I mean, it's fine, it looks like a picture of Superman putting his boots on. I'm not entirely sure why "ugh, I just woke up ten minutes ago and I have to go fight an evil eye thing, I'm gonna get dressed really slowly to give myself time to wake up" is the vibe they went with, but... okay?

Suit looks bad without 'em. You need to break up all that blue.

It only looks like he's going slow, he's actually moving at super-speed, you just can't tell from a still image :v:

There's a reason why trunks have vanished from the super hero lanscape. They're an outdated concept and look silly. You can justify them however one wants, they look stupid.

Eventually they will be done away with on Superman like they've been done away with every other hero.

Time will make that the case.

If you got rid of everything that looks stupid about superhero costumes then we just end up back in the 2000s with the black leather X-Men

Yeah, I assume the intent is more "not so average" joe getting ready to go to work. Which is very much the vibe I want in Superman, though I can see the argument the image doesn't pull it off.

The closer Superman is to his classic look the better the uniform is. No trunks are just off no matter how long they are that way in the book.

"It stuck until it didn't stick" isn't really a meaningful statement. That is the definition of it not sticking.

And even in the time frame they were doing that other stuff still had him in trunks.

It's not like Bendis barged in and just pushed over some beancounters or something. Jim Lee both designed the trunkless suit for New 52 that kicked things off and was co-publisher of DC when the suit switched back to classic.

Nah, it's called modernization. Costumes get updated and changed as time goes on. Take Spider-Man, his look is considered perfect by most people. A classic. A true unique design, especially for the time of it's creation. But we've still had redesigns, updates and various takes on the costume. Marvel is doing this big time, even with Captain America who had a pretty standard look for much of his history. Certain elements of the costume stays true but it's been changed and re designed. Updated. That's kind of how it goes nowadays. Same with Batman. Does every look land? No, but a lot of them tend to be pretty drat cool and true to the character. They work for the most part. Not always, but that's the thing with costumes. They change. They will keep changing. A little this, a little that. A tweak here. A tweak there. As long as the costume is true to the character most folks are happy.

Costumes change but there is a distinct iconic look they tend to gravitate towards and no matter how far away from that they get they'll eventually get back there.

It doesn't have to be the costume they started with (Catwoman is a great example here) but there's only so much deviation from the basic look you get before it stops looking like the character

No one's going to argue about tweaking costumes but specifically with Superman's trunks, if you remove them then at best you're just trading one problem for another. Like sure, you can get rid of Captain America's pirate boots, nobody needs to wear that particular style. But the trunks aren't superfluous, they work in the design. When other characters lose trunks they usually get some overhaul of the costume or other stuff like piping or belts or whatever is added. The New 52 trunkless look gave him all these armour seams, which broke up the look of a blue onesie (and were superfluous) or later in the trunkless era the belt became much more prominent and glitzy, but I would argue once you start making the belt more of a big deal like that you take away from the shield.

What? The no trunks started in new 52 Superman #1 in the fall of 2011 and bendis run started may 2018. That�s less than a decade also I believe jurgens, tomasi and the artists wanted to bring the red trunks back in 2016 during rebirth but Dan Didio blocked them for movie synergy.

People upset about the red trucks back are like the hicks still crying about the confederacy. It�s over let it go.

I think Batman is a unique case in regards to how much his costume changes based on whoever is writing and drawing him. And it fits the character as well, someone who constantly tries to improve himself and pick up new things. That's cool.

Erotica Jones AKA Stripperella is an extremely attractive dancer. Many people are jealous of Erotica's bust size, especially her coworkers, and she enjoys her extremely revealing outfits because she enjoys showing off her irresistible "assets".

Skin Immunity: Stripperella is impervious to temperature and weather conditions, allowing her to wear a bikini in the snow.

Breast Expansion: Instantly expanding her big bust. She holds her breath and they inflate to increase a few bra-sizes.

Hairachute: Stripperella's hair is so thick, luxuriant, and extravagant that it can be used as an effective parachute.

I remember Who Wants to be a Superhero, and one of the contestants was a load of fun to watch and he got really into character and was a fan favorite (at least on these here forums), but he got eliminated because Stan Lee constantly poo poo on the guy for being a former male stripper. I'll never forgive him for that.

Also he kept making up rules of things that superheroes don't do, which were very easily contradicted by decades of comic books, like "Superheroes don't reveal their secret identities!"

It was... particularly exploitative, even for a reality TV elimination show from 2008 designed to cast a glorified extra for a Saw movie. One of the more memorable "challenges" was having the girls eat pieces of fruit seductively only for them to be called out for acting like porn stars and not storytellers.

Gunn's made some truly great stuff. Even early on. But the whole thing is set firmly in his bowling shirts and frosted tips era. Unsettlingly skeezy in a way that might all be an elaborate joke, but probably not. There's a fairly in-depth video on Youtube about it. Can't remember the name of the channel.

Disney confirmed the stories that have been unofficially reported for a while now:

Marvel output is being significantly reduced, especially streaming TV content, going forward and focusing on "big events" and "quality over quantity."

There won't be any changes to the announced release schedule until 2026 and they aren't planning on cancelling a bunch of projects, but are going to spend significantly more time on them (especially Kevin Feige and moving back to a system where he oversees and directly works on all MCU projects) and pace out their release.

They said the goal is two TV series a year and two movies per year, with a possibility for three if it is a big event or interconnected films.

Mostly just confirming the unofficial reporting, but the specific targets for amount of content (roughly halved for streaming and 1/3 less for movies) is new.

https://twitter.com/THR/status/1788041243051577461

quote:

Disney is planning to reevaluate its slate of films and TV shows from Marvel Studios, with the company set to reduce its output from the comic book franchise studio.

On Disney�s fiscal second-quarter earnings call, Disney CEO Bob Iger told analysts that the company is finally moving away from �a vestige, basically a desire in the past to increase volume.

�I�ve been working hard with the studio to reduce output and focus more on quality, that�s particularly true with Marvel,� he added.

What will that mean for Marvel�s upcoming films and TV shows? This year�s slate, highlighted by Deadpool & Wolverine, won�t be impacted, but it will be felt in future years.

�We�re slowly going to decrease volume and go to probably about two TV series a year instead of what had become four, and reduce our film output from maybe four a year to two or at the maximum three,� Iger added. �And we�re working hard on what that path is, we�ve got a couple of good films in �25 and then we�re heading to more Avengers, which we�re extremely excited about.� Avengers: The Kang Dynasty is listed for 2026.

The future of Marvel has been a hot-button topic for Disney, with the past few films underperforming. By reducing both film and TV output, Iger is suggesting that the company plans to make the films more of an event, rather than a quarterly obligation.

They did four or five shows per year from 2021 through 2023. They had 5 shows scheduled for 2023, but blew up the schedule and delayed many of them.

They have 7 series that were originally supposed to be released in 2023 and 2024, but are all currently delayed indefinitely - except for Daredevil which was delayed until "the first half of 2025."

Edit: I guess Vision Quest sort of has a release date because the director says it will be "sometime in the next two years" and "before 2026."
