It's bizarre to try to condescend to someone about out of date information about anime, yes, since you were accusing someone else of being stuck in a time warp for caring about it.

I can see both sides on that question.

Pro: Ditko did it! Tradition!
Con: They're dumb and useless (and no, he does NOT use them to glide, shut up) and they detract from the otherwise sleek, formfitting look of his costume.

Very very yay. Spider-man has always seemed to me to be one of the more emotional and expressive characters and without a half mask like Batman or Cap, the eye's seem to the best way to show that.

It completely lends to his cartoonish-side so it's a must. For other characters though not so much.

Spider-Man should mask emote when he's happy and goofy and having fun and being his witty self.

In scenes when he is angry and super serious he should not emote and look angry, but should instead have a non-emoted mask.

# ? Feb 9, 2016 18:47

To answer my own question, I guess, I like it when it's the whole "eye" that changes shapes. Not a fan of only the white part changing while the black outline stays the same shape.

👍 I like them, especially if they're not enormous. They help distinguish his silhouette.

👍👍👍👍👍 I love emoting, and support emoting-mask 100%. If someone wants to try a stylized take on it, though, I love this idea:

Yea to mask emoting but it works best with smaller Ditko-sized eyes so he can go MacFarlane bugeyed when surprised by something, it worked out pretty well in the 90s cartoon series.

That's way too obvious, but maybe that's the joke. Having the eyes change is a nice, subtle use of artistic license.

I like the web pits, but they're definitely not necessary.

web pits only if it let him glide or something.

The author of hxh doesn't put much flair on his characters clothing, he's the same dude who made yu yu hakusho. It doesn't matter much since he characterises them pretty well.

Die Laughing posted:

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!

Now I want to see Doom doing a full Rick Flair shoot, WOOO!, strut and all.

Followed by dropping the cape, taking off one gauntlet, and opening the Marvel Slobberknocker one-shot.

Edit - whoops, wrestling/comics in the Costume thread! Uhhh, distracting callback to the X-Diaper!

I have to have Spider-Man emote through his mask, but I'm a much bigger fan of the big eyes, a la McFarlane, Larsen, Bagley, and Campbell. To me, he always looks creepier and less friendly with the small, Ditko-style eyes.

But I'll be fine.

I heard someone talkin' poo poo about anime costumes

I am also for mask-emoting in general, though especially for Spiderman since his mask covers everything else he could emote with unless someone wanted to put a lot of effort into his body language, which is sort of infeasible and takes up way more page space.

and since this is the BSS costume thread, I will say that I have played a little bit of Marvel Heroes and the two costumes that have convinced me to pay money for them are Luke Cage's Noir costume and Nightcrawler's House of M Costume. I then got really disappointed because the House of M costume has a stupid ponytail.

Jean Grey's new costume is pretty bad:

it looks like she put a modesty towel front and back. Either make it a full skirt with leggings below or leave the skirt part, but that thing doesn't work at all, except maybe if you make it a running gag with her putting on a new, worse, costume every book.

It's just the colors. It's basically Rogue's costume with a partial skirt instead.

The problem with Jean's there is the yellow skirt over the yellow part of the pants. You can't do that.
