The fact that Wanda's Wandavision suit, which was made by literal chaos magic, still looks like it was taylored by the same person who did Steve, Nat and Clint's suit is crazy to me.

That colour chart of the Avengers film is so telling. "I wonder when Age of Ultron visits Africa?" *sees giant chunk of yellow* "Hrmmm"

As a fan of comics!Scarlet Witch, I've found her costumes in the MCU especially egregious. She's one of the few characters who could probably wear a couture ballgown into combat and it would kind of make sense. Also hate that she's limited to the black and "red". Pink feels important as an aspect of Wanda's character. The red symbolizes her passion/anger/strength, but the pink complements it by symbolizing her vulnerability/softness. Also, can't get enough of Black Panther's costume design. Even the casual outfits are so striking and character building. Casual Nakia and Casual Shuri look nothing alike (Shuri in particular has such great style).

I never noticed how boring Gamora and Nebula's clothes are. I guess because of their brightly coloured skin the designer shrugged and went for more black leather?

I can understand that, for live action, there are practical problems with making a bright, colorful costume like the comics originally had. Nonetheless, the more practical, leather-bound suits with boots and buckles and muted colors really seems to be the antithesis of comic book superheroes.

Yay, a new video! Tbh, it's kind of hard to watch some of the MCU movies, especially the fighting scenes, bc everything is so grey. So one can only hope they'll make the characters more visually distinct eventually. Also, I like how you always include captions in your videos, that makes it so much easier for me to follow along! ^^

Surprised you didn’t talk more about the textures. What distinguishes Marvel from the comics and from DC is the fabrics and weaves that can’t show up on the page. Compare 2011’s Green Lantern to Captain Marvel, for example. PS - Glad you made a new video!

This is one of the few areas where I actually disagree with you. Not about the flat lighting and horrible GCI overcrowding, but I really LIKE the movie costumes 90% of the time. It'd be horribly distracting to have the characters running around in bright red spandex, and Avengers 1 Cap is the worst Cap costume (the best is the utilitarian one from the second half of The First Avenger and last scene of Winter Soldier = something a real person miiiight wear but still recognizable). Generally the costumes work with the tones of the movies and I like the relative realism. But then again, I also really like Nolan era Batman. Re the next few phases, I'm not optimistic, I don't feel like Marvel, or Hollywood in general, has been good at handling the fantastic.

This is awesome. I love that they made these design decisions to tie the universe and franchise together. They should have taken more liberty on the solo films however

I think compromising on the costumes is one of the great ways Marvel has gotten to mass audiences, similar to how they don’t use the supernames (for the most part). It’s easy to latch on to costumes as an excuse to write off the film. Scarlet Witch is going into battle in a one-piece? Stupid! Scarlet Witch going into a battle in a leather jacket? Still stupid, but at least it looks like she’s trying to protect herself.

I'm a little perturbed by Haweye's costume. Everyone seems to have some variation of their original comic version costume except for Hawkeye.

Imagine hawkeye using bright blue and bright purple costume.. with those boots.. and.. mask..

I can see how a tangent about Pepper Pott's style and costumes didn't fit with the theme of the video... but I'm still a little sad she's not featured hahaha

I don't watch MCU stuff, but I've been bingeing your videos as I love your explanation and insights into a world (screen costumes) I have never really paid attention to. Shared your Trek mini skirt video far and wide. I'd be interested to see your take on The Walking Dead.

A superhero’s costume is one of the most important elements to the character and comic book movies just can’t adapt them which makes me think these characters belong on page. Although spiderman’s sewing machine suit at the end of no way home does give me hope.

This was great!

You are wonderful!

Remember Jack Kirby.

Captain America's 'stage' costume from the first film was 10 times better than the costume he actually wore into combat. At least that costume looked like the comic book version and was bright and the cuts of the boots and gloves were comic accurate. Why couldn't the combat costume have looked that good?

There is a porn Avengers movie (Avengers XXX) with comic-accurate costumes. The actor playing Hawkeye had been on his high school's archery team!

Damn, the MCU films lack the "panache" of The Last Jedi. 😵

I totally agree about the weird duality of marvel being considered the "brighter, cheerier superhero property" despite having the blandest set and costume design. It's just so grey and unpleasant to look at. At the very least DCEU justifies all the grey with their darker tone but with marvel it's just grey and bleak for no reason??? tragic tbh.

All those toned down colours really takes the super out of superhero.

It doesn’t help u pulled comics from the 616 continuity and the movies are the ultimate continuity made obvious by the inclusion of Samuel L Jackson which is who nick fury was designed to look like in the ultimate continuity no modern marvel live action movie series maybe outside the sam raimi trilogy is the 616 continuity and in terms of suits dc has been more accurate like showing us the dark knight returns batsuit or talking an actual comic batsuit and putting it in the television screen in the 60’s

Mcu gotten so bad, that we complain about stitching now 😂😂😂

i bet they save so much money by making their movies so murky...who needs good costume design if you can't see anything anyways!

I don't consider it a problem. I think they are doing just fine... super hero's are stupid and there comic based uniforms are ridiculous... Comic colors come from the way comics are printed and trying to keep costs down. the costume designs often are not something that works in 3d. I.e., there's a front side a 3/4 side but the back is not something that could exist in reality. The x-men is blazing yellow and black.. people would laugh and point. strange mask, lighting bolts... ete... it's a joke... So marvel keep doing what your doing.. your doing it right.
