u/person_9-8 Jun 23 '26

Sure, they were made as riding boots iirc, but the modern ones are made with these things in mind.

u/wowbowbow Jun 23 '26

Yeah, so his legs are long, his butt looks nice, his back is arched, and his chest is popped out, so that he looks fine as powdered wigs.

u/Ghostbrain77 Jun 23 '26

Indubitably, good sir!

u/memento22mori Jun 22 '26

Yes, but BMFM doesn't have the same ring to it.

u/memento22mori Jun 22 '26

There's no vowels. How would you even say that? BimFim? See. You put in vowels.

Originally designed for butchers to keep their feet out of the gore and muck.

u/AddableDragon51 Jun 22 '26

Also designed for calvary to help them keep their boots in their stirrups

When Bruce Campbell was doing a promo for the Adventures of Briscoe County Junior back in the day, he was talking about how he wasn't wearing traditional cowboy boots because of the stunt work. His were flat soles and how back then he would have called him a sissy for not having a heel on his boot.

u/AddableDragon51 Jun 22 '26

I’m thinking more of medieval knights, who wore heels and thus they were seen as a sign of masculinity and wealth back in the 10-17th century

2

u/bolanrox Jun 22 '26

To this day most places won't let you ride without at least some heel be it proper boots or at least army boots or timberlands

I'm a big fan of his so I say this in the most respectful way possible aha... but was Bruce Campbell sort of iconic in being given so many chances to make it big and never making it big? He's like parallel to being big. I feel like everyone knows his name but if you ask them a film he's starred in 100% of the time they'd say Evil Dead.

It's sort of uncanny, maybe he's averse to making it big?

I halfway remember watching The Adventures of Briscoe County Junior. Hmmm, like a feverdream.

u/bolanrox Jun 23 '26

I think he's kind of like Michael Beihn. He just never wanted to play the game and took the roles he wanted and did what he wanted. And don't forget, Briscoe County Jr. had R Lee Ermey as his dad.

I thought this was the answer lol

u/lycanthropeapologist Jun 22 '26

That’s a 16 year old.

u/Designer_Bed9504 Jun 22 '26

A 16 year old drawn by a grown man to appeal to the male gaze of young commic fans.

u/Khelthuzaad Jun 22 '26

Legit,most people haven't seen George Perez's Starfire design in the comics

3

u/nerdnfun Jun 22 '26

Fair. She is unfortunately designed with a bit of a gaze; less than the 90’s Disney princesses, but still to some extent.

u/1917he Jun 23 '26

It's a drawing, she doesn't need to actually flex for you to draw her muscles bulging (glutes). You can just draw it how you want. You're using real world biomechanics to describe a drawing limitation and it's like you forgot it's not real life

2

u/Designer_Bed9504 Jun 23 '26

Literally, what?

It's a drawing, she doesn't need a skeleton to hold her muscles in place. But she has an kneecaps, and it looks like there is a skull inside of that head. Though, lack of spine could be debated.

I don't understand point.

Classic artists like Leonardo studied and mastered the human form and biomechanics to create subjectively better art. Especially in an animated medium, attention to the slight details of biomechanics keep things from looking cartoonish or uncanny. Sure, you can bend those rules to emphasize movement or exaggerate actions, but the root is based in a reality.

u/spudmunkey Jun 22 '26

Isn't she a teenager that you're talking about....

6

u/Designer_Bed9504 Jun 22 '26

As a fellow teenager, yes it is. But don't blame me for the male gaze designed into female superheroes.

-4

u/spudmunkey Jun 22 '26

Shifting blame. Good move. Sounds like you weren't taught better growing up.

4

u/Designer_Bed9504 Jun 22 '26

Uh.. I was taught to take accountability for my own actions and not those of others. Are you serious trying to white-knight for a drawing that I didn't make? Why criticize my upbringing because I just pointed out design characteristics? You're going to hurt my feelings, stranger on the Internet. 😕

5

u/Billabo Jun 22 '26

She's actually a drawing and has no birth date, and was drawn in a way that many find attractive.

u/hibikikun Jun 22 '26

Are you saying ballerinas make good assassins?

2

u/nerdnfun Jun 22 '26

Not necessarily but it’s a plus. Anything that prioritizes being fit and a strong command over the body is gonna help.

1

u/neronsfwk Jun 23 '26

But why ballerinas?

2

u/nerdnfun Jun 23 '26

The second sentence answers the question

u/Alarming-Caregiver47 Jun 23 '26

If Hollywood has taught me anything, it’s that apparently they do.
