At what point capeshit costumes stop being fun and become ridiculous? What are some costumes you personally find silly?
At what point capeshit costumes stop being fun and become ridiculous? What are some costumes you personally find silly?
Daniel Stewart
Evan Brooks
When they're poorly designed
Kayden Campbell
His costume would look better if it covered his neck and mouth too.
Kevin Hernandez
I don't fault older costumes for being bad because they're usually a product of their time, but some costumes just suck.
Zachary Hughes
I want to note that there is always that one artist that makes bad costume work, but a good costume should work with the majority of artists, even bad ones
Asher Fisher
How can you call yourself a master of fire if your face isn't constantly burning?
Eli Powell
I always wanted a Hank Hill version of Endeavor.
>"I'm the clean burning hero I tell ya what"
Josiah Davis
I always felt like Sunfire's was a cool mixture of toku hero and masked wrestler.
Ryan Johnson
>"That boy Todoroki ain't right I tell ya want"
Wyatt Phillips
people actually think this looks cool?
Landon Russell
The skirt makes it look like a blatant Green Arrow knockoff and the jacket is just laughable. Horrible design. Love the 90s one the most for him
Oliver Fisher
>people actually think this looks cool?
I think its pretty hot to be honest
Mason Harris
Not Sunfire, he only had pretty rad costumes.
Jordan Sullivan
>At what point capeshit costumes stop being fun and become ridiculous?
Never you fucking casual, get out.
Matthew Watson
The only superhero I just plain think looks like shit is Firestorm. Just.. Firestorm.
Justin Hill
>shitting on Sunfire
Fuck you round-eye
Joshua Sanders
Luke Nelson
This costume is amazing tf?
James Moore
Step up your game
Carter Hall
>a fucking dress
Jayden Davis
Caleb Gutierrez
He did downgrade the helmet later on
Ryan Hill
Toshinori, you giblet head!
Joshua Brooks
Hue
Sebastian Diaz
I have a feeling his mask was supposed to resemble a samurai mask but looks more like a butterfly
I like this though
Jackson Adams
bump
Christopher Reyes
Firestorm does look bad. A lot of Golden Age heroes too.
Xavier Anderson
Not just any dress, a peek-a-boo minidress.
Levi Evans
Firestorm is from the late 70's. Also I always felt he looked like a Marvel hero.
Samuel Taylor
but that was good
Nicholas Morgan
Maximus' costumes in Kirby's FF were intentionally crazy and ostentatious to fit his personality, the false king wearing elaborate costumes he thinks befit his position. The more restrained costumes of modern times were a mistake.
Christian Morales
This design is actually pretty good though, it's just anime as fuck
Benjamin Lopez
I't weird he has had tons of costumes over the years and somehow the one from the secret invasion mini sticks like glue
William Williams
He gave that costume to Kate Bishop
Grayson Rivera
Wolverine's winged ear things.
In a fight, those would be as much a tactical disadvantage as pony tails FFS.
Lucas Ward
But what if your whole body was on fire.
Aiden Parker
I love Dr.Alchemy original costume. The one when he called himself Mr.Element. It was silly yes but the cool kind (in my taste) because im the kind of user that loves weirdness.
Jeremiah Jenkins
This is especially shit because classic hawkeye is based
Brody Martinez
Hot=/=good.
Aiden Gutierrez
>ridiculous
>stops being fun
Motherfucker, capeshit is fun because it IS ridiculous.
Ayden Martin
>capeshit
Please fuck off back to Yea Forums and stay gone.

The 90s resulted in a lot of ridiculous outfits meant to look cool, but the 00s is when they tried to make them all look tacticool and get rid of anything that looked too flamboyant or ridiculous.
Tbh Piper kinda represents the change pretty well despite having minimal costume changes.
Intro (1960s) to COIE (1985) he wore a tunic that looked like a minidress with tights.
Late 80s he was given thigh highs, an open shirt that still was supposed to be a tunic, but added the cloak.
He actually stopped appearing in that for a few years in Waid’s run and appeared in civvies since he doesn’t have a secret identity and helped Wally that way.
Then late 90s hit and got pants, silver shin guards, and silver shoulder pads.
Then in 00s Kolins straight up said he thought Piper looked ridiculous and didn’t like him because of that, so Johns redesigned him to look cooler, hence the black/dark green body suit, weird harness, and ratty cloak.
Camden Sanders
He oriental and their shit is usually garish. looks right to me
Ryan Wright
>capeshit
>comics and cartoons
Your hatred amuses me.
Carter Foster
Daredevil's OG yellow costume was stylish as hell, though obviously extremely dated.
Gabriel Phillips
Piper during the Messner-Loeb late 80s era genuinely reminds me of Link for Legend of Zelda.
Anyway, they should use him more. Last I recall seeing him he was just some therapist in a few panels.
Michael Ortiz
>despite having minimal costume changes.
sorry meant DUE to minimal costume changes. Pretty much got a new one every major era.
His 2011-2019 outfit doesn't really encapsulate this eras' outfit changes though, since it's still a proper superhero outfit instead of civvies and a jacket and is still very simple rather than being hideously overdesigned and having Jim Lee armor lines everywhere.
And yeah he's very underused. Flash focusing more and more on speedster/speedforce shit forced all the non-speedster supporting characters into a small corner, he wasn't Barry's reformed friend (Heatwave was), and he isn't a proper Rogue anymore, so there's only a limited time where he can show up. I'm also convinced that editorial got kinda embarrassed at people hating Countdown so they stopped paying attention to all those characters when Final Crisis was over.
Jaxon Nguyen
>cool mask
>red costume with flames because he has fire powers
>rising sun because he really loves his country
Aside from the darker red trunks I honestly don't see what's so bad about it
Jeremiah Bailey
A dragon, user.
Jace Cooper
When they're not designed by Kirby, Ditko or Cockrum.
Caleb Garcia
That's because he is one of the few who doesn't follow the "broad shoulder, strong jaw, extremely muscular body" he sticks out of that reason.
Oliver Foster
What, you don't want to see this baby on the silver screen?
Dominic Adams
There needs to be more man cleavage
Christian Brown
it should be exposing his ass
Henry Bailey
A cursory gander through my folders has revealed that I am currently lacking in impractical or skimpy male hero outfits that isn't outright promotional. This is a disgrace. Please help, Yea Forums.
Joshua Anderson
also he doesn't have a symbol in the center of his body
Lucas Morgan
Well since I already mentioned Piper here's his tiddies from the late 80s.
Kayden Ortiz
They should've used the left one in Metal.
Nicholas Kelly
Julian Watson
Oh my, yes.
Lucas Bennett
I'm pretty sure that one on the left has already made it into a Final Fantasy game somewhere.
Connor Jones
wait, his boots are on fire too?
Nicholas Young
any costume with speedos is stupid
Carter Sullivan
Bad color theory, overdesigned, doesn't tell much about the character's personality or powers.
Cooper Hall
Tacti cool is kinda lame
