Well, at least you're consistent. I'll give you that. I still disagree with your comments about WW's attire though. Though not completely practical, it's still more practical than majority of superhero outfits out there.

The resent crop of Marvel movies have toned down the hyper-sexual female costumes of the comic books. In part, because they'd look ridiculous in real life. Perhaps if DC had made the WW movie a little more campy, they might have gotten away with it. The dour, serious tone of the movie did not mesh well with the sex-kitten outfit. Reminded me too much of the Baby Doll get-up in Sucker Punch.

An armored corset, leather kilt and armored arm/shin guards are way way more practical in a fight than the tight leather coats that Hawkeye and Scarlet Witch wear. Not only do those leather coats offer almost no protection, they also severely hamper movement and are pretty hot besides. Even Gamora's tight leather suit would be very impractical in a fight. In short, they serve no other function than to be pleasing to the eye.

Now I've never complained about whether MCU costumes were realistic or not, but if you want to start complaining about WW's costume being sexual then I will point out that it's a lot more practical in a fight than majority of MCU costumes.

Besides, a woman who grew up in an all-female community wouldn't exactly worry about modesty. When you're in a fight, modesty is pretty low on your list of priorities.
