I hate myself for using this comp, but it does register as an MCU type of costume. Backpack-looking fabric, unnecessary and distracting seams and design elements. If you look at the cuffs, the fabric also looks oddly thick. The creasing around the chest and shoulder area is not pleasing to look at.
The collar absolutely blows, but I'm so happy the trunks are back that I'll consider this a wash.
If I'm being perfectly candid, first word to come to mind is "cheap." It looks cheap.
Funny enough, it kinda looks like if Superman showed up in a GOTG movie
Over the past year, I really got the impression that Gunn was hinting that he might “reinvent” himself a bit for this job, especially visually.
But since the reveal of the logo on the chest, I was totally expecting the look to be in the same vein as pretty much every superhero costume for the past 15 years or so.
I mean, it really looks like it was made by the same designer as
MCU, The Boys, etc... and I've never really been a fan of that direction.
I was hoping for something new because I think the genre desperately needs to renew itself in all areas,
(and I think this big reboot can't afford any marketing missteps) but oh well.
At least Corenswet really looks like Superman. He's got the looks, and the haircut really works!
To say a few positive things, I do like the colors but I'm especially really happy about the return of the trunk and a real belt!
Damn, I feel like I'm one of the few that digs the material fo the suit. It's thin, and can bend and wrinkle.
I also like the wrinkles, but in this photo in particular, I'm having trouble judging whether it's really thin all over.
While it looks loose on the tummy, the suit also looks padded to me on the chest and forearm.
It's probably a combination of the two to get the best possible silhouette/feel, which makes sense to me...
At least from a strategic point of view because I'm really not sure about the design and its rendition... yet.
I dig it. Looks very 'my mom made it for me'. I think I love more the vibe of the photolf lol. Can't wait
I'm not trying to convince anyone, but yeah, despite the stitches and tall that, it's way too “clean” for me to register as “homemade”.
It just looks like a generic TV or movie superhero costume...

So yeah, I can't say I'm super happy with what I see but I'll try to be wise and give it the benefit of the doubt.
But to be totally honest, I think I'm most annoyed by what the overall picture suggests in terms of artistic direction
(that background... oof...) than by the costume specifically
