The Wonder Suit Thread

[Boom]

Let's discuss what changes you'd like to see to Wonder Woman's outfit.

For me personally, I'd like to see the skirt to be lengthened a bit, and I'd like the bodice to be more form-fitting to Gadot's natural physique. Basically take her Themyscira outfit from Film One and make it into a Wonder Woman outfit. I really liked how that costume fit Gadot.

Discuss.

For the most part I think the costume is pretty much perfect. Yeah maybe lengthen the skirt a tad bit but can't think of much else. If the Tiara didn't have such meaning behind it now I would say maybe give her a new one with a different design (keep the same star though)

or go with this one

Maybe give her new bracers

I think those two things were be the easiest things to really update film to film.

I want that blue feathery cloak she tested out in. It exudes the 'wisdom' aspect of Wonder Woman and feels like she is embodying some Athena, who btw should appear in the future.

I don't really want many changes at all. And if the sequel were set in the past, then you know that she's going to change back to the same costume she had in the first movie.

I suppose she could try a few cosmetic changes if set in the past since you know it won't last anyway. If it's set in America, they could even have a brief period in the film where she tries it out with stars on her skirt, but then decides that she stands for more than just protecting America, and so removes them, reverting it back to the more Amazonian costume she normally wears.

I'd say maybe the only difference I might like is with the tiara, for the point to go upwards instead of downwards. But unless she goes back to Themyscira, I don't think that's going to happen.

It's a really good costume. But a few tweaks might work:

-Slightly longer skirt and modify the boots a little.

-Entire torso and perhaps shoulders covered, kind of like Hippolyta's armor. It also might be a bit more comfortable for Gal to wear.

 

[haephestus]

I'd like to see:

- slightly longer skirt
- remove high wedge heels from the boots
- lose the leather wraps on her hands (they seem unnecessary for a goddess)
- lose the Sam Browne belt (I don't like how it divides the eagle on her breastplate and it clashes with the rest of the armour)
- extend her armour to cover the entire torso like Queen Hippolyta's armour.

That's about it. Maybe brighten it a little (more like the colours of the solo movie, not DoJ, although that really comes down to lighting, etc).

Otherwise, I think it's pretty good.

And, most importantly, I think Patty Jenkins filmed it well in the solo movie. There was no "male gaze" with the camera, which heightened the impression of it being practical armour instead of a leather strapless mini-dress and thigh high boots.

You know, on second thought, her shoulders don't even necessarily have to be covered. You could give her something similar to what Antiope had (that bit that goes around her neck specifically).

Just so that it's attached to something basically.

No changes. Her suit is dang near perfect to me. I think I would have liked the colors and golds to be brighter, as is her symbol doesn't stand out because it's more muted than the rest of her costume. But that's really it. I can take some changes, as long as they're not too drastic, but man... what a great costume she has.

I'd be down for, like, an alternate costume, like a 'for real armor' look.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

Honestly, nothing. I thought it looked perfect.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

The basic costume changed or added to? Nah. ALTERNATE costumes or clothing with the double W and eagle motif or full armors or mission specific outfits? Yes please. Bring it on.

Maybe a wet suit for underwater scenes?

 

[Osiris-Rex]

Which could also be used in biker scenes.

It would definitely have to be made of better materials than that, as that doesn't look like it's actually designed for underwater.

Don't know if she needs the gloves though. Is that supposed to be her tiara round her waist that turned into a belt?

 

[metaphysician]

I wouldn't be averse to some form of the "golden eagle armor" from Kingdom Come. Though I'd prefer it to be less "yet another artifact", and more a manifestation of a limited-usage divine powerup.

 

[BMCAABY]

 

[Primal Slayer]

I hated that look.

 

[TheComicbookKid]

Golden Chicken?

 

[Dark Raven]

Definitely don't want to see her in that. It looks just like casual clothes a person would dress in, or like a movie on a budget or for a TV show.

It's the same belt.

 

[Milk Tray Guy]

It's the same belt.

Used to have that as a poster on my bedroom wall way back.

 

[jmc]

I would like to see a modern interpretation of the costume. Essentially the same design style but made with modern materials.

 

[Matt.S99]

I usually like seeing variations on costumes, unless they're already perfect. I think what she has now is perfect and I would not really want to see any major changes to it.

 

[Tg11]

Have her suit similar to her mother's

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Fan manip with the INJUSTICE 2 costume.

A sort of take on the classic with the design elements of the Wilkinson suit.

 

[Primal Slayer]

I'd take the tiara and cape.
