Just as DC lost me with their "New 52" reimagining of classic characters, I cannot abide how Marvel has now stumbled down that same path with their live-action movie character designs. (And actually, even their cartoon portrayals have followed suit.)

I know this is all market driven. I can sorta see how Batman or Iron Man MIGHT have specialized outfits, but multiple Spider-Man suits are needless & silly...much less "tech suits" courtesy of Tony Stark. Seems like each time I see Captain America again he's wearing YET ANOTHER outfit..."the better to sell more action figures, my dear."

And please don't tell me how "kids these days are just too sophisticated to see Thor with long, blond, hippie hair...wearing a winged helmet...and speaking like Shakespeare!" Now he's indistinguishable from some professional wrestler. No one would buy spandex outfits; dress every character in leather...and masks are just plain silly!

Marvel & DC movies both seem determined to appeal to 10yo kids who are most interested in watching superheroes beat each other up.

And IMO this Infinity War movie has such a profusion of super heroes in it, the question is begged: Are there any regular humans anymore?
