Hate the scales personally. I dig that hex pattern though.
Don't think that was ever supposed to be his modern day suit. It's just a sleeker looking version of the WWII suit. I do love the helmet and head/neck area on this suit though.Still don't understand why they didn't go with the original modern-day concept:
Surely that would have been a more logical transition from the WWII suit?
I'm not saying he can't wear civilian outfits, or even that he can't don a super-soldier sort of costume at some point in the film.It makes a tremendous amount of sense to Cap to be dressed in his comic-book styled suit when leading others into battle. He is meant to be a symbol of inspiration, and was to the Howling Commandos in TFA and to the members of SHIELD (Coulson in particular) in the Avengers.
However, it doesn't make a bit of sense for Cap to don his highly stylized battle suit when on a secret-agent mission, and could very likely make him look silly. As in TFA, we'll likely see Cap in a variety of outfits - Civilian garb as in the concept art, a super-soldier type SHIELD outfit, and the full red, white and blue costume for the final battle.
I really like this too.
I copied and pasted the helmet on the other version too, but don't like it as much.
Where have you seen the new suit?Not a lot of action in this thread about the new suit. It actually looks much like the "modern TFA" suit. I'm excited. looks more combat ready than The Avengers and that helmet everyone adored is back.
Yeah I thought it was kinda sad that in the commentary, Joss said something during the bank scene to the effect of:
'This scene also has the benefit of getting rid of his cowl'
So even on set, Whedon knew it didn't look too awesome, unfortunate
This would be my perfect cowl/helmet for Cap:yeah the neck fabric and the covered ears killed the cowl in Avengers
but I still hate the chinstrap from TFA, so I'm a no on that one too
Here is something that I quickly worked up.
Its basically a mash up of both suits. I kept the Avengers suit as the main suit, but I added in elements of his old TFA suit (boots, his shoulder pads, his original helmet). I changed the color of his belt because blue was stupid, and I made the grey just a tad darker on his shoulders, and chin strap. I also added a kinda faux scale camo pattern to his chest area. I was basically thinking they should keep the idea they had for the cowl, except go back to the strapped helmet, I unno I think it just defines his face better. What do you guys think? I tried making this as practical/tactical and form fitting/comic inspired as I could.
I love the Avengers, but every time I see Cap, he just looks like his in Cosplay. That suit has to be one of the worst designed superhero suits to ever make it to the big screen.
Seriously, if they'd gone with the original cowl (or a proper helmet like in TFA) I doubt we'd be hearing any complaints about The Avengers suit whatsoever. It's just the plasticity/rubbery appearance of the helmet together with the untidy fabric area around the neck which makes it look strange:
