Cover her chest and shorten her skirt. Problem solved.

Being a comic book character, with a long history of costumes, I wonder if she did any research in how she looked.
She talked about how she was the only one with cleavage. Then named Tessa (who wasn't in the movie) and Scarlett. She must not have had any scenes with Black Widow because her top has been zipped down since Iron Man 2. She's just working with less than she use to.

I did notice that out of all of the women in the film she wasn't covered up.
Even Black Widow didn't show cleavage.

Not sure why she's complaining when she showed a lot more cleavage in Old Boy, I'm just sayin...

Olsen complained her costume showed too much cleavage Actually, that article completely misses the point of what Elizabeth Olsen said. The article begins by referring to the making of Wonder Woman as a "win" against sexism ... and portrays the Scarlet Witch costume as some sort of setback. The only way to make that narrative work is to edit Olsen's full comment. "But then you look at where it started in the comic books and it was a leotard and a headband so…oh, it's horrible, it’s so horrible. So at least they know that’s not cool. But then they made Wonder Woman, you know? And that’s what she’s in."In other words, the cinematic Scarlet Witch attire is a vast improvement over the hyper-sexed up comic book costume. And the Wonder Woman sex-kitten outfit, by comparison, is horrible and uncool ... from the perspective of a woman who doesn't want to be viewed as just a sex object to titillate the fanboys. Basically, the same argument I made shortly after WW opened. Wonder Woman is an insult to women |

"I like corsets, but I’d like it to be higher. Everyone has these things that cover them—Tessa Thompson does, Scarlett does. I would like to cover up a bit," said Olsen. "It’s funny because sometimes I look around and I’m just like — wow, I’m the only one who has cleavage, and that’s a constant joke because they haven’t really evolved my superhero costume that much." |

And then she went on to say what I quoted. The part that went missing from the OP article is the buried lead. When it comes to tawdry objectification of women, the Scarlet Witch costume barely registers compared to Wonder Woman's intimate battle apparel. |

All the superhero costumes should be made out of body paint to make them comics accurate.

The article the OP linked to mentions this and says what she's worn in real life isn't the point, which I agree with. But what I don't understand is why she's up at arms about her character in the film being sexualized 1/10th of how she's sexualized herself at red carpet events. |

Isn’t it just the relativity of it compared to the rest of the characters? That the other women are all more covered up, even if their costumes are skintight, and that they at least have suits appropriate for skirmishes? (I just skimmed after OP was made) Not just a simple outright complaint? |

(I just skimmed after OP was made) Not just a simple outright complaint? I don't see how her costume is any more sexualized than what Black Widow has been wearing for years. Maybe I'd think her costume was more inappropriate if she just wore street clothes in the comics and this was a step towards stripper. But considering she looks like some wild theme stripper in the comics, a corset under an overcoat seems tame. I'm not attacking her, I just think it's much ado about nothing. I never found myself checking her out when I was watching the movie. I honestly couldn't tell you how it compares to the other costumes in the film, that's how much of a non-factor it was to me as a viewer. |
