Kumail Nanjiani is absolutely RIPPED for his role in The Eternals
- Thread starter Richiek
- Start date
This is like when I found out Derek Hough was also a thirst trap and my brain can't reconcile the information

I so want this to be good.
The Eternals are a premise with unlimited potential that nobody - even Kirby, really - has ever been able to fully deliver on.

It's doing literally nothing other than diet and exercise all day every day for a long time with an army of personal trainers and nutritionists
That's impressive but I wish Marvel would mix things up with how a superhero is supposed to look and not simply give us Fat Thor for the cheap laughs. We often talk about the objectification of women and the troubles actresses have to go through to "appeal" to the general audience (and that's all true and has to change), but here we have Kumail, a funny and intelligent guy, that stands out for his charisma and humor, that wasn't in extreme shape but wasn't that bad (he was "normal" I would say), that has to go through all this to fit into the role model. I'm not sure I'm onboard with this. And I know he feels proud, worked his ass off and deserves too look this good. But as he says, this transformation is almost impossible for someone living a normal life without the resources he mentioned.
Wish I could afford people whose job it was to make me look my best. For some reason though, he looks a little older in the face.
I hate to be like, I'm not like other girls about this but I've been watching gay Twitter have a horny meltdown about this for the last 45 minutes and I absolutely cannot understand. Nothing to do with Kumail specifically--he's cute. But the vascularity and the cutness here are actively a turnoff. And yet this is what our culture demands for movie stars now? I dunno, man. I dunno.
Damn that's impressive. And I love the humility of acknowledging that his results wouldn't be feasible without Hollywood money and resources.
damn, I guess when its your job to get ripped for a role, you can spend the time and energy to do it right
I thought that sort of giant arm veins was the result of steroids. that's what my body building friend told me about Stallone's similarly huge veins. surely Kumail didn't roid up for this role?
You're not going to have a lot of body fat if you want vascularity.
Marvel will never do this. They are still very very much mired in the american standards of beauty and any other body type is, at best, normal and boring and, at worst, to be mocked.
