Even separating the artist from the art, I hate Singer’s superhero films. I’m sure the “superhero costumes r stoopid” mindset has always been around, but I don’t recall it infecting the movies, television, and even the comics to any great degree before Singer got his hands on the X-Men. Now superheroes gotta wear “realistic” costumes with extraneous textures & buckles & zippers & straps & plates 'cause so-called creators & so-called fans have disdain/embarrassment for the source material.
I’m not embarrassed by comics, but I do think the costumes worn by characters from those comics would look pretty stupid on the big screen. Maybe we didn’t need black leather outfits, but I’d prefer that to the yellow spandex from the old comics.
YMMV, but I see nothing intrinsically stupid about these uniforms:
Admittedly, I wouldn’t mind more utilitarian boots & gloves, but the overall colours and design of the suits are just fine. Made with the right fabrics (NOT spandex) I think they’d translate to live-action quite well.
