>>80077186Tacticool rode the coattails of the Matrix and all its clones. It worked for Blade, it worked for X-men. Staying true to the comics worked for Spider-man and it did better than the others. Then again staying true to comic costumes in films with shit scripts (F4, Daredevil, Elektra) unsurpringly made for shit films with bad box office.
Calling tacticool proven is dumb. It needed to happen because black leather was visual-language for "cool action movie" and these fuckers had to do everything in their power to distance themselves from Schumacher's laughingstock. But Marvel could release Inhumans or Thor Frog with colorful costumes and they would still make bank. Rocket Raccoon is a household name, Iron Man (Not Spider-man, Not Wolverine) is the "face" of Marvel. They don't need black leather and guns to convince normies that comic book movie are cool.

Cause Wolverine: origins, The Wolverine, Wanted all did poorly financially. Critically its a lot bigger.
