I remember hearing that at one point in the script for Logan, the beginning of the film was going to be the OG X-Men cast in the colorful and classic style suits. The scene was them getting ready to go out for a mission and Charles has his first seizure/episode, killing the entire team except for Logan because of his healing factor. Its a shame we did not get to see this or something like it in the film. Logan obviously worked without it, but boy would it have been awesome to see.

The problem with the X-Men movie costumes isn't that they are bad, it's that they are just dull and unimaginative. While I understand that in the year 2000, black leather was all the rage, they could have slowly introduced the comic-accurate costumes as time went on. The Raimi Spider-Man suit from the year 2002 was almost identical to the comic books, so I don't buy the idea that audiences wouldn't take the comic-accurate suits seriously. I'm not saying that the suits should have been exact replicas of the comics but they should have at least been somewhat similar with a more mature aesthetic. Just look at Captain America's suit in Avengers Endgame. It's not exactly comic-accurate but it's close enough with some modernized stylistic elements that make it fit the world it belongs to without looking goofy.

For the first one i think it make sense to wear all black because most of the mission are covert operations, but they should've gradually turned into more expressive suit for branding for the public that they're peacekeepers and heroes. I like the logic in Astonishing X-men. They went from black outfits and back as superhero costume to show the public that they're superheroes, not some random dangerous mutants. X-Men : Dark Phoenix however showed us that the blue and yellow costume the blandest way possible and then they're back in their civil clothes in the end.

You really just completely skipped over Negasonic's outfit in Deadpool 2. The best X-Men outfit ever put to screen.

You say the black leather was necessary for the time it came out, but Spider-Man came out only 2 years later with a full comic book accurate costume and it was glorious for the time. I think had they gone with a more colourful comic accurate style it would have been fine.

I pretty much agree with everything you said in this video. I’m 45 yrs old. I grew up on the ‘80’s & ‘90’s versions of comics characters and their looks. However, I never disliked the black leather. I thought, at worst, it was fine. I’ve always believed that people crying out for “comic book accuracy “ on costumes were ridiculous. That works on a page or in a cartoon, but having real people dress that way is absurd (looking). Also, not appropriate “ in world”. As Professor X said most characters are not genetically mutated to withstand g-force or bullets or lasers, etc. , so wearing their comic book look isn’t as helpful as leather. And as far as Deadpool’s costume is concerned whether we like it or not doesn’t matter as much. It makes sense for that character to dress like he did on the page. We have to remember there’s a big time/ technological difference between movies before 2005 and movies after 2015.

Great video. Apocalypse is such a tease with those Danger Room costumes and Psylocke's outfit. Honestly, more so given her friendship with Ryan Reynolds, Olivia Munn would've fit more in the Deadpool corner of the X-Men films than in Apocalypse.

I really don't like the costume choice in the first X-Men. You mention that the idea of friendly heroes in bright costumes rescuing cats from trees is not a thing, but remember Charles is meant to be striving for acceptance, and yet he chooses to dress his personal army of extremely powerful meta-humans in something that wouldn't look out of place on any fascistic secret police force. Especially given his history with Eric, and Eric's own history with fascists, it just seems like an incredibly poor choice. Optics are always important, and what kind of first impression was he going for here? There's a reason why Blade and Batman wear black, and it's not to instil a feeling of humanity or kindness. The costumes are not _bad_, in that they are very well designed and likely met the brief that was given, I just don't think that "darkly menacing" is the look that Charles would have been going for.

I get the whole bit explaining that these X-Men work in the Shadows, so suits like Raimi's Spider-Man wouldn't really fit with the tone of those movies. But my main gripe is that I feel like we've had suits for the X-Men in the past that I think pulled of the compromise of individuality, but still being more or less uniform. My personal favorite of that genre of suits being the ones in X-Men Evolution. I could see those suits all being worked from the same base, but allowed each Mutant to have input on the suit's design, either to accommodate their powers, or for their own flare.

Hey I'm working on an xmen timeline continuity series and having issues getting footage. How do you get it without the capture software blocking it??

The leather suits were interesting. I didn't hate them, but I hope to see the X-Men wearing their costumes in the MCU. Now I really need to rewatch the X-men films again. Deadpool's suit is still the best!

I actually like the black leather suits in the original x-men movies. I'm not a huge fan of cartoon-ish colorful costumes. Best example of that being the most recent Hawkeye costume in the Hawkeye series. I thought his costume looked ridiculous.

DoFP’s Magneto imo is one of his worst looks. As a professional costume designer, when we use armor it’s to define silhouette. Here the armour looks incredibly flat, and not at all incorporated into his suit, it’s just plates plates on his torso and nothing else. If he had gauntlets or even some kind of armoured callback at his boots it would help tremendously. Here it looks tacked on and ill fitting. Apocalypse and his look at the end of First Class are imo peak Magneto. The apocalypse suit is quite loaded but it works as a Horseman armor.

I’m kind of surprised you didn’t mention Nightcrawler’s outfit from the X-Men 3 video game. I love his outfit in that one. He wears a suit similar to what was shown in the first 3 films but also wears a tench coat with a crucifix chain added to his belt and pants. It also featured some interesting looking designs on his costume as well. It is basically what he would had looked like had he actually been in The Last Stand. But the reason why Alan Cummings didn’t return was because they would have given him a small role and he didn’t want to be in the outfit and makeup for long periods of time, especially given that he wouldn’t had been in the movie too much. Which is a huge shame since I really liked the costume they gave Nightcrawler in the game. But I also liked Beast and Colossus’ outfits in The Last Stand. The latter had no sleeves and the former had some really cool color schemes added while still retaining the leather look. For Rogue, she had long sleeved gloves.

Paramedic outfits are utilitarian, but they're not black leather. The X-Men are meant to be a force for good, so they shouldn't turn up looking like they're going to beat you up and steal your wallet. Adding some colour doesn't detract from utilitarianism and the costumes should fit their goals, which as far as I remember, didn't include intimidating everyone who sees them (if that was Charles' desire, he wouldn't need to use scary costumes, he could just brainwash all of humanity).

I’ve always been *OBSESSED* with Storm’s cape. I’m so glad they were able to at least make it accurate within the limits of the OG trilogy design.

Nice work man, I've never really cared about the X-men costumes in the films because I like the films regardless and the outfits never felt that intrusive to me but I respect the work you've put in here. However I have had, nor will never have a need to see Wolverine in yellow/gold or beige/brown spandex. I didn't even like it in the comics. He's the least narcissistic comic book character who doesn't see himself a symbol for anything so I feel the street clothes look of jeans, John McClaine vest, leather jacket and the gaudy shirts of a guy who's only fashion style belongs to the 70's makes perfect sense to the character. So when he inevitably turns up in Marvel... stuff trailers in yellow body armour it won't entice me to the cinema.

No love for Domino? Also I thought Catwoman's costume was universally agreed to be a hit haha.

Wish you talked about the First Class post credit scene Magneto costume as well. The metallic purple and red was comic accurate…but a bit “cheap” looking. Would have loved a hybrid of that and Days of Future past.

The movie is set in the 60s it makes sense Magneto wears his 60s style costume.

Storms costumes in the 1st trilogy really worked

I feel like a adaption of X-men evolution’s costumes could work rather well they’re unified enough to show they’re a team but with a individually to where they’re not all the same.

Black leather is fine I just don't like when they all have same outfit. No matter how it looks.

I say after Sam Raimi Spiderman they had the opportunity to introduce them in slowly and they didnt,and after the MCU explosion in accurate costumes The Fox Xmen Costumes continued to feel like they weren't willing to accurately show both the heroes and the Suits they wear. I stand by the idea that the 90s Jim Lee Era Xmen costumes are among the 4 most Iconic Superhero Teams behind Justice League and the Avengers and sitting above the Teen Titans.

Exactly you just stop running out of excuses when everyone else is committing the source and making millions. To me though the costumes weren’t the problem it was how they treated the characters not named Logan or Mystique. Gambit, Rogue, Storm and Jubilee are my absolute favourite X-Men and they wasted and ruined by these movies.

The X-Men are the one thing I look forward to seeing in the MCU alone. My concern is will Marvel pull it off? Will it suffer from the same tropes they need to break away from? The MCU has so much going on with the multiverse and all these new characters being introduced that I don’t know where the hell mutants fit in. I guess Phases 7 or 8 is when we could see them and those could be the Mutant Saga. I’m cautiously optimistic they’ll pull it off but I’m not sure.

If Guardians 3 wasn’t fantastic I’d be worried they just need to focus on telling good stories and giving the characters justice.

One of the biggest disappointments for me was the Phoenix in The Last Stand. Apparently there was some red in her costume but so muted that I never noticed, and her look in both light and dark version is meant to be flashy. Of course, that was on a par with how poorly the character was treated in that movie in general - hey, let's not only cram the entire saga into one movie, let's only give it half a movie and cram another storyline in there with it - yeah, that'll work! 🙄

Those suit from First Class were awesome bro

Didn't mention the Weapon-X outfit. The underwear , the gears and the helmet. can't get more accurate than that.

The did 2 important things. They got the characters personalities and general traits, the thing that makes them them, mostly right (a few questionable odd balls here and there, none of them major characters as far as I remember). And they did count on the idea of uniforms. They were just more in tune with trends/proven trends of their time, like the blade redesign. But they still went for a comics uniform vibe, just not the usual 616 vibe.

Interesting blog and on the most part I agree with the observations of the designs, keeping in mind the time they were made and where superhero movies were at that point.

If Marvel doesn’t let Hugh wear that yellow suit in Deadpool 3 I’m gonna be so ticked off especially when he’s gonna be alongside Deadpool in the perfect live action suit for him

in my personal opinion as a long time X-men fan. comic accuracy doesn’t make or break a story. but when you’re dealing with a team so colorful and diverse and that being a huge part of what made them unique? yes. it’s almost egregious how many times they looked bland and colorless. the minor accents did absolutely nothing for me. studios messed up by thinking the team needed to look almost identical with suit designs. the x-men are wacky mutants in a wacky and oppressive world.. in the comic stories its like them showing up and saying “here we are and we aren’t afraid of you, we will be the object of attention where you like it or not” Alex Ross’ designs for the first x-men film(while never shown in practice) were much more faithful and still practical. luckily the mcu will finally give me what i’ve wanted since i was a kid. i can appreciate the older suits ever so slightly because they did let Kevin know that the fans wanted accuracy, but i’ll never forgive them for the mistakes and missteps they took. Deadpool is the shining exception and as someone who doesn’t really like deadpool it still made me happy that they stuck to their guns and delivered. anyways this was a great video! it’s interesting to look back 2 decades to see where we’ve ended up.

It is great they are made of leather, but some x-suits requiere another design. The leather is great, I wish It never fades away

The black leather suits were actually sick

Imo Magneto, both Sir Ian Mc Kellen 's and Fassbender' s versions of the character had the best and most comic book accurate costumes

Had me hooked this whole video, great content

Awesome, thank you!

All this black leather and they never tried the punk storm outfit

When they come to the mcu properly there'll be a joke where they open a case full of black leather suites and one of them says he'll no we ain't wearing this

My whole thing with the first point is that, yes, they fit the movies, but that should be more of a statement on the quality of the movies themselves. They aren't good or faithful adaptations of the comics which is a problem indicative of the whole trilogy at large. Singer doesn't take the source material seriously enough to adapt it faithfully, so he shouldn't be adapting it at all.

In my humble opinion I've never disliked any of the x men movie designs, Yes even the dark Phoenix designs

The dark phoenix costumes look really cheap to me

Anyone knows where i can get those jackets???

The leather costumes were never bad, it just seemed disingenuous that they chose the black outfits *to spite* the comic designs.

Honestly a great recommended video and also a video style that I'm interested in, I love analysis of hero uniforms. Mainly the X-Men.

Look I don’t mind the black leather but I WISH they should’ve gave them more color and style as well as armour and safety

I love the costume content. Glad that we had gone so far from the black leather times.

For better or for worse, I'll always prefer the X-Men movies over the MCU Even the bad ones have something else to offer, something better than the MCU

Sorry but disagree so hard, no matter how formulaic the MCU gets *IT FUCKING CARES ABOUT THE CHARACTERS* these movies do not. Look at how Rogue, Storm and Cyclops were treated that’s almost a hate crime it’s so insulting. All the excuses I hear for it are “Can’t get everything” right. Yes Wolverine, Charles, Erik and JLaw’s Mystique got love but that’s 90% star power. Yes these movies here I love, but treating them overall like they were better than the MCU is bs I’m sorry.

The reason Deadpool's outfit is best is because it's so freaking comic accurate while still not being cheesy. Movie studios.. come on?! No reason for amazing characters like Storm Cyk and others to have that same costume treatment.

They were basically the Tron suits, but desaturated with no lights.

Dark Phoenix costumes literally look like they're in Star Trek the Next Generation or something.

It's interesting seeing concept art of X-men apocalypse where it's Elle fanning playing jean grey

There were some characters that i feel like fit that black leather costumes from the first 2 X-men movies. I felt like Cyclops for example looked great in it especially with the trench coat. It would make sense for Cyclops since he is such a stern leader it would make sense if he kept the same uniform but with like blue lines all around instead of just pure black. The others really didn’t look good on them. Wolverine although he’s my favorite and the suit grew on me i feel like they shouldn’t have given him that suit and just kept him and jeans and a jacket to keep him as a rebel if they didn’t want to give him the comicbook suit.
