Everyone is skinny or just plain skinnyfat as fuck, regardless of gender.

Take the classic "hot" characters from shows of that era. The ones that everyone talked about when they got topless.

Angel from Buffy, they made sure to get him topless in nearly every scene:



Riley was repeatedly described as huge with huge arms:


Hell remember Denise Richards from the world is not enough? She was this super agent tough sports girl right?


I'm not saying there's anything wrong with this and they're not in bad shape or anything, but it's funny to look at from a modern perspective. You couldn't image a character like Angel today (the mysterious bad boy character) being in that kind of shape. Everyone in tv shows now looks like a physique model.

They said they were doing a reboot a while back, but there's been zero news of it that I've seen and then Whedon turned out to be a piece of shit, so I dunno.

I dont.

Awful shows with shitty characters and dumb plots, full of hot people.

Basically what The CW is today.

I think Boreanaz's issue was that he hadn't built up his chest yet so he looks weird. He's not really skinny fat, just an underdeveloped chest. By the time he's in Bones he's addressed that issue.

I don't believe in belts. There should be no ranking system for toughness.

Yeah don't need a reboot, it's done. Just loved the show at the time.

A healthy, fit body looks a million times better than one with ripped, exaggerated muscles. The latter on a non-athlete will always look weird to me. Building lots of muscle for its own sake is fucking weird. Post #4 looks nice.

She was super fine but I feel like everyone expects hot actresses to have squat legs now. You can tell denise richards did not squat.

ya i wonder why tbh.
could it be a result of fitness culture exploding around late 2000s/early 2010s?
i get that there were always ripped and huge guys before then but it seemed pretty niche prior to Zyzz era.

maybe its because fitness culture exploded around 2010

That's basically it.

Also this isn't just levelled at celebrities, but people in general. Girls did not have toned af squat legs in general back in the 2000s, but now it's standard.

Yeah but nah but yeah but nah.

Ive got a mate whos the absolute nicest guy ever, but hes a bit vain. Hes an absolute unit but would never do steroids, because arrogance. Its all about the diet and the regime, but more importantly the aesthetics of what people want to go for. Do you think Charles Atlas had steroids?

"Increased"? They undoubtedly change but I don't see how they've gotten higher.

That's great about your mate and everything but PEDs are undeniably a huge issue in the fitness influencer world and everyone in the industry fucking knows that every single goddamn male celebrity is on them. Chris Evans, Chris Hemsworth, Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale - every single one of those guys is on gear, there is just no way their "chicken broccoli and rice" diet and bullshit bosu ball exercise workouts on Mens Fitness are getting them there.

That said it's not that it's impossible to get swole without gear - just that it makes shit a lot faster and easier. There's no way these guys are putting on 50lbs of muscle in 3 months because of chicken breast.

And it's a cultural problem now because kids just want to get on gear before they've even put in any serious time training. More Plates More Dates on youtube covers this quite well.

Just to show a comparison, here are some similar character types in recent tv shows.

Derek Hale from Teen Wolf:


And since you guys mentioned it, Alicia Vikander
