First Avenger Captain America's Costume

[The Guard]

I figured out my main issue with the suit...

Take an American flag...and put some ugly gray straps across it, crisscrossing in multiple directions.

How does it function as a symbol at that point?

Last American flag I looked at didn't have scale armor or red pirate boots either. How do those fit into your equation?

 

[wobbly]

Or little wings on it's sides, or a big 'A' at the top.

 

[Whiskey Tango]

truth.

I'm not worried. I like the suit a lot, and think that we will see many changes and upgrades throughout this movie. The suit in the latest screenshots are prob some type of "future" body armor they were trying out, padding.

The shoulder pads are prob there to.....protect his shoulders. He is a pretty physical and close combat guy. a torn rotator cuff or dislocation would affect throwing that there shield thingee. /spittoon

I loved the first hi-res photo of the costume. I'm not sure about this one. The shoulders look stiff and too NFL-esque. It will probably look better in motion though.

I drew these ages ago, thinking about what they were doing with the Bat-films, in terms of design

Again, if they kept the current design for the modern day suit, I'd be happy, 'cause I like the look.

The second one is more what I was thinking. Maybe have a Vibranium scale armor draped over his shoulders and chest to protect his vitals.

With maybe a lightweight flexible kevlar type banding on his midsection.

There are all kinds of awesome stuff we could see.

As long as you can recognize the iconography of the flag, then it functions just fine. I suppose you could argue that it's going to be ugly, but it's not going to be any less a symbol unless that iconography is lost.

 

[I am Batman]

The padding is really noticeable here and not in a good way. Also it didn't bother me in the first pic but in this one the all the brown is annoying me.

 

[JAK®]

I hope people aren't suggesting that the shoulder padding is supposed to be unnoticeable, as if it's there to make him look more muscular or something. Because that isn't the case.

 

[Galactus123]

What pic is that? It is real? It looks weird somehow.

 

[Antonello Blueberry]

It's a bad photoshop work from the Marvel studio.

 

[I SEE SPIDEY]

That pic does look strange as hell.

I wanna see some Red skull pics dammit!

Now, I'm wondering if this is just how he'll look before getting frozen, and that later on he'll get the mask and a sleekercostume, more of the classic look.

I think it looks cool, but I'd rather see the mask, but the suit looks fine to me. I don't know why everyone's complaining about the brown. The red should be a bit brighter, after all his costume's supposed to look like the flag, not that dull red like that stupid Superman Returns so called Super suit.

Red white and blue, not maroon white and blue. He's an icon, like the flag. His suit's supposed to reflect that and be patriotic. Ironman has brighter red on his armor. I cannot stand filmmakers who are too wimpy to go all the way with the look, don't take a step back, the comic book movies are finally where they should be. With Green Lantern and Ironman, they've shown there's nothing wrong with bright color and that it can still look cool.

I mean come on, his name's Captain America! No reason to dull him down.
Go all the way or don't bother at all.

I mean the suit looks fine to me, just give him the mask and brighten up the RED a bit. Even if it does stick with the helemet/mask it's cool but brighten it up.

I haven't been spoiling this movie for myself really, so I don't wanna' know, yet I have to wonder, will this just be him in the 40's then he gets a more modern brighter costume with the mask in the present.

 

[jmc]

That is some seriously bad photoshopping. Where the hell is the shadow underneath him?

 

[Spider-Bat]

One more thing, at least it's not as bad as some of the other costumes they messed up in the past, like before Marvel and other comic movies got on the ball, and started making faithful Comic Book films.

I hope they show Red Skull soon. I really don't think they'll take a step back to the crap like DD's costume and all that.

No reason to wimp out now. After Ironman, I think we can look forward to Superheroes jumping off the comic pages. Even Thor looks awesome, there's a few differences but nothing major.

Just a bit suped up for a big budget movie.

Now for a revamp of DD and FF.

Yeah, the suit just has somewhat square shoulders (the squareness, in this instance, being exaggerated by his pose), the way many jackets do. Square shoulders and what I guess is supposed to be armoured padding.

Have you considered that his costume looks dull in this picture because he's in the dark?

 

[Mr. Earle]

Oh the great red, white, blue and brown.

 

[블라스]

The complaints I get to read in here are surreal by now.

 

[Bren]

Having looked again and with a 2nd pic, I don't particularly like the suit. It's not terrible by any means, but just not what I was hoping for. Still going to watch the film, my preference of suit style was never the deciding factor.

 

[Webhead38]

I guess here's the question - Is anyone here NOT going to see this movie opening weekend? I'm not crazy about the outfit right now, but this is definitely a big budget effort. I never thought I would see this day back in the 70's and 80's. There's no way I will let a couple of photos keep me out of the theater.

 

[Vartha]

heh I don't care if that's photoshopped or not. I love the fact there's some detailed art out there to give us a feel of the film.

@JMC if you look at the grating by Caps right foot the lighting's coming from UNDER the catwalk that's why there's no shadow UNDER Cap.
