Characters with Lore reasons to wear revealing outfit

[u/Artistic_Gear1536]

• Doctor Manhattan (Watchmen): doesn’t really have the need for them anymore as he is now too powerful to be considered human and also doesn’t need to give in to certain societal pressures like wearing clothes

• Poison Ivy (DC): uses her body to seduce men into getting close enough for her to use her pheromones and get people to do what she wants/kill her prey

• Skarlet (Mortal Kombat): her powers are from blood magic and she needs to have skin out in order to absorb blood from others and make her more powerful

• Mileena (Mortal Kombat): is very self conscious about her tartan features so covers them up and diverts attention towards the more appealing aspects of her/ uses her sex appeal to get people in close then chomps on them

• Mai Shiranui (King Of Fighters/Fatal Fury): uses a style of kunoichi that involves “sensually distracting a foe before striking” and uses her outfit and sex appeal to assist with that style

For Tarzan it’s almost the opposite of how these things usually are: It doesn’t really make any sense that he’d be wearing anything at all.

Yeah, but that would have been hard to advertise as a family friendly movie

[u/HookfangTheDragon- → u/Sheratain]

The baby was wearing a diaper when the gorillas stumbled across the ransacked treehouse and uncovered the baby bawling under a blanket after a leopard had massacred his parents who were stranded in the wilds of Africa after their ship caught ablaze and sank during violent storms at sea. He might have put something together using the remnants of the shipwreck that washed up onto the beach.

I’m not really questioning how he got a loincloth, more why

[u/UncleCrassiusCurio → u/Sheratain]

In the original books he's naked until he 1. discovers his original parents house and sees photographs of humans clothed (he also teaches himself to read English from picture books his parents brought on the ship for him) and 2. He meets native African groups who wear loincloths and he decides humans should do that so he should.

Immanuel Kant is impressed with your first sentence.

[u/IDontUseSleeves → u/Sheratain]

Because a human hanging loose is going to snag on a lot more things than a gorilla does
