I don't know anything about the She-Hulk, but I personally love imagining her as a tiny, petite, woman who just EXPLODES into an absolute mountain of muscle the moment she gets pissed and activates her powers.
thats basically how Hulk is too, hes a nerdy guy who turns into a big green monster when hes angry. I dont see why it shouldn't be like that for his female counterpart
yeah or even if they wanted to keep a “tiny girl is strong vibe” they could have it so she can still turn way bigger, it could be like a cool power up or something where she’s small but strong, and then BOOM huge and strongER
Comic wise, at least historically, she doesn't do as much of the exploding in anger and becoming swole. She usually is in her She hulk form. Cause it makes her feel confident if I recall correctly.
The way Lavendertowne made multiple attempts to draw her own business man, just to put a stock image of a business man during the She-Hulk segment is painfully relatable. Then when it's the final pictures he's gone again lol
Her old outfit looks like a bathing suit, I literally thought she was a lifeguard at first. Having a raincoat looking costume is much better in comparison
This reminds me, there was another costume design I really liked, I think it was one of the top fav characters and she was number 10. (It still had its revealing parts though) The costume works with her quirk, covered her up enough & still looked stylish. Plus with the zippers added would of course help if she needs to make something quick 😃 Am I making sense 😅
I was skeptical seeing an attempt to resign Momo in the thumbnail, cause I haven't really seen many attempts I liked... but... The zipper suit idea for Momo is a stroke of genius. Suits her personality and powers. She could even keep the book of components she carries in an inside pocket or something.
Yes. Because when villains are trying to kill you, taking the time to unzip clearly gives Momo the advantage. Let me ask this, who will win? You unzipping or someone pulling the trigger at your face. Test that and see how stupid that is.
Yeah because the zippers do totally won’t get stuck and get her killed because she’s unable to use her powers I wonder what goes on in yall’s minds that make it to where y’all would rather risk that than let her have the outfit she has in anime.
@@Taz-ey4jlits hilarious that you're acting like the potential of a zipper sticking is as detrimental to her battle skills as having her entire chest (and therefore a vital organ) exposed 100% of the time
i remember reading that luisa's designers for encanto fought so hard to give her huge muscles... and disney prepping loads of isabella's figures. luisa ones ended up being dramatically more popular, because honestly, people are tired of seeing small girls everywhere
I wonder if the way Isabella was portrayed in encanto has something to do with it as well Like, I know of a few people who walked away from the movie not liking Isabella and idk how many younger kids (the kind who usually buy dolls) would relate to her story and see her as anything other than unlikable Idk, I’m not trying to disagree, just adding onto op’s comment
The zippers definitely feel like a design the hero tech team would be able to pull out. Mirio gets a costume that stays on him despite his power being intangibility, so it makes sense they should put the same effort into their female heroes.
@@zenebeanthe in universe explanation is that Mirio’s costume stays on bc they made it with his DNA so he doesn’t have to run around naked so I don’t see why the same logic doesn’t apply to Momo(and even Toru who is deadass naked) and they just make her costume out of her dna so the objects she makes go through her costume as well
imagine how wonderful the world would be when hollywood realizes we all want giant muscular women to crush our heads between their thighs and not whatever the heck she hulk is
There really need to be more strong female characters that aren’t just pure hourglass wasp waists. Any gender should have any body type (NOT hating on anyone who actually has that body shape, I just think that it is used too often in female character designs)
"Open back" seems to be really popular for Momo redesigns, but I personally really like the idea of a lose-fitting outfit with a ton of pockets. Half of the pockets are genuine (so Momo has somewhere to put the stuff she creates), but the other half are actually just areas where the fabric is really baggy (to give Momo room to make stuff under her clothes without stretching the fabric) with a slot at the top (to allow Momo access to the stuff she makes under her clothes). From an outsider's perspective, seeing Momo's creation quirk in action would look like she's pulling something out of her pockets.
I ADORE the thicc she-hulk, she looks SO much more like an actual superhuman than just a… green person? Lmao, it just makes way more sense as a design for her to be bigger!
She hulk isn't Luisa. She's She Hulk has been. She's not the hulk size, she's not big and curvy and she definitely doesn't look anything like those strong women. She's slender with a bodybuilders shape.
For Momo i feel like she would never have such a perfect figure thanks to her quirk. Like, she needs fat cells to make stuff so she’d probably be chubbier. Or she’d be unhealthy because she’s expending more than she’s taking in. There’s no way she could have that figure and be that healthy
Yeah if she’s gonna stay skinny they better push it to where it’s obviously negatively affecting her. Like I’m demanding I can see bone outlines. It’d be good for a lesson in nutrition.
@@Izzy_edits_Izzy No one can look at her design and say that it wasnt designed just to sexualize her and uts not even a good character design by default. The colors mix well at all and her skin exposure doesnt balance out anything. Her cloth design just makes it worse
@@seraphywang4638 I guess that is fair enough I feel like it was a good design choice but it just had a very bad execution what's her quirk it kind of does make sense but it was just poorly executed and it started to feel more like a fan service and anything which got the community rattled up and gave Momo's hero outfit a very bad reputation.
I don't understand why they thought a super buff woman wouldn't be liked, they weren't paying attention to the lady D simp period. Everyone kept her muscles in they nasty fanart😭
Yeh, I don't think she needs to be as big as Hulk, but I think they should increase in size as much as his does. Also...Mybe don't make her as annoying as humanly possible, but that's none of my business... 🍵
Hearing Momo's explanation for her powers not being fan service gives me similar vibes to how Metal Gear Solid 5 justifies Quiet's design being very risque and fan servicey
Or how perverts will thoughtlessly defend the design of *literally any loli character* with the old "nono, she's actually 500 years old but only looks like a child, so that toooootally makes it okay" schpiel.
@@TheExpressivePokerFace Oh lol okay! Didn't know lol. Tbh if people could like..look at her hero costume from a more Strategic stance, it shouldn't actually be a problem. Because people saying that its really inappropriate, are the ones technically making it inappropriate. I do think a different approach could have been taken for her costume, but it is a smart idea considering her costume breaking all the time isn't very good. But just my opinion! And I apologize if I was like rude or anything, never my intent.
I actually love the idea of Momo having zippers on her outfit that she just rips open when she needs to create something on a certain body section! And the idea of her fighting in a ballerina-esque style is really cool; imagine her spinning around enemies whilst shooting out explosives or throwing stars from her legs and toes - BADASS.
I think instead of a massive hole on the front of her outfit, it would have made more sense to have it on her back. This way there wouldn't be constant fan-service of a minor, and in the scene where she created a massive tarp, her clothes wouldn't be in the way thus wouldn't get ripped. I also think having a constant hole instead of a zipper would be better since zippers sometimes get jammed. Also on the topic of fan-service, I think it's okay as long as the characters aren't minors, the characters aren't being exposed against their will, and there is an equal amount of fan-service of both male and female characters.
@@matthewwatson5029 yeah, I guess zippers could get tricky...however, the back being open definitely makes sense as she'd be able to create bigger and/or more powerful objects. And if not zippers, potentially some velcro-like material? To be honest, I'm not super against her having an open chest if it wasn't literally her whole front half. I could see it working in terms of appropriation if it was a sort of v-neck thing or a boob-window shirt where a little bit of cleavage is shown as opposed to almost both her boobs.
Imagine if Sisu was modeled like a actual statue, like instead of the realistic fur hair stuff she would look glossy and shiny. Her eyes/scales could kinda pop off her base, like they were glued on. Heck, they could even make it so when she walks/moves it sounds like porcelain knocking against the ground. It would make her and the other dragons stand out a lot more, and it would look super cool
Yoooo, that idea is lit! That would've been so cool and it would've fit into the movie's half-baked-awful message/plot of "Trust". If she looked like that she would've been intimidating and harder to trust as she might fall a little into uncanny valley (everyone hates moving statues). It sucks that people who got paid actual real money couldn't have thought of something like this.
LavenderTowne’s Momo redesign reminded me of the rules in bnha: the pro-hero and UA teacher, MidNight, at one point had an extra revealing hero outfit back when she was still 14-16 years old. It was so revealing that The Hero Commission came out with a dress code that hero’s of all ages had to ad-hear to. MidNights outfit, I kid you not, was just a utility belt, a pair of sunshades, and a blazer. Admittedly. MidMight stated that she regretted her decision and was being naive. But idk how on earth Momo’s costume doesn’t violate the dress code. I know that Momo and MidNight do have a strong student-teacher relationship. MidNight giving Momo confidence and cheering her on, encouraging her to be a good leader. And in turn, Momo looks up to MidNight. But Momo is super sophisticated. So it’s beyond me why she’d choose that outfit. Maybe it’s a similar situation to Uraraka. There could be a possibility that Momo didn’t really know what her outfit should look like, nor what materials it should be made out of. So she wrote down a list of things that she needed her outfit to do and then sent it to a hero costume design agency. But due to her being vague. She got something that she didn’t want. I don’t know. It’s really hard to justify her hero outfit. There’s not enough cannon excuses to serve as justification for her costume design. Edit: Horikoshi, at some point. Made concept art of a different hero costume for Momo. A two piece, which is surprisingly not as revealing.
@@Oxnugget well now I’m just surprised, curious, and even more confused... So unless Momo sent in something similar to the concept art, what could she have possibly sent them that was SO bad that her current hero costume isn’t violating the dress code?
@@mintymimics213 prolly those sticky bra cup things that just rest on the skin and very short shorts with a utility belt of some kind for that stupid bookshelf thing she’s got going on. That’s like the worst version I can think of.
She was a big hero fan, and probably got heavily inspired by midnight when she was thinking of a costume design. Even tho she acts mature she’s still a naive teenage fan girl who is easily influenced by those she looks up to. Honestly I was wondering why she didn’t wear a hoop skirt or hollow ballgown like thing maybe even a really big coat when I saw her quirk in action.
@@sunflowersuccs like, seriously! The main rival's super power is sweat that explodes, there's a guy with biological propulsion systems in his legs, the crowd shots are *noted* (at least by me) for how wild and occasionally detailed its background characters can look. So _why_ is the lady who *wields the power of creation via her own body fat* just... Some lady with a kinda skimpy outfit? Like, even setting aside the (hopefully) obligatory "that girl is in high school what are you _doing_ character designer?" That's *such* a missed opportunity!
@@elenafriese891 seriously! Im so happy I finally found someone whos been thinking the same thing as me! Like theres also a lady who makes people laugh as a way to fight, theres an orca-man too! Theres so many weird and funky quirks and characters so they really let us down with Momo, she has so much potential but they threw it all away by making her so fan service-y :((
I really like the Momo one! I love the idea for the weighted dress, how you described the way it worked with her quirk made a lot of sense! I also love the idea of pulling the hoodie straps to expose her back to be able to create something like in the scene shown in the video. Great series, I'd love to see more of these types of videos!
@@olderalt.4066 She mostly creates small objects from her arms and legs, and even when she creates a large enough object for huge skin access to necessary, she does it by destroying the back of her costume. I can't remember her actually needing her boob window. A leotard without a back and maybe some side/belly windows (for fat access) would be more functional than the thing she has now.
I dont know if anyone mentioned this but the power girl panels you showed are actually kinda true. I dont remember the designers' names off the top of my head, but the creator of the character drew her on a napkin and left a circle where her symbol would be. He sent the design to an actual artist, and the artist happened to have worked on some **adult** comics in the past, so he misinterpreted the empty circle as a boob window. Just kinda a fun fact!
Another fun fact is that the original artist Wallace Wood, was convinced that his editors were not paying attention to the work he was producing, so he decided to have a bit of fun. He began drawing Powergirl's boobs slightly bigger than in the previous issue, with the purpose being to see how long it would take for anyone to notice. It takes around 7 to 8 issues before an editor started to question why had Powergirl's chest gotten so big, and that's the size they stayed at going forward.
I know lavender doesn't like it when sexy characters get these explainations for their design but tbh I strongly disagree with using power girl as an example since her choice of having a boob window is more thematic and relates a lot to how she views herself and the world rather than anything practical. These characters are near invincible, the chest symbol really doesnt have any practical use other than as a sign of their beliefs. And power girl has always been a character who wanted to seperate herself from the other heroes to the point of occasionally being an anti-hero/villian. I get that it was written after the design was made but it doesn't change the fact that it was a good decision that fleshes out the character more. Imo its acceptable, even great, as long as the outfit a character is wearing has themes, character, or story tied to it, regardless of practicality. Senor Pink from one piece is one of my favorite example of this.
@@jojo11254 I see where you're coming from, but at the same time the part where the logo was could've just been blank; they could've had the suit not have a boob window and still get the point across
I love hottopic Momo's fancy zippers lol theyre so much more her style than my velcro idea. And imo your ballerina design isnt that far off something she'd wear seeing as most of her personal clothes are stereotypical "old money" fancy. Idk WHAT they were thinking with her hero costume lmao
I could never get the design for Yaoyorozu’s hero outfit. She can already make things with her arms exposed, yet she needs to open her chest window to make things like ladders and scarves, and also makes some things using her back even though that part is not exposed.
If she really needed an open chest couldn't she use a trans tape like material but made for sports? Then just add the same thing over her collar like lavendertowne did It would fix most of her issues and still wouldn't be fan service-y
iirc, the reason she needed to use her back to make the blanket thing (my mind is blanking on the actual thing she made) because it was a big item and also had to protect against kaminari's electricity quirk. not trying to excuse anything, just explaining the context of the situtation from what i remember
@@gayceofspades That's not excusing anything. If the situation necessitates a unique result due to the size of the construct, that's just in-line with the established laws of the function. If Momo could just pop-out these huge constructs from her hand, there'd be a way less balanced quirk. And if there are less grounded rules for an OP function, the character becomes overpowered, and harder to get invested in. Making fight scenes with said character less tense, because there are less limits on the character's power.
@@greco-romano9852 I say "not trying to excuse anything" as a precaution because many times I've explained that situation before and gotten heated replies saying I was excusing it lol. MHA fans are scary sometimes....
@@gayceofspades Nah yeah, I figured. Folk jump to conclusions and create an anti-bias before even hearing a fully fleshed-out thought. If there's a conversation to be had, it should be tackled like it's a coming conversation-- not like it's an off-hand statement. One implies a begining to a narrative, the other is a packaged-and-shipped idea.
9:10 apparently the design team *wanted* to have shehulk be big and muscular but the directors said she "needs to be smaller" so go figure, its "women cant be strong" again
I appreciate the Mineta slander Also, flowy clothing is actually very momo! She’s shown wearing mainly lightweight lacy clothing outside of her uniform and hero costume, besides a few outfits that are more traditionally Japanese :) An entirely separate rant- I think momos original costume doesn’t make sense with her character. She’s very shy and insecure in many ways, and logically she’d probably go with a back window. She also has a bookshelf on her back, which,,, like,,, yeah. So with that book, the idea is that the book is written by her and has all the molecular formulas she needs. However, when she’s such a practical character, it would make more sense in their semi-futuristic world if she had some sort of smart watch type device instead.
Yeah, the backless outfit would make the most sense in terms of keeping things modest (She's a young girl, and also... let's be hounest, Any girl would look at that fit and *know* that any sudden move would make her chest pop right out) It's just straight-up impractical. What I would have LOVED, is if they stick with that costume design, but she struggles and complains about it, and then later that year (when everyone is getting their proper suits) she gets a *real* costume she can wear. And it's such an improvement and you can see her growth really explode once she finds a fit that accommodates *her*, not the other way around. oh no... but that would actually be a good value for young girls.... :( Never mind, scrap that.
but I feel like instead of silver and light blue, gold and that velvety red color would be better for her. keep the flowy stuff, but I actually really think those colors match good with her character and that kind of almost responsible, regal thing she's got going on instead of colors more for someone with a more really energetic and bubbly personality.
11:09 and Luisa from Encanto being so popular that they were short on her dolls and ended up with backstorage of the more conventionally attractive Isabela. Disney, I KNOW you KnOw that people get behind large women.
8:05 Actually the gold on most nagas are jewelry to show just how mighty they are. Unlike Sisu, they're reverred gods. One thing the movie got right though is that they aren't usually associated with fire, as most South East Asian nagas have more of an association with water, crops, and agriculture in general. They're a very fun thing to look into.
Tossing in my two cents for the character designs. I really like the Momo solution, the zippers and back flap is super creative! Another possible solution I've seen people talk about, is meshing made from her hair, it's organic/part of her so it should be possible for things to pass through. Even though I liked Raya and was in love with the art, the dragon designs are very generic. I feel like the original concept design would've been perfect. Given that Sisu is based on several mythological snakes and dragons and not just the naga and is a water dragon the eel/koi/catfish combo fits like a glove. For She-Hulk I love the way you redesigned her, giving her a more sensible body shape for a 'female hulk', she looks like she could bench press Thor now and not the Party-City green body paint of before.
Let's be honest here, the "Hot Topic solution" would be very in character for Momo. She's smart and classy, and Haley's design for it just looks great with her I love Momo but god her canon hero outfit just makes me want to sob 😭 And on Sisu, the problem with Sisu's blue color is that the blue's in naga statues are more vibrant and saturated, majority of the time you see hints of yellow/gold/red too. Really wished Sisu's design stuck to the concept where she had hints of hot pink, very flowy hair and tail, intricate patterning on her bottom half, and horns. It's farr more accurate to what nagas look like. Oh plus, strong and big women supremacy. Come on Disney everyone LOOOVED Luisa don't be a coward let She Hulk be big and stonk and wide.
The problem with Momo’s redesign is it doesn’t (properly) account for the MASSIVE creations she has to make (like a cannon heavy enough to slow down a power transformation type quirk)
it also doesn't account for zipper jamming. Having a hole in her back doesn't give her easy access to her creations. You can't cover her skin without giving problems to her quirk use. So the only solution would be to change her quirk
@@darkrl591 The ballerina redesign would also work with literally one tweak in character. Have her tell her friends that her parents wanted her to do something productive with her free time growing up. Fits the rich kid side, could be tied into her loneliness if you say she was privately tutored, and could play into her inferiority complex by having her be naturally gifted but now she is just a normal fish in a normal pond. The more write the more I think I want to create a fanfic where this is added.
Honestly why not just take the Raven route with Momo's outfit, just have a cloak that will cover the easily tearable leotard and it might even give protection
@@missmarshmallow5775 but there would be no point if your protection keeps getting grabbed at, it will be wasted on replenishing. I still agree most things are still way more practical than her canon outfit
Your Sisu is gorgeous! As someone from South Asia I really wish the movie's Sisu had looked more like yours, it really captures the style and vibrancy of what our classic statues look like!
I didn't even know about she-hulk but omfg the anger ppl felt is valid. Just looking at their version of she-hulk was rage inducing. Why can't they just make a big strong women. The waisted potential is palpable.
I love the idea of Momo who is a typically strong epic character, wearing cute frilly dresses. Ballet requires a lot of muscle and training, so it would still suit her. Also I stan your she-hulk design. She is cool, curvy and gorgeous!
My problem with Momo's character design goes past just her outfit. In the manga her and Ochako are chubbier, And they completely changed that for the anime...
This right here! Her and Ochako were canon chubby and still looked cute and beautiful. When they were animated, all of that was scrapped and thrown out the window. In the Manga, the body proportions are way more realistic and very respectful to sizes and body shapes. I agree her outfit is pretty oversexualized, but to completely ignore her canon body type is really hurting her character and who she is.
@@HiBuddyyyyyy exactly! A better fat buildup would help her make more things with her quirk, but from what I understand the anime thought that that would take away from her 'appeal' 😡
there weight is inconsistent and most of the panels people bring up to prove there arguments are closer to being errors then there actual normal proportions.
I never noticed the human eye thing until you mentioned it. I always wondered why the animals in older barbie movies gave me weird vibes. Especially the turtle. Obviously their colors aren't realistic but I'd see them and my little girl brain would be like, "yeah that's normal!...?"
I always thought Momo would best be served with a sports bra/ form fitting crop top And matching shorts. Boom she has her whole midsection, legs, and arms open for her quirk and shes resonably modest.
the light fury, would love to see ya tackle that one. its been years and i'm still slightly salty about her design (especially when the first design attempt was damn near perfect, just needed tweeking) maybe the night lights too? they're also fugly af lol no hate to those who like their design tho! not trying to start discorse we all have out own view of things
Yeah again the light fury focuses on femininity and grace, rather than realism. Just like the she-hulk original design. The light fury should be more big, like most female reptiles, she should be strong, she should be rough, and she should be more I don’t know- realistic as toothless. Of course he’s a male so the stereotype is to make him big, with tons of claws and scales etc- (I personally don’t agree with the stereotypes because it’s a fricken Animal, and animal sexual dimorphism is different then humans) they should definitely change her design
@@felixsfreckles6822 yes, one of httyd best qualities was the way their dragons looked like animals that could have for their environment, the flying nocturnal predator would be all black to blend in with the nightsky theres no reason like this for any of the light fury's design choices, she could have been light blue on the stomach for hunting in the day and then white on top cause Light furies nest on mountain tops, she might be all white cause Light Furies live in tundras which would explain the difference between Night and Light furies as a brown versus polar bear thing but this isnt reflected in any other parts of her design because all choices were made with the goal of making her look like toothless' girlfriend, so shes smaller, has a shorter wingspan and tiny ears despite none of that being advantageous for survival also the design is just boring, and the sexual dimorphism seen in reptiles and birds would have been way more interesting to see than what we got
@@komiccomik4796 well, toothless was kinda more based on a cat/dag more than a reptile (behavioural wise anyway) and his facial features were pretty much poached from Stitch (I think I read somewhere about the same designer working on them both?). I have no problem with the light fury really, I found the white they used so satisfying, and I'm happy with them being similar sizes cus it's good to be more equal in a relationship. I know he's an animal but he's also a character too. He's a person. We don't have to get too accurate, the animal kingdom's a brutal place where half the females eat or lay eggs in their mates when they're done 😅 Of course my opinion won't be your opinion and the design is very subjective. It would have been pretty neat to see a different interpretation so here's to whichever alternate universe got to see that😂
I’m literally obsessed with Momo’s hoodie string idea it’s so perfect and easy to use in the midst of battle I love MHA and am always so upset with her design so it’s refreshing
Careful, a guy called taz-e4jl or somethin is this comment section criticizing people for liking the momo redesign justifying it not working well at all (probably trying to cover up his desire for the sexualized costume), I pray he doesnt find yours
It’s really sad tbh with the situation with momo I actually loved her character when I watched the anime but I wished her outfit was different like there’s soo many different ways she could use her quirk without looking like a fan service character which I like about you design/ver because I allows her to use a quirk without looking like the definition of a fan Service character.
@@SeraphOfTheStone Idk how they look super skinny? I mean, they've never been shown to have any bodily disorders or something in the anime, so this just comes off as body-shaming for being thin. Given that their body types are common irl.
I disagree. As a teen girl myself, I personally don't think showing a little cleavage is fan service - it's only sexual in context. Breasts and showing skin aren't inherently sexual in most contexts anyway, I wish we could normalize human bodies rather sexualize them 😓
@@renaria3160To add those body types are common especially on the eastern side of the world and sometimes Europe, it depends on portions in said country
I LOVE THIS VIDEO! THANK YOU! I feel like everyone's biggest issue with momo is the excuses and her age. "Well she needs things to come out of her skin!" but Bakugo literally wears gloves. And also she's a child. And I'm sick of people sexualizing children.
Its also very ironic that Mirio's suit was customized to his quirk so he doesn't get naked whenever he uses it and yet Momo hasn't considered it, she's from a rich family and is intelligent so she would have known about that being a thing. She could've utilized it for her hero costume but alas not :/
@@SeraphOfTheStone yeah its almost like if the designer really wanted to they can make an excuse for a character not showing skin or vice versa and the explanation for momos power is exactly the same as the "she looks like a child but is 500 years old" thing because momo is fictional and her powers and costume work the way the creator wants them too and it is not actually that hard to come up with a different explanation. momos outfit looks that way not because of her power, but because thats what the designer wanted.
Bakugo is unironically one if not my favorite chacter designs works on a meta and a normal story reason while still showing off the chacter to the audience Literally none of that goes into momo
Sisu’s design bothered the whole time I watched it, the main thing for me was the lack of reptilian features, there are many types of dragons and it varies from place to place, but the ONE thing that’s always there is that they’re reptiles, they’re scaly and such. But Sisu is fluffy all over, and doesn’t resemble any depictions of dragons I’ve ever seen. I love the design you made for all the characters though.
Momo can only make things out of the fat on her body, so it would’ve probably been more realistic to have her a bit chubbier, but then again, if her fat is turning into things there wouldn’t be much left over, kinda like fatgum, idk, this was just a thought I added to as I wrote. I really love your hero outfit’s for her.
Disney: we’re gonna make an overpowered woman superhero to prove we’re not sexist. Intern: Oh cool, does that mean we give a buffer physique to match her strength despite the fact that it might not be seen as conventionally attractive? Disney: woah now lets not go crazy. Misogyny is part of our charm.
I just came back to this channel after a long time and I'm so surprised! The new intro is amazing and I feel like you're getting more comfortable in your videos, I'm glad to be back ^^
the dragon color pallet feels like it should have more to it, as it is a bit boring, but I think that, since she's like "swimmer dragon", cool colors with a bit of black and white and silver, along with a bit of that very 'shy green', would be pretty cool for the pallet color and your design would match perfectly
1:01 so the school can make a suit OFF OF THE DNA OF A CHARACTER WHO CAN PHASE THROUGH WALLS TO ALLOW HIM TO WEAR HIS CLOTHES and they can't give her that suit nor make anything new that she can use to push things out of her body
what's sad is that the fact that at the beginning of Ray and the Last dragon, the dragons are introduced with a really cool style, super stylistics and colorful! Sisu was introduced with beautiful yellows and blues and I am so sad that those colors were not used : (
LavenderTowne explaining everything with her beautiful voice is just calming, She never tries to rush and always explain things with details. And whenever I look at her art I don't just look at it, you can actually feel the vibe and understand what she is trying to do which also proves that she is dedicated. Her art is thoughtful and beautiful. She is amazing ❤️❤️❤️
I really like Momo's second dress. It's super cute, and I agree, it would be fun watching stuff fall out from it magical girl style instead of it simply being ripped off!
When she was redesigning Sisu I told my little cousin that that’s what Sisu looked like before she was about to watch the movie, she said “ eww, what is that thing” and I said “ that’s the dragon from the movie” . She didn’t watch the movie after that lmao
Ofc it’s okay to give characters revealing outfits but most people don’t wanna see characters that are supposed to be 15 years old with a gigantic boob window and no pants. Like that’s just creepy. She’s borderline naked when the creator could’ve done smth else with her design that’s still cute.
@@impasta1682 that don’t even make sense?? What are you talking ab? “Why is it ok for someone to design revealing stuff but not show the revealing stuff?” Can u explain..
South Asian here - I absolutely love Sisu's redesign! The added details and different eyes really stood out to me and really felt more like a Naga. The change of colour palette is really great too, and adding the gold accents to the blue was a very nice choice. Gold colours in Nagas are extremely common.
What’s really bothering me is the Light Fury’s design from How to Train your Dragon: The Hidden World. She’s so feminine and doesn’t even resemble a reptile and doesn’t really fit the theme of the entire franchise. Cause why the hell is she glittery? Dean Deblois said in an interview is that it pertains to her cloaking ability and I call it bullsh*t if you ask me because to me, it’s just an excuse to feminize her. And if you look closely at her forehead, she has a heart shaped mark. Why does a dragon have that?? She really doesn’t have visible scales either. Why can’t people just make a female animal character without them actually being feminized to a T. They really feminized her just because she’s Toothless’s love interest and that was literally like half the plot. And she really is JUST THAT, a plot device.
I honestly don't understand why did they have to do that all the female dragons looked the same as the male ones throughout the franchise, WHY did they have to do this when designing light fury 🙄
@@miss.mirana4061 Exactly! Like they completely gave up on her design. I’ve seen the concept art of the DeathGrippers and the Crimson Goregutter and they looked absolutely beautiful. They went all out for the design of the DeathGrippers and they were gorgeous. Why can’t they put more time and effort into making female characters. She’s a dragon, she’s supposed to have scales, tiny cuts, worn out claws, atleast SOME evidence that she lived in the wild. They made her so smooth that she looks like an unrendered Baluga Whale. A female animal is more than big, saturated blue eyes and pink sparkly skin. I was so disappointed. I can’t believe DreamWorks went down the feminized animal trope.
I just think she has smaller scales that are less noticeable, in nature scales come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. I actually adored her design and I usually hate the feminized versions of things but she kinda basically just hit all my happy buttons for designs.
I have a special hate to people who need to "feminize" (Turn color palate to a white (or a brain rotting pink), give eyelashes, make chest look larger because they just NEED those, and take away anything cool because girls don't do cool things 😃) characters, _especially_ *ANIMAL* characters.
I watched a couple videos on the topic of Raya and the Last Dragon and how it was supposed to be the first Southeast Asia princess/disney movie and how they completely missed the mark on it and didn't give the country and culture good representation at all. This shows a lot in Sisu's design. The dragon statues are gorgeous but they had to dumb the design down just to make it "marketable." Which is funny because every toy or merchandise I've seen of Sisu looks hideous imo lol. Also I absolutely love your Momo design, I wish Japan didn't make so much fan service and just made genuinely cool costume designs like that for the characters in that show.
You know what they say, the hate and love are on the same spectrum. And something just need a little bit of love. The flowy look and spinning fits me / Lillie oddly enough abit but I can see her do it for more of a fun occasion
Disney had literally no reason to design Sisu as if it had to face the limits of traditional animation because THEY DID FRICKIN’ MAUI A FULL BODY TATTOO. She might’ve actually looked cute in 2D, but in 3D all the magic gets sucked off the look.
I love your takes!!! Momo’s Hot Topic dress seems so much more fitting for her character than the “would never work IRL” swimsuit. It also looks cooler and more technical, and she’s a very smart and technical gal so it fits!! And I ADORE your She Hulk! A big stronk lady absolutely dwarfing full grown men is absolutely my aesthetic lol. And as a gal with a stocky build myself, Even at my healthiest (when I had a lot of muscle and not too much fat) my waist was thicker than a lot of other people I knew. So I like that you made her broader and stockier. It really fits her!
In BnH there's a scene where Midnight explains why some heroes wear revealing outfits... Just feels like author making excuses why most female characters have sexual outfits
So respectful, it's like saying better luck next time but literally in the nicest way possible like still complimenting their work but pointing out mistakes in a light hearted way. I love your character designs I consider them literally perfect- Edit: 9:10 I also really hate it when humans put their expectations of women onto other species-
I love your Momo redesign! I always thought that her costume was a little too extreme, especially for a teenage girl- the zippers are a great idea. I think even her canon design would be 10 times better if they literally slapped a zipper on her top. As for other characters that bother me, I think Hagakure also from MHA could use a few tweaks. She's literally n@ked with only gloves and boots, that literally provides her with no protection at all. Her design and character concept as a whole make me really uncomfortable, I'd love to see what you could do with that
I heard that they had to fight Disney to give Luisa from Encanto her muscles. I don’t know why we can’t have more strong women. Disney stfu and give us big women
I love how Lavendertowne is super nice and just talks pretty objectively about the designs etc and then the editing is so sarcastic and bitter sometimes it’s hilarious
I remember seeing some concept art for yaoyorozu and her costume eas just her wearing a top with just her waist fully exposed, and would have really liked that design more tbh.
11:28 Well thats really stupid, didnt Abomination do the same thing in the original hulk movie? That that guy *literally* turned into a monster. It looks like they just put green body paint on the actress and called it a day- 😒
Noticing your design of Sis, I realized something very obvious now. They made Sisu look human so that she'd be more marketable to children, especially those who would probably think "Omg she's so cute!" because they're afraid of what actual dragons look like.
1. How do you even think of a human when looking at sisu? 2. Coming from someone who thinks sisus design is super cute. I've seen what real dragons look like and wasn't scared at all
@@thadmaster7 My remark on Sisu looking human comes from this video I'm pretty sure or someone else's remark, it's literally been eight months, but I'm talking about how companies prefer to make anything that *could* be scary, look overly adorable. I don't really care for Sisu's design either way, it was just my thoughts on the matter
Part of the reason I decided not to watch She-Hulk was because they were trying to be feminist, but didn’t have the courage to make her actually a large woman. It’s an issue I had with the character for awhile, even though she is one of my favourite marvel heroes. ((Just make her look like a green Louisa from Encanto!!)) Which is why I loved the segment on She Hulk so so much!! She looks great!! :D
Hey, new 3d animator here. On the more detail thing, that works if it's flat detail, it's easier to put patterns and all that when it's draw separate, but extra add on things can be super annoying as you have to rig them up and the animators have to think about how they'd interact with the environment. Not something I realised till I've started but it's harder than you'd think to add extra details to 3d characters
I love the technical approach that was taken for Mimi’s design. When Sisu was being redesigned, it remained me of the Netflix movie Wish Dragon. The bright pink and fuzzy dragon didn’t fit that character’s personality or backstory at all. Also, another perspective for the Sisu design would be to consider her human form. When she is a human, she resembles the actress who voices her. It would have been cool if the human form of Sisu was also redesigned. Overall, this video was great and has a lot of character design knowledge put into it:)
I love how lavendertowne redesigned Momo’s outfit because I was so sick and tired of searching her up and seeing everyone sexualsizing a teenager which absolutely boils me I was so happy that she also keeps respectful to the point of the creator overall I loved theses redesigns :)
The She-Hulk miss fire really reminds me of Disney's Encanto problem with Luisa. The artists had to FIGHT to get their design for her through, because Disney claimed that it wasn't feminine enough and no one would like her or find her attractive, wanting her to look more like Isabelle. In fact, they even went as far as to make extra merch for Isabelle and Mirabel, thinking that they would be more favored over Luisa. Luisa ended up being the most popular of the 3 and they were scrambling to keep up with the demand for her toys and stuff lol The same thing happened with Frozen too! They thought Anna would be the post popular sister, and had to scramble to keep up with demand on Elsa merch lol
Momo's 1st drawing that ya did is great! Just would need a touch screen gauntlet to replace that book holster belt thing (I have absolutely no idea how that book stays in place) and she'd be golden.
The reason that She Hulk looks different then Bruce in the comics is because gamma mutations often reflect the inner desires of a person as well as how a person views themself. Hulk is Bruce's angry inner child who hates himself for not being able to protect himself and his mother from his abusive father so he manifests as a giant green rage monster that gets stronger as he gets angrier. Abomination has issues with self loathing and views himself Jen didn't have that psychological trauma/issues that Bruce or Blonsky has. Instead she has self esteem issues so her She-Hulk form manifests as a sexy, strong Amazon like woman which brings her confidence and allows her to showcase her wit and charm in a confident manner. I actually like Sisu's design but watching you design a new one was fun as well. I think your design for Momo is my favorite.
