X-Man said...: I don't get why its so hard to get her hair color correct lol.

In the first panel the flower in her hair is more the color her hair should be.

The 2nd pic it is a little better colored at least.; March 4, 2024 at 11:32 AM
X-Man said...: I forgot to mention, I do still like seeing the return of Betsy being depicted as intelligent and competent though.; March 4, 2024 at 7:33 PM
Psi-Psi said...: Betsy is so muscular...; March 6, 2024 at 6:07 AM
randybear said...: Yeah I hate this weird masculine fetish they're going for her.; March 6, 2024 at 4:32 PM
Rahsaan said...: She actually doesn’t look any more muscular than many of the times when Joe Madeira drew her in Kwannon’s body and the Hand thong. I do think all the X-Men women should have some degree of muscularity from their physical fitness regimes for the work that they do versus being skinny.

I think her lack of curves may have to do with the way the armor is drawn.

She still looks feminine to me here with her muscularity. I agree with your previous point about the images with her in the helmet from the last issue looking masculine.; March 6, 2024 at 5:10 PM
Rahsaan said...: *Madureira

Yeah, looking at quite a few of these JoeMad renderings, this is far from the first era we’ve seen her depicted as brolic.; March 6, 2024 at 5:26 PM
randybear said...: Yeah I agree about Joe Mad. He gave her such a ripped physique especially when she had the Crimson Dawn lol but I love how he drew her butterfly and the psychic knife; March 7, 2024 at 3:43 AM
Rahsaan said...: @randy, I think most people in real life and characters in drawing look good with some muscle mass, so I never mind characters who are supposed to be at the peak of conditioning looking strong and fit. For instance, I love when Frenzy who is a very muscular character is still drawn that way without looking like the Juggernaut or She-Hulk. Like I like that she is clearly more muscular and taller than the other X-Women as many of these artists don’t differentiate character phenotypes much at all. My favorite depiction of her was in X-Men: Red and before that SWORD. She looked spectacular in those books.

JoeMad’s Psylocke sometimes was out here looking like she was doing multiple T-cycles back to back! Don’t get me wrong, she looked great, but when we talk about Bets looking leaner and muscular these days, his depiction was definitely the most brolic Bets ever. 😅; March 7, 2024 at 11:48 AM
