    Some women might lust over this, but that’s not why they are put there. They are the male power fantasy and are added for the benefit of the guys that watch it.

    There’s a reason most straight women find Loki more attractive than Thor and I’ve seen guys completely blindsided by that because they see everything through the male gaze.

      You’re not right. What’s the proof behind most women finding loki more attractive? Typical terminally online take, so predictable.

        Tell me you’ve never talked to a woman without telling me you’ve never talked to a woman…

        As a woman who has mostly straight friends… I don’t know a single other woman that finds Hemsworth more attractive than Hiddleston. And most women I know would also say Andy Samberg is very attractive. I don’t know many men who would admit that Samberg is attractive.

        Almost universally bodies in media are designed to appeal to men first and women second. There are exceptions, yes, but they are just exceptions.

          Those men haven’t watched Popstar.
