    IMO Harrison Ford looks pretty damn fit in that picture and I wouldn’t bat an eye if he were in a super hero movie today. Like that’s not a Thor body but there are many characters where that body would fit in just fine. I agree that movie bodies are not very attainable for most people with busy lives, but on the other hand, if you’re playing a super hero you’re not playing an average person. It would probably be weird to see an average body shape doing the impossible stunts you see in action movies.

      Back when they made “300” it was almost satire how shredded these guys looked. It was obvious it wasn’t realistic and wasn’t meant to be. Nowadays we get shows like Reacher with an absolutely humongous lead that’s supposed to wander around doing jack shit all day… right. His mother shat him out this way.

      And female “tough” leads are often tiny and no muscle in sight yet they still kick ass and routinely dispose off bad guys twice their size. Why do the guys even need to be this big when physics don’t matter?

      I hate this so much. Hollywood is so fucking fake.
