MisterPL Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 We're talking about a look. I don't really care what "race" a character like The Joker is but he'd better have chalk white skin, emerald hair, and rouge red lips. Anything else is an Elseworlds story. This is pretend, people.

Again PL we are on the same wavelength, race isnt what matters here, its the look, Jazie Beetz would be fine if she had the complete Domino look, there are a few characters that are defined by their race, as its played into their development, but not many Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said, the only other race I would've preferred over African American is Japanese, maybe Chinese or Korean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love that none of those are "races." We've become so paranoid about being "racist" that we've redefined what "races" are. I sincerely look forward to the day when we're all the same shade of brown so we can judge people by what's truly important; how they drive.

Heinous Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Oh man, a hit monkey pack in would be an awesome accessory! Typhoid Mary would be a good figure too, I guess she's more of a DD villain though, huh? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Hit-Monkey was a pack in, then the wave could be four Deadpool variants and four other current Mercs for Money (Machine Man, Negasonic, Gorilla-Man, and Masacre). With the wave 65 Deadpool and Domino, you'd have the whole team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Typhoid Mary, Hercules, Ghost, Ares and a few others. I wouldn't mind getting Typhoid Mary, Ghost and an Ares re-do. That mate looks great but is too expensive on the secondary market.

Heinous Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Oh ghost would be awesome! Especially his modern look with the dark avengers. I was actually thinking today it's crazy we don't have a super adaptoid yet, he's all reuse parts! Vision cape, Ironman mask and gauntlets, and maybe his belt with the circles on the side. Cap boots and shield (he used a shield right? I'm blanking) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freaqualizer Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 Yeah, he had a shield but I don't think it was round. I think it was like Old School Cap's shield. I've often thought about making one using the Vault Guardsman. But ain't nobody got time for that! I prefer my customs the old school easy parts swapping way.

The Scarlet Spider Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 (edited) I think a dark Avengers wave would be awesome. I need a ghost minimate and ares is rare enough to warrant a redo and dark gargan spidey could anchor the wave. Id gladly buy a comic ghost in that wave and then another movie ghost when antman 2 comes out Edited September 8, 2017 by The Scarlet Spider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason the MCU doesn't think villains wear costumes. Only superheroes are silly enough to wear them......I'm looking at you Batroc.

For the most part, the MCU heroes resemble their comic book counter parts. Whiplash had a costume? Abomination had a costume? Malekith resembled his comic book counter part's costume? No. He wore armor. The Red Skull wore a uniform, granted he wears a uniform on and off again in the comics. Ultron? Really? But, that's ok. I'll concede and say you're right. Great job, keyboard warrior, another win for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heinous Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 Whiplash had the giant iron monger-esq suit at the end. Abomination looked like a monster, he doesn't wear clothes, silly. For Malekith and ultron you didn't say comic accurate, you said villains in the MCU don't wear costumes, so Mattallica answered to that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mirymate Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 @Freaqualizer It's not so much a matter of no costume as they are off comics model. MCU is hardly the only offender on that as only Rami's Sandman was "on model" and the less said about the "Amazing" era designs the better. (and then there's the X-Men franchise.... oy) But then, 90% of comics costumes look stupid translated into live action. (don't believe me, go visit the Marvel section of universal studios theme park) Malekith looks like a bad playing card warrior from Wonderland, not really threatening. Vulture... wrinkly guy in his mid 70's in green tights with wings under his arms. shudder. Stuff gets changed for Movies and TV. Races get changed, costumes get mangled, origins get mutilated. The question becomes is the core of the character recognizable? MCU's Vulture, and Rami's Doc Ock? Easily despite both their origins and costumes being changed. Electro and Whiplash? Not so much. And Abomination was very on model... just the Ultimate Universe Abomination, but w/o the tail. Most of the MCU is more based on the 1610 rather than the 616.

MisterPL Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 As someone who craves authenticity, I love it when a comic book costume works on screen as it does with Raimi's and Webb's Spider-Man and Deadpool. I also love it when purists are shown how ridiculous they can look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TENIME_art Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 I LOVED Batroc's look in Winter Soldier. They kept the colors, but made it work so much better than his comic look. ("It doesn't have to be source-faithful if it improves on it.") I made a QC Ghost with Anti-Venom, comic Scott Lang's helmet, and some webgear: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
