Sequels Should logan where a costume in his spinoff?

[The Batman]

should he wear his black leather suit, or something similiar?

 

[Herr Logan]

'Nuff said.

 

[spidey207]

^^^pretty much.

 

[ampersand]

That would look really stupid on film.

 

[the Firestarter]

i think he should have a costume. can't be as dramatic as the comics, but he definitely needs the mask and animalistic looking protrusions from it. would go with his assuming the name "wolverine" when he works as an agent. his identity would need to remain secret and hidden for his protection and that of the agency.

 

[Herr Logan]

That would look really stupid on film.

Until you can provide a clip of an actor who truly wants to present the Wolverine from the comics, in the brown and tan costume, in high-quality movie-grade film, with proper cinematic lighting, directed by a competent director who wants to make the suit look cool, and either reliable witness testimony or polygraph tests proving that the film's costume designers made every effort to bring that suit to life and used a decent budget in doing so...

...until then, your comment is worthless.

There's no possible way to prove that the basic design of that suit "would look really stupid on film," because any example you might show is merely weak, anectodal evidence.
I'm going to bypass the fact that all judgements of a costume are subjective to the observer or critic and just get to the main argument:
A film crew only has to get it right once to prove it can work well, but incompetent crews can screw uo thousands of times and it still won't be definitive that the suit wouldn't look good on film. No one can ever disprove the possibilty of anything. The universe just doesn't work that way.

You know I'm right, whether or not you'll admit it. Just know that yours was a common error that was probably made out of haste, not out of sheer ignorance and juvenile thought processes.

In any case, the tan/orange parts of the costume should be darkened to a light shade of brown or very dark orange. The whole suit would be darker and the wings on the mask and boots would be tight, not oversized or floppy.
There's even a legitimate reason for Wolverine to wear the mask at all, in case anyone cares to actually think about it instead of shoot their mouths off out of insecurity regarding their alleged "fanhood."
One last thing: Anybody who projects a "can't-do" attitude should never dare to call people like me "negative."

Wolverine definitly needs his trademark mask! And I truly believe any costume they wear in the comics can look good in a movie if done properly like you state in a post above!

 

[Donnie Darko]

I'd actually rather it be Logan in street clothes/military gear.

 

[Marvel Dude]

I mean if batman, spider-man, superman or ghost rider can have their origianal costumes, why can't Logan have his?

 

[lordofthenerds]

No...its going to be a prequel so he won't have a costume yet.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I just like the idea of this movie being him out in the wilderness/in Japan/in Weapon X stuff... so seeing him in the superhero costume wouldn't fit as well. I mean, my ideal Wolverine movie would play out more like Desperado than Spider-Man.

 

[ampersand]

I wouldn't mind him wearing the mask but I don't really want him to. I definately don't want him in spandex though.

 

[Cyke82]

Given his reaction to costumes and superhero life in X1, it wouldn't make sense for him to wear a costume in a prequel movie.

*cough*
Spandex?? You gotta be kidding...please...no...make the hurting stop.

You're right, why don't I post a picture of a black leather-clad, 6'2" soap star and then none of us will have to feel ashamed of being fans of a superhero.

If you think he's wearing Spandex, then you don't know enough about the source material to rightfully make snotty remarks such as that. Go find someone else to pester with your juvenile nonsense.



General note:
Cyke82 was possibly right earlier; this movie version of Wolverine probably didn't wear a superhero costume before he met the X-Men. Then again, maybe he did and didn't remember. Either way, this isn't the real Wolverine we're talking about, so I'm not expecting or insisting on a faithful costume in this context.

What's key is the reason -why- "movie Wolverine" would wear it. No matter how well that costume is created, worn, and shot, if the reason for wearing it is dumb the suit itself will look dumb.

That's the truth. Also, the costume would look stupid on Hugh Jackman, who is not as muscular as the drawing.

 

[Herr Logan]

If they made a movie featuring an accurate representation of Wolverine, the brown and tan/orange costume could be justified by the fact that those colors are worn to honor the Yashida Clan, and the mask is reminiscent of samurai headgear and also a North American tribal totem mask.

If a team of filmmakers can't make a darker version of that costume look good on film, then they're not fit to work with the character. I'll grant that the yellow and blue costume is an extremely hard sell, but not the brown and tan costume.

If people can't handle the way Wolverine looks in a superhero costume, maybe they should find a new genre of which to claim fanhood.
If people can't imagine a faithful Wolverine costume tht looks good on screen being worn by a character who looks no taller than 5'3" after post-production, then maybe they should stick to "real life" interests and stop giving their input where people are discussing a topic that is completely, utterly dependent on the imagination to be entertaining in the first place.

As for Movie!Wolverine, he's got no reason to wear it, and at this point, it wouldn't make a difference. He barely looks like Wolverine, he has precious few of his mannerisms and almost none of his trademark speech. Anyone who thinks comments like those are "nitpicking" are inexcusably ignorant; a specific character is only a unique character if he/she exhibits the details associated with that character. Otherwise, they're just an archetype, and that's pretty much worthless in a world of media where underdeveloped archetypal character models are taken for granted.

He looks pretty decent on the cover of whatever fitness magazine he's in this month. I think Hugh and the designers could pull it off (with the modifications Herr Logan mentioned) as long as there's a good reason to.

thats my wolverine

 

[ico]

I just couldn't see an outfit like that being in the X-Men movies. Although they are fantasy movies, the X-Men seems to have a sense of realism, when it comes to what they are wearing at least, and I can't think f any justified way why Wolverine (who didnt even like the plain black outfit in X1) would ever wear something like that.

 

[Nathan]

As much as I like my Wolverine in the comics, he shouldn't wear a mask and tights. Because of two reasons. 1.) He's a Military man, they walk around in field gear, something that's useful in combat. Not colorful spandex that would let him stick out like a giraffe in antartica. 2.) He has nothing to hide.

 

[Nell2ThaIzzay]

He shouldn't wear the black leather costume. That's an X-Men costume, and I'm assuming that Wolverine will be a prequel, going into his past, so he won't have met the X-Men yet. So whatever he wears, it shouldn't be the black leather.

 

[Havana]

Prequel or not, I think the producers will try to maintain a strong sense of continuity between the Logan of the existing films and the spinoff. The costume desiger on X2 pointed out that one of the appeals of the movie Wolverine is that he doesn't change much. I predict he'll still have his jeans, button up shirts, a version of the same jacket and hopefully his uber huge belt buckle from X1 & X2. I can't see them putting him in the comic costume at all.

 

[RedIsNotBlue]

A costume and mask can work if properly done. But I don't think it's in the cards.
