X-Men - Color and Costumes

MilkmanDan says...

I kind of get it. But on the other hand, every time you change mediums the way you tell the story changes. Every time a movie comes out based on a book (I mean an all-text novel, not a graphic novel / comic), most people that love the source book *think* that they want the movie to be a 100% verbatim adaptation. But the medium just doesn't work the same way.

Describing a setting or a character might take many paragraphs in a book, possibly spread out over multiple chapters or even multiple books. In a movie, *bam* -- you put it on screen, and you can see it. Done. On the other hand, describing a character's motivations can be done very succinctly or in great depth and detail in a book, but it is harder to do that in a purely visual medium like film.

Wolverine's color scheme and costume design works in comic books. His mask/hat thing with the horn-like points works in the comics. But in live-action film, what materials can look or behave like either or those things, and not be jarringly weird? Even cosplay type stuff is generally built to look good in still images -- not necessarily in video, being subjected to action-movie kinds of physical motion. I believe the directors / filmmakers when they say that they have tried more authentic costumes, and felt that they "didn't work".

Deadpool was a very good example of how it *can* work to move the imagery in a direction visually closer to the comic books. But I think the best we can hope for is a happy medium where *some* visual cues are adapted from the comics, in the situations where those things adapt well to the format.

Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice - Official Trailer 2

artician says...

I have zero interest in this film now. They just tossed a cosplayer into what was shaping up to be an interesting combination of characters.

Also, they obviously went to Eisenberg for the role and said "You can do 'Heath-Ledger-crazy', right?" It just stinks of hoping to re-capture another Joker performance.

Being a model must be a requirement for cosplay in Russia...

No sh!t!!! I had to stop and go back to make sure it wasn't actually him. I wonder if he does Di Nero impressions?
Some seriously good cosplay here.

Archers Comic-Con Message

RFlagg says...

In the new Mad Max movie they spray a substance in their mouth that gives them extra energy. Both characters beyond Archer are doing Mad Max cosplay.

The Steampunk World's Fair 2015 - Steampunk Cosplay

Payback says...

As with a lot of cosplay, it's the attitude that counts. Not everyone has costuming skills.

JustSaying said:

So, the Steampunk World's Fair is basically nothing but oldtimey ComicCon? Trow some gears and bolts on you costume and that's it?
There were some truly great costumes but also just some dude wearing a Fez, Thor and a fucking mime.
