Better costumes: Comics or movies?

Do you think better costumes are featured in the X-Men comics (Ultimate, Uncanny, New--whatever) or movies? And I know what works in the comics doesn't always work on film. But personally, I feel the movie versions of Juggernaut, Magneto, and Phoenix look much, much better than these characters do in the comics.

 

I agree. Although, I feel the silver and dark brown of Juggernaut's movie outfit look really neat—very eye-catching. I think his helmet looks great, too, as do his gloves, boots, and armbands. Those pieces of metal armor found throughout his partially-leather outfit, are a nice touch. He's got some awesome metal knuckles on his gloves! Movie Magneto and the X-Men (with their black leather outfits), though, you're right, wouldn't work as well in the comics—too plain-looking. But I really like how movie Phoenix is dressed. She looks great in that long red Victorian-style dress; very classy and mysterious. I'm reminded of Hellfire Club Dark Phoenix (from the 90's cartoon).

 

Can anyone post some pics of the X-Men costumes from the X-Men movie DVD concept art gallery? That one of a masked Wolverine, where he's standing up, wearing an orange and blue outfit (reminiscent of his classic outfit) is pretty cool.

 

The Ultimate costumes are awesome-looking! A variation of those would be pretty cool. Secret War Wolverine looks great, too. His Astonishing X-Men outfit in leather looks really tough! Gabrielle Dell'Otto is a great artist!

 

No, I mean, in Astonishing X-Men, Wolverine's new yellow and blue outfit is clearly made of spandex, but when Gabrielle Dell'Otto paints Wolverine in this outfit, like in the recent Secret War series, for example, Dell'Otto's version of this outfit looks much more like leather, or rubber, than spandex. Which I think is a great touch, and may even look good on film. It's the same cool outfit, only made of a stronger, more movie-appropriate material. Here's the suit, from the cover of Secret War #2:

I agree about the shorts. Although, the shorts do give him a little more security; they hold things in place better, if you know what I mean. Awesome outfit, though; it's been working really well.

 

Absolutely! I hope that in future X-Men films, the suits will at least be made of dark blue leather, with yellow trim.

 

I still think the leather outfits should be used, but they should be dark blue with yellow trim, and maybe not so bulky.
