Lol, I was thinking the same thing.
You can tell MOS borrows elements from Flyby.
That's not what he says. It says that they tried to keep the trunks. So they played around with the design and ultimately came to the conclusion to lose the trunks.http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/steel_this_movie_TrrZEczrOmIra5bDTnKk4O/0
According to the man himself, Zach Synder wanted to keep the trunks.

Interesting. My interpretation of the quote is Snyder, in a very diplomatic way, saying, "I wanted to keep the trunks but the execs who are paying told me to get rid of them. I tried a whole bunch of designs that would convince them otherwise, but they just weren't having it."Yeah, the way I read that is he tried to come up with a version that looked better than what we have now and just couldn't do it. Not that if he had his say he would have trunks.
I think anyone would be hard pressed to come up with a better design than this new MOS suit. It's damn near perfect.
I don't think any director is going to openly admit he didn't get his way -- especially not in the middle of filming. It was a sort of "hey guys I tried even though no one else wanted to, but this is better" type statement to me. Kind of throwing a bone to the sliver of the fanbase that was upset about losing the underwear.Interesting.

You know, after reading through it again, I can see how people could interpret it that way. Although, I think it could go either way.Interesting.

I understood this to mean that he truly wanted to keep the red briefs but he was so strongly opposed (studio folks) that he had no choice but to give in.http://www.nypost.com/p/entertainment/movies/steel_this_movie_TrrZEczrOmIra5bDTnKk4O/0

Makes it seem like he was the only only one that wanted to keep them, and I strongly believe him, because we all know how faithful he really is.Everyone else said, You cant have the briefs on him.
Goes to show his determination in wanting to keep them.I looked at probably 1,500 versions of the costumes with the briefs on.
This pretty much tells me that they were never gonna let Snyder go with the classic version because he clearly states that he was pretty much told from the start to let go of the past and look forward, and that forward movement demanded changes.You come onto a project like this, and you hear about modernization and you hear about bringing things forward to today, and all you can do is hope that its going to look cool and different from
anything youve seen before,
i have a lot more respect for Snyder now hearing about how he wanted to keep the classic look... it's disgusting to hear the stupidity come from those around him.
Yes. But commissioning 1500 design sketches, etc. - and considering each one of them - would be a colossal waste of time, effort and money if WB had issued (for legal reasons?) a no trunks rule from the get-go. My sense is that many options were on the table (including the trunks) and that, ultimately, the decision was made based on aesthetic criteria.Snyder said:I looked at probably 1,500 versions of the costumes with the briefs on.

Briefs immediately look costumey.
And a skintight blue full body suit with a floor length red cape, red boots to the knee, and a huge S on his chest doesn't?
