However, they could easily have done the same thing with numerous characters that they did for both Spider-man and black panther in Civil war. remember alot of it was CGI, therefore it looked great. the first batch of X films, they could have easily made something semi similar to the comic outfits.

hell look at netflix Daredevil. it's not identical to the comic look however it is VERY close and doable. Deadpool looked AMAZING and exactly like his comic appearance.

I guess depending on what characters really.

I might be in the minority in thinking this, but I thought the CGI suit for Spider-Man looked like **** in Civil War. It was, and still is one of my biggest gripes of the whole film. It was really jarring to look at, as it didn't do a very good job of transferring facial features underneath the mask. People have lips and noses, and unless they have nose holes, masks tend to stretch when people speak or breathe, and no amount of CG magic made that work for Spidey in Civil War. If you look carefully in certain spots, you'll see the web pattern on his costume actually moving due to CG limitations, and whenever they showed Spidey talking, it looked really unnatural and I felt as if I was watching a really intricate PS4 cinematic. Hopefully this will be fixed in Homecoming, as set pictures are actually showing Tom Holland wearing a physical Spider-Man costume this time around.

Black Panther on the other hand, looked a lot better, but I think a large majority of that was due to the fact that the costume itself is black, therefore is a bit easier to shadow, and hide the smaller details.

Male characters in general are a bit easier to transfer onto the big screen than female characters due to the looks and politics of them...but even then, sometimes things need to be changed regardless because again, they just don't translate all that well. A great example would be the Judge Dredd costume. For all intents and purposes, Stallone's costume was actually more accurate (despite the cod piece) to the books than Karl Urban's was, but I think most of us would agree that if we were to remove the characters from the film, Urban's costume is actually better than the more book accurate version. And it's because it still pays homage to the original look, while making practical changes for the big screen and modern audiences. The Netflix MCU shows have absolutely nailed this aspect, as well as Flash and Arrow...

People can say what they want about the DC Murderverse, but I think Snyder has also done a fantastic job with this aspect, both with Watchmen and his DC films. If only the films could match up with his eye for gorgeous looking superhero duds...

@Dr Kain:

As for why would Mystique not wear clothes and be naked all the time, think about it...if you could shapeshift, and form clothing as well, why would you wear clothes to begin with? They would just get in the way of your natural abilities. Doesn't make sense for someone like Mystique, who used her ability often for infiltration and deception, often changing from male to female in the blink of an eye. Would be kinda hard for her to pass as a male police officer in a moment's notice if she happened to leave the house that morning wearing a pretty sundress and a pair of sandals.

It was one of the things that Peter Parker also loved most about his symbiotic costume when he had it. He never needed to keep a spare set of clothes webbed up somewhere or wear his costume underneath his civilian duds, allowing him to change as needed on the fly.
