What Do You NOT Want To See In A GL Movie?

[Webhead2006]

yea with the right look/text material that was used for FF films could be turned into something good.

 

[Octoberist]

the one thing that I don't want is armor. and if they do go with armor, don't make it too obvious. i think spandex could work because it's very alien if you think about it; it doesn't look like anything that our (Earths') miltary would wear.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I completely agree, octoberist.

Thats actually a tiny problem i have with the otherwise Excellent looking animated movie.

 

[protocida]

They're not using armors.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Course they are. Hal's costume, one of the greatest costumes ever, has been traded in for souped up, slightly iron man-like battle wear.

Dont even get me started on the lack of white gloves...

 

[protocida]

Still the perfect suit for a movie, tough.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Well none of us have seen the movie yet so i dunno how you can say that.

 

[protocida]

I've seen the trailer.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, we've all seen the 90 second, virtually dialogue free trailer. It's great but theres nothing at all in it that tells me they had to change the costume or that the original one wouldn'tve worked just as well.

 

[protocida]

It's more movie-esque.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I don't want to see the rings being vunerable to yellow. The GA already has enough of a wrong impression of it as it is.
Besides, it's been more or less completely done away with in the books.

 

[Webhead2006]

Well if they can come up with a logical reason for the yellow weakness i dont have a problem of it being in the film series.

Then I am sure you won't like this one:

SWEET JESUS! That is the single ugliest GL costume idea ive ever seen.
Is that an X-Men outfit. EEEEEEEUUUUUUCCCHHHH!


Yeah, and a HUGE "NO" to armour!

 

[Webhead2006]

hell no stay more classic like what spiderman movie costume did. Stay classic with some more modern modifications.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Do them like the FF movie costumes. They were just about the only good things in those films.

 

[Octoberist]

yeah, the spandex looked good in those movies.

 

[Webhead2006]

yea a mix of classic look spider-man suit like i said and material from spidey/ff films.

Sadly, I could see them doing that for Guy Gardener's uniform, unless they go the lazy route and make them all look the same.

What I don't get, is when people say "We can't use spandex, spandex looks gay! Let's go for something much more straight.... let's dress him up in leather and PVC!"

If anything, leather/PVC gear has more overtly fetishistic connotations than spandex. Spandex is worn by professional athletes at the Olympics and other sporting events.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

I think it's some sort of unfortunate leftover from the dark days of the nineties... You cover everything in black leather and chains and spikes and for some reason that makes a character "More mature"... I don't get it either.

"X-Men" was in this decade (2000). The ninetys was the era of the rubber suit and Bat-nipples.

 

[Wesley Dodds]

Yeah, that's what i said.

Besides, X-Men was mostly put together in the tail end of the 90's... It was RELEASED in 2000.

 

[That-Guy]

I don't want to see Justin Timberlake in a GL movie.

 

[Drakon]

I'm shocked it took that long to get out here.
