leavethesky: edwardspoonhands: sarahexplosions: i’m not over this shot, and i don’t think i’m going to be over it for a very long time. because everyone’s seen this shot. Superman pull open his shirt to reveal the not-S. i’ve seen it a thousand times, it’s kind of iconic. but not everyone’s seen a woman do it. and it matters to me to see a woman tear away her civilian clothes so she can protect people. i’m getting a tv show about a girl who can fly. The thing that gets me is that every other time I’ve ever seen a woman rip her shirt off, it has been in some way about the woman as the object of beauty and desire. This is very clearly and intentionally not that. It would have been very easy to make it some mix of badass and hot, but instead this is just badass. In almost all media, when a woman strips, she loses power. Here, she strips to unleash it. -- source link
