Maui is a powerful demigod. Big and strong and… oh, you think he looks fat?

image

That’s probably because you’ve been conditioned by the media to accept this

image

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… 

image

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?

image

These guys…

And Maui…

image

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)

Maui appreciation. He thicc

Also a guy could be legit fat and still have enormously strong muscles under the gut – agreed that Maui is not that guy, but even if he were fat it would not invalidate his strength.

for sure this ^^^^

I know this is about Maui, but is it okay to also address the body shapes we see in Fullmetal Alchemist? I don’t know if anybody already said this…

image

Sig might not have that Dorito shape to his body and also look like he has a gut, but his strength is near equal to Major Armstrong, who also doesn’t have that extreme Dorito shape.

And they both respect each other’s strength and muscles despite their body shapes being different.
