Big Bra to Fill: Difference between revisions

No edit summary
Line 24:
* Mary Jane Watson, girlfriend and later wife ([[One More Day|until recently]]) of [[Spider-Man]], is pretty much always drawn with breasts rivaling if not exceeding the superpowered women surrounding her. In the first three 2000s movies she's played by [[Kirsten Dunst]], who didn't quite measure up.
* The ''[[Lara Croft: Tomb Raider|Lara Croft Tomb Raider]]'' films. In the video games, Lara Croft's breasts are exceedingly generous. In the films, [[Angelina Jolie]] is padded to a D-cup. In an interview Angelina said that anything larger would have made it difficult to do her own stunts.
** Somewhat averted with the 2018 film - Alicia Vikander isn't particularly busty either, but the film is based in the 2013 ''Tomb Rider'' game reboot, where Lara's proportions are closer to realistic standards and there are more emphasis on her athletic physique than in her cup size.
* Most of the ladies in the ''[[X-Men (film)|X Men]]'' films.
* Averted with the film adaptation of ''[[Barb Wire]]'', which had Pamela Anderson in the lead role. Pam's breasts were actually larger in the movie than the original comic character.
Line 33 ⟶ 34:
* In [[Watchmen (film)|the film of]] ''[[Watchmen]]'', the less curvy Malin Ackerman as the Silk Spectre II provided a straight, although not quite as extreme example of this trope.
* As seen in the image above, Jessica Alba leapt to the screen as The Invisible Woman in ''[[Fantastic Four]]''. However, Sue Storm's mega cupsize is a [[Depending on the Artist]] matter in the comics. [[Jack Kirby]]'s original character design had fairly realistic proportions.
* [[Street Fighter (film)|Ming-Na]] and [[Street Fighter: The Legend of Chun-Li|Kristen Kreuk]], portraying Chun-Li in the live action ''[[Street Fighter]]'' films. Both of them being small, thin women, neither of them resemble the character much outside of being Asian. Though with Chun-Li, [[Amazonian Beauty|Big Stockings]] [[She's Got Legs|To Fill]] might be more appropriate - and none of the actresses can fill those either.
* Neither of the actresses who portrayed April in the ''[[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles]]'' [[Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (film)|live action movies]] (Judith Hoag in the first, Paige Turco in the next two, [[Megan Fox]] in the [[Michael Bay]] reboots) could really fill out a jumpsuit like their animated counterpart. Likely justified in that the first three movies were based offof the original comics and not the animated series. In the comics, she's more average.
* Nurse Ratched in ''[[One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest]].'' The casting director wisely went for acting talent over accuracy to the book character's massive rack.
* [[Black Widow (comics)|Black Widow]] in ''the [[Iron Man (film)|IronMarvel ManCinematic 2Universe]]'', as played by [[Scarlett Johansson]] - while not quite comic-book proportions, Scarlett is pretty big by Hollywood standards.
* The remake of ''[[The Fog]]'' cast the flat-chested Selma Blair in a role originally played by the busty Adrienne Barbeau. To make this work, the director outfitted Blair with additional padding to increase her character's bust size.
* Julia Roberts' portrayal of ''[[Erin Brockovich]]'' in the film of the same name garned quite a bit of attention due to how Julia needed some boosting in this area to match the real Erin. In a post-release Oprah interview, their enhancement were the prominent topic of discussion, rather than the remarkable achievements of the women they based their movie upon.
* Her depiction varies more than most heroines [[Depending on the Artist]], but Helen Slater portrayed a very modestly-endowed Girl of Steel in 1984's ''[[Supergirl (film)|Supergirl]]''.
