Hero? I thought she used to be a goddess a couple millennia ago? Seems she's getting demoted fast
Look at Thor and the other Asgardians. It's the current trend.
Also Isis was a Goa'uld too at some point.
I know. I was trying to joke :(
I'm not changing my definitions for those assholes.
Isis: still an ancient Egyptian goddess. Fuck daesh.
Even the Islamic State has never called themselves ISIS.
First of all, they would use Arabic. Secondly, their full name translates more appropriately to the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant. The Levant is a geographical and historical region that roughly overlaps with what we call Syria today, but is not quite the same. So the better translated acronym would be ISIL. ISIS is a sloppy attempt at westernization.
Yes very true, most of us probably knew that already
I thought they were daesh
My understanding (I don't know much about Arabic) is that Daesh is kind of a westernization of Da'ish, which is itself the latinized version of the Arabic acronym.
Apparently Daesh is what their arabic-speakkng opposition calls them becauss of puns with other negative Arabic words.
Isis is still a pretty name
It's pretty shocking how far the standards to be a "buff woman" have shifted over time.
Hell, I remember Xena seeming like a huge woman, and we have members of the US House of Reps who are that big now.
I think even similar trends in men, look at images of strong men 100 years ago. Professional bodybuilding has really shifted perceptions
Just old enough to have encountered that.
OK cool, I think it was in the Saturday morning kids lineup and for me it was like soft porn ๐๐
I think things turned sour when the beheadings started, probably even before then.
It used to be a goddess, now she has some completely different relationships with religion.
I haven't even followed what she's been doing lately, I just remember her like that picture lol
I meant it more like the name "Isis" and it's place in social imagery, I know nothing about the character nor the actress.
Oh okay, actually the modern usage would be more accurately "I. S. I. S", as opposed to a real name.... I knew very little about the actress or the goddess when I saw that series as a kid... All I knew was that between her and Wonder Woman (Lynda Carter) I was having my early exposure to female anatomy and it's effects on me ๐
