Greetings True Believers!

Here is a shot of the new uniform from the Cleveland set of the new Avengers movie.

It looks pretty good!






I still miss the wings but I like it.

Hmm...it reminds me a lot of the spandex version we see of the USO show from this far off--and the whole point of that was to show how ridiculious that costume would look like in real life.

I'll try to wait until we see some professionally done photos of the thing in motion before I really judge it.

No, this looks like someone tried to make a practical suit that will actually work and look decent in real life . . . based on he traditional comic book appearance of Cap's outfit.

Maybe movieverse Cap had a fan following, enough of one that his new costume designer remembers those old USO shows?

Yeah, I get that--it's just tight like it's spandex but it doesn't really look like it, so my brain isn't quite processing it right.

I mean, we all get in superhero comics that most of these guys are wearing protective gear that just happens to look like spandex, but looking at drawings is different from looking at real people.

It doesn't look very tight to me. There's clearly "plating" in some places... it reminds me of kevlar.

I can't even hear people discussing the spandex of superhero costumes without being reminded of the running gag that they had in Power Rangers: RPM about what their costumes are made of, and their creators reaction to the usual assumption.

*gigglesnort* Oh, that is fantastic.

Dr K is a marvellous character, even moreso when finally revealed.

And when the team finally sits down with their mentor for a Q&A the series REALLY has some fun with it's own conventions and cliches

"his new costume designer"
Personally, I strongly suspect/hope that said custume designer goes by the name Tony and is also still a total fanboy and since he's only supposed to be support for the team gets to do such things as make advanced fabrics and shielding so nobody damages the national icon.
