I think it woulda been cooler if his origin was somehow related to getting another Falcon suit prototype and weaponizing it. I have literally no idea what they're doing for this movie.

Remember, Sony are involved in it.

Yeah. I don't know how much they can incorporate MCU-side stuff, or if they even want to.

It just seemed like a more "organic" fit for the movies, since you have already established these test suits and could have them be an inspiration for a weaponized version. Maybe Hammer Industries being involved and engineering something based off of the Falcon suit with a more lethal spin and flair, as he likes to do. Hammer working with Osborn to make tech that's sort of a twisted take on the Avengers. A... dark Avengers, if you will.

Alternatively, this may be his first look and he later upgrades to a full-on suit.

I know I'm going to sound really defensive, especially since some people think its destined to bomb and fail because Sony will somehow gently caress this up, but I'm sure Michael Keaton will make it work, when has he given a bad performance?

I'm not making any commentary on the performance or the movie quality. I just think that costume is ugly.

Now is a perfect time to do a film version of a story arc like Reign or the Dark Avengers now that a less competent Norman Osborn is running this country

Yeah, this is his first suit and his final one is a green tactical suit and helmet with green eyes that is in the concept art. Shocker also has a homemade suit and the Tinkerer is in the movie, so the theory is that the Tinkerer builds both of them "final" suits.

I think it's fair enough. If Vilture is being done as a street level baddie, it'd be fine for him having a sort of utilitarian or thrown-together-looking suit.

Actually, that's a pretty good point. What I want though, is a slight color variation on the bomber jacket look. Blood red helmet, black bomber jacket with the white collar and make the pants brown in stead of green.

It should look like something that someone who was scavenging for scraps would throw together hastily. You have 2 minutes to assemble a full villain costume from this dumpster of generic henchman castoffs - GO!

I see the extended cut of Suicide Squad is on streaming, has anyone bothered to watch it? Is is like BvS where it makes a bad movie mediocre?

There was also a thing I heard on a podcast is that DC lightening up (or at least looking like they are) is probably a good idea, the next 4 years is going to suck and having depressing and dark superhero movies isn't exactly going to go over well.

Well Iron Man is in the movie, so I don't think mentioning the Falcon exists would be crossing a line. Even with Sony's involvement I think it's pretty firmly in the MCU.

I've heard the opposite, the extra stuff apparently is inconsequential and messes up the only part of the movie that has any flow. I've not seen it myself as I have no desire to revisit the film.

It was always going to get lighter after the movie about how shady corporate powers manipulate popular hysteria to kill good. The only way is up :v:
