Only part of it, but it’s kinda crazy that studios can go “hey, you need to literally dehydrate yourself for this shot so your veins and muscles can pop out more easily.”

It’s a lot of things. It’s a diet so strict and regimented it controls your life, same for exercise, and then they dehydrate for days. Is the water why random person on Lemmy doesn’t look like that?

But it is dangerous for most people to even try because yeah it involves a lot of risky decisions and they don’t even look like that all the time

He’s literally a mutant
There are more relevant examples
Dude that’s Superman you’re talking about
