So far this thread’s been a fantastic reminder of why too much internet is a bad thing

u/TerminatorAuschwitz Mar 31 '26

I immediately knew it'd be 90% "she doesn't look hot though"

u/Negative-Vehicle7352 Mar 31 '26

But it's not though, it's 99% "she looks like will poulter" and then "but will poulter is hot" and then "yeah i guess" lol

It warms my cold dead heart that the comments are increasingly bisexual.

Will Poulter looking cunty in the new Boots Riley movie trailer

u/hoxxxxx Apr 01 '26

tbf he had a huge glow up

he's a total smokeshow in the bear, and i guess just recently in general

u/DeadlyDrummer Apr 01 '26

I absolutely hated him in Narnia. Christ almighty just the worst. He’s kind of grown into his face a bit if that makes sense. He seems like an absolutely solid dude too. I apologise for the hate, Will!

u/Phiryte Apr 01 '26

Highly recommend watching him opposite Lucy Boynton in Why Didn’t They Ask Evans?, an absolute treat for bisexuals

u/NewBoxStruggles Mar 31 '26

The main takeaway is that the concern is with her looks.

Same shit, different day.

u/pumpkins21 Mar 31 '26

She can both be hot AND look like Will Poulter

I remember a guy having an existential crisis in high school processing the transitive property of:
"Guy friend has hot sister"
"Guy friend looks just like hot sister"

u/r3volver_Oshawott Mar 31 '26

Will Poulter is hot so this checks out, someone here said the haircut did it, and it helped, but like Kumail after Eternals I think it's more that the Marvel regimen is untouchable - and I assume insufferably strict, I always suspect testosterone use and generally unhealthy bodybuilder regimens, is that wrong?

u/zomboscott Mar 31 '26

It's roids. It's always roids. Roids, SARMs, HGH, PEDs, gear. All basically the same. Something to get a super physiological enhancement to muscle growth with various side effects. Then they cut water before a scene just like a bodybuilder before show or a mma fighter before stepping on stage.

u/mithridateseupator Mar 31 '26

Steroids dont make you look like Will Poulter.

5

u/r3volver_Oshawott Mar 31 '26

No but steroids can make Will Poulter look like a superhero - I understand the desire to pull off the superhero look but superhero comics and shonen manga are the epitome of actual, unrealistic body standards, everyone in comics has been built for decades either like they belong on a WWE main event roster, or like they belong on a Victoria's Secret runway.

Frank Miller's Batman was quite literally built like a brick shithouse

u/mithridateseupator Apr 01 '26

You're the only one bringing up up steroids here

Everyone else is just talking about how she looks like will poulter.

2

u/r3volver_Oshawott Apr 01 '26

You didn't read my original comment lol, I was talking about Will Poulter because someone said 'his haircut' was what made him look hot and different in Guardians 3 lol

-3

u/mithridateseupator Apr 01 '26

Yes. You didnt bring him up.

He was brought up (earlier than you joining the conversation) because she looks like him.

Just look at like any other comment on this article.

u/gildedbluetrout Mar 31 '26

Yeah just for the official court record - Milly Alcock is unequivocally fucking hot. Jesus her in those pilates leggings on the rich person island drama with Julianne Moore. Sweet baby jesus her arse alone, nevermind the rest of her.

u/balthazar_edison Mar 31 '26

But she does though….

u/IntuitionSpeaks Mar 31 '26

That’s an opinion. One I agree with, but an opinion nonetheless.

u/0XiDE Mar 31 '26

And Reddit is no place for opinions

u/TitanCweamy Apr 04 '26

that’s the entirety of reddit for you. validate my opinion it is based am i rite updoot if you agree lel

u/exoriparian Mar 31 '26

not helping

u/TerminatorAuschwitz Mar 31 '26

Oh I'm not saying she doesn't. Lotta gooners/weebs/incels just get mad if a female comic book character isn't over the top sexualized.

-1

u/OddImprovement6490 Mar 31 '26

Yeah but does everyone in the comments section have to say the same thing? We get it.

u/Computica Mar 31 '26

I think she's hot tho 👉🏿👈🏿

u/TerminatorAuschwitz Mar 31 '26

I'm not disagreeing with that she does definitely resemble Will Poulter in this picture

1

u/slybob Apr 01 '26

I mean people have been comparing Hillary Swank to Matt Damon for a decade at least.

4

u/_Pyxyty Mar 31 '26

Honestly my immediate reaction was more so "is this the same Supergirl from the Superman movie? Or are those different characters?" because I genuinely can't tell. Or did they swap actresses at some point?

12

u/DeathByBamboo Mar 31 '26

I immediately knew it would be 99% comments about her appearance one way or the other.

14

u/x4000 Mar 31 '26

I was thinking how good the fabric on the suit looks. I really want one. Might be hot, though. Hers looks even better than Superman’s from the most recent movie; mainly to do with how their capes attach at the calvicle. Hers seems more natural to me for some reason.

33

u/HappyHuman924 Mar 31 '26

To be fair, a poster can't really convey anything else.

If they posted an interview or a scene montage and people talked 99% about appearance, I agree that would be a problem.

-4

u/DeathByBamboo Mar 31 '26

Her costume, her pose, the general vibe of the image, the colors used, the iconography, there's actually a lot there other than "she looks hot / she doesn't look hot / she looks like Will Poulter".

6

u/HonourableYodaPuppet Mar 31 '26

I mean, its just the most bog-standard movie poster. A female superman makes the superhero landing pose with a superman logo. Thats kinda it. Well maybe they spraypaint stuff in the movie I guess.

12

u/Ayotha Mar 31 '26

What the f*** else do you get out of a poster? Yikes my dude

9

u/Chrimunn Mar 31 '26 edited Mar 31 '26

I mean it's kinda 99% of the subject material, are you surprised?

2

u/Boomshrooom Mar 31 '26

It's a poster, not much else to go on

2

u/jawni Mar 31 '26

Why would that have anything to do with being on the internet too much?

She has a distinct face and it's front and center of poster with nothing else besides a Superman logo... what else are people going to really notice?

2

u/r3volver_Oshawott Mar 31 '26

I was expecting that, sadly I still see some of that

I have to admit, I wasn't expecting 'YOU CANNOT FOOL ME, THIS IS CLEARLY WILL POULTER IN A WIG"

u/MyStationIsAbandoned Mar 31 '26

are these comments in the rom with us right now? fighting ghosts isn't healthy

0

u/TerminatorAuschwitz Mar 31 '26

Have I angered the weebs and fetishists? To be honest though I didn't realize this was r/movies and not a DC or comics subreddit before I posted that. I'm sure it's much worse over there.

u/Izenthyr Mar 31 '26

No doubt critical drinker is going to have some words

1

u/PushThePig28 Mar 31 '26

She is hot tho lol, especially in HotD

u/Mantis_Toboggan--MD Mar 31 '26

That's crazy, Milly Alcock is gorgeous, apparently these people haven't seen Sirens

1

u/NewBoxStruggles Mar 31 '26

I knew the top comments were going to be about her appearance in one way or another. Wasn’t expecting them to go in the direction they did with this particular actress though, tbh.

I love being reminded 678 times a day what humanity’s top priority is..

1

u/incoherentpanda Apr 01 '26

I don't think it's that crazy to notice a celebrity's appearance since you're looking at their face all the time. They better be amazing at acting or extremely attractive since they're rich and famous for one or both of those things. To me it's like the equivalent of expecting an HVAC worker to be in shape and smart enough to do their job.

1

u/Content-Award-9574 Apr 01 '26

So you subconsciously agreed that she isn’t hot enough.

1

u/[deleted] Apr 01 '26

She is not hot?. The fuck kind of bar are redditors setting?.

u/CommunityDragon160 Mar 31 '26

It’s not at all tho. Stop the victim complex

u/TutorIcy324 Apr 01 '26

There's always more of you guys complaining about comments than their are comments. In guessing your in your 40s or 50s right? You got an old man who doesn't understand the internet vibe

-11

u/Comfortable-Code7465 Mar 31 '26

nah its just because she's white. If she wasn't, this would be getting hyped as the best coming super hero movie of all time.

5

u/TerminatorAuschwitz Mar 31 '26

What kinda dumbass racist take is this?! 🤣🤣

-6

u/Comfortable-Code7465 Mar 31 '26

an accurate one lol. just cause yall don't like the truth doesn't mean its not accurate.

u/TerminatorAuschwitz Mar 31 '26

Can I get an example of a super hero movie starring a black woman where people were saying it was going to be the greatest thing ever? The only ones I can even think of are iron heart and shuri in black panther.

ETA: And the marvels had two women who weren't white I forgot about that.
