Wonder Woman's costume has always been loving awful and we're probably never gonna escape it because it's too ingrained these days. I mean you still have people who want Batman to wear blue and grey despite him being in black for the entire holocene.

I mean you still have people who want Batman to wear blue and grey despite him being in black for the entire holocene. Well that's because in actuality a dark blue will blend into the darkness, whereas a black outfit will actually give you a distinct outline in a dark room.  Also because 'black and grey' is a design that doesn't really pop off the page like blue and grey. It has a habit of just sort of blending into the backgrounds with a lot of artists.

Tentatively, I like it.

Why not just draw Wonder Woman as having badass full-body armor instead of making sure she is always wearing a plate bikini? I mean if you want to go in the direction above but have it be slightly more cool+sensible, she would basically look like a high-level Skyrim character.

I was just pointing out that even a good artist can't save that design. And I'm not saying an anime inspired redesign is automatically bad, just those have all been the lowest common denominator hyper sexualized stereotypes.

Batgirl power ranger is pretty okay, and at least Power Girl's costume is just a few tweaks in that  picture.

She's getting a full body costume with more armor in July. But this ain't the costume thread. It's being discussed there. Teenage Fansub fucked around with this message at 01:06 on Mar 15, 2015 |

Section Z posted:Batgirl power ranger is pretty okay, and at least Power Girl's costume is just a few tweaks in that It's more Gatchaman Batgirl, and it is pretty good. The Green Lantern design from that line/series was pretty cool too. It's Jade, but reimagined as a blind, Chinese national rock-climber. So the ring gives her construct headphones to give her Daredevil-vision, and she gets the F-Sharp Bell version of the oath. And then there's the arc where Black Lantern Flash is just going around being the Flash/Jesse Quick, Ordinary Undead College Girl.

Some years back, one artist pitched a more shoujo-style Wonder Woman, with a younger, more playful Diana, but I am utterly blanking on the artist's name... Which is too bad, because I was always sad it never got off the ground.

It's stupid to rag on an entire category of artists just because there's a few (or more than a few) bad examples. Not only are there are lovely western artists, Sana Takeda did some really fantastic art in the western format.

zoux posted:Who's like that besides Taskmaster? Well, let's see: Constrictor, who was an instructor along with Task Master for the Initiative, and pretty much every C and D lister in and around New York is in it for the money first and foremost. You really don't hear of anyone outside the huge bad guys like Doom or The Wrecking "We totally beat the Avengers" Crew who goes in for big "R" Revenge. Sure, it becomes personal for some but then saving their own necks takes precedence. \/\/\/That was really one of the best fight scenes I've seen in a superhero movie. That they were able to cast Georges St.Pierre for Batroc (Ze Leapair) was amazing. Lars Blitzer fucked around with this message at 02:06 on Mar 15, 2015 |

Batroc is in it for the money and the challenge. He doesn't HATE Captain America, he just knows Cap is The Man, and To Be The Man, You Gotta Beat The Man.

No, no, the point of ballast is that you can drop it when you need to go faster- wait a minute...
