Don't buy that for a second, she'd look 100 times better in muted, matted colours, the Superman fans can complain all they want, Routh's costume looked 10 times that Reeve's costume.

The choice of material is what kills it for me. It looks too plastic.

The good thing is it's better than Halle Berry's Catwoman costume, Elektra's and Silk Spectre's costumes.

The bad part is it's nowhere as convincing as ScarJo's Black Widow or Milla's Ultraviolet getup. :

What was wrong with Silk Spectre's costume?

 

[Matt.S99]

WHat the hell is this crap better than silk spectre or elektras costume?? Not at all. She look like she's wearing a Halloween costume, a bad one. Sexy, sure but definitely not in the way WW should look.

 

[Lencho01]

For those who said WW shouldn't look so skinny, this is how I imagine the person would look. She would clearly have muscle, but not to the point of looking like a body builder or anything like that.

Like that but taller would be perfect.

 

[Mr. Earle]

Even Justin Bieber can beat up Palicki. No sir, i do not like it.

People also didn´t like the look of the Batman costumes in Begins when they saw it in front of a white background, they said the color was wrong, looked too much like the sonar suit in BF, than in the movie it didn´t look like in that pic,and said the same about the TDK suit, in the pic they said he looked too robotic, and in the movie he didn´t. When people saw the first pics of Iron Man for IM2 and Thor they also said they looked too plastic,and they looked fine in the movies. I´ll wait to see it in action, with proper lighting and cinematography. It´s really Palicki I´m not happy about.

It's far worse than those examples. And this is TV, remember.

As for the TDK suit not looking robotic on film... your mileage may vary on that one.

The complaint was the same, too shiny and plastic. Some TV shows can look very good, about as good as a decently produced movie.

Maybe only brighter scenes where you saw all of it, but most were darker, and in movement he definitely didn´t look robotic.

 

[JAK®]

Mayne only brighter scenes where you saw all of it, but most were darker, and in movement he definitely didn´t look robotic.

Yeah, when it was in the dark and I couldnt see it, it didn't look robotic.

 

[Matt.S99]

You can compare the two suits. I'm sure ppl didn't like the begins suit at frost but it's no where near this level. Whether she's on action or not the point Is it's a bad suit. It looks completely amature and fake.tv show or not, they can make a better suit. This looks like they just went to a costume shop and bought a simple latex suit and put some terrible plastic plates on it.

Oh and that body is exactly how WW should look. Athletic with broader shoulders but not manly.

 

[Green Ghost]

Agree! I also like the Returns suit better than the older bright colors...

And darker colors (specially on the blue pants) and some different material would also improve this costume...

 

[ultimatefan]

Responding to JMC, from the previous version of the thread: I defended Routh´s costume, although I did find the red a bit too dark, and people wanted to tear me a new one, how dare I defend such ruin of the iconic bright red and blue. It´s just funny to see how the tides can turn around here.

 

[ultimatefan]

It looked like a sophisticated combat suit, which is what it is. It´s based on biker suits, with protective plates combined with fabric, a combination of protection and freedom. Iron Man is robotic. Robocop is robotic. Batman uses technology, has an utility belt, it´s not alien for him to have technology in his suit, but still, most of the time he´s in the darkness, shadowy and stealthy as he´s supposed to be. That´s just a different way to not accept it that he doesn´t wear spandex tights, even though people claim they don´t want it - but complain about every suit for not being that.

They are so far from that now it isn't even funny. To think that Kelley and the rest gave so little thought to her physique boggles the mind. Is it too late for them to make a change?

I don´t see how she´s athletic. Her arms and legs don´t seem to have any muscle on them whatsoever, they´re twigs.

???

The girl is clearly fit. Female athletes aren't going to look as big or toned as their male counterparts, nor should they. I know what twigs and non-athletic limbs on females look like. That woman displays none of it. The first and last pics are especially good examples. Females don't naturally look like that without putting in work.

I have no idea what you're looking at.

I know that strong women aren´t supposed to look as buff as men, just compare withthat other chick - her name is Tsianina Joelson, if memory serves me -, she DOES have muscle definition and volume, without looking manly, I don´t see the same in Palicki.

There may be a misunderstanding here. My athletic remarks were in regards to the unnamed girl above (as batboy99 was indicating), not Palicki. I will agree that the latter is not at all how I'd like Diana to look.

Well, it is Hollywood. How often do they ever give us women that look like they could really physically do what they do? Pretty much, it boils down what I said in the previous thread.

Anyhow, WW is a WARRIOR princess. Plenty of good-looking girls out there in Hollyweird. Not many who are beautiful and athlete (like a warrior) are given the spot light. Gotta have those Size 0 figures and whatnot.

It's interesting that the expectation of male superheroes is that they have muscle, but we can't get the same thing for the females.

It´s embarassing how often you see mousey skinny girls in movies and TV beating the crap out of six-foot, 200-pound well-trained men.
