Depends on the artist. I prefer the physical object interpretation. It's still more molded to his face than the old visor, but it should not be drawn like they are just red color on his spandex mask. I also think the costume works best with really stylized art and flat colors, the more details you add the less cool it looks. I like Kitty Pryde's current costume cause it's just a basic rear end X-Men outfit. I always preferred X-Men outfits looking like uniforms over superhero costumes.

Mr. Maltose posted:Your X-men uniform would literally be a school uniform. I dig it. This is literally what they're supposed to be, and other than Generation X (which was at a different school), most generations have had them or a variation or update on them. The adults even wore them briefly following the Outback days and X-Men #1. There's obviously variants due to individual looks or powers, and New X-Men had different colors since they were separated into different teams until M Day.

I started reading this thread, and i got kinda confused when i got to wonder woman. She was created solely to be a bondage slut, so isn't it odd when she has a costume that people can't easily slide their hands in? I mean why else would the justice society of america bother making her a secretary? Bet everyone staggered their lunches so they all got a chance to say "hey, want to cum eat out for lunch today? The new miss marvel looks like a genderless thing in a potato sack. The old miss marvel now looks like a lesbian from the 80's. Power girl only existed so DC could compete with black cat. The spider girl pics look like they are of someone who is under age making them technically illegal in most first world countries. Also psylocke was a waste of ink till she got the butt floss costume. Did she ever say any words that mattered? (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Something in this style:  I like the one she had in WatXM:  but it of course doesn't fit her current age in the comic book. Soonmot posted:Huh, I expected FYAD, but it was mostly GBS.

Is Jubilee still a vampire? The last time I saw her was in the X-23 series, being chaperoned by Gambit. I recall her still having the yellow coat, but wearing something not 90s inspired under it, that wasn't bad.

I like it when X-Men have the same color scheme and generic costumes. Sets them apart - they aren't really supposed to be superheroes, after all.

The X-Men were always supposed to be this rogue band of do-godders for me, so I'd agree that the yellow-and-blue look helps to set them apart as an army instead of a superhero team. Then again, my only frames of reference for the X-Men are the 90s animated series and the current films so yeah

Dolash posted:I saw a bit of the Incredibles the other day and was reminded of the Superhero costume designer scene. I was wondering if any comics have ever gone in-depth in-universe about superheroes and their costumes? Is there someone out there making outfits for heroes and villains? Do heroes themselves ever discuss costume trends like the 90s-era Liefield look or how absolutely everyone used to wear spandex? In 2004, Gotham Knights had a story with a guy who made costumes and gear for heroes and villains putting Hush in contact with Prometheus. I don't think he ever got a name, but it was this weird comparison between him looking pretty much just like The Undertaker from wrestling during his biker phase, but being a seamstress for the costume set.

What do people think of the Phoenix Five costumes from AvX?

Not really toys specifically, so much as licensed images that they could also use for video games and everything else. If they wanted to be true to the X-Men's roots, they would have kept them in the standardized black and yellow uniforms. I didn't like the Phoenix Five costumes either, especially Emma's golden stripper outfit and Scott's hawk beak visor thing.

If you look closely, you can see that the sides of her lips are colored differently than her teeth. Arguably that's the colorist trying to cover up for Chris Bachalo, but I don't think he intended for those to be teeth.

I feel like given enough time and enough artist changes, every single female character design will turn into a huge chested model. Pepper Potts used to be a frumpy short lady and now she just looks like she walked off the set of Sex and the City. Hell, I'm sure someone once drew aunt May as a sexy vixen but with grey hair.
