Not to get all pissy, but are we about to be done with these "that you like" threads?

[Chris Wallace]

Just about.

[Anubis]

I think it's about time for a spoof thread.

[Chris Wallace]

THanks a lot.

[Dope Nose]

do we really need multiple threads about which costumes you like?

[Kable24]

Armored Daredevil
Scarlet-Spider

[Chris Wallace]

I tried to get into the DD armor. It just wasn't working for me.

[Chris Wallace]

Oh-the blue Aquaman costume. I felt it fit his name & motif better.

[Kable24]

I thought it had a real cool design. We need a marvel Legends figure of that.

[steelio2006]

Scarlet Spidey.
tho, i kinda do like the Blue Superman costume up above.

ill post more later as i remember them.

[Anubis]

I like the Electric Blue Superman costume because that's what he was wearing when he wrestled a God damn Bull Angel.

I'd actually never seen her in that suit before, but I actually like the look of that. Does seem to give off a little too much Xena vibe, but that's not a big deal

[Chris Wallace]

For years it's bothered me that she wears all the known symbols of American patriotism when she herself is NOT an American Citizen.

Well, that never really bothered me or anything, but that suit seems to be more sutle about that then her regular one.

[shapeshifter]

iron spidey was cool.
hit me all you want.

[Chris Wallace]

It doesn't suit him. It's not the right color scheme. It BARELY supports the Spider motif, has useless appendages & just screams "sidekick".

[Chris Wallace]

I was really fond of this Goblin costume.

[Kable24]

I kind of think that was the point of it. it made him Iron Man's little ***** sidekick.

[Chris Wallace]

I TOTALLY think that was the point; one of many reasons why I hate the damn suit so much. It represents a bad period in Spidey's life & some stupid decisions on his part.
And it was ugly.

[Chris Wallace]

What's wrong with it?

I heard a lot of fans trash it.

[Metallx]

I like the first Az-Bat look. It was just awesome. I also like the first Kyle Rayner look. It was not traditional but cool anyways.

[cerealkiller182]

If your gonna choose Electric Blue Superman, you shouldnt be able to talk **** about Iron Spidey. Especially for those reasons

[Chris Wallace]

Really? What useless appendages are on Superman's suit? Whose sidekick does he look like? Spider-Man's a poor kid from Queens who was suddenly sporting a multi-million dollar high-tech outfit. Superman's an alien who for the first time was looking like one. And given the change in his powers, the look made sense for Supes. Given what those geniuses had done to Spidey's powers, if anyhting they should have given him something that looked more spider-like, not looking like Iron Man, Jr.

[November Rain]

i really like superman's black suit with the silver s

i hope clark gets to wear it as a warm up to the red and blues in smallville.

it feels like what superman would wear if he was brought up on kyrpton and just came as a adult instead of as a child.

The blue suit doesnt suit Superman. Just because hes an alien doesnt mean anything. Doesnt mean he should have green skin and a space suit either. He was raised by poor farmers from in Kansas. His biology might be Kryptonian but his heritage is all Earth (a planet chosen because it had the best living conditions so physical similiarities between the 2 species isnt crazy)

Color scheme is the same as spidey. Spidey has red in both suits prominently and Superman has blue prominently in both suits, but they arnt the same color schemes

Theres just as much precedent for giving Spiderman extra appendages since spiders have extra appendages than their is for making Superman blue because hes alien.

"More spider-like"? The biggest difference in the costume is it has extra legs rather than a web pattern. its still the same template, bug eyes, if anything it looks more spider-like, but neither suit actuall looks spider like.

And of course you created this thread as if a safe haven for unpopular costumes than ream into people who actually like an unpopular costume :rolleyes:

don't hold your breath on that. as far as costumes go, Smallville seems unable to deliver in the S department.
I doubt we will get much of a pay off at all.
As for the haters of the iron spidey, I still think the colors were cool, the three leg thing was a bit stupid, I would have liked to see 4, but it was still better than his old silver and black armored suit.
IMO

Did I ream into someone or did I point out what I didn't like about the suit in question? I welcome disagreement.
I don't feel that Stark's design was spider-like at all. The extra appendages enhanced the tech aspect (not to mention that there was an odd number) rather than the spider aspect. The red was an homage not to Spidey's color scheme but to Stark's. The thing just looked very narcissistic.

Kinda, yeah.
You overlooked the "Heroes Reborn" design.

[Lady Stormcrow]

Dr Strange's outfit.

Tights always look good.

[3dman27]

i always liked the original costume for JUDOMASTER and the one he sprted in L.A.W. wasn't too shabby either

[November Rain]

I doubt we will get much of a pay off at all.

Considering doomsday is worming his way in a death occurrence may happen or something along those lines.

personally if supes was to go with a first suit in smallville a more alien black one with silver could be used.

heck, if they want to go all technical with it, they could have it be kal-el's first suit and make the distinguishment between ka el's alien kryptonian costume and clark's bright superman costume.

on paper, i believe that makes sense. have clark get his ass kicked by doomsday and have a costumed ka el come in flying to kick his ass....

end smallville with a balance between clark and ka el and a clear structure for superman's future

[Chris Wallace]

Superman's futur ehas already been annihilated on "Smallville". I like the show, don't get me wrong, but they have put Clark on a path that ensures that he cannot possibly become Superman. Not if he plans to have a secret identity, anyway. Too many people know, too many people suspect. And among them are Lex, Lois & Perry. I just can't see him ever donning the "S".

[Hellstormer]

....Smallville: Brand New Day.

[Chris Wallace]

Sssh! Quiet, before somebody at WB hears you!

[shapeshifter]

smallville = superhero soap opera
parts of the show are worthwhile, but I cannot help to dwell on the negatives, which I see many of. I understand that I am in the minority there.

[Chris Wallace]

I feel the negatives are outweighed by the enjoyable aspects. I imagine if I were a true-blue hardcore Supes fan, I'd probably hate it.

[Hellstormer]

I actually like SMallville more for their Green Arrow then anything else. The guy pulls off the part perfectly.


....if only he'd grow a beard.

^ ha! you are right. it never dawn on me that he had the Rocket Racer's outfit. i loved that guy.Hmm i have a better appreciation for it now.I have to rethink that now. i hated it before.Actually i hated most everything about that movie( slips more Haterade for SM3)... oh and i liked juggy's outfit . i didn't think it was bad at all in the film

[Chris Wallace]

I think for a guy who's supposed to be bigger than the Hulk, they didn't do a bad job at all.

He'd look like a demented elf. But like I always say, comic fans are NOTORIOUSLY resistant to change. If it deviates from what they're used to, it's unacceptable. I even came across a post on the Batman boards where someone was pining for the BLUE & GREY Batman suit.

The fact that they covered one of the most animated creepy faces in the business is reason enough to hate the movie version of Goblin.

So-it's supposed to be a mask that he can pull on & off as easily as Spider-Man or Batman remove theirs. Not something he has to spend hours & hours getting glued to his face. Besides, what many of you are overlooking is the fact that the Green Goblin's comic book look is intentionally designed to look silly.

See-it's right there. "Does the Green Goblin look cute to you? Does he make you want to smile?" That goofy look would not have translated well, regardless how many of you want to think otherwise. Raimi & Co. wanted something a little more plausible & more threatening, which I can understand. A 46-year-old man would look like a damn fool in that. It would be just as bad as putting Ian McKellan in this...

It's not ********. Any movie, even an incredibly successful and well made movie, can have elements that aren't quite up to snuff. I wouldn't have a problem with changing The Goblin's costume. The problem is, the costume we got looked like ****.

Yeah, one that simply didn't look like s**t would have helped.

I still disagree. And maybe some of the complaints are legit, but I feel the majority of them were steeped in what I was talking about before-the majority of the ones I've come across, anyway.
