>>105127863>Why is M2 and M1 so drastically differentDifferent directors with different intents. (snyder wanted gritty realistic armor, wan wanted comic faithful colorfulness)
>and how did they improve it so much?It wasn't a huge improvement. Both have their pros and cons.
M2 has better color, cleavage & arguably the simplicity is better but M1's headpiece and overall materials are vastly better,
The octagon patter on M2 is cheap and flat looking, the sharp scales on M1 or on Wan's Aquaman outfit are much more artfully crafted and authentic looking.
