The small "S" isn't the issue. It's the total package. The smaller S works on those 70s and 80s Superman comic drawings because overall, the body is simply large enough to accomodate it adequately. That and the flow of the cape around a more open collar helps the suit.
I made these manips to demonstrate that I mean. It's the entire composition of various elements of the suit that is the issue.
A dark style SR suit on Chris Reeve.
Chris's size and appearance just completely dominates the small S and even major flaws like the tight collar or smaller trunks. It still looks ridiculous by creating a very long torso and erasing any strength lines from the neck and shoulder-blades... but it can be done. However, on Routh, these elements only serve to accentuate Routh's "swimmer" profile and thin neck and makes him look weaker by comparision.
I made this manip awhile back to see how the suit looks without Routh and what improvements could me made. Look how simple it is. I think adjusting for most classic elements could help Routh look more powerful in the suit. By making the trunks higher and dropping the collar and allowing the cape to flow over the shoulders has the effect of compressing the chest and enhancing the triangle delta-shape torso (paralled with the inner triangle of the larger S shield) associated with strength. It's like wearing stripes to make you look taller/thinner. Same thing.
No. It is in a thread about opinion on the suit. He is giving a negative opinion on the subject of the thread. So no it isnt. If this thread was "we love the suit" and he typed that then it would be. but that isnt the case, so no.dark_b said:isnt this like trolling?
This is not conclusive evidence at all. Of course it would look terrible on Reeve! Reeve has a different body type. Routh's suit was built for his body type, and as a result looks nowhere near as bad as that manip.kryptonitedog said:i modified emrys manip to show how tight collar doesnt work on superman suit,i hope he doesnt mind,
neither do the low trunks,
i dont think the suit is well designed , especially for a $200m movie!
all they have to do is find supermans best comic illustrators and ask for their input into a costume,
after all, they know best what superman should be looking like,

Sucks is a descriptive word. It states that he thinks it is bad. I don't understand this need with you guys that unless we write some dissertation on why we don't like the thing, then we aren't stating our opinion correctly. Sucks is a descriptive word and all that he needs to use. You guys need to stop this stuff of we have to go into detail on why we dont like something about this maove if we just say 'sucks' or "lame". It is really getting old and tiring.dark_b said:but he writted just that it sucks and we all know more than one year now that he doesnt like the suit.
i guess i was wrong.
suit looks great
It has nothning to do with bodytype. that is just Singerism B/S. The suit looks terrible on Brandon and a manequin. God I really wish instead of all these B/S nonsense excuses we now know Singer to be famous for he would have just came out and said "This is what I like." built it to his body type. I could throw on the Reeve suit on Brandon and it would look just fine. It is just stupid Singerism._Qwerty_ said:
Exactly. Chris looks laughable in that thing.Steelsheen said:reposting my post from here
Lujho created a manip of Chris Reeve but applying the texture, design and the colors of the SR suit to his Superman suit. note it wasnt a simple cutting and pasting of the his head onto Routh's body. no. it was IMO a painstaking effort of "dressing" Chris Reeve into the SR suit to see if the problem is with Routh's build or with the design. and as the manip proved, it really had to do with the design:

This is your problem. You're just a big baby. You can't handle anyone going against your whining. You just discount what other people say.buggs0268 said:
Oh crap, here is this "move on" crap again. Hey Weyseed, tell him how it makes you feel when people who like the suit tell you to "move on". And that I have some unhealthy hatred for the costume. Uhh-you do realize that this is a discussion thread about the posters opinion of the suit post movie. So what I am doing is meant for this thread. Or can only people who like the suit post in this thread? Might as well just be honest and come out and say it because I know that is the only posting you want here._Qwerty_ said:

I honestly think it is very easy becaue the design is aready done. Just make it like it is in the comics. Donner did it. All they had to do was update the materials.kakarot069 said:
