We have to send a strongly-worded letter to Marvel about this blatant CENSORSHIP! How could they put Tony in that awful, protective full-body armor when he could be saving the world in a metal crop top?? Now, finally, he and Cap can match!
And with such soulful eyes, he will definitely lead the Avengers to victory!
I guess, in a way, superheroine costumes are kinda like pokemon who evolve only via trade (except pokemon are always awesome). They need a change of medium to be even a little bit less awful.
I feel like @copperbadge should be tagged for this.
We can ONLY DREAM.
I want to know what sort of stays are needed to keep that from flapping and how it won’t end up puncturing a lung. It’s beautiful and I want fiction exploring these and other questions.
I feel like maybe he has that “invisible” lycra on under it like figure-skaters are required to use to hold their bits of their costumes together.
Okay, that is some FINE redesign of Nomad’s classic outfit into MCU costume style! @hopeless–geek has legit understanding of what were the most iconic parts of the original and translated them really well into how Marvel heroes dress in the films.
I mean, if Steve does abandon the name of Captain America in the movies, why wouldn’t he go for the empowerment of deep cleavage?
As we all know, the deeper the neckline, the deeper the character. And this design is still canon!
I want to believe.

There’s been some excitement over Valkyrie’s full armor for Thor Ragnarok… but frankly I’m disappointed for the most part.
Even Tessa’s Thompson’s badass attitude can’t fix the weirdness of this design. Top plate even has a literal hole between the breasts. It shows the layer of armor beneath instead of bare skin, but it’s still a weakening and blow-directing point on the chest. And even though relatively flat, the breastplate overall brings plenty of attention to the boobs with the shapes and colors (could it be any less subtle than painting the titties gold?).
And that’s a shame, because with a better chest piece (and without the wedgeheels) this could have been a cool, believable female warrior costume (even if more on the aesthetic than practical side).
Seems to me like boob ornamentation always gets in the way of Valkyrie looking truly great, no matter which iteration of the character it is.

Is it just me or does she look like she’s a party member in Mass Effect? I mean…
She does not look like she belongs at all… Is she maybe Space Valkyrie from the Future??
A Marvel representative decided to blame the rich representation of new characters, particularly women, LGBTQ+ folk and people of color, in their superherocomics as a reason for their recent sales drop. They’re making a bold claim that it’s the readers and retailers who didn’t really want diversity.
Incidentally, we discussed the potential of scapegoating the strive for diversity in media if said media is unsuccessful in our “Go make your own!” article.
What a spectacular way to ruin an otherwise cool costume design and the introduction of Tessa Thompson, a woman of color, in a role of Norse-inspired character.
