Chapter 2096
Those women who want to be beautiful may even sacrifice their lives, let alone worship a goddess... At least in modern society, worshipping gods is too childish. Some female stars even raise ghosts to enhance their charm... In the past, many people regarded this as a bizarre incident that only existed in urban legends, but as the private lives of some female stars were exposed, this phenomenon gradually surfaced. It is rumored that some female stars even use ghosts as a means to enhance their popularity. They believe that this can enhance their charm and fortune, but the price is unimaginable darkness. It is said that raising ghosts often involves complex rituals and witchcraft, and the provider needs to recite various spells at a specific time and space to control these ghosts.
In short, Aphrodite easily turned those girls who thought they had been in darkness into her fanatical followers.
Especially when they slit the throats of those scumbags, something deep inside these girls exploded, as if they had awakened something extraordinary.
Just when there were fewer and fewer men at the scene and they were about to be killed.
A flash of lightning suddenly appeared.
Aphrodite was startled, thinking it was Thor coming down.
She was still a little afraid of Asgard, because it had a bad reputation. And the Earth had always been protected by Asgard. The whole universe knew this. In name, the Earth was one of the nine realms ruled by Asgard!
Although in reality the Earth is not ruled by Asgard.
But Aphrodite was really afraid that these crazy people would overreact.
However, she soon realized that she was overthinking.
The person who came was not Thor.
Although she couldn't see through the Flash's speed, she was able to tell by his aura that the person coming was someone she didn't know.
"stop!!!"
Barry shouted at the girls to stop their actions.
The girls stopped what they were doing all of a sudden, but those deceived scumbags continued to move around on the girls as they pleased, unaffected at all.
Aphrodite saw clearly who was coming, it was a child.
Barry is young, by both Earthling standards and the Pantheon's standards, he is undoubtedly a child.
Being young means being full of vitality.
This is what Aphrodite likes.
Of course it would be better if Barry was more handsome.
"Who are you, boy?"
Aphrodite asked softly.
It was only then that Barry noticed Aphrodite, who was sitting in the shadows of the room.
Aphrodite had never appeared in Barry's sight before, otherwise Barry would never have ignored this woman, she was so beautiful.
For nature, beauty is the expression of its nature. For humans, beauty needs to be created and needs a pair of eyes to discover beauty. True beauty comes from the inside out. Just like a tree or a flower, its appearance, posture, fragrance and charm all come from invisible roots. It is the same for humans, just as the ancient poem says, "A man of knowledge is naturally elegant." Pure beauty is simple and unadorned. Return to the original. Great beauty is speechless. All the tricks, embellishments and carvings have not captured the true meaning of beauty. The ultimate aesthetic is the beauty of nature. Simplicity and simplicity are the pure beauty, the beauty without words.
Eternal beauty is breathtaking. Whatever touches the heart is the most precious and precious. The heart is the master of the body. Where the heart goes, the actions will follow. What grows in the heart will never fade and never wither.
As long as she stood there, she naturally became the focus of everyone's attention.
Her presence is so strong that when she is in the shadow, the shadow embraces her, and when she stands in the light, the light surrounds her!
Barry was stunned for a moment.
At the same time, Aphrodite was also very interested in the boy in front of her.
Gods and humans are still different.
They can see many things that humans cannot see. These things are very ugly and a bit metaphysical. When ordinary people see the Flash, the most they think is that this guy is so weird. How come he comes out wearing a tights?
To be honest, the fact that superheroes like to wear tights is a very hot topic online.
Almost every superhero has a very individual but also very programmed battle suit, and this suit is often tight and shaping, which perfectly sets off the superhero's muscular/sexy body, regardless of whether it is male or female. Among superheroes, physical strength seems to be the most basic element. A tight battle suit is the beginning of all superheroes, and we can say that this seemingly ordinary battle suit is also an important component of constructing the image of a superhero to a large extent.
Starting with the simplest reason, superhero tights are the best way to show their perfect bodies. The body is a place where power is stored and a tool for showing power. A strong, fit and sexy body shows much more than what we can see with our naked eyes, and it first shows power; then it shows us the traditional gender temperament that is formed or even strengthened by it. At this point, the few female superheroes have the result of being "masculinized", and the exaggerated treatment of some female parts (especially breasts) is not so much a display of their typical femininity, but rather it is more correct to say that it imitates the most basic construction of masculinity to shape the appearance of female superheroes. The exaggerated treatment of their secondary sexual characteristics is actually a tampering and distortion of them.
Here, there is the perspective of the male gaze on women, and it is precisely this special perspective that makes us have a fixed image perception of those female superheroes who can be counted on one hand, like an assembly line. The most direct expression of masculinity comes from the body, and the strength of the body will directly determine whether a person has enough masculinity to a large extent. This is a closed circulation system. The appearance of tight combat suits is on the one hand to maximize the intuitive expression of the masculine and sexy body; on the other hand, it also forms a layer of gauze, existing between the naked body of both sexes and the viewer's sight, and this "half-covered face" sexual tension is a strong expression of masculinity. Below we mainly discuss the tights of male superheroes.
From this perspective, we mainly analyze that superheroes use tights to better show their strength, and this strength comes from quite traditional masculinity. The image of superheroes itself has a strong sense of male chauvinism. They are the most conservative and traditional cognition of men - this cognition still exists in countries around the world today, and often occupies the mainstream ideology - that is, men are strong, aggressive, violent, active, and protectors; they are strong and firm; these traditional masculine qualities are most perfectly expressed in the image of superheroes, and tights, as an important part of it, are also a primary element in this overall construction.
All superheroes have their own tights, that is, we have never seen a superhero save humanity and prevent disasters in his original daily appearance. For some superheroes, the first appearance of tights is often because they do not want others to know their true identity, so they need a costume to cover up their true identity. Behind this behavior, we can also see this kind of separation from others, especially special characters such as superheroes, that is, by designing a special and very obvious costume for the superhero to make it a distinct and immediately perceptible symbolic image. The fact that they wear such tights has already potentially told the viewer that they are different from others.
One interesting thing is that we all know that it takes enough courage to wear the opposite sex's clothes to appear in public (especially for men), but superheroes appear in public places "openly" in tights with bright colors and unique designs. The tights used for superheroes' "dressing up" bring them power. As mentioned above, the body itself has become a tool to show power. For men who wear the opposite sex's clothes, it is more of a weapon to offend or even attack others' conservative ideas. The power it brings is this continued behavior, not the opposite sex's clothes itself. The similarity with superhero tights is that we can all use a "tights" with special meanings to make ourselves gain the power given by it and used to express it. This was perfectly demonstrated in the famous "prison experiment" conducted by Professor Philip Zimbardo at Stanford in 1971. The two groups of people wearing different costumes of police and prisoners eventually gained corresponding power from their clothes, and they fell into the authority and criminal roles given to them by the clothes and could not extricate themselves.
Of course, these are all explanations from the Internet.
But in reality, the reason why super influencers wear tights is purely because of practical needs.
In fact, there are not many superheroes wearing tights in this world!
The most famous ones are the Fantastic Four, The Flash and Daredevil.
Daredevil wears tights because of practical needs. He is deaf, and he can't wear clothes that are inconvenient to move in battle, so he needs to wear tight clothes as much as possible.
The Fantastic Four, because of their abilities.
Mr. Fantastic's ability is to be a rubber man. He needs clothes that are strong and stretchable, and they need to be tight. Otherwise, if he pulls them, the clothes will fall off... That would be embarrassing. The Invisible Woman has similar requirements. She can be invisible, but if her clothes are not invisible, won't she be exposed? So her clothes also need to meet special requirements. In this case, tight clothes are best. First, they are close to the body, and second, the chance of being exposed is also very small.
Her clothes are specially made and can become invisible according to the changes of her body.
The same is true for the Human Torch. Once he uses his ability, his whole body will be covered in fire. At that time, his clothes will be immediately destroyed. There is no way to protect himself without wearing a special tights.
Only the stone man is there to make up the numbers... He doesn't need tights at all, in fact he only wears a pair of pants.
Among them, the one who has the greatest demand for tights is the Flash.
Mr. Fantastic and his friends, even without tights, are not that big. After all, even if the Human Torch is naked, as long as his body is on fire, no one can tell whether he is naked or not. But the Flash is different. Once the Flash starts running, ordinary clothes will immediately catch fire and burn due to the friction caused by high-speed movement... (Here we have to mention the speed force again, it is so fucking unscientific. In American dramas and movies, the Flash also uses his high-speed ability in ordinary clothes many times, but the clothes don’t change at all... You said it’s not too much, friction has no effect on the speed force, right... But the question is, if there is no friction, how can he run? It means that the basic logic of the world doesn’t work with the speed force).
The tights he wears are made of a fusion of quartz and a polymer material, which can counteract the friction caused by high-speed movement while also reducing resistance.
(Anyway, that’s what Harrison and the others said when we were watching the show, but in reality, this suit may be useless!)
At least in Aphrodite's opinion, although the child's clothes were a bit strange, of course, she would not derive so many opinions. She simply expressed from an aesthetic point of view that she did not like this kind of clothing combination... He looked like a clown.
However, Aphrodite could see that he was not a jester or clown. This boy had many shining points! He was fascinating!
Aphrodite didn't know what superheroes were, and she didn't care much about them. But a boy had the brilliance of almost all heroes. (Ancient Greeks called heroes "demigods", which literally means "half-god", which means half-god and half-man)
This intrigued Aphrodite.
She saw "sacrifice", "courage" and "kindness" in this child.
There is still a little bit of innocence and ignorance.
This kind of temperament is so attractive to a weathered elder sister like her.
Just like middle-aged men prefer young girls, everyone likes to find something from their past in each other.
Although Aphrodite is a playboy, she still likes pure and innocent boys the most because they are clean. Just like Aphrodite will never fall in love with Zeus... Zeus is too sleazy, even a male version of Aphrodite, she doesn't like someone who is exactly like her.
"Barry...Barry Allen."
The Flash blew himself up immediately... This was not Barry's idea... or rather, it was not a well-thought-out idea. Instead, he just blurted it out to the big sister in front of him instinctively without thinking at all.
The moment he saw Aphrodite clearly, his brain was in a state of confusion.
It was like the first time I was in close contact with a girl I had liked for a long time. A lot of things were going through my mind, but it seemed like I was thinking of nothing. Thoughts came one after another, but I immediately fell into a state of confusion and didn't know what to do.
"Barry Allen... Oh, what a lovely name." Aphrodite smiled and opened her arms to Barry: "Come here, sister. I think you need a warm hug..."
I am completely screwed for not having perfect attendance this month... I can't help it. There are so many things to do this month. My brother is still in the hospital and will need long-term dialysis in the future. I have been running between the hospital, home and the company these days. I am exhausted both physically and mentally!
