IIRC, she’s bulletproof in some according to some canons, so this would work.
Dumb.
Yeah, it’s pretty obvious. Again, she’s wearing her armor under the dress since she tears the dress off when chasing Baron Von Badguy and has her armor on. The sword is under the dress and over the armor. The sword stays up because, as the image plainly shows, the hilt (well, technically quillons I suppose) is hooked over the top of the fabric.
I get that the image is just “haha, butts, that’s funny” but the overall confusion some people have about that scene is kind of weird.
Butt cheeks are the first thing that came into my mind. But then, I have a really, ***really ***dirty mind! :o
With her looks and enough cleavage, WW could drag a howitzer behind her to a gala.
Also, why didn’t the German soldiers in the room notice it and raise the alarm? Everyone was looking at her so it wasn’t as if she was sneaking in…
People see what they expect to see. Nobody expected to see a sword. They saw a beautiful woman in an elegant dress, maybe with some sort of unusual ornament on the back of the dress. If they thought someone would be smuggling in a weapon, they’d expect it to be a man, and even if they thought that a woman might smuggle in a weapon for a man to use, they’d expect it to be a gun.
Maybe they thought it was a back brace?
In the Blade movies, Wesley Snipes character wore his blade straight down his spine in a sheath built into his coat.
Count 'em. Eight points of contact. Could she be more Black Widow like?
Given that the dress is relatively form-fitting and has no sleeves, yet her armor includes arm braces, that whole scene including the sword carry and the magic outfit change both stuck out to me as particularly poorly conceived. I assume that the director decided to go with it because it wasn’t worth tossing a clothes changing scene into the middle of an action sequence and we’d forgive her. And I did. But I do feel like there had to have been a better solution.
Overall, I suspect that a lot of footage for the film probably looked very silly, if you pulled the camera back a few feet. The sword/dress scene is just one of the more obvious examples.
And on American Gods, Mr. Wednesday pulls a two-handed sword out of his left side coat. I wouldn’t spend too much time expecting a god/dess’s actions to fit our normal understanding of how it should work.
She could be keeping it in Hammerspace.
the mallet picture made me laugh out loud. I hope there aren’t a bunch of emergency room visits over this.
