X-Men First Class and Apocalypse really took steps in the right direction.

The funny thing about that movie was that they said the dark leather was more realistic, but it's really not. Would get way too hot fighting in those. And as revealed in the BTS, the actors couldn't even jump over a tiny wall on Ellis Island due to their restrictiveness.

Sure, it took going through the 'motorcycle leathers' phase to get there, but I can guarantee that putting them all in shiny spandex would've resulted in a full stop by comparison.

Not to mention, spandex does nothing for protection in a realistic sense, and only really works as a costume element for runners and acrobatic characters. Anyone remember how often Spidey's costume used to get ripped up back in the old comics? Because that's what spandex does. Impractical in a fight, and impractical on film.

If you look at cosplayers at Comic Con, there are very few that wear spandex that actually look good. The majority of them just look cheap.

They could just use hellcats body with red hands and feet and new head. Viola issue solved. ;)

Well this is super annoying. For some reason FedEx has handed my Mary Jane pack to the post office, so now instead of being delivered tomorrow as the date original said, they say it will be delivered by the end of the week. WTF? I'm not even going to be home for the entire week after tomorrow. Why would they give it to the post office to deliver instead of them like it originally stated?

See its simple folks. For the lower legs were they painted or did you use spider womans?

I also remember the changeover to that look in the comics, and how in Astonishing X-Men they switched back to more traditional looks, and Wolverine or cyclops or somebody commenting how the Leather look was freaking people out. Sorry to get us on this topic, I just watched the original X-Men trilogy yesterday for the first time in a few years so it's all fresh in my mind.

Most places that give free shipping through Fed Ex send it parcel post, meaning most of the time, Fed Ex will drop the package off with your local post office for the final delivery. Allows them to ship it cheaper.

So did that happen before or after the first movie?

It was about a year after. Definitely designs inspired by the movie designs.

But I can totally take a photo of the costume itself later.

Let's not forget that they wore latex in Ultimate X-Men, something that Spider-Man definitely made note of during his run ins with the teen X-ladies. VERY impractical...
