This is a continuation thread, the old thread is [split]396515[/split]
It's more like an expanse of red, huge expanse of blue and another expanse of red. That arrangement of the color spaces to my eyes is imbalanced, like I said, you don't need the trunks but if ya leave them out, I'd say get rid of the red boots too then the color elements are balanced again, imho.I would think losing the trunks would improve "balance" if anything. Now there's an expanse of blue, and an expanse of red, highlighted by the shield and the red boots.

How about we try this a different way.
Break the suit all the way down to just the color distribution:
Left is classic, right is MOS. Discuss.

Well technically speaking, there are some form of yellow thin lines for the MOS suit.lol
Excellent simplistic breakdown. I think it demonstrates that, while the MOS does look quite nice when broken down to its core-most elements, the classic suit has that intangible quality that makes it an instant classic. It's similar to what Mark Millar was saying in reference to Superman art and actors: sometimes you can just tell when an artist draws Superman properly (Curt Swan, Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, John Byrne in his prime) it freaking looks like Superman, and when one doesn't it's very obvious. "Its just an X-factor or an understanding of the character," he says.True:

Combine the best elements of the two and it would be perfect imo.
The Shield said:Could you stop the red so that it's only North of the belt?

Cavill happens to epitomize that philosophy in a way no actor genuinely has since Routh. During his off days he looks like Superman. It's the same for the costume. The MOS one is good...but the classic is, simply, Superman.
Like so?
The biggest thing for me is that with the MOS suit, my eye goes directly to the shield area. That's not the case for the classic -- my eye is distracted.
For that reason, I think the design of the MOS works and works a little better. I mean what is more Superman than the shield?
I think it wouldn't be as bad for some if the MOS suit had two different shades of Blue going on for it, with the main bodysuit being more of a lighter blue and the alien lining design being that current dark blue color that we have in order to put more emphasis on its attachment to the suit and putting more details on it as well.
