In regards to Natasha, the catsuit never bothered me because Steve's outfit is just as tight.

Plus, Steve gets that NICE pan up his body in The Avengers.

Not to mention all the shirtless scenes we get in the MCU.

I'm fine with skimpy clothes as long as it's equal opportunity is what I'm saying.

If ONLY the ladies are in skimpy clothes (or it's HEAVILY skewed towards them) then...yeah...it starts to become an issue.

How many pan up shots of Steve, Thor, and Clint, and even Tony we got in AoU was amazing. Clearly whoever was doing the filming understood that female (and gay male) gaze is important too.

I have more of an issue with the comics, though, where it really is only about the straight male gaze.

I haven't seen it yet. So I am SO looking forward to this now.

I actually think Pietro got a shirtless scene too, right? I saw a quick gif of him putting on a shirt or something.

I don't begrudge straight males their eye candy. I just want to share the love.

I'm glad that it was balanced.

[philstar22]

Yes, he get one shirtless scene where he was putting on a shirt. And Thor got a nice wet and shirtless scene too.

See it in Imax. It is awesome. I think Cap got the most such shots, but everyone got their share.

"I think Cap got the most such shots"

Well I'm a VERY happy camper now. Thanks!

You know, it's funny, but I watched the alternate opening for The Winter Soldier and as beautifully sad and tragic as it was (and I loved it, no doubt!), I remember being most disappointed by the fact that it included a shirtless Steve scene that the final product didn't. What a missed opportunity!

TOO BAD CHRIS EVANS HATES SHAVING HIS CHEST SO WE CAN'T GET MORE SHIRTLESS STEVE!

[philstar22]

Noooooooooooo. Come on, Evans. If women can shave their legs and other body hair, you can shave your chest hair. Deal with it. Give the audience what it wants.

[kaijinscendre]

Frankly, I'm here for hairy Chris Evans.

[philstar22]

Evans is hot no matter what, but I have a thing for shaved chests on men.

Eye candy, eh? Well, I hope you brought enough for the whole class!

Oh, you did? Awesome. Eye candy all around, everyone!

Don't forget, bruce was shirtless for soild 4-5 minutes

[philstar22]

Oh, right, true. I forget about him because I don't find him attractive at all, so I don't really pay attention in the same way and mostly was watching Natasha during those scenes.

Man, I came out of AOU and phoned my husband to let him know I was on my way home.

"How was it?"
"Good. Pacing was weird, but Mark Ruffalo came out of the shower so I'll call it a win."

An example of movies that I think have issues with depictions of women is NuTrek.

The creators point to Kirk being shirtless, but in both his shirtless scenes, the camera actually lingers FAR longer on the women (green woman and cat twins) -- I actually counted once to check.

And then there's the fact that EVERY female character basically gets shown in undies and some are gratuitously unnecessary.

That's something where I think it's very legitimate to complain.

It might be inspired by a 60s show, but even in those shows, Kirk lost his shirt more often as fanservice for the ladies. They need to balance it more in NuTrek.

The male/female gaze we get in the MCU movies are a thing of glory.

Specifically, the Thor female gaze shots we get, because there's at least one in each movie, I believe.
