I think one of my main peeves so far has been when one artists tries to give a character a more realistic build, then another artists turns around and makes it completely ridiculous. It happens with male characters too, but I've noticed it more with female characters. Like when I went back and read the second New Mutants/New X-Men series from the beginning, and while there definitely could have been more diversity in body types, girls were still being drawn like teenagers in their chest/waist proportions. Then a couple issues later, some other artist would be drawing the girls who previously looked like B-cups with comically large breasts. But there have just been some crappy artists in general.

Also looking at the official heights and weights for characters is hilarious. Apparently Emma Frost is 5'10" and 144 pounds, and Jean Grey is 5'6" and 115 pounds. Because it's not like their boobs alone would add like 15-20 pounds to those weights, let alone their muscle tone.

sdfgndjksgsdfgnk OKAY THE OFFICIAL STATS ARE RIDICULOUS I grant you

:c also apparently this boy here is still 170lb. I imagine his armor just adds... 45 pounds...

It's more difficult for me to contextualize the stats for men just because they're body types are so different from my own, but I imagine that inaccuracies abound there too.

On that subject, I wish that people wouldn't forget that Wolverine is supposed to be 5'3".

JUBILEE IS TALLER THAN WOLVERINE AND ONE DAY ART WILL ACTUALLY REFLECT THAT

his ~passionate scenes~ with Jean Grey would be so much more enjoyable if he was the one who had to look up to meet her eyes.
