The Rooster Teeth team has completed quite an interesting experiment recently. Wonder Woman to virtually any female character from every arcade-style fighting game ever made, leading ladies in comic books and video games have never been known for their less-than-modest outfits despite the ironically hard-hitting demands of their chosen professions.
Thankfully, the fine folks over at Rooster Teeth decided to focus episode three of their Immersion series (which examines the real-world plausibility of some of gaming’s most symbolic archetypes) on addressing the subject of scantily clad characters -- with scandalous results.
It’s easily the funniest and perhaps most entertaining video Rooster Teeth has put out yet, but don’t show your mother.
