Re: Fictional creatures and their wonky anatomy

[(Anonymous)]

For me, it's the boobs on non-mammal aliens. I guess mermaids too, but I was thinking about the Star Wars aliens where they canonically lay eggs and everything else reads amphibian or reptile and just, why do the women have breasts? (Besides the obvious.)

That reminds me of this comic: http://i.imgur.com/mqbVlfC.png

Yeah, that drives me crazy too. It just really drives home the "females must be hot", or perhaps "if I don't KNOW she's a female because boobs then ??????" or whatever underlies those decisions.

Drove me crazy in Avatar, too. It's way too obvious when the alien ladies are more fap material than alien ladies.

What drove me crazy in Avatar was the lack of diversity in the wildlife. Everything looked kind of samey to me. I know they had to make it feel unified somehow, but it was supposed to be this amazing feat of worldbuilding (at least visually) and it just didn't live up to that for me.

Re: Fictional creatures and their wonky anatomy

I never got the crazy worldbuilding praise for Avatar. It honestly didn't impress me much, and I didn't see what the big deal was. Like you said, a lot of the fauna looked samey, and so many elements of the environment - like the floating mountains - just looked gimmicky to me.
The worlds on Interstellar, for all that they were WAY simpler, were more interesting to me.

Yeah, I never noticed it much when I was a kid but as I got older and I saw boobs on reptilian-ladies(for example) I'd find myself going 'wat' because there's no reason for it.

...I'm reading bottom to top so I saw this after Sarillia's comment but I agree so damn hard w both of you.

I feel I would be remiss if I didn't post a link to this Order of the Stick comic.

Also, Argonians have already been mentioned, but speaking of Elder Scrolls beast races, it seems like Khajiit women should have at least four breasts, if not six, seeing as how they tend to have litters. Although how they manage that considering how they're bipedal and about the same size as humans, or at least the type we actually see in-game are, that is (apparently their appearance differs based on how their birthdates correspond to the moon cycles). Maybe their kittens are all just exceptionally tiny at birth, and that's how they manage to safely have so many at once? I don't know, and I have a feeling that I shouldn't think too hard about it. Down that path lies madness. And skooma. Mmm, skooma...
