It's not just about comic book "flamboyancy", it is about understanding the x-men.
Summers said it himself "you don't see the Fantastic Four or the Avengers being chased with torches and pitchforks through the streets"
A line by Joss Whedon which was practically a direct response to the singer look,

"And quite frankly, all the black leather is making people nervous"

One of the best lines, and parts of his run on the X-Men because he brought purpose behind the fact they wear uniforms. Not shitty stealth covert tacti-cool stuff. There is room in the cinematic universe, ANY cinematic universe- I'm not speaking of the MCU -for faithfulness. Look at the Avengers. Via Singer's world, Captain America might as well look like a modern day black ops soldier. Forget having a costume at all. Where's the fun in that? Iron Man would have War Machine's color scheme, Hulk would be grey, Thor would look like an actual viking, and it'd all be really fucking boring. YES, they ARE comic book characters. Can we stop trying to change that? Or even ignore that. Embrace that dammit. Visually. Completely.

I don't feel like madvillain understands comic books at all. Or even likes them. Especially not when he thinks they're supposed to "look stupid".

Captain America does look kind of stupid, though, but maybe we should be using the term, "goofy", instead. Still, would I change anything about his portrayal on-screen? Hell no. I could be misinterpreting madvillain, but I think comic book characters can look goofy, but still look cool and that's how they should be.

You're the one who wants something more realistic for them to wear because that's what a runner would wear. They aren't trying out for the Olympics, they wear costumes, it doesn't have to be functional when they're running at impossible speeds.

No, other people are saying that. I just want something that looks like the comics.
They always come up with these shitty interpretations for live action stuff. Like seriously? That's the best you could come up with?
For example- the red is darker.
Why? Is that supposed to make it look less... less what? Less ostentatious? Who cares if it looks ostentatious. Its a man who can run faster than the eye can see. He can fucking wear bright red. No one is going to give a flying fuck if he looks a little ostentatious.
Okay, also, the center of his emblem on his chest- the inner color is no longer white? Why?
What possible reason was there to change this? It's even a different red from the rest of the outfit.
Why? Why did you HAVE TO change that? What for?
Then the costume is different textures at different parts... like, why? Why different materials?
I dunno. It seems like a re-design for the sake of a re-design. No other reason. They didn't make it look better. Just different. And for no good reason except to be "edgy" and "cool".
I mean shit, I'll bet you dollars to pesos Brian Singer had better logic behind the black tacti-cool outfits in X-Men. Those were entirely different from their comic book counterparts.
But with this Flash... it's just darker, and more cluttered? What the fuck kind of logic is behind that? What stupid-ass purpose does that serve?

The Flash's costume hasn't always been bright red.


There's also nothing 'edgy' or 'cool' about the TV design, he's smiling in the first promo shot they released and is jumping and running around in broad daylight in the set photos. Stop throwing around buzzwords.

If the TV outfit looked remotely like that, id be happy

Funny thing, he was shooting scenes with Hayley Atwell in a 40´s kind of set...

There are rumours he's either playing Android Human Torch/Synthetic Man (since they probably can't call him Human Torch for legal reasons, but then again, no one expected there to be a loophole with Quicksilver and Scarlet Witch, and there are also 2 characters called Nova which Fox owns one and Marvel/Disney the other so you never know), or human Jarvis in the 40s. both are reasonable explanations.

Nice to hear them talk about the characters.

So EW reveal with some pics and interviews...



















Some news about Avengers tower...
http://uk.ign.com/articles/2014/07/16/m ... -of-ultron

“Last time we saw Stark Tower, from The Avengers, it had gotten beat up a little bit thanks to Hulk and thanks to Loki and the Chituari, and Pepper and Tony were standing over a table looking at plans” he explained. “That’s where we pulled out and all the letters had fallen away except the ‘A’ in Stark. So what they were doing was retro-fitting for The Avengers. And that’s what we see in this next film.

“S.H.I.E.L.D. is gone – for people who are following along. S.H.I.E.L.D. was disbanded and brought down at the end of The Winter Soldier because it turned out to not be the best organisation ever. So Tony’s bank-rolling The Avengers now. And he’s bank-rolling their headquarters. So it’s now Avengers Tower.

“Tony designed it so in addition to a hanger for a brand-new Quinjet, laboratories, places where he can build and store his Iron Man suits, there are I believe two bars. Beautiful multiple space living rooms which are perfect for parties and social gatherings. But it’s a primary location in the film this time around.”



Apart from that the interviews say that Ultron is an AI designed to identify and assess threats and after that comand the Iron Legion to destroy them. Thing is,he comes to the conclusion that humanity itself is a threat and that the world would be better off without us.
Also Vision is a "super powered synthetic human" created by Ultron to show that humans don´t have the monopoly in creating life.

I love how Hawkeye is the only one who looks like he thinks things may not end too well for him.

Also, there a lot of details to this poster you don't realize at first until zooming in and looking at it for awhile. Like how Quicksilver's power is partially conveyed through there being multiple versions of him and one of Hawkeye's arrows being impaled through the hand of one of the Ultron drones on Hulk.

Speaking of details, lets see a properly big one.

Like the energy stuff on Black Widow's outfit? Yeah. This is hi-res.

Wow, you can certainly see The Vision better.

It's almost like this picture provides you with a better vision.
