why do movie costumes have to look so armored? something like this is a lot more accurate to how the comics look.

Because that's what's cool to normies. Nobody cares about accuracy.

>nips

rip OP

This. Normies still think that comic book movies need to be realistic

This. Everytrhing has to be practical and realistic which defeats the purpose of fantasy to begin with

This

Also, when will women learn to stand up strait? Posture does so much for one's apperance.

But much of it is not strictly "magical" fantasy. For a character who isn't bulletproof or magical to go into battle, it makes perfect sense to have armor built into the suit to some degree. The only one I can think of that I'm really miffed about there is Daredevil, who they made too armored, and as a result, his fighting style isn't as acrobatic and agile as it should be. For someone like Captain America on the other hand, it makes perfect sense for someone who is essentially a soldier to have military bulletproofing, even if he can usually block with his shield, it's not completely foolproof.

the problem is people trying to make it make sense in the first place. it's a ridiculous concept from the start and should be embraced that way. i hate going to superhero movies with my friends and they end up hating it because something wasn't explained well enough in grounded reality, so therefore they end up thinking it's bad because it's fake.

Harley's original costume is velvet, not spandex.

Trying to drag it down in reality hurts in none the less. I enjoy Cap's TFA outfit because it was a decent in between but forcing something that already has a fantastic premise to be serious is dumb

The spandex/bodypaint look in comics is stupid and we all know it. We're just used to it being the norm.

because the armored look is pretty nice
I always leaned more towards heavily protected, covered costumes, even for more agility based hereoes with a reason to shed armor, I still gravitate towards at least a padded look to shrug off fists

You just want an excuse to have actresses naked onscreen
I approve

>Trying to drag it down in reality hurts in none the less
I think it can be part of the fun, because you're not just presenting a straight up fantasy, you're presenting a path by which the fantastic might become reality.

It worked with X-Men

Keeping this in the context of cape movies the more you add on the more fantastic it becomes. Then the realistic tone clashes with the extravagant

>Then the realistic tone clashes with the extravagant
This is why internal consistency is key. It's good when writers and filmmakers show how fantastic events and inventions affect the "normal" of that world.

My, what saggy baggies OP...

>events and inventions affect the "normal" of that world
All they really do is:
"Wow [insert fantastic element here] is happening. That's ridiculous!" and it's played for laughs

or

"[extraordinary thing] is a menace and we need to get rid of it all together!" And one side is played overly villainous

Both those people are white.

Shit that looks good in comics looks crap in real life
Old news

I like that idea too.

Perfect fits for Harley tho
