Comics are silly.

But silliness is important in life. Without any silliness life isn't worth living.

>there were FOUR Christopher Reeve Superman movies made in 10 years where zero "underwear on the outside" jokes are cracked
>meanwhile comic book movie writers today if they can't shit on the source material they signed up to adapt with smug superiority every 5 minutes

Thats why James Gunn is a really bad pick for all this because his sense of humor has always been subversion and mockery. When he tries to be 'sincere' like in gotg3 it just feels like baby shit. In most of his Superman movie Clark is whining at people and its wanting to make you side with him by posing that as relatable and humble. But he just comes off as a baby too.

>>154083853
it does make sense you are pretending not to understand to make a point and pose yourself as superior. Now go ahead and double down and lash out at me.

>>154083867
comics are silly but the tradition of underwear over the spandex is a direct reference to body builders and heavy lifters its really not that silly.

How will the audience know something is silly, if they don't point it out to us all the time?

Circus strongmen actually.
It's just a hold over from the past that everyone keeps doing but doesn't know why.
Like why women's blouses are buttoned opposite to men, or the little pockets on bluejeans.

If he was gonna do this, why include them? Just for that joke? Just give him a red belt and a yellow belt buckle and call it a day.

That and unitards are really fucking lame.

I really wish super hero movies finally stopped trying to be guardians of the galaxy, when guardians of the galaxy do the funny bits it's funny because it's the guardians of the galaxy, they are funny, but when batman starts twerking or superman goes KAWABUNGA DUDE LOL 420! it's not funny, it's just cringe.

They are which is why Batman never does it. They don't want to risk their golden goose looking stupid.

It's more about superman is apparently an unashamed power fantasy.
Part of that power fantasy is wearing the superman getup and being so powerful that no one dares make fun of it.

It has been 12 years and we still aren’t free of that fucking movie

this from the flick where they explicitly and gleefully murder bibi

Honestly if they're going to keep adapting Superman origin stories, then they can include one (1) scene where the circus comes to Smallville and a young Clark thinks the strongmen are the coolest shit ever, which leads to him wanting the suit to look like that when he becomes Superman.
Either that or start poaching costume designers from pro wrestling companies, because they're the closest present day descendant to carny gimmicks.

This, they've really gotta slow down and take a few minutes out to explain this convoluted bit of lore. One that's not canon or anything, but explains the history of superhero costuming and how it came to be. Maybe another few minutes for the hero's journey, Joseph Campbell and such. At *least* an act on the concept of the Übermensch and Nietzschean existentialism.

>>154083840
This is such a nothing thing to be angry about, and the outrage over it on 4chins is so performative and faggy. I'm so fucking tired of you people.

When women had other women as dressers facing them
>or the little pockets on bluejeans.
Coins and keys
Look I get that zoomers' brains being 50% microplastics, you all assume everyone is as incurious and retarded as yourselves but do a better job of being quiet about it

GotG could do it because the entire premise was "we don't actually deserve a movie about us" which thankfully was in line with Bill Mantlo's take

gunn making a joke about it for boomers is performative.
>>
>>154083867
Having silly moment ain't the same as making fun of the entire concept of comic books. And James Gunn only has one single character and this character is never like the character he's meant to adapt.

>>154084086
The Gotg aren't like this in the OG source.
