    Modern action movies are like this, but if you go back into the early 80s, and especially 70s, leading men in action movies had normal bodies. Tbh it kind of went down the tube with Stallone and Arnold.

      True! The point I’m trying to get at is that male bodies in drama and comedy are all extremely normal, whereas female bodies in absolutely everything all conform to one particular beauty standard. The male protagonist in any comedy movie is usually extremely normal or even below average while the woman is some absurd standard. There is a very clear difference and the people trying to pretend there isn’t in this thread are either blind or willfully and knowingly lying.
