It's lame that they went for the "kewl" Matrix style Ultimate Marvel redesign of Hawkeye's costume, though. The original costume has a classic design, all they would've needed to do was tweak the horns of the mask and the tunic, as they probably don't look that good in live action:

What's even lamer is that in the main Marvel continuity Hawkeye now has the same stupid Matrix costume, most likely for cross-marketing purposes.

i agree about ultimate hawkeye being lame - thats a design thats really aged poorly - but i've always thought all his iterations were pretty lame looking. at least hes not wearing wraparound shades in this
they did go with one of the most overtly comic booky costumes ive ever seen for captain america though

Yeah, Captain America is the one example where they could've modernized the costume a bit more. His helmet is especially goofy, as it makes his head look bloated in a weird way. Maybe they should've given him a hood instead of a helmet, like in the comics?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 1 March 2012 09:10 (fourteen years ago)
he sorta looks like an overgrown toddler now.

Captain America's costume looked great in his solo movie but the modern design is kind of terrrible
― Number None, Thursday, 1 March 2012 10:29 (fourteen years ago)
I dunno, I thought the helmet looked goofily big in that one too. Either he should have a hood, or a helmet that doesn't cover his whole head.
― Tuomas, Thursday, 1 March 2012 10:32 (fourteen years ago)
I guess the reason they didn't want to change Cap's costume too much is because he's the best known and most iconic of these characters?
― Tuomas, Thursday, 1 March 2012 10:33 (fourteen years ago)
Not really! I would say the hulk by far.

That depends on how good Ruffalo looks in purple cutoffs.

Cap. America is a strict costume constructionist. He's all about tradition.

if they kept hawkeye's loincloth it would have bene ridiculous.

i'm psyched about the new soundgarden song, i won't lie. i think....three? of the other bands have made at least one single i've enjoyed in the last few years.

I really don't think I should be looking at the soundtrack for a 2012 movie and thinking "the most appealing-looking song on here is the Photek remix of Evanescence"
