What are the worst costume redesigns in the history of superheroes?
It's just the black and green suit with The First stuff added in.
whats bad about it?
Yes I'm fanny flustered over "Hanz Zimmer scored Punisher" functionally not a bad design, but it's self important, and it misses the certain thematic elements I think are essential to the character. The more grounded his getup becomes, the more ridiculous he is running around in 616.
also, her pal Jess' new shit
>>78557881
>leg stabilizer wings fully extended for extreme aerial combat
PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFTTTT
>>78557664
>The New Sentai Team is literally Furry Minecraft Rangers
It's so stupid it might work.
>>78557664
Jesus christ it's just an update of the Sakurajima design. Only problem is just the helmet looks too small in comparison to the rest of the suit, it'll look different in actual live action too I bet.
>>78557991
That's not a bad suit actually. It's the actual book that goes with it that went to shit.
>>78558034
>>78558034
Oh fuck the Green Tea Kettle. Even Darwyn Cooke couldn't make that design look less stupid.
Electric Superman, of course.
>>78557991
I think it looks good without the mask
>>78557664
Honestly, they should have just changed the green parts to blue ala The First and it would have been perfect. Save the green for Nigo instead.
>>78557991
I actually don't mind the new Spider-Woman outfit aside from it needing a few touches to make it feel more heroic. If there were some kind of fusion of both I'd be pretty happy with it.
Captain Marvel's I wouldn't say is bad "objectively" but I just can't bring myself to like the design. At least they didn't turn her into a second-rate closet cosplay costumer like they did with Jess.
>>78558189
The blue was already used on who's that guy.
>>78557664
>sentai and rider designs
I need to visit /m/ more often
>>78558734
The current Kamen Rider series is pretty bad so far.
Not as bad as Ninninger though.
>>78558106
if it ain't broke for 43 years don't fucking 'fix' it
>>78558762
that tiny conflict betwen specter and ghost was cool, but is far from the actual good kamen rider series.Also yurusen is really lewd
>>78558134
That was a fantastic redesign, fuck you Boco.
>>78558795
You haven't seen the suits they use in newer material for Riders 1 and 2, have you?
It's cheap looking stage show bullshit, doesn't even look half as good as the original suits.
>>78557946
I'm not really a fan of The Punisher, but I love this getup so much. But then I have a minor fetish for tactical stuff.
>>78558034
Jesus, how have I never seen this before?
>>78558815
I totally would a Yurusen.Yurusen should win the Takeru-bowl.
>>78558795
The only problem the old suits have is the budget and materials used in making them.
>>78558819
Buddy I'm all for yelling at Boco, but going so far as to say electric Superman was good? I've heard of cutting off your nose to spite your face...this is next-level shit.
>>78558852
i hope she doesnt get stuck like a sassy side kick forever
>>78558889
The idea was dumb, but the design of the costume itself was actually pretty good.
>>78557664
Most of Kris Anka's stuff
>>78558918
Well, Onari is supposed to get character development so maybe she'll get some too.
>>78558762
>current series
That's ghost, yeah?
I really didn't like decade, wizard, or drive (didn't see a lot of it, though) so far.
shame to hear the latest one is also bad.
>>78558937
Don't be a homophobe, shitlord.
>>78559132
It's not bad, it just had a rocky start. It's been getting better though
>>78559174
The only way they can redeem Ghost is by making Onari Necrom.
>>78558762
>Ninninger
I tried so hard to get through it but I had to bail.
>>78559521
Because it's objectively shit.
Just Scott and Emma.
>>78559589
Pic might help
>>78559521
Finally, a Japanese hero that Americans can relate to.
>>78559631Javel/Gekichopper's actor is from California.
They should've just given him a male version of Helena Wayne's Robin costume
>>78559883
Sounds like crossing the ocean was his real amazing ability
What the fuck were they thinking?
>>78559600
Are their eyes trying to escape from their skulls?
>>78560212
I legit miss the Chinspike.
>>78559328
I actually agree with this, fwiw
>>78558762
I really enjoy the characters in Ghost right now, I'm just really not into the gimmick for the show itself.
>>78558835
>Jesus, how have I never seen this before?
It comes from one of the single worst runs of JSA in history. I don't blame you for skipping it.
>>78557881
You just know they made that for moviefags.
>>78558889
>>78558933
Fuck you, blue Superman was awesome. It was never intended to be permanent and his new powers were really cool.
>>78558795
god i love showa rider
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZaJX3pBPXvs
>>78559328
This one really is just bad. The Man of Steel costume showed that the suit CAN look OK without the trunks, so it just comes down to Lee being a horrid designer. In fact all of the New 52 redesigns were awful except Wonder Woman.
>>78562959
It's pretty fantastic. I think what's more likely for the redesign is that the usual Rider 1 suit they have was starting to age and look like shit so they just changed the design in addition to making a new one.
>>78562976
Flash's Manapul design was pretty godly, but Manapul can draw anything and make it look amazing.
Everything about it is offensive.
>>78563186
>offensive
Quit being a baby. The only problem with it is the lack of color around the midsection to break up all that fucking blue.
>>78563186
I think his earth 2 costume is way better. Even it's not without it's faults though.
>those shoulder pads
>that belt
>those boots
Yuck
>>78563267
Earth 2 had pretty good costumes for the whole Trinity.
>>78559328
>>78563186
i have a hard time finding the new 52 designs bad when 90% of them look like the original design with either no trunks (superman & batman), trim color changed (wonderwoman & nightwing) or just have lines drawn over them.
they come off more as lazy
>>78558084
I love the new helmets, bet the rest of their suits look pretty awful.
And their unsuited versions look even worse.
>>78563286
agreed
>>78558815
>Tfw no Yurusen sex toy
>>78563628
Let's not get TOO off topic here guys.
>>78563670
Those fucking graphic tee suit designs.
How fucking lazy can you get.
>>78563670
Ca n't they use new animals for once?
>>78557991
The suit's alright, but what the fuck is wrong with her hair? She looks like a duck.
>>78563688
>>78563703
Sentai designs reached their peak with Dairanger. They only really managed a renaissance with Shinkenger and Gokaiger.
>>78557664
I wouldn't mind this suit nearly as much if they hadn't fucked with the belt design. Even Rider 3 knew not to fuck with the classic belt.
>>78563749
I'm not really familiar with Sentai at all, I've been meaning to watch a couple seasons but I just don't have time to marathon shit like I used to.
>>78563768
It is one designed so that bad guys cannot either gum up the fan or trap him in a vaccuum
>>78563768
I absolutely love Rider 3's design, it's just a shame the movie was shit.
>>78563773
Honestly, I don't love it. I can enjoy a lot of Rider series well enough, but it's a lot harder for me to get into Sentai. I did love Shinkenger, and Gokaiger was a fun ride even without getting all the references, but nothing else ever really engrossed me.
It's weird, because the team dynamics should help it be more interesting than Rider, but it doesn't quite work out that way.
The first designs is GOAT.
>>78563785
Considering the original cyclone belt already had protective features against that, there's still no purpose for this.
>>78563800
I'm still holding out hope for a V-Cinema starring him. At the very least Rider 4's miniseries was fantastic.
>>78563768
W..what is this?
I never heard of such a movie!
>>78563670
Shark tits! Or lack thereof.
Shark flats!
>>78563829
And again, like >>78563800
it's a shame the movies were also shit.
>>78563829
The leather really works with the Biker look.
Much better than the weird armour we have on his new one.
>>78563871
It's Kamen Rider Drive's spring movie from earlier this year, Superhero Taisen GP: Kamen Rider 3. Shocker creates a cosmic retcon machine allowing them to send back one of their modern cyborgs to kill Rider 1 and 2 immediately after they defeated Great Leader in the 1971 series finale, and sends the entire world to shit. Drive has to team up with the other surviving Riders in the modern day and win the Kamen Rider equivalent of Whacky Races to save the day.
It's a fucking awful movie, but Rider 3 himself is a pretty cool character. The real shame is that the movie starts out kinda decent and then shits itself halfway through, once the cast get where they need to go and the whacky races start.
Also of note is Rider 3 is actually based loosely on an old abandoned Ishinomori design for the third Kamen Rider, which was ultimately scrapped for V3.
>>78563904
I expected the movies to be shit, which made me able to enjoy them a tiny bit. Not so much the next, of course.
>>78563916
The leather with just the grasshoper platings is perfect, specially when they are riders.
I'd never seen the design in OP's pic. Is this something official? I thought they were done using Hongo and Hayato, if not just for showing on specials for nostalgia cash in.
>>78563990
>The real shame is that the movie starts out kinda decent and then shits itself halfway through, once the cast get where they need to go and the whacky races start.
That's sort of how I felt about the previous Superhero Taisen movie, Heisei vs. Showa. It actually had some really fun character bits a lot of Showa actors returning, then it just decides to end the movie in the stupidest way possible.
>Karate bugmen
>The last bugman was 10 years ago
>>78564036
It's for this season's spring Taisen movie. Just got released this week, I believe.
>>78564046
Hey now, don't forget about GaKiriBa.
...which got used like twice within the actual series.
>>78563990
He looks nice. I dislike most Heisei design for deviating from the bug motif. This is an improvement. Also ascot, can only make a design better.
>>78563867
This is crap though.
>>78564046
Ghost seems to be based on a firefly.
>>78564039
All the damn Taisen movies do that. It's really frustrating. Heisei Vs Showa's real standout was the Kamen Rider X and Faiz plotline, which was probably the strongest part of the movie even after it all went to shit.
>>78564086
>Disliking Karate Bugrobo Pilot
You make me sick.
>>78564138
I hate mouth plates actually shaped like a mouth.
>>78564157
Thats because hes alt-universe Riderman.
>>78563211
>muh color break up meme
yet somehow Batman and Flash dont need that color break up which everyone is crying about
>>78564125
I thought Faiz was based on a firefly?
>>78560212
This is great, though? Both of his costumes are fine though.
>>78564234
They both have belts for exactly that reason.
>>78564234
Batman's suit isn't just solid black or grey though.
Flash's suit is an exception, yes, but the way motion and his poses are drawn in Flash comics makes it look a LOT better.
>>78564157
You sicken me
>>78564244
No reason both cant be based on the same thing.
Apparently fireflies have connections with leading dead spirits and stuff like that in Japan.
>>78564281
Ah that makes sense.
>>78564272
Rider costumes generally work off of a different aesthetic than Sentai costumes, besides there's no accounting for personal taste.
>>78564256
>Flash has a yellow belt to break up the red
>Superman doesnt have a red belt to break up the blue
ok
>>78563867
Rider 4 is a fucking awesome design. Petition for a series that's just Riders 3 and 4 having dimensionally displaced adventures?
>>78563867
The original Cyclone belt didn't have those precautions, Shocker / Gelshocker just didn't think to attack the belt directly until the very second to last episode and shot cum allover it to stop the turbine from spinning
>>78557664
So, wait, where's this design from? Is it official?
>>78564501
Get Decade in there and I'm sold.
>>78564568
Read the thread.
>>78564568
It's a new suit after 43 fucking years of having the same one just to bank on nostalgiafag dollars
I tell ya folks there might be an ocean between them and an entire world of cultural and design differences between western and Jap superheroes but some of the old rules never change, need to remake an iconic character newer and edgier just give em an ugly new costume
>>78564272
Just cause it's used on ranger doesn't mean it's good.
Why would you protect your mouth with a piece of metal/fiberglass shaped like a pucker?
Riders without grasshoper grills are disgusting. I can let that one go, though, since it's Riderman's legacy.
>>78559600
Magik's is pretty bad too. What are those things on her head? Is she trying to be like a demonic neko?
>>78564672
Fins that let her detect the flow of magical energies in her envionment
>>78564621
Shit looks terrible. Even they wanted update they should've just used the First bikers jackets.
Showa riders doesn't need to be overarmored.
>>78564562
Rider 1's appearance in Heisei Vs Showa and Rider 3 both had seals on their belt that only opened when it was time to transform.
>>78564157
He's an evil robot take on Riderman. He can't not have the mouth.
>>78564621
Huh.
I don't think it's that bad, but I'd rather they just repurposed the First suit, which was a fantastic element of a horrendous movie.
Half of Dick grayson's costume changes
/thread
>>78563867
Alright, i like that paramilitary look.
What's that miniseries called?
>>78560080
I do not understand why the artist thought the crotch arrow was so necessary. If they wanted to break up the red and green then a belt would've done fine.
Half the artists/colorists who work on it seem to try their darnedest to not do it because it's just that awkward.
Going from Kyles great first costume to his amazing Ion costume then to this shit was just sad.
>>78564792
Rider 4, it picks up from the end of >>78563990
Unfortunately the only group that has subbed it so far is notoriously terrible.
>>78564577
Okay, new pitch: 3 and 4 being dicks to everyone throughout the dimensions, while Decade and Diend try to stop them.
>>78564792
D-Video Special: Kamen Rider 4. It's a direct follow-up to Taisen GP though, and spoils the ending of Kamen Ride Faiz since it's a mini crossover between that, Drive, and a bit of Den-O.
>>78564837
Thanks. I'm guessing you mean tv-nihon, right?
>>78564773
You better not be talking shit about this one.
>>78564857
Yep.
>>78564803
>the yellow stitching becomes single solid pieces serving zero function
DC can no longer design costumes for shit so they resort to parodying themselves.
>>78564839
Rider 3's plotline ended with him embracing his heroic side though. Frankly I'd rather have him traveling through time in the Tri-Cyclone with a rebuilt Rider 4 fixing time anomalies left over from Shocker's bullshit, while trying to get back into the original timeline and become canon again.
>>78564859
How can I be when that is the hottest one of them all.
3 years ago there was a group subbing The first Kamen Rider series (V3 and Amazon were the only Showa subbed). Have they finished that shit?
>>78564900
Tsukasa kind of had a suicidal death wish in HvS, maybe Rider 3 bounces around through time trying to make sure he doesn't do anything stupid.
Good as a new superhero costume, terrible as a Supes costume.
>>78564925
Original KR only has half of the series subbed, but considering it's almost 100 episodes long, that's pretty fucking impressive.
Stronger and X have been subbed completely that I know of, Stronger's subs are good quality, X's... not so much from what I've heard.
>>78564727
Heisei vs Showa added those little doors opening, Rider 1 never had it, 2 had it for years so technically Hongo took from Hayato after a few decades
>>78564900
Makes sense.
Decade and Diend still try to beat them up because of a hilarious misunderstanding.
>>78564859
I totally forgot about that thing.
>>78564958
Blue Superman was a weird concept but still made for some great moments in JLA at least.
>>78564966
>Heisei vs Showa added those little doors opening
That's what I just said.
>>78564925
You're thinking of KIT subs. They only got episode 42 of the original series, but since then they've subbed the entirety of Kamen Rider Stronger and they're working on Skyrider now.
>>78565009
I think MCS did the entirety of Stronger.

This can hardly be called Power Girl desu senpai.

>>78559521
Okay, I was going to watch Ninninger next, but I keep hearing it's shit. So I have to ask: HOW?
How can a series with a guy that transforms with a cheeseburger into a cowboy-ninja, fight with a guitar sword-gun and pilots a giant robot-bison can suck so much that I only hear negative things about it?
>>78566654
Apparently it's just really fucking boring. I haven't been keeping up with it though.
>>78566654
I watched the first 13 episodes. I wanted to enjoy it, but it was just really dull, and seemed like it was going to be red-heavy. Which I know is to be expected, but some handle it worse than others. Red was annoying too, which is a shame because the other cast members were pretty fun. Plus a particularly bad mecha design.
>>78563670
u knoe who needs a figuarts?
>>78557664
I like how you can see where the Tachibana Racing Club logo splits on half on this belt, but it's weird how the shape looks just like Black's belt. The old iconic oval shape looked way better. Really don't like the red lining on the legs instead of proper stripes, and the way the black knee-pads intrude on the boots is awful. Helmet looks great. Torso's okay, really not a fan of how the forearms are just painted green, I'd rather he wear the traditional forearm gloves or keep the whole arm black and just wear green motorcycle gloves.. Honestly it's just a decidedly worse version of The Next suit. There's been worse, there's been a lot better.
>>78564764
Doesn't exist anymore, they kitbashed it for a Den O movie villain along with the The Next V3 suit.
