Are X-Men Movie Costumes Really That Bad?

The X-Men costumes have historically had one of the worst reputations in the entire comic book movie canon. But is that really fair?
Sure, there’s been an awful lot of black leather, and black armour, but there’s also been way more creative and comic accurate costumes in the franchise than people give them credit for. There’s also something to be said for comic book accuracy in general. Is a costume bad just because it doesn’t resemble anything that came before? Doesn’t the tone, narrative and context to the moviemaking alter how these costumes should be considered?
And then on top of that there’s the Deadpool outfit. Pure unfiltered perfection.
I’m going to look through all of the assorted looks from both the X-Men and their villains. Where were they treated unfairly? Where were they treated more than fairly? Which costumes came close but missed the mark? Overall, are the X-Men costumes really that bad?

The reason Psylocke had the most accurate in the entire series is because Olivia Munn fought for it. Anybody younger than like 30 might not know/remember this, but she was famous for being a comic book/video game nerd before she became an actor. She said she'd only be Psylocke if she actually got to look like her.

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.

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.

Never had a strong opinion on the costumes themselves. But I remember around 2000 or so, I read something from the production team which took at as self-evident that audiences couldn't handle the comic costumes. And that was a problem for me. I think I felt a lot of projects were doing dumb things around that time, party because they were treating good ideas as off-limits based on unquestioned imaginings they have of the audience.

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.

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.

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.

They were purely thinking rule of badass with that one to the point where it blinded them, when Ryan Reynolds found out what Deadpool looked like in that movie he apparently tried telling the people behind it that the design was a bad idea and all the fans were going to freak out, the people making that version of Deadpool were so blind they apparently said “I know right!” In an excited tone like the fans we’re gonna be super excited to see their badass new interpretation of Deadpool

Thank you, for bringing up (albeit briefly) the Grant Morrison / Frank Quietly run on the New X-Men comics, which were being written and developed at the same time as the 2000 movie, and were released around the same period. One of the key reasons they chose the black leather suits for the movie, was because at that time that was the direction they were going in the comics! The movie costumer was trying to be as comics accurate as possible for the current comics era and time period.

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.

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).

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 think overall, all thing considered the Days of the Future past ones are the best ones, on a movie you need to ADAPT comic book suits. Big screen arent the comics and some people refuses to accept that, for example the MCU's infinity saga designs until Endgame are perfect translations of comic book designs to the big screen, they are grounded and believable but not too much, its a great balance. After Endgame they look just cartoonish, they are going full circle to Batman & Robin, after watching Love and Thunder, Quantumania, Guardians 3, the Marvels and others i thought of campyness, those movies look fake and campy, and its mostly cause the "comic accurate designs"

No matter how well spoken you describe the black outfits of the first 3 films, I will never like those outfit, never....only with the exception of Beast, all those outfit collectively sucks. First Class was a step in the right direction been more inspired by the classic yellow costumes, still not my favorites, but love Magneto grey helmet (that only need it color red and was PERFECT). Days of the future past is the only film that I actually like all the black costumes, because the details stand a long more, I agree on Wolverine, probably his single best costume in these films, and Magneto costume at the end was amazing. Apocalypse have some of my absolute favorite...and also hated costumes....Psylocke is as you said the second best costume ever put in these films, props to Olivia Munn for been the only women in a superhero film that was not afraid to WEAR A LEOTARD, seriously love that so much, and she was pitch perfect for Psylocke, is just sad she was portrait as a villain instead of a main X-Men. The costumes at the end are great most of them, Cyclops been my favorite of that group.......and Dark Phoenix..............that movie doesn't exist so. The Deadpool films are the best in term of costumes, and yes Deadpool is not only the best costume in the X-Men films.....is literally top 5 best costumes in ANY SUPER HERO FILM ever made, I love that costume so much and I hope when Deadpool 3 happen we get a Wolverine accurate costume finally.

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.

The problem with Wolverine leather suit is overdesign. Its black leather, but the yellow doesn't fit with the suit, and there are too many lines. Honestly they should have just done Wolverine's costume to look like regular people's clothes. Use the orange brown costume from evolution, and have a burnt umber jacket with a brown shirt underneath, or have the jacket be orange and brown. Dont overdesign the jacket, make it look a bit worn, have some burnt umber trousers, with brown boots, and a large belt. Distinctive while not looking too weird. I feel the rest of the x men should have had more classically colourful suits, with more heroic blues, reds and yellow/gold, before Wolverine getting a similar suit, with a cowl. Problem is the tone of Singers x men doesn't support colourful costumes. Its ironic because X men are supposed to represent hope for a better world, but got caught up in the cynical edginess of the 2000s

Also, I was never a fan of comic book Wolverine's original suit design. I always thought it looked way too unrealistic to be taken seriously.
