[QUOTE="Whizbang Dustyboots, post: 8311123, member: 11760"] Robin Wright in Wonder Woman is honestly one of the sexiest fantasy characters ever. Her Antiope has guns for days, lots of visible scars and, while she shows a fair amount of skin, it's because she lives on a sunny island and is a lightly armored warrior. She does not exist to be ogled (and honestly, that would be a somewhat risky proposition, because if you make her mad, look out), but is undeniably sexy. She'd be a [I]great[/I] sword and sorcery character. That sort of treatment -- giving everyone agency and not defaulting to a male and white coded dominant setting -- are probably the biggest stuff required to make sword and sorcery work as a 5E setting. Compare to Robin Wright's Buttercup in the Princess Bride (which I adore). She's a beautiful woman with almost no agency, even once she's running around with the rest of the heroes. She most exists to be a pretty object, which is a real missed opportunity in an otherwise A+ film. [/QUOTE]
