God, why Western Sci-fi design in particular sucks so bad?
>>740140369>indestructible alien materials meticulously designed like muscle tissue to maximize strength and mobilityWhat sucks about it?
>>740140504Faiz is cooler
>>740140504>muscle tissueThen make something like Muscular from MHA.
>>740140369Why argue when you can have the best of both worlds
>>740140679Lmao
>>740140369Crysis armour is gross, but it's meant to be. I'd pit like Mass Effect N7 armour against the Vanquish DARPA suit or Strange Journey's UN tac gear.Which, JP still wins, but the trouble is both of those are meant to be western takes. I can't think of a lot of explicitly asian combat armour.
>>740140825That doesn't incorporate elements from either world, that's just paintballer/airsoft gear. This is the fusion you're looking for.
OH NO OH NO
>>740140369Faiz's design was a fluke.
>Japan combat armor
>>740140369>jap armor>is, le good?
>>740141261Yes.
>>740141261those suits look as though they really want to be mecha
>>740140952I would argue that Mjolnir Armor takes the "segmented armor pieces on a bodysuit base" like Riders have but then makes those pieces of plating thicker and more taticool as to show its modern western military inspired roots.Warframes however are another fantastic example of that but instead drawing more from Guyver derived media combined with western proportions and tone work.Warframe has however undergone the same detail creep as many long running Toku properties for all the good and bad that gives (pic rel being on the good side).
>>740140369need more dick in the west version
>>740140369Man, Faiz has my to favorite suits.
>>740140504The gaps between the muscles are a terrible idea. Things will get pinched between them. Hard things will get shattered by the indestructible muscles and send shrapnel flying everywhere. The wearer will gets caught on things when moving through confined spaces. There should be a smooth covering.
>>740141316VS are mechs not power armor
>>740141518Mechs are a form of power armor.
Since this thread is up I might as well ask, does anyone know of any media that has its primary focus being power armor but with mecha capabilities and design principles?Like a show about people in power armor that has the proportional capabilities and design of something akin to a Gundam?
Peaked combat armor
This Is one of the few instances were both suck
>>740140990>>740141105That's a fucking joke in the plot of the show it's in you retardIt's a knockoff made by corporate scumbagsAt the end of the movie he goes back to using the original suit and kills all the losers using the new stuffuse G6 and G7 if you want a valid complaint
>>740140369Right looks ugly as fuck.So does left, but it still looks far better than right.
>>740141572power armor is still armor, as in worn. Not ridden. Retard.
>>740141859It looks better in this pic where it implies that the undersuit is all black and makes the ugly grey pieces darker. It could've looked nice if they just made some tiny changes.
>>740140369
>>740142169Deranged, OCD+Autistic take.
>>740142171>>740141105the disc chestplate honestly ruins it
>>740140369Sorry, the West wins. Even Japan's recent Gundams are fucking ugly.
>>740142381You don't wear vehicles retard
>>740141812>If the host is unconscious, the suit goes into a self preservation mode where it kills everybodyGuyver was the coolest shit.
>>740142381We have had these kinds of discussion for years and the easy barrier is simple.If the primary hands your reach out to grab something with is your own hands then tis power armor.If the main hands you reach out to grab something with are the machines hands its a mech.
>>740142328apart from the gay blue abs, its pretty kino. please pursue costume design, anon
>>740142431We're not gonna shit on Gavv. It was actually a pretty dope show.
>>740142431>Snack based season has funky designs Filtered
>>740142407it opens up during pride month
>>740142615Nah fuck that shit. Director had no balls as usual. Should've killed the villains off sooner as planned.
Saber's suits would kick ass in a fantasy game.
>>740142705/krg/ pls go
>>740142725
>>740142779NO. Fuck is this Kamen Rider shit when 99% of the cast don't ride bikes. More like Kamen Runner. Fucking Bandai and shitty writers who can't write for shit, giving everyone a belt.
>>740142431>>740140369Jp actually knows how mechanical engineering works
>>740142906SEA hands typed this post.
>>740142996SEA loves tons of riders though, they forgot they ride bikes, what with all those cringe OC videos and pictures they make./krg/ can't handle these kinds of opinions.
>>740140369When I used to work out, my body was more like the left's than the right's. Muscle is mass; the more you have the more it bulges. Right is fantasy, left is realistic.
>>740142662NTA but just the fact that the various series to go so hard into gimmicks that it had a snack based series, instead of just letting the series stand of the merits of good writing and actual cool designs is an issue.If you need a themed gimmick to sell your show then you shouldn't make that show, and if your show doesn't need the gimmick to work then you better make sure the gimmick contributes to the identity of the show in positive ways.
Westerners are embarrassed by superhero costumes. They try to subdue it as much as possible.
>>740140369Is this the cool combat armor thread?
>>740143119You didn't watch the show.
>>740143356Story integration does not make up for the shit designs it produced as baggage.
>>740143203Why do they hate the trunks so much, bros?
>>740140504Because I'm a 14 year old autistic weeaboo that can't handle something being more popular than *thing I like*
>>740140504Roided out gorilla bodies stopped being considered the proper kind of cool for Main Characters after Die Hard came out and never truly regained their status.
>>740140504Looks lame
>>740140369>armor>most of it is just a skintight bodysuit, the only armor is on the head and torso, leaving vulnerable areas like the gut and groin completely unprotected
>mostly skintight but bulky where it's cool like the chest projector and the helmetthe advanced suit is probably my favorite sci-fi armor of all time and it's western so suck my cock you faggot
>>740140504It looks like an ape made out of george foreman grills.
>>740142328Looks like Guyver >>740141812Nice job, anon.
>>740140825>no plating around elbows shoulders pits neckbuilt for big elite cock to pierce
>>740143471They are intimidated.
>>740140369>Left : Gritty and pseudo realistic SF about a brutal alien invasion>Right : Whimsical SF for kids about a superheroStop being a manchild, OP.
>>740148278>he didn't watch globohomo corpo suffering kinoMan up anon and watch the hard stuff.
>>740141812I too was reminded of Guyver from the 'West' side of OP's image. Pecs energy cannon sure was a choice.Man. Things were better back then. When the edgiest thing you would see would be something like Guyver.
>>740146714There's only so much armor you can put on something before you hinder their mobility and flexibility, which is what spartans excel at.
>>740143471Why do you care so much about the trunk?
>>740143203
>>740148542spartans dont excel at shit but getting glassed
>>740142920>Left: over the top superhero>Right: astronaut themed SF action hero You guys will always make the most retarded comparison to push your "east vs west" narrative.
>>740148627why did they make it ugly and loose?
>>740148809Zack wanted the dark and griddy audience. Gunn was merely course correcting.
>>740148627I don't like both. One is basically tries too hard to be accurate so it slap the bodybuilder sculpt. The other is padded as shit, it looks like he wearing that foam they put in cardboard boxes.
>>740140369>>740140952>>740141365>>740141812Warframe personally hits the perfect spot for me. You've got so much options in terms of aesthetics where you are bound to find something you just adore.
>>740140369Because you're comparing western power armor to an enlarged eastern plastic toy. Pick a better example next time.t. don't even dislike KR/Tokusatsu (toddler-me loved Power Rangers)
>Eastern power armour incredibly slim, small, and fragile looking>Western power armour incredibly large, bulky, huge, impressive, intimidating aura.
Sorry but the west won this one
