Let's face it, it makes more sense than chain mail or no armor at all.

Personally, I'm not sure what you're seeing about the movie outfit that's so drastically out of touch with the period. Helmet? Check. Web gear? Check. Baggy pants? Check. Combat Boots? Check. About the only thing that looks potentially "out of period" is the upper chest portion of the costume, and even that's not exactly Iron Man level tech.

When I say real world you know what I mean. And just to make sure, I mean, a world in which comics are relatable to fans of all walks and not just fan boys. We suspend our believe for a lot of reasons in a lot of films. But when you're taking a premiss as outlandish as comic book super heros in spandex, a few tweaks are expected.

I have no problem with this. I support this mind set completely. Of course the degree of changes is subject to ones personal opinion. Something I'm just going to apologize for expressing since it's obvious none of you seem to understand my points or opinions, let alone agree with me on any level. It's almost as if you guys are insulted by me having an opinion.

What I'm saying is that I don't like it as much as the Ultimate outfit and since the Ultimate outfit is realistic, does correspond with the period, and war this film is taking place in. I don't think it would be a bad idea to include it in the movie. Sure the outfit in the images we are discussing could work. Thats fine and a perfectly respectable opinion. BUT I DON"T LIKE IT. IS THAT OK?
