Steve has a new costume for the modern era, and I like it a lot. What do you guys think?
To me, it looks a little unnatural. Something about the gloss makes it look like an action figure or a video game image. It doesn't look to me like leather, or Kevlar, or whatever an actual uniform would be made of. It ends up in uncanny valley territory, which is not a good place to go.
(I also reaaaally don't like the pouches, but that's minor in comparison.)
ETA: Whoops, never mind. I thought the image was a production still with a photoshopped background. However, I found a larger image, and it now looks to me like it's a painting, not a photograph. Cap's figure still looks a doll action figure, but I'll chalk that up to a defect in the painting, not the costume.
