redbackground posted:Yes, "business suit", "long-sleeve shirt and pants" and "white button-down" are absolutely just the worst things I've ever seen all right. It's mostly the green one that bothers me but all the rest are at best generic and uninteresting. Travis343 posted:The outfits are pretty generic, but so is everything about that image.

He forgot the jacket and thigh-high boots if he's crossplaying as Emma Frost.  (I still say she jacked that look from Lady Mastermind...)

Nessus posted:Is the American Dream there Dusty Rhodes' secret super-soldier daughter? First of all, I would like to thank the many, many fans throughout this country that wrote cards and letters to Shannon Carter, the American Dream, while I was down. Secondly, I want to thank Marvel Comics for waiting and taking the time, because I know how important it was — Secret Wars 2015 - it is to the comic fans and it is to Marvel Comics. And Shannon Carter, the American Dream, with that wait, got what I wanted: Doctor Doom, the god of Battleworld! I don't have to say a lot more about the way I feel about Doctor Doom! No respect! No honor! There is no honor among thieves in the first place. He put hard times on Shannon Carter and her family. You don't know what hard times are, daddy! Hard times are when the mutants around this country are out of work and got four, five kids from different timelines, and can't pay their wages, can't buy their food. Hard times are when the auto workers are out of work and they tell them 'Go home!'. And hard times are when a man had his own book thirty years — thirty years! — they give him a crossover, kick him in the butt and say 'Hey, a Inhuman took your place, daddy!'. That's hard times! That's hard times. And Doctor Doom, you put hard times on this country by taking Shannon Carter out. That's hard times! And we all had hard times together. I admit, I don't look like the heroes are today supposed to look. My belly is just a little big, my hiney is just a little big, but brother, I am bad, and they know I'm bad. And there were two bad people: one was Captain Marvel — and he's dead, brother — and the other one is right here! Victor Von Doom, the Infinity Gauntlet belongs to these people. I'm gonna reach out right now. I want you at home to know, my hand is touching your hand for this gathering of the biggest body of people in this country, in this universe, all over the world. Now reach it out! Because the love that was given me — and this time I will repay you, now. Because I will be the next wielder of the Infinity Gauntlet, on this Hard Times Blues Shannon Carter 2015 tour! And Doctor Doom, god of Battleworld, let me leave you with this: One way to hurt Doctor Doom is to take what he cherishes more than anything in the world. That's the Infinity Gauntlet! I will take it. I've been there twice. This time, when I take it, daddy, I'm gonna take it for you. Let's gather for it! Don't let me down now, 'cause I came back you, for that man up there that died ten, twelve years ago, that never got the opportunity to see a real wielder of the Infinity Gauntlet. I'm proud of you and thank god I have you. I love you. Love you!

In regards to Hunter x Hunter: I haven't watched the series, but I did watch the creator's previous series Yu Yu Hakusho, and HxH seems to keep his general aesthetic of very simple, Chinese inspired costumes. Consider Genkai, Koenma, Botan, etc. They're all very plain and traditional looking. Even Yusuke and crew are essentially one primary color school uniforms. Drawing a weekly series is hard work, and keeping characters super simple helps to alleviate that pressure. The guy already has pretty bad health problems to cope with, to the point that some of his drawings look like they were done on bar napkins, he probably didn't want to have to draw really complex characters on top of that. That said...yeah, they're not great looking no matter how much you explain the rationale behind them.

I'm having a hard time thinking of any anime designs that aren't terrible. And I don't even hate anime. Gundams look cool and look how much they have to milk that. (Let's not make this the anime costume thread)

Lurdiak posted:Hunter X Hunter was a thing like 10+ years ago, what kind of time warp are you friends stuck in? You mean the franchise which had a new series that started in 2011 and which ended last year? Gosh, I don't know Lurdiak. I just can't figure that one out. Plethora posted:Holy crap I didn't know that. It's also worth noting that "HxH is the most generic thing ever" is an intentional starting design point because the series is both a love letter and a criticism of the traditional anime show and specifically uses the initial genericness to subvert expectations. It has some really creative and interesting design work but it shows up more later on (and runs into the author's heath problems which the animated adaptation helps cover.) It also began in 1998 and was influencial enough that a lot of other popular Japanese things borrow from it rather than vice-versa. ImpAtom fucked around with this message at 16:28 on Feb 9, 2016 |
