X-Men: Days of Future Past

Are they trying to give him Liefeld anatomy with the new costume?

 

[Kibagami]

Not bad. Not bad all.

 

[Biojex]

I wouldn't agree with "total badass". But it's a'ight. at least it's a costume.

Yeah, they could have done more with it. I need to see it up close, with the helmet.

Looks alot like the comic imo. I think the armour is for defense and so he can levitate himself and so it resembles the ripped torse he has in the comics

Now I can envision what a modern Phantom would like.

Aka 89 Batman

I just think armored up was the wrong way to go. I would have gone with a more regal look. But I'm not totally against this. With Helmet on it's undoubtedly Magneto, and I'd buy a figure of it.

 

[DiFabio]

Again, why does a character that can stop thousands of bullets, need body armor?

It'd be like giving Superman body armor on his suit. It just doesn't make any sense.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I thught you didn't care abut reason why? You said they don't need to explain characters changing costumes each movie

Outfit ruined forever!

I don't. You're the one that's giving reasons to why he'd need it.

I'm just saying, why does a character that can stop knives, bullets, etc. need that cliched tactical armor that all these modern comic book/superhero movie designs seem to have?

A look more like Darth Vader (but not black of course) would have been better in my opinion. Just give him that shoulder armor like in the comics.

 

[Biojex]

Maybe it's to protect from more Beast beatdowns

 

[RIDDICK]

Singer can direct for sure but... Why? Why he's given the freedom in design department? WHYYYY???

Wow really? Does he have freedom in design? Didn't know that.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Accuracy comparison

Pros:
Neck and chest collar design close to comic costume
Cape connects to the above
Armour used to replicate muscular look of torso
Helmet has comic crest and shape

Negs:
No giant diaper
Colours of costume and helmet aren't as red or bright as comic
Armour instead of shredded torso visible through costume

As far as director/costume involvement goes, it could be worse . . .

Well so far I counted 4 nipples on each side of Fassneto's outfit.

Check. Now need to see codpiece and buttock close-ups....

 

[Khev]

It's not horrible and if the movie is somehow spectacular (which I doubt given Singer's track record) then it will even be endearing on account of that but it is just so uninspired.

"Tactical" was awesome in 2005 but I really hate the notion that all superheroes/vigilantes have uniforms designed by Lucius Fox regardless of the cinematic universe. Thank God that junk hasn't crept into the Marvel Studios films (Iron Man doesn't count obviously.)
