Hotter and Sexier - TV Tropes

• One very common "offender" is the Judgment of Paris. From the Middle Ages onward, all three goddesses are typically depicted nude in art, despite the fact that they were not trying to seduce Paris, and it only fits Aphrodite's character. (The opportunity for three female nudes was a large part of the attraction of the subject.)
• The Three Graces are subject to this too more often than not; Renaissance masters like Raphael and Charles-André van Loo have featured them in nude art, and the trend goes back even further, as explained by Greek poet Pausanias:

  "Who it was who first represented the Graces naked, whether in sculpture or in painting, I could not discover. During the earlier period, certainly, sculptors and painters alike represented them draped. At Smyrna, for instance, in the sanctuary of the Nemeses, above the images have been dedicated Graces of gold, the work of Bupalus; and in the Music Hall in the same city, there is a portrait of a Grace, painted by Apelles. At Pergamus likewise, in the chamber of Attalus, are other images of Graces made by Bupalus; and near what is called the Pythium there is a portrait of Graces, painted by Pythagoras the Parian. Socrates too, son of Sophroniscus, made images of Graces for the Athenians, which are before the entrance to the Acropolis. Also, Socrates was known to have destroyed his own work as he progressed deeper into his life of philosophy and search of the conscious due to his iconoclastic attitude towards art and the like. All these are alike draped; but later artists, I do not know the reason, have changed the way of portraying them. Certainly, to-day sculptors and painters represent Graces naked."

• The anime is this compared to Mai-HiME, with the entire setting being built from the ground up to encourage yuri antics.
• Furthermore, its manga counterpart, had a number of non-canon Hentai chapters added to it. Even outside of the hentai chapters, the fanservice levels are turned Up to Eleven compared to the original anime (which has fanservice, but nowhere near as much). The storyline is also changed, making it more harem-like, which for the intended target audience could also be considered a form of Hotter and Sexier. The manga adaptation of Mai-HiME looks child-friendly compared to it.
• Mai-Otome Zwei also levels up the fanservice from Mai-Otome, with the Furo Scene in episode 3 averting Barbie Doll Anatomy and sting perilously close to the hentai line.

• The uality of traditional Ms Fanservices Catwoman and Starfire (in ''Red Hood'') have been ramped up significantly. Notably, Amanda Waller also had a major redesign to slim her down when she has never been a particularly attractive woman (in either looks or personality). DC later toned down Starfire into something more similar to her portrayal in the Teen Titans cartoon.
• Similar to Waller, Ma Hunkel/Red Tornado I has apparently also been revised to no longer be a slightly overweight middle aged housewife/grandmother, with her crossdressing theme seemingly removed. Though, she's apparently now a composite of Ma Hunkel and her granddaughter Maxine, better known as Cyclone, who didn't share Ma's appearance.
• The male characters are getting it a little, too. Jay Garrick and Alan Scott, as part of the Younger and Hipper reboot in Earth2, both went from senior heroes to young and very attractive (as drawn by Nicola Scott, who gives the readers plenty of Female Gaze). Superman's facial features have been reworked, making him look more youthful and cute.
• Inverted, though, with Supergirl, whose costume shows a lot of leg but otherwise has been notably downplayed in favour of a more ordinary teenaged girl look; Power Girl, who for about a year had a much more modest costume◊ that even lacked her infamous "boob window"; and the Star Sapphires in the Green Lantern books, whose new costumes aren't nearly as Stripperiffic as the old ones.
• Harley Quinn was always a bit fanservicey considering she was a Perky Female Minion; however, most of the time she was completely covered up. She rarely appeared without her harlequin costume, her face coated in makeup, or even her hat off. Batman: Arkham Series started the trend of Harley without the hat and in skimpy outfits. The New 52 embraced this and got rid of her traditional outfit for Girlish Pigtails 100% of the time and casual clothing (often with a midriff baring shirt and short shorts) instead of a costume. Adaptations such as Suicide Squad, Injustice: Gods Among Us, and DC Superhero Girls use the more fanservicey outfit, however Justice League Action uses her classic clothes.

• Archie vs. Predator is a parody of slasher films. It features all the overly ual tendencies that slasher works are known for.
• Afterlife with Archie uses this mostly for Fan Disservice. For example, the twins Cheryl and Jason Blossom are involved in twincest, though whether it's ual or not is not mentioned and it's heavily implied to be abusive.
• The Archie Comics (2015) reboot is designed to be more realistic and contemporary than the classic continuity. The characters still don't have ual relations in the reboot, but the topic at least gets suggested.
• The Josie and the Pussycats reboot which goes with the 2015 reboots uses this trope even more than the other rebooted comics. The characters are in their mid-twenties, unlike previous depictions or the high school Archie characters, which gives the writers the ability to write them as having active lives. Melody is suggested to Really Get Around instead of just being a Dude Magnet while Josie and Alan have had .

• When Mike Grell redesigned the team's costumes, everyone was more Stripperific. Saturn Girl's original costume covered her up entirely and wasn't even drawn to be skintight, but Grell's redesign is essentially a bikini (a later issue (after Saturn Girl had reverted to her original costume) had her actually use it as a bikini at the beach), Cosmic Boy's costume changed colour so that it matches his skin and gave the appearance that he was naked, Phantom Girl got a shutter-style Cleavage Window, and Princess Projectra ran around in a bikini.
• The Retroboot Legion, who are basically the original Legion up to a certain point in their history (though they had gone back to their regular costumes by this point), had this in spades compared to their previous incarnation, the Threeboot Legion. Shadow Lass was back to a bikini, and Phamtom Girl's costume actually got more fanservice-y than her Grell outfit, as it was now skintight on top of her cleavage window.

• Inverted, surprisingly, with Mystique, who usually wears at least some form of clothing in First Class, whereas she spent basically the entirety of her time on-screen (as herself) entirely naked in all three of the previous movies.

• In the book, the yellow dress that Katniss wears at her final interview was supposed to be girlish and understated with a high, modest cut. In the movie, while not designed to overtly flaunt appeal, the dress's design is more mature than what's described in the book.
• Inverted with Glimmer's dress. In the book, she's described as wearing a translucent golden dress. However, in the movie, she girlishly bounces out on stage in a puffy white dress.

• The controllers use pheromones to influence Kurt and Jules to have in the woods, and for Jules to show her breasts when she wouldn't have otherwise.
• The board of potential monsters has a distinction between 'witches' and 'y witches'.

• Then there is Hyuna, whose y solo career has more views on Youtube than when she is working as part of 4minute, her teaser video for What's Your Name has more views than her entire group combined which says the Hotter and Sexier direction is well received.

You know, I used to be in 1D (now I'm out, free)

People want me for one thing (that's not me)

I'm not changing, the way, that I (used to be)

I just wanna have fun and (get rowdy)

• This happened to WWE again in 2004. It opted to make its second Diva Search part of its flagship show, resulting in a collection of pretty models, actresses getting a segment each week for the opportunity to win a contract, and unlike Jamie from the previous year, this time the winner got a pay per view match...which ended up being less wrestling match and more pillow fight. WWE ended up hiring most of the losers anyway and releasing most of its trained women wrestlers. Needless to say, there were a lot less actual wrestling matches between women. This was toned down in 2008 when WWE began to appeal more to families.

• Mimi's number "Out Tonight" became Hotter and Sexier in the transition between play and movie. In the play, the song is y, but it takes place in Mimi's apartment as she prepares to meet Roger. In the movie, its an excuse for Rosario Dawson to do a strip routine.

• Super Robot Wars V also pushes the limit of the rating of the game as it is the first to receive a CERO C due to the fact one of the new series debuted is Cross Ange, the scenes where Ange is stripped is obviously censored with bars of light of course. The TAC point system also yields opportunity to have some fanservice as you unlock higher tiers you are presented to a nude image of Nine (Of course being an android means she has Barbie Doll Anatomy).

• Mass Effect 2 was much Hotter and Sexier than the first game, which had nothing beyond Space Clothes and one rather tame scene near the end. The second game had Asari walking around with Absolute Cleavage, female party members dressed in ridiculously skintight clothing (and in one case nothing but tattoos and strategically placed straps from the waist up), prison rape in backstories, etc. Oddly, the actual scenes ended up being tamer than those in the previous game, with only Jacob and Miranda showing any skin before the Sexy Discretion Shot.
• Mass Effect 3 inverts the trope in both ways as the previous game: your squadmates now wear more conservative clothing this time around (the former squadmate who wore nothing but tattoos from the waist up included), and mentions of outside of romance subplots take a back seat to trying to save the galaxy. On the other hand, the scenes are even more risque than the first game, showing much more skin than before.
• Mass Effect: Andromeda, following the lead of Dragon Age: Inquisition, moves fully into R-rated territory with certain scenes (Jaal, Cora, and Peebee) and, unlike previous games, allows Ryder to have with some characters without entering into a committed relationship.

• Dragon Age II went through a similar progression as Mass Effect 2. In the first game, was present in the game-verse, but the characters didn't wear it on their sleeves, and even though you had y party members, they looked moderately normal. Come the sequel, many of the women have ample bosoms, Everyone Is Bi, half the dialogue of one of your companions consists of jokes, and there is a far greater emphasis on the romance side-quests. On the other hand, two of the female party members (Merrill and Aveline) are not overly ualized; Merrill has moderately-form-fitting but fully-covering robes and light chainmail, while Aveline wears platemail armor for 90% of the game. But, like ME2, the scenes with your romantic partner are more chaste than the original. The characters might kiss and lead each other to bed, but the scene always fades to black before you see anything explicit. Visiting the local brothel is also a much more tame affair.
  • Isabela, however, is an example on her own. In her appearance in Origins, she wore rather silly armor that might qualify as a one piece swim suit with a leather st, though it was not as bad as the typical Chainmail Bikini. Nor was she the only one wearing it. Pretty much all the female light armor was a leather leotard or two piece. In Dragon Age II, she trades it in for a too-small shirt, underwear, and thigh-high boots.
  • Isabela personally makes this change, but compared to the first game's Hot Witch and Token Evil Teammate Morrigan◊, the second game's main party is pretty overdressed.
• Dragon Age: Inquisition has fairly modest armor similar to the first game, but it's also got the most focus on the romantic side-plots of any Bioware game to date, and this time has scenes that feature frontal female nudity from the waist up.

• Final Fantasy IV is no stranger to fanservice, which is unsurprising given the franchise it's from, but compared to the rest of the series is pretty tame aside from the Stripperiffic Rydia and (in the sequel) Porom. The PSP remake of the game however adds visible ual organs to numerous monsters, including asses to the Lamia and Succubus-type enemies and bare breasts to the Leshy, conveniently covered up by the positioning of her arms. In the game's defense though, these enemies always had these attributes, they just weren't as noticeable in previous releases due to the lower-quality graphics.
• FFs I and III are less, and II, IV, V and VI include one or two mild humorous ual moments each. FFVII, liberated from Nintendo's censorship policies, has an elaborate sidequest set in a Red Light District which involves hanging out with transvestites, pretending to be a prostitute, Cloud attempting to sleep with prostitutes, Cloud and Tifa having a heart-to-heart in a BDSM dungeon, and Cloud, Aeris and Tifa threatening to chop, rip or smash a man's penis while interrogating him. There's also a later sidequest which calls back to this. And a Did They or Didn't They? between Cloud and Tifa.
• Final Fantasy X-2 managed to combine this with Lighter and Softer by upping the fanservice and Les Yay to 11 while making everything more cheerful.
• Dissidia: Final Fantasy does this to several characters thanks to its higher-quality graphics allowing 2D sprites and old concept artwork to be fully realized. Terra's alternate outfits provide an escalation of fanservice, baring her legs and midriff and making her quite pretty in the face, while the Cloud of Darkness was based on concept art instead of her sprites, and thus appears as a very shapely female clad in nothing but a cape and a few carefully positioned ribbons. For the female fans, Warrior of Light and Firion have become full Bishōnen with silver hair and muscular builds, Zidane is quite handsome thanks to the more traditional art style, and Kain is simply gorgeous with a head full of long, flowing blonde hair. And that voice...
• Final Fantasy XII, Penelo is fully covered until the ending sequence and the sequel, Revenant Wings, where Penelo wears a less revealing dancer costume. Vaan may be almost shirtless in both games, but in Final Fantasy Tactics A2, he gets a new getup that makes him look more badass and hotter at the same time. And fans totally agree that Basch looks younger and hotter after he shaved up and had some nice haircut.

"Nikki is no longer a limpet-eyed young naif. She has grown, blossomed, "leafed-out and sapped" as it were. And as she has sprouted, so have her desires.... and her means to achieve them."

• Alternately, just a representation of the times/locations. Altair represents the monastic mentality and heavy religious tones of the Crusade era, while Ezio represents the love-of-life vitality of Renaissance Italy.

• Referenced in the parody spinoff Chief Wiggum PI!

Skinner: He's gradually getting away, Chief!
Wiggum: Ah, let him go. I have the feeling we'll meet again, each and every week. Always in more y and exciting ways!...

• The later seasons in general. They've never exactly shied away from making ual references but there's a bit more... blatancy in the later ones. Marge getting breast implants, anyone? Or making out with Lindsay Neagle (in Homer's imagination)?
• Or the beginning of a lesbian threesome between a group of Marge's old friends?

• Case in point: Teri Weigel. She started her career as a Playboy Playmate in 1985. Soon after she posed for the more explicit Penthouse magazine. Eventually, she started appearing in hardcore ographic movies and magazines and even worked for a while as a legal prostitute at the Bunny Ranch brothel in Reno, Nevada.
• Other examples are Amber Easton, Meggan Mallone, Tila Tequila, Vicky 6, Priya Rai, Brianna Frost and Francine Dee.
• B-movie actress Sara St.James aka Jacqueline Lovell, although she never did hardcore.
• This is a typical career progression for the Page Three Stunna. While many girls who do relatively innocuous topless cheesecake shots for national tabloid papers go no further than this, it isn't unknown for them to progress to more explicit work in the tried-and-trusted softcore - hardcore - filmed ography manner. The career of Jane Warner, described on the Page Three Stunna entry, is a notorious case of how it can go really wrong.

• A la Anne Hathaway's switch from The Princess Diaries to Havoc, followed by Love and Other Drugs.
• Another example is Elizabeth Berkley from Saved by the Bell, who starred in the movie Showgirls in an attempt to shed her "good girl" image. It didn't work; the film bombed at the box office and was thrashed by critics, effectively killing Berkley's career.
• Quasi-inversion: Seeing as she started her career playing a 12-year-old prostitute (in Taxi Driver), Jodie Foster had to go the route of "actually doing well in good movies" rather than this. It worked.
