Tom Holland is Spider-man. Tom Holland is ripped but thin. He's the correct body type for Spider-man.
Tony Stark is a rich billionaire who relies on his advanced robotics to be "super." Robert Downey Jr. was quite fit for his shirtless shots.
Bruce Banner is an emaciated nerd scientist. Hulk is one of the largest most muscular humanoid creatures in the movies and comics.
Dr. Strange is a former surgeon, is tall, and thin. Benedict Cumberbatch is fit enough: he's not fat at all. The arrogant attitude pre-enlightenment was perfect. He's a great casting for the good Doctor.
None of these comparisons are accurate.
The author didn't use Chris Evans who was quite muscular and lean for his shirtless shots.
The author didn't use Chris Pratt's ripped shirtless scene for Starlord.
The author didn't use fit Chris Hemsworth's Thor shirtless pics.
The author didn't use Hugh Jackman's absolutely monstrous ripped physique form the Wolverine movies.
The author didn't use Henry Cavil's ripped physique for superman (the most muscular superman, to date, by far).
The author didn't use Jason Momoa's ripped physique for Aquaman.
In reality, the action heroes we had in the 1980s were, on average, far less muscular and ripped than the action heroes of today. Because we have better science and drugs. We had Stallone, Arnold, and van Damme: and they were all heavily using steroids. Ivan Drago wasn't even an action hero.
Good analysis. Ridiculous meme.
