10-12-16 Hired muscle

[Giz]

New strip! http://www.ma3comic.com/strips-ma3/hired_muscle

I can see where this is going. And I must say I find Roxie to be particularly attractive because my eyes weren't completely pulled toward the last panel.

I doubt this would work. Didi is too nice to play a heel type. I doubt she'd be able to act mean

[Spidrift]

Well, that was easy to predict (in broad outline).

As to DiDi's niceness - can anyone say dumb muscle?

And on the attractiveness - we all have our tastes. Me, I find Brandy the distracting one here.

Well now, I look forward to seeing the edited version in vol. 8.

Brandy & Didi are clearly the more attractive/dynamic looking. Roxie looks good for sure but the other are statuesque.

If you ever seen Steven Universe, the nice ones can play a good heel sometimes, hehe.

You and me both, though honestly I don't personally find Didi that attractive anyway

[Spidrift]

DiDi is a joke about what men "traditionally" find attractive in women. She's a caricature at the expense of men - or really, mostly, at the expense of teenage boys. Brandy and Sonya push the buttons in question without mashing them with the comedy hammer.

got to say

if we called Jeannie Mai to make a makeover for Roxx, more people would go like this



she seems to avoid makeup as much as possible (which I actually find refreshing )

/interest piqued a bit

[Cortez]

So DiDi would be the Kevin Nash to Roxie's Shawn Michaels?

[wiseguy]

I think is more like Didi is right now set to be Yankem and protector of Jerry Lawler around 95 ( but Yankem eventually became the more famous character Kane )

Well now, I look forward to seeing the edited version in vol. 8.

Yeah, that looks like a "nipps will be reinstated in the book" panel if I've ever seen one...

Contrary to popular myth, actual men's (no, not boys) personal tastes differ as much as women's tastes do. Some like heavy chests, some like moderate, some like no chests at all. Some focus on legs instead. Others on butts, small, medium, and large. Some like dark skin, some like light, regardless of what their own is. Still others focus on height, or overall weight, both big or small. (note, we're focusing on physical appearance, mental is a whole new can o worms that's just as varied)

So yeah, you can easily find multiple men who would each find women in these strips attractive, and others who would find them unattractive. Didi is no exception to either position. If she's a caricature, it's of the old myth that all men in existence only want one specific type. Doesn't mean that she's not attractive to some.

Back to the actual strip plot, I think Didi can eventually be talked into the part... eventually. She'd have to finally come to grips that wrestling is just a physical form of acting, like a play with off-the-top-rope stage direction. And hey, coming in as 'hired muscle' for a heel to claim the local title belt? That's a pretty dramatic entrance for an actor to be introduced on, lot of lucrative potential for Didi there.
