Iron Fist Iron fist Costume thread

[DorkyFresh]

it's not even that as they actually came up with the only tough bit, the mask!

You talking about the war footage Bakuto showed? It doesn't take much effort to make it a costume look decent in blurry, grainy, shaky cam from a distance.

I think he's referring to the bts color pic.

 

[Brawl]

I don't know where this costume came from but I think this would look good live action

Didn't know there was one...mah bad.

Wow, that's pretty cool!

 

[TheUnknownX]

If they don't want Danny to have a full on costume, they can have a similar look to these

 

[Breogan]

It was basically Zorro without his hat...

I was going to say I wonder if Matt Murdock saw it and was inspired as it's basically his costume .....

The whole mask gives his face a completely different look to when [Dare Devil] had the black Iron Fist bandana over his head.

They could definitely pull off that whole bandana/cowl thing. Daredevil basically looked like Iron Fist, but only in black.

"basically Zorro", "basically Matt Murdock [black] costume", "black Iron Fist bandana", "Daredevil basically looked like Iron Fist, but only in black"

Note reads: "Dear Zorro please cease & desist infringing on our Daredevil Iron-Fist visual trademarks, your powerful friends at Disney/Marvel/Netfix,Co. ps .... We own that **** look now!"

I think the classic mask from the archive ^ footage and photo work great!

Simple Shaolin style garments, and a "Zorro" style bandanna mask in yellow, one of the most straight forward somewhat convincing grounded looking "costumes" if you can even call it a costume, easy to convey in live action, and lends itself perfectly to the concept and narrative.

Yeah, I've made that argument before that all they really need (for a bare minimum) is the mask. The only reason why I don't think that's an entirely practical solution since New York can get cold, but it would have been a good compromise to start.

 

[Hmarrs]

I would assume that the champion of a mystical monastery would have some sort of unique outfit to denote his special place in society...or at least...it would not be unique for a religious type order to give certain members symbolic clothing.

What if it were more of a headpiece not cloth but not quite a helmet but one that allowed him to channel into his Inner Chi or even for the Iron fist because of all the eternal distractions especially in the City...Even to where if its Knocked off it throws him off...

I'm surprised this hasn't been posted yet.

I was really curious how they would design the mask, a lot of fan concepts and photoshops never looked right, and I really like it there. I have a feeling they want to introduce the mask as a Kun Lun tradition, thus Finn's "it could take a few seasons to get it" line. Thought I thought of a way they could have in season 1. [BLACKOUT]Just have Bakuto hand him the mask saying, "It was believed to have been own by an Iron Fist, it's theorized that he would wear a mask so that those who did not know of Kun Lun would think he was just a bandit." Pair the mask with a cool green jacket and bam, costume. But it wouldn't make much sense for him to wear it suddenly, everyone he's fighting know his identity pretty early on. Really no need for the mask even in the climax except for fan service. Still would have been cool.[/BLACKOUT]

It's a shame you couldn't make it out in the actual show.

 

[Mike Murdock]

Given what happened with Bokuto, I feel that would be problematic because it would taint the mask.

I just don't think Loeb is interested. He is trying too hard to shape an anti-cinematic MCU at Marvel TV. Other then copy the set-up to forming a team.

That's sort of what happens when you're trying to make the characters and their world more palpable when the cinematic side got it covered on the grandiose escapism. Also, I think it's just ABC's sensibilities bleeding into Netflix because Marco Polo just looks heck of a lot more cinematic.

DD is pretty much on point, but it does seem these shows are under the gun to meet the Defenders deadline, but why? Is it contractual that they have to put Defenders out by a certain date? If not they are just in a race with themselves... I loved JJ but it stalled a bit in the second half and LC and IF DEFINITELY needed more time in the oven...As time goes on the poor management at Marvel TV is starting to get exposed. Thank god Feige no longer has to deal.

They were under a deadline. That's why Iron Fist appeared rushed compared to the other three. I also suspect that the other shows ate into Iron Fist's budget.

I was just picturing Danny puts it in his pocket and then later looks at it and go "let's do this", not as a give from Bokuto but as an acceptance of his predecessors.

I don't see that. Daredevil didn't shy from the costumes in season 2, hell even potter had his gladiator shirt. Plus Agents of Shield and the upcoming InHumans disproves that. The netflix are going for a very specific tone that's different from the rest of the MCU, giving neflix something unique. it makes perfect sense that Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Ion Fist don't have costumes. It doesn't fit with JJ's concept, Luke Cage doesn't have a secret identity (and hasn't had an actual costume in the comics for decades), and Danny Rand is incredibly naive and uncaring about appearances. They're more concern with character and story (to varying degrees of success) than shoehorning a costume into the story. Still all three had great call outs to their original outfits.

It's not a statement against the marvel films, just a creative direction they've chosen for these specific series.

They signed a deal with Neflix, who can impose the time frame. Television and movies rely heavily with staying on schedule. It's the nature of the busy and necessary to make sure you don't got bankrupt. Unfortunately that could mean that quality can suffer. You gotta remember, this is a business and sometimes you have to compromise in order for the numbers to add up and deadlines met. Nature of the beast.

The only two I cared about having costumes were DD and IF, so as of right now they are 1 for 2...

I understand they aren't 'against' Marvel in terms of their sentiments towards the films, but it certainly seems like the 'creative direction' was in part dictated by not being seen as an MCU-lite universe and being something distinct in it's own right, ie, the dark, gritty grounded fare. Perfectly fine for DD or a neo-noir series like JJ, but when you start getting into Cage and IF it becomes more problematic and suddenly you are fighting against your own concept.

I understand but these things are obviously influx as evidenced by the additions of the Punisher and DD season 2, which although I'm certain they were planning before season 1 aired, it still wasn't a guarantee.

I don't think Cage needs a costume, like I said for like two decades his outfit has just been normal clothes. But yest Iron Fist should get some sort of outfit at some point

I believe Netflix greenlit a season for 5 series, DD, JJ, LC, IF, and Defenders. Well Punisher and DD season 2 are outside of the initial agreement and as such probably didn't effect Iron Fist as much. It could have been any number of reasons for IF to be rushed, a number of things could have gone wrong or been delayed in pre production.

 

[Shazam]

This is very workable for TV

 

[PWN3R]

I really hate the current Iron Fist tracksuit that the comics use, but this show made me actually miss it. That's something easily translatable to live action. Danny needs a suit.

 

[Brian Braddock]

Is that the Game of Death jumpsuit inspired one?

 

[The Infernal]

I wonder if something akin to the Ultimateverse version of Danny's costume could work. Though I would add that with the classic IF style headscarf as well and have the forearm wraps cover his fists akin to Matt's proto-Daredevil costume.

Though that might come off a bit like Double Dragon. lol

Not like that's a bad thing.

His Simple Shaolin style gi, in green, and a Zorro style bandanna mask, is one of the most straight forward grounded looking "costumes". (if you can even call it a costume), it should easily translate to live action.

 

[pixen]

I honestly would rather this look than nothing. I think it's fun while keeping his identity secret.

 

[The Infernal]

Not really digging the tracksuit. Even on the comic cover it's not that much of a costume. As toned down as that high collar is it doesn't mesh well with what is really just a tracksuit. It's a nice nod to the Bruce Lee Game of Death costume, but I wouldn't want a tracksuit as his main costume. Not even in the comics.
