No, not at all. A 13-year old boy's opinion does not affect me at all. I was just curious why people hated you and now I know why.
Thank you.
Oh, and by the way, stay away from rubber.

And common sense should also dictate that capes be done away with. Symbolism is all well and good but they are a potential hazard and hindrance when it comes to practicality in crime fighting.
Exactly. You know what another issue is, though? None of the crimes, or villains, or motivations or abilities of the protagonists, or even situations in general are "realistic" enough in comic movies. Or really, in any movies or TV shows at all. I want to follow a real detective around for 2 hours in "real" time. You know, a guy sitting at his desk, probably filling out paperwork for some mundane convenience store robbery. Drinking coffee, maybe he'll use the toilet or engage in some banal chit-chat. "Real." Let's get it done, Snyder.Yeah, well. Why not just ditch the whole unrealistic superhero thing altogether and make them regular detectives or policemen.
We should be embracing lycra, crazy outfits and outside pants. Otherwise what's the point.
For a while back Hollywoods answer to translating any superhero to the screen was:
(A) Darken all the colours until they are nearly black.
(B) Make everything from leather or rubber. Lots of piping and zips, they make it more believable.
Y'know, that's more realistic.
****ingyawn.
Forget "realism" and start thinking about "believability" - there's always some suspension of disbelief involved, but the less you have to think about it, the more successful the result, IMO.
Someone wearing underwear over lycra tights just looks silly - and a natural reaction for anyone seeing someone else dressed like that would be - WTF? Followed by laughter. It's not believable that someone who shows any fashion sense in their daily lives (regardless of how you define it), would then dress up in a clown costume unless their goal was not to be taken seriously - such as entertaining at a kids' party.
Same with the capes. And colorful outfits. And animal themed ears on helmets/masks. And spandex, or leather (even black leather) jumpsuits in general. etc. There is no honest threshold where one of these things makes sense and the others don't. You suspend disbelief on this order the minute you walk into the theater to watch comic book characters fighting evil villains. It's a stylistic choice, fine. But let's not try to argue that the undies are the one thing pushing this over into the realm of unbelievable silliness.
