Hello readers welcome back! so I went to the Jack kirby exhibit the past friday to see if any of the panels communicate anything related to what we have talking in these past weeks. I found one that really shows how women and men differ, and in certain ways how they are viewed by society. In the top right panel the women looks vulnerable and the men are in control of the situation even though we know she is invisible women she seems to be accepting the fact that she has been captured and not fighting back. Molly Bang says that the center is always what we focus most on well she is our center of attention and we would expect her to act upon the situation but she just stays. Also, the way she looks she's perfect now flaws even though this comic was printed almost 50 years ago women are already being viewed having to have perfect waists and thin bodies and men being in control of them.
I Could argue that since the artist Jack kirby, a male, could be responsible for portraying a women hypersexualized and influencing others, he should understand that comic books around that era were used as an escapism from all the things surrounding them especially towards kids. He is given kids an image of a hypersexualized person by drawing a perfect woman/men which they see and knowing that they're superheroes they automatically want to become them both physically and morally.
