How Reed REALLY Thinks Of Sue (NSFW)

Mike DeCarlo recreated the opening splash of Fantastic Four #27... with a bit of risque twist.
So here's the question I have... The original comic this was based on was published in 1964. Sue was treated in a very misogynistic manner back then, which should come as no surprise -- many women were treated in such a way, especially ones in fiction. This recreation was made in 2008 and we can generally recognize in hindsight the poor treatment of women in the '60s. So does this drawing emphasize and draw attention to the issues back then by exaggerating them and making Sue a more obvious sexual object? Or is it simply a perpetuation of female objectification?

I suspect the latter, but I'd be curious to hear others' opinions.
