Function Ranking/Relative Size
- The poster actually does a good job of ranking the characters in the poster by their importance in the film. Star Lord is made out to be the biggest character since he holds the main role, but Gamora is our female character on the poster that is the second largest.
Feminine Touch/Licensed WIthdrawal
- All characters are holding weapons and looking away from the camera, so there is an equal distribution of gender displays in the poster that go against the norm of objectifying the female characters.
Modern Shift/Ritual of Subordination
- Gamora and Drax are both wearing revealing costumes, so there is a sense of equality between the ways that their bodies are displayed on the poster.
Overall, this poster is relatively equal in its gender displays. One could argue for more females on the poster, but Gamora is not treated distinctly differently in her presentation than other characters on the poster.
