Actually, there is some realism in that a person who really lives a lifestyle foul of fighting and adventuring(martial artist, superhero, explorer, and so on) is gonna be fit because otherwise they would get slaughtered by the dark lord or monster of the week. Your point still stands about the fantasy part, but of course these fuckers wouldn't get either one. Seeing my local comic con shows just why this keeps happening. The majority of fanboys/girls are FAT AS FUCK. The only ''hot'' female cosplayer who actually was slim and looked okay and she was like late 40s-early 50s. But beyond that, neckbeards and beyond. So I guess we can't blame the companies too much since it's economic supply and demand. You live in Australia, CMIIW, so I'm assuming your guy;s situation isn't any better than here in the US, right?
