I agree with this, especially for character like Spiderman

Besides slight color changes Tobey basically had the same suit for 3 movies and it still looks iconic.

I get they need to sell toys but eventually it gets tiring.

You know you’re allowed to crop a screenshot right?

Do you know how to do that?

lifesyndrom2025-11-26 22:13

Oh I know…I just didn’t wanna do it

Even lazier reposting

Idk I think part of the fun is getting excited to see the characters’ new looks

EarthboundMan52025-11-26 22:10

I sorta disagree. I like being able to look at an image of a character and immediately know which movie it's from.

I’d be 100% on bored with the classic suit being the starting and ending suit every movie.

The hero with the most famous alternative looks is Spider-Man. Name another hero with as iconic of another look from the Black suit specifically. Then there is Future foundation, Man-Spider, Scarlet Spider, Iron Spider, Spider-Armor, etc.

Peter’s thing is adjusting his suit for whatever threat he’s fighting or group he’s assisting. I’m even cool with minor upgrades to the classic suit like his web shooters or utility belt.

The costumes have generally been related to an evolution of the character.

So, nope.

Tornado316192025-11-26 22:11

The thing is, the costume changes allow them to sell *new* toys.

lifesyndrom2025-11-26 22:15

Oh I’m not saying they should never upgrade, I’m just saying it doesn’t have to be every single appearance they make. I understand for characters like iron man and BP, cuz upgrading is part of their character.

It has nothing to do with storytelling. They make a huge amount of money from selling the new thing each movie.

Blame the rabid toy collectors (and resellers) that enable this market to happen. Or, blame George Lucas for starting the trend

Disney has an entire revenue stream from merch. Maybe it does go back to Star Wars, but a good chunk of little girls whose parents buy them Disney Princess toys have probably never even watched half the films they’re in.

Lord_Phoenix952025-11-26 22:15

The only character I disagree with this about is Iron Man, I mean he's dead now but still, his character invents new suits to deal with certain scenarios.

Officer4452025-11-26 22:22

You’re not the demographic they’re selling toys too. It’s the little kids that go to the store with their parents and see the flashy new superhero with the ‘upgraded’ suit from the movie they just watched 500 times on Disney plus. The suit change is a vital marketing strategy to Disney’s business model. It’s the same reason that princesses get new dresses in sequels or characters get new outfits in new seasons of tv shows. It’s ALL about the toys.

Who wants more of the same toy? The idea is that they aren't the same

Teamawesome20142025-11-26 22:25

Nah, the new suits reflect changes in the character between movies and also reflects the history of comics.

The Iron Man suit changed every movie because Tony was always innovating. Spider-man's suit changes have the same reasoning behind it. Cap's suit changes reflect the resources that he has access to and who he is alligned with at any given time. Sam Wilson's suit changes reflect the character rebranding himself to the public (or getting rid of the cowl/headpiece). Each character's costume changes represent something in the story, even if it isn't directly stated on screen.

I couldn't careless as long as they're not major downgrade like Bue Thor
