I dunno I think it looks substantially less comfortable, especially in cold weather. At least Margot Robbie gets to wear a T-shirt. e: oh and a jacket, that's not so bad  all those chains are gonna pinch and get really cold, plus the mud has gotta just suck

And to think that the original version has what is by comics standards a fairly practical costume... I mean, the booties and witch hat are kinda doofy but at least she's mostly covered. She even gets a scarf!

And it's not like Enchantress' typical costume isn't sexy enough - green tights, corset, cloak, or her New52 green tunic/black tights both would be fine given the visual language they've got going for DCMU. :-/

I know that post-1999/2000/2001 it's so played out to say "catering to the Hot Topic crowd" that for years I thought the saying was just a time capsule of that era, but "catering to the Hot Topic crowd" is no-joke 100% what it looks like everything in the DCEU is going for with Suicide Squad at the front of the pack.

It's a bit ridiculous that Killer Croc wears more than Harley or Enchantress, but I guess crocodile men can wear a lot if they want to.

It's not a look I would associate with a character called the Enchantress, but this nails the vibe it's going for. If only they could have figured out a way to do it other than skimpy chainmail, that had to be the worst to try and act in.

Well the chainmail and tattoos and hair are alright. Horror movies already are about cheap sexualization more than horror so I think she does give the impression of a horror movie witch. But the dirt all over her is bad. I think there had to be a way to make her look more witchy, scary, corrupted and less like she rolled in dirt. If you look at the magic effects in the trailer it even looks like she has flies buzzing around her. Of course they couldn't make her TOO scary, wouldn't want anything scarier than THE HORROR that is JARED LETO AS THE JOKER (this is sarcasm, they've been posting lovely stories about how scary he is and it's really stupid)

She does have another look in the film, but who knows if it's her final form or an earlier version and she gets dirtier or even maybe something weird where this is what she thinks she looks like but she's actually all dirted up?

enchantress has both naught and nice personalities. probably how evil she is is how dirty she is. I'd have loved to put in some weird body horror and make her look more diseased or rotting when possessed instead of "Soap and warm water! How did you know my one weakness???"

The gimmick is the original character submerges herself in a bathtub full of muck (blood I suppose) and comes out looking like that permanently.  Also there are stink waves but I like the stink waves.  Stink waves are hot y'all

To be fair, the more he wears, the less time they need to use to put prosthetics and make up on him. I wouldn't have minded them either going the route they did with Deadpool's Colossus to make him more monstrous, or finding their own giganto-monster like Batista or Brock Lesnar, for someone more physically imposing.

Ygolonac posted:Like this? You bet. Those look like some Killer _____ (Moth, Croc, ect) to me. At 6'10, Kevin Nash was pretty intimidating as both The Russian in The Punisher (Thomas Jane) and Super Shredder (TMNT2:SotO). I just looked it up, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje and Will Smith are the same height at 6'2, so he's probably already got platforms on. I also just learned that Adewale voices Major Lazer in the cartoon. Camera angle probably helps, but Colossus being as big as he was on the screen as in the comic was a real treat.

Guys like The Rock and Batista and John Cena are exceptional. What he said. Look at Blade: Trinity (my condolences) and see the glory that is Triple H.  Or Steve Austin and Randy Couture in The Expendables. Wrestlers nowadays have to provide more non-physical selling of their characters/plotlines, but the majority of their product is still flippy poo poo to varying degrees.

VagueRant posted:Totally forgot to respond to these posts the other day: It's an outfit symbolic of light and innocence. I don't think it's a good idea to put a character whose entire defining feature is "superpowered rape survivor" back into something bright and cheery. I know they did it in the comics. It was a dumb move there too. An updated costume? Sure. I love that. The exact same one? Uh... quote:Genuinely couldn't tell if this was sarcastic. That looks silly, but way more interesting and not that much sillier than weird baseball t-shirt girl. Serious. Yes the model looks good in that picture and almost anyone with a working penis would agree it's sexy, but in-motion it would not look good. This was an outfit designed for hand-drawn Art Deco animation, not wire harnesses and real-world lighting. I don't get the hate for the movie outfit anyway. It's not as bad as "DC why the gently caress are you still putting the Japanese flag on her head?" Katana outfit they ran with. They wanted Harley and the Joker to look trashy, and they succeeded. Nothing really mystical about it. quote:Oh, drat. Was this in X:A? First I've seen of it. Mask/helmet looks like it could be legit cool. Maybe if they put the kind-of effort they put into the Dredd helmet, but getting the proportions constantly right out in various shots so it doesn't look stupid would be way more trouble than its worth. I'm on record for thinking Bryan Singer's X-Men costumes are visual cancer for consistently muting the color palette and refusing to incorporate all but the barest threads of what made the original looks striking and memorable... but this is one case where he really was right. Endless Mike posted:It's mostly because spandex doesn't work the way comics would have you believe. It doesn't hug every crease and bulge on your body like paint; it has more of an effect of smoothing those out. It's also why the DC movies keep putting in sculpted abs. Case-in-point, this is Arnold Scharwzenegger near his physical peak in The Running Man:
