Top Gun, Ferris Bueller's Day Off, Platoon,

I watched this for Film Studies and chose it to write a Scene Analysis on.

I really liked it! This war on Noir is in shambles

Of course you did. It's awesome.

Which scene did you choose?

[Kid Impulse]

I love Bachalo's art. It's rare for him to do something I don't like, but Magneto's abs are ridiculous in that cover. How old is he supposed to be at the moment?

Also, where the heck is Danger?

[Kid Impulse]

I was born in the year of Ghost and Goodfellas

I nearly went for Kindergarten Cop.

[Kid Impulse]

I should have seen that coming. But I think black is too overused a color with creating costumes these days.

I know, right?

[Songbird/Diamondback]

I know, right?

That is a better costume, though we still have a lot of dark blues and reds going around.

So, you don't like black costumes, and you don't like costumes with primary colours?

Are you a big fan of the classic green/purple villain look?

Taking the Avengers for example, because it's Marvel's biggest thing at the moment, I'm looking at the covers for #1 -3 and the majority of the characters have colourful costumes (Cap, Spider-Man, Spider-Woman, Captain Marvel, Falcon, Wolverine and Cannonball. Even Thor has a GIANT RED CAPE)

Then if we go to the X-Men side of things, two of the biggest things on their side look like this



and this



Heck, look at the Mike Allred issue that you hated, that one of the most vibrant comics in years.

Oh, one more. Marvel's most critically acclaimed comic?

Continued from my last post.

DC's biggest news at the moment in Justice League of America, which looks like this.



Yeah, there's some black there, but if you ignore the THIEF, SPY and NINJA who have no business being bright, then you've got a pretty colourful team of greens, golds and blues.

I won't go on anymore, but I will just mention how the Green Lantern franchise for the past five years has literally been about all the colours of the rainbow.

[aNamored]

I was born in the year of Alien. Which explains why I look like a phallus.

LOL.

I called the Giger Alien 'Peanut Head'....

[aNamored]

I know, right?

That looks like navy blue to me. I like that redesign myself, but I tend to enjoy most costume designs.

[Kerny]

Of course you did. It's awesome.

Which scene did you choose?

the intro up to where Eddie Dane first looks up and glares up at Tom

Still seems to be a lot of the same colors. In fact, look at Avengers Assemble promo shot for the cartoon. Dem muted colors.

Again, why does everything look so grimy and muted?

I don't understand how this is a criticism. Do you look at old Stan and Jack FF's and go 'Oh no, there's too much blue going on here?'

If you don't want to see a lot of red, blue, yellow, green and black, I don't know what else you're after. Can you give me an example, because I'm at a loss.

In fact, look at Avengers Assemble promo shot for the cartoon. Dem muted colors.

This is another tangent. None of the Marvel images I posted have muted colours though. Immonen's new colourist has been criticized for going too heavy with the colours and Wolverine and the X-Men and Daredevil are two of the most colourful books Marvel publish.

Again, why does everything look so grimy and muted?

As Kerny said, David Finch. The point wasn't whether it was grimy and muted though, the point was that there's too much black in modern superhero costumes, which I've pointed out with evidence, isn't the case.
