SSC G.I. Joe Baroness

[Niltusk]

The thread about Gung Ho's "fashion vest" was waaaaaay gayer than this...
This one seems fairly friendly still.

Didn't see that one and I'm glad.

No, she's a regular frontline grunt.

And Cobra Commander's a used-car salesman.

And I didn't flatly assert anything other than my personal preference.

And I never said you did. I was actually referring to spazzy's comments, which I had previously quoted.

You decided that heels were the road to fan service tramp.

They are.

Seriously, Baroness is pretty fan-servicey without high-heels, what with the form-fitting costume, Slavic accent, eyeglasses (anyone else think she was loosely modeled on Vietnam-era singer Nana Mouskouri?) and generally being an all-out femme fatale, but veers just on the right side of being tasteful. Adding stiletto-boots for no reason other than to amp up teh smex appeal is just a step too far, IMHO.

Too much fan service on a fictional character.

You're not a STAR WARS fan are you?

When she was first introduced in her now memorable black armor she was wearing heels I think it was around issue 30 in the marvel run, her first appearances showed her in blue and yellow and kinda ugly, she was burned and scarred had plastic surgery and was revealed with a prettier face black skin right armor and heels..I posted these pics awhile ago in the baroness statue thread to make the same point that she should have heels

Same kind of crap going on in the Hoth Han thread right now over blue vs brown vest, even though we're getting both.

But some people are acting like this is a Soldier Story female soldier with accurate military gear that they're adding stiletto heels to. My opinion is if it looks like the card... great, if it has heels... great. Trying to justify that one opinion over the other is somehow more than just opinion... wow

I would say that is basically this whole website

I know, since, y'know, I was the one you were arguing with.

Also, if you'll recall, you conceded that she didn't appear with stiletto heels till #39. Additionally, I also pointed out that she would sometimes appear with high-heeled and flat-heeled boots in different panels of the same comic, hence sticking with the card-art as the most "official" representation makes more sense.

As for being prettier after getting plastic surgery/the armoured costume, I tend to think that, like the heels, that's more of a "depends on the artist" sort of thing:

I thought the controversy over Hoth Han traditionally revolved around the colour of his coat...

But Sideshow's interpretation/version does not come with that high density laser rifle and backpack.

Thought it was khev I was getting the pics for originally.

Just trying to point out the heels aren't there just for sexiness, they were still there at the beginning even in the blue outfit.

As it happens, you were also arguing with me over the heels at the time.

They may have been intermittently present, but A: there's really no reason for high-heels in the first place apart from enhancing sex-appeal, and B: again, they were not featured on the original card-art, which is a much less-inconsistent (and, around here, apparently, a much more frequently-cited) source.

She could come barefoot and people will still get her

Yeah, pretty much.

It can revolve around whatever you want, you're the one arguing over high heels, swetheart.

Too bad between this and the PF, this forum has been filled with creepers worrying about high heels on a thigh high boot.

Yup, but we're stuck for pages on heels.

Apparently this is a re-hash argument as well. Wow...

Well if all you are going off on is the card art no point discussing with you further about it, I see her in many more things than one painting.
