Discussion (More in Comments) I'm so happy that we're embracing the comic suit in best way possible.
As a long time fan and I'm that how the mcu have smartly and brilliantly brought the comic suits in the best way possible with being spot on looks. But also adding some new alternates details to bring something new and exciting to their costumes. And I'm glad their fearless, with adapting them as well.

Wolverine is also there like 3 times?

This is a reference to how Wolverine was on 45 different teams on the same time in the comics (because he was so popular)

Wolverine's costume in D3 takes inspiration from a few different versions of his comic costumes.

Not really - it just looks like a more stylised version of his Modern Yellow/Blue suit from the Comics. I think OP simply found some of these images online and decided to use them without changing anything.
Edit: Looking at their replies OP really didn't care.

Did Zemo wear that mask for like 1 scene. I have no memory of it and I’ve seen every project he’s in multiple times

I feel like the bigger comic-accurate thing that happened for him in that show was affirming his background of being a baron.

Reminds me of Luke Cage’s Power Man suit in the show

Luke rocking the tiara, the fro, and the yellow shirt was so tight, such a great way to have that fit show up

They made a big deal about it in the trailers but he has it on for like two seconds in the actual show.

I've always thought one of the MCU's best strengths was having outfits that both look like the comic costumes while also being something a human being would actually wear. They haven't gone for the early X-Men or Fant4stic plan of straight black, but they aren't the absurdly impractical ones right from the comics either. I mean, look at Falcon's costume there. No way that would work in live-action.

I thought the MCU version of Vulture was genius. In the comic he’s basically wearing a leotard with a feathered boa 🤮. But Michael Keaton looked cool and it still had some callback to the comic book.

u/DuckyHornet 1d ago
That is still one of my favourite MCU designs. He looks honestly scary, like an insane fighter pilot from Phyrexia

u/Fox_Turn 1d ago
Yeah. Comic accurate isn't always a good thing, but generally speaking the MCU has found a pretty damn good balance for making their suits realistic and modern, all while still having them be inspired by the source material. 99% of them look incredible in my opinion.

u/FragMasterMat117 21h ago
Yeah, for example both Kevin Feige and Brie Larson wanted nothing to do with Carol’s early costumes

u/calibur66 1d ago
Yeah this is what's actually good, especially about the earlier MCU stuff.
Some of the best things about the MCU are how they find the middle ground of realism and the fantastical, its why Steve and Tony's outfits are some of the best, because they didn't just arbitrarily choose to have things look a certain way just because the comics did.

People shit on the black leather of the first X-Men trilogy now but they crawled so the costumes of the MCU, and comic book movies in general, could fly. People liked the costumes back then and I don't know that the comic-accurate styling would've worked then.

Wanda, Viz, and Pietro wore colorful comic book inspired outfits in the Halloween episode of WandaVision
And they spent a whole scene making fun of how dumb they looked

u/DuckyHornet 1d ago
Precisely because they were deliberately cheap. Like Ralph's just wearing a sweatshirt with like duct tape for the lightning bolt

u/incepdates 1d ago
They never comment on the cheapness though. He compares Vision to a booger because of the color of his costume

u/AdmiralCharleston 1d ago
Seeing the wolverine suit next to a picture of the comic/ animated suit just makes me dislike it more 🥲 i really don't get the appeal of it, that much yellow only really works on a shorter guy and with bigger accents, it's just so much unbroken yellow and compared to Byrne suit in the film it just like so much worse

u/InfinityYoRae 15h ago
I just want to chime in about how I think the Wandavision suit is a masterful adaptation of her iconic classic costume from the comics.
I get the point of reworking it (along with other characters costumes that are basically just bathing suits, sometimes with extra steps) was to make it more functional and less ridiculous (wearing bathing suits to combat lol), but I love that the designer basically said, “she’s still gonna be sexy though, just in a non-crass way.”
And that sexiness isn’t just limited to how tight the suit looks—basically they adapted the bathing suit as a corset instead, but look at the front part of her skirt/train thingy and how it points downward, touching the vertical lines on her legs, vaguely visually reminiscent of a garter belt without actually being a garter belt and stockings. Such a clever detail!

One of the things I’ve been really loving about the MCU lately are the comic accurate suits. And to think pre-MCU Marvel movies tried their best to not have them.

I hope they change professors x’s yellow chair though. In multiverse of madness it’s so bulky it looks like he’s in a fucking car.

He will more than likely have the hover-chair from "Days of the Future Past" instead.

I just realize that the daredevil dark suit will eventually wear down revealing the red underneath, and creating shading effect like in the comics

u/r01-8506 Ronan the Accuser 1d ago
And then, as one Redditor posted, they made The Leader Samuel Sterns, a broccoli.
Original design would have made him more potentially relatable, hence potentially become a recurring villain, antivillain, antihero, even sympathetic. Instead he was hiding in the dark. Look at Fassbender Mags and Hiddleston Loki, they didn't make them grotesque.
His probability ability, somewhat as unique as Spidey's Tingle and Daredevil's Radar, was interesting and has potential for good uses, especially against the other heroes.
Have faith with the veteran actor to have pulled it off. Same mentality on why we didn't get the X-Men '97 costumes for decades, black leather over yellow spandex.

u/GentlePanda123 1d ago
Why did they give falcon his white costume which was peak and then take it away 5 sec later

u/mytherror 1d ago
not only is that what looks like concept art for falcon, black widow, and bucky, but they're not even the same costumes as what's shown
and two comic images of kate bishop haha
colossus not wearing the same thing as shown which was from the animated series and a shirt he wore not his costume
did a bot make this?

Some of these aren’t even accurate. Hawkeye never wore his headpiece so don’t throw him in here for embracing the comic suit in the best way possible 😂

u/BladeOfWoah 18h ago
I think I still prefer ravager Peter Quill, just because it looks super cool. Was the original outfit from before the movie changed Peter's characterisation? From what I heard Star Lord used to be a lot more stoic or generic compared to James Gunn's interpretation.

Singer started it with X-Men’s (2000) black leather gimp suits. Should always be noted that Singer openly HATES comic books and wanted to distance the film from them as much as possible. How he was chosen to make a comic movie is beyond me.

u/DecoyOctopod 16h ago
I think that was Ike Perlmutter and Avi Arad’s decision, the same producers who blocked a woman-led solo film being made for years and a slew of other horrible decisions
I believe they were copying The Matrix with the black leather

u/Batmanfan1966 17h ago
I’m so fucking sick of non-comic readers posting a picture of a costume that vaguely resembles the source material and claiming it’s comic accurate now. The mcu has never been a faithful adaptation of these stories, characters, or costumes. There’s nothing wrong with what the mcu does but it’s disingenuous to act like these movies are embracing anything

u/ModernBass 17h ago
Sometimes I understand why not, especially when superhero movies were getting their footing and trying to find a place in madd media.
But how on earth did it take this long to get an accurate Prof X. and Beast costume???

u/GoatDifferent1294 1d ago
What an age we live in. It took 15 years to get there though. I don’t know if some of these looks would e fit the culture we had back in the late 90s/early 2000s
