If I had a nickel for every beloved childhood franchise that started out with 2000s sci-fi industrial grunge aesthetics and transitioned into Jack Kirby vibrant cosmology aesthetics as the lore expanded I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot but it’s weird that it happened twice

I used Jack Kirby for a reason. Barda was very clearly drawn by her creator as a large, muscular woman. She was not lean

It’s why I brought up Bane. He and Barda are characters that were originally and I prefer being BIG, but not venturing into outright sci-fi scale that a lot of fans weirdly act like is the only way to “authentically” capture the character
Big Barda is next to Bane and She-Hulk on the worst offenders of progressive bodybuilder-fication by the comic book industry.
Progressive and cartoonish bloating of their physiques to such a degree that people forget that the original design was never really like that
