The above parody of this Avengers promo poster comes from artist Kevin Bolk, who explains:
I couldn’t help but notice that in most of the ad material, the guys are all in heroic stances but Black Widow is almost always in an impractical, curved-spine “booty shot” pose. Figured I’d flip it around for my lady friends out there. Seemed only fair. Them’s some strong male characters, amirite?
The only problem with this theory is that no one seems to know whether the poster being parodied is official marketing material or just fan art. Scarlett Johansson’s ass is definitely sticking out in the official character banners, but you could make a similar argument as to why the male characters’ ‘heroic stances’ so frequently involve not wearing sleeves. Everyone’s objectified in their own way. Also, maybe if Black Widow had any powers besides jiu-jitsuing people, she might get a different pose. As a jiu-jitsu practitioner myself, I can confirm that at least 85% of jiu-jitsu involves distracting your opponent with your pert, rock-hard ass. Mainly, I just posted it because I can’t get enough of the look on the Hulk’s face. That’s the sassiest asshole spread I’ve ever seen, and I’d like to think I know what I’m talking about here.
(*casually crosses off “incorporate the phrase ‘sassy asshole spreading’ into a post” on to-do list*)

Did you know men can also benefit from Kegel exercises?
*Hulk sassy face* *Hulk SMASH*
But the male way is, ‘check out my awesome pipes’ and the female way is, ‘watch out for my vulnerable butt.’
In Japan, “Unstoppable” is known as “Black Widower.”
Do you know how hard it was to come up with a film in which a black male lead’s wife passes away?
Solid work, but hard to believe.
They could even things out by making Thor go shirtless in the next set of posters.
Just saying. Hint hint.
Ruffalo makes kissy lips in the official posters. Not sassy enough for the ladies?
/Hulk’s ass should be disheveled
Because, in my heart, Hawkeye is now named Silent But Deadly, it’s difficult to look at a drawing in which he’s “presenting.”
odGri, have you seen the sequel, Black Widower vs. Zombies?
A bit odd no one noticed them changing the male lead. It’s almost like they all look the same or something.
Black Widow’s power is draining the blood from her opponent’s skull just by bending over.
Cf. Strong Female Characters.
‘Sassy asshole spreading’ is the most commonly occurring phrase on my rap sheet.
SASSY ASSHOLE SPREADING is a headline on a spinning newspaper in Black Widower vs. The Ace Ventura Strain.
She obviously didn’t go to the Columbia School of Jujitsu, her uniform has no pockets for a Carnation.
In Japan, Nutella is called “Sassy Asshole Spread.”
Jiu Jitsu Schmoo Schmitzu! Black Widow is on the Pooty Patrool. Silent but deadly!
I make sure to use lots of Sassy Asshole Spread when my ass is thor.
I like that the artist still gave Black Widow massive jugs.
yeah.. if some dude tried to argue that arm exposure was equivalent to unnecessary superhero booty tooting i’d just spank his biceps until they turned pink while rubbing my vagina all over them.
Hm…I suppose it’s pointless to bring up the fact that Hulk has the least amount of clothes on in the picture…
