Why is Gal Gadot half naked and Ryan Reynolds and Dwayne Johnson are fully clothed on the poster?


I can't be the only one who thinks this is sexist and exploitative.

You might be the only one who thinks it matters. It doesn't. Those three people? They all had a choice when this picture was taken. They all made their choice. They are individuals. They are adults.

A surprisingly rational and succinct breakdown.

not much of a choice .
Gets your tits out , or get back in the welfare queue.

She isn't half naked. She is wearing a dress.

Exactly, those are evening wears for formal occasions.

Women's choices are different from men. OP should ask why women choose to wear things like that.

reply

Who gives a shit? My god people suck now.

Let me tell you why…because she’s sexy as hell, and people are more drawn to ANYTHING that has sexy half dressed women on it, thus increasing views, thus increasing profit.

If you’re a straight man and posting this, I pity you.

OP, you are the only one who draws this conclusion. I’m not going to use the word “thinks” to describe you.

OP: I’m sure you’re probably just trolling....but in the off chance you might be serious:

The three people on the movie poster are wearing high end evening attire (tuxedos, evening gowns, that kind of thing). What would you suggest? The men’s suit jackets be sleeveless? Perhaps Gal Gadot should have a turtleneck on?

Gal Gadot is a model, and has made millions doing what she loves: wearing fancy dresses, evening gowns, bathing suits, etc.

No one forced her, or the other two leads in the movie, to wear or do anything they’re not comfortable with. They are not victims. They are very empowered multi-millionaires.

And when did a formal evening gown become “sexist”? Should all dresses from this point on have crew necks or look like something out of a puritanical cult?

Women who choose to wear a beautiful, sexy dress choose to do so, and are empowered to do so. Confidence is sexy...not sexist.

If only Dwayne had consented to putting his wrestling speedo back on...you know, "for old times sake."

reply

because when you hit grade school, you will be taught about sexuality. until then, just ignore it, until you are adult enough to grasp sex.

reply

It's because men are more tuned on by scantly clad women, then women are by scantly clad men. You're an idiot if you think this is sexist.

If Gal Gadot was in a bikini or bra & underwear/sexy lingerie you would have a good argument.

And if you find this offensive, you must have a "great" time with weddings or maybe a movie premiere or award shows like the Oscars or Grammy's since what the three are wearing are how men and women would dress for those events.

The outfits the three are wearing in the posters seems appropriate to use for the poster since I'd say a good chunk of the second act has them in those outfits. It feels like maybe 20-30 minutes of the movie is spent with those three in those outfits and at the one party or whatever you want to call it. Oh and then they have a big 2 on 1 fight in those outfits. And the trailers use quite a bit of footage of them in those outfits as well including some of the 2 on 1 fight.

Actually, Gal Gadot is wearing less in the Wonder Woman posters (and the Wonder Woman movies) than the Red Notice poster. So there is that as well. And where is the backlash about the Wonder Woman posters or even the Wonder Woman movies? I'm guessing we are just going to be selective on stuff?

Oh wait. I got a bigger doozy. What about the Batman V Superman box art for the Blu-Ray? Only skin Ben Affleck is showing is his lower face while Henry Cavill is showing his whole head and hands. Meanwhile you got Gal Gadot in barely anything compared to them. Might as well just have her in her underwear.
