she has a big frame and works out intensely so she's much stronger than the average woman. Like this is impossible to exist?

I think because being that big is a difficult full time job that requires strict diets, training and effort in the current pampered first world

Abby was doing it in a zombie apocalypse while also being an overworked commando who lived on burritos and potatoes

The social commentary clashed with the plot

Imagine if Nathan Drake was 350 pounds for example, it wouldn't make sense in that context even though fat people exist

she has access to food and a gym, and even though there's nothing to suggest that used them for anything related to her physique, both Ellie and Abby use supplements to improve on their skills (even though that last part is a gameplay mechanic)

Here comes the chuds pretending they care about realism instead of admitting they're a misogynist that can't handle seeing women being stronger and more muscular than them. I'm sure they complained about how the characters in Gears of War are buff as fuck despite being in a post apocalyptic world.

It was a stupid thing to get bent-up over but a female bodybuilder did a decent write-up on Reddit of why her build isn't realistic for the circumstances.
She'd have to eat an insane amount of, very high protein, food every single day and work out for the majority of the time she spends awake. It's just not realistic.

Why people didn't choose to stick with the whole "she's not Joel" reason for disliking her is beyond me. It's perfectly valid.

A society that lived on Burritos and a girl who spent most of her time outside of the camp.

No one could achieve those results in a post apocalypse, it's a hard fulltime job in rich suburban America.

You can claim realism doesn't matter but claiming Abby is realistic is not true.

In that scene you can literally see examples of her workout regimen, which, as mentioned before, was heavily scrutinized by bodybuilders. IIRC it was mostly calisthenics and you dont build those kinds of muscles on calisthenics and poor diet.

A good video by a normal female bodybuilder on how Abby's physique is possible in the setting she's in. Of course the chuds are still going to bring up the reddit post that was done by a female bodybuilder from a subreddit full of the most vile bigots imaginable. Btw I wonder why there was hardly ever any analysis into why the male characters in Gears of War are insanely buff in a post apocalyptic world unlike the buff chick? Ahhh I'm sure it has nothing to do with misogyny.

Calisthentics and poor diet, sure, but there are plenty calisthenics-swole folk on the internet.

This is unfair, Gears of War isn't a serious drama, it's a dumb action game.

If Joel and Tommy and Jesse looked like Marcus Phoenix people would complain about that too.

Same as Lara Croft's massive tits. No one cared because the game wasn't serious. It was about stopping Atlantis from ending the world

Imagine if Oskar Schindler was played by Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Hell speaking of, did you know in the book of Total Recall the character was an accountant? They changed it in the movie to construction worker because they knew Arnold's build was unrealistic for an accountant

But for Batman and Robin, realism really doesn't matter

Again, The Last of Us: Part II SPOILERS Its explained in the game how she got buff. Shes spent 4 years training for vengeance in a community with food and training facilities.

What is it about burritos that makes you think they cant help you add muscle? Do you even know the specific ingredients involved? You know every burrito doesnt have to be the kind Taco Bell serves, right? They could be filled with all manner of vegetables and protein-rich meats.

Also, do you really think thats the meal they eat every single day? I mean, cmon.

Yeah, the implication that if Joel or Jesse or Ellie or Tommy was built like Marcus Phoenix then nobody would care is crazy

Look at how people reacted to James in Mass Effect 3 and that was realistic for that setting. Just jarring

Would have loved the reaction if there was an Asari who looked like James
