Maui is a powerful demigod. Big and strong and… oh, you think he looks fat?
That’s probably because you’ve been conditioned by the media to accept this
as what strong and fit looks like. Amiright?
Sadly… these guys are not all that strong. Yeah, they got muscles… but they aren’t built in a useful way. They are built for looks and that’s about it.
This…
is a strong guy. Actually a competitor in the Strongman competition. But… his tummy sticks out and he doesn’t look like a Dorito.
You know who else is strong?
These guys…
And Maui…
Look at those arms, omg. And that solid, sturdy torso. You can see a shadow where his meat covers his ribs, but he doesn’t look like any slouch to me.
And this guy…
That’s Dwayne Johnson’s grandfather. When the Disney animators showed him their sketches of Maui, he pulled out a picture of his grandfather and showed it to them because he was amazed how similar they looked. This dude was also a pro wrestler.
There’s actually a great infographic about ab muscles and stuff over HERE. but this is the part i want to show you.
Now… look at Maui again.
That thickness don’t move like fat. It doesn’t jiggle and he’s able to flex it. Look at how it sits on his body. It doesn’t sag… he doesn’t have a gut. There’s even a slight V shape to his torso.
It’s just big and not ‘defined’.
And people aren’t used to that.
(sorry, this isn’t the most organized post… i kinda just let it all spill out)
Has anyone taken a closer look at Heavy and Medic’s chess game near the beginning of End of the Line? If you remember correctly, Medic has the white pieces, which means he starts first, and that’s the scene we saw in the video.
And it looks like he moved the Pawn that was in front of his King. Now when Heavy made his move, he took his King and captured the Pawn that Medic moved.
Now before that, you can see that Heavy didn’t move any other piece before this move.
Now Kings can only move one space in any direction. Which means this move is not allowed. Even if it was his Queen, they can’t jump over pieces like Knights can. So that means when Medic made this face…
It’s not a face of defeat (even though he wasn’t in Checkmate or even Check), it’s a face of “Are you fucking kidding me? Do you even know how to play chess?”
WH E EZ E OMFG
I did see this the first time watching, and in fact this is one of my favorite parts of the entire video.
