Close Your Eyes And Imagine The Captain America Costume

[scikaiju]

Not looking or sounding good. I'm really annoyed by this whole idea that the comicbook inspired costume is being used as the one he hates. Yeah lets kick the movie off with a middle finger to the source material. Nice. :disappoin

They could be talking about this one

From my understanding Roger changed it to his more traditional look because he wasn't happy with it either.

I would prefer the Ultimates Universe style, but the helmet design isn't that bad.

Though when Thor rolls around, I definitely want him in Ultimates style, and not classic.

We've seen spy pictures. The Thor movie costume is the current Marvel Comics' version.

Ain't It Cool has the confirmed production artwork of the costume. The guy who previously saw the costume at JoBlo confirms.

Definite Ultimate stylings.

I like that.

Very disappointing. Pretty much the kind of copout I was expecting. Nolan armor goes bicentennial. Not to say it's totally horrible. It isn't. Hey it ain't a Schumacher suit. But he just kinda looks like a GI Joe figure. Brown looks like **** against his colors. Chinstrap looks silly. No wings=fail.

How is it a cop out? I mean if you don't like it cool, but cop out? Come on.

What I mean is in the sense that they went the Ultimate route and armor route, left the wings out, etc. To me it feels like a copping out from being a superhero costume because it's embarrassed of the source material kind of thing.

I get that not everything about what works on the page works on film but I think this stuff often gets so over-thought. But as I said in another post for me as a superhero fan and a viewer I think bringing the character to life is just more important than wedging the whole thing into this narrow box of "realism". That's not to say I want the suits on film to look like halloween costumes but I just think there is often an over-estimation of won't work and an under-estimation of what will when it comes to this stuff in way that kinda sucks the fun out of it (by fans and pros alike) IMO.

Still needs the silly little wings. If I wanted realism I wouldn't be interested in a story about a guy who fights a war with only a shield becomes frozen then saved by the Norse thunder God, a drunken guy in a metal shell, and two people that can grow or shrink. Also that suit looks too complex and out of place for a WWII period place.

I'm assuming that's why young Howard Stark is involved in the film. Materials technology.
