X-Men: Days of Future Past

Maybe he had the armor to defend against things other than metal...or to defend against things like bullets that he didn't know were coming...or maybe you people complain too much...

Or maybe, just maybe, they're right and it's a completely ridiculous notion. It looks like he's ready to compete in motocross.

Guys. It's a superhero movie. There are going to be costumes. It's a COSTUME. Not street clothes. It can look crazy. It's probably more of a statement by Erik that he's above everyone else than anything functional, although we know his helmet definitely has a purpose.

No matter what they do with movie, people will complain. It's just a fact. Make one group happy and another is upset.....make the upset group happy and the other group gets upset. Nerds complain about almost every facet of this stuff. It MUST live up to their perseonal vision or it sucks.

And no matter what, people will complain about the complainers. And then people will comment on the people complaining about the complainers...and then someone will complain about that and then someone will complain about THAT!!!!!!! And then.......darkness falls across the land.

Maybe Magneto wears metal so he can levitate himself?

Or maybe because he wanted to look dumb?

Singer just can't come up with good looking uniforms.

Why would anything beyond metal boot soles be necessary?

 

[Deckard]

Can't think of a single Singer X-Men character that looks good. He makes the worst possible decisions on costumes. Only a gay man would put Wolverine in a full leather body suit. Magneto went from that 3 piece dress and tunic to looking like a spur of the minute comic con kid that threw something togeather with foam board. The Sentinels look like ****, Bishop looks obscure and out of place.

Or a piece of metal in his pocket, a wrist watch, the tab of a soda can....

 

[EVILFACE]

Mystique is about it.

 

[Deckard]

Mystique gets a pass because shes a nude supermodel. But even that doesn't really change the fact that the scales and hairline look attrocious.

 

[EVILFACE]

That's true. Of the X flicks, the only costumes that looked good to me are Juggernaut and Sebastian Shaw with the helmet/suit looked classy.

Sums it up nicely

First Class did a great job all around. Just have them in civies most of the time, nothing wrong with that. The suits at the end being flight suits were also a good idea that made sense and allowed them to look like a team for a fight.

But I'd rather see Fassbender in the plainest of clothes playing Nazi Hunter than suffer through another moment of anything with pregnant Halle Berry or leather bondage gear.

Nice Result.

 

[karamazov80]

They are seriously rating youtube trailers as if they are box office numbers or something? I guess keyboard cat is the internet equivalent of ET, Titanic, and Avatar all rolled into one.

This might be a case of retroactively punishing the first two X-movies for some of the crimes commited in Returns. Nothing about the X-Men suits from X1/X2 looked flamboyant to me. Trying too hard not to look like dorky superheroes maybe, but not village people levels (though Thunderbird may change that).

It was thanks to Ratner that we got the biggest sledgehammer-over-the-head parallel to LGBT in Angel. Singer dropped a hint for Archangel in X2.

Anyway, this could of course be a major disappointment. I just want more mutant 1/6 scale representation.

 

[karamazov80]

I'll overlook crappy costumes if the movies are good, but like I said before, I wish they would take one of two approaches:

1) do like First Class and stick to regular civilian clothes, or do something that genuinely looks like pseudo-military attire with the flight suits;

or

2) go ***** out and do completely comic-styled attire a la Spider-Man, Iron Man, and Batman. Those outfits may look slightly cheesy in their way, but they have stood the test of time for a reason in the comics. The audience isn't going to think the stuff here, or in X1 is somehow more believable and cool than comic styled stuff.

 

[Frank]

Is it really crappy or just meh? If crappy is anything less that awesome, then alright. They just don't take alot of chances generally and I'm kind of grateful. No prosthetic popeye arms to be seen yet!
