Controversial Sci-Fi Costumes We’ll Never Forget

[@WieldingEminator]

High heels don't work in grassy areas; the argument of the high heels being effective in "Jurassic World" is laughable.

[@SquirrelGamez]

Especially when the "argument" that they do work is when she runs on asphalt...

[@thrrax]

No, you can't run in high heels through rough terrain, like jungle vines and stones. And in the scene where she runs from the Indominus Rex or whatever, you can see that in the fast shots she's wearing much more comfortable footwear, of the same color as her high heel shoes. You can't run that fast with heel down on hard terrain, no matter how trained you are. The heels will snap and your feet will suffer. The shots in which she is in high heels were mostly in slo-mo, to hide the fact that she wasn't running very fast, and the dinosaur was CGI anyway, so you couldn't scale her actual speed in report to the dino's. She was also filmed mostly from the front, so it was easier to hide the fact that she wasn't wearing high heels. Not to mention the fact hat they wouldn't have risked having one of the main actors suffer an injury by constantly making them run in high heels. That whole shtick of her being able to run in high heels was just Mary Sue fiction bullshit.

[@donaldduck830]

Fun fact though: When Pamela Anderson was doing "VIP" she did a lot of running in high heels. Even climbing and uneven terrain. She was remarkably fit, but could only do it because she was also a producer and everybody else was afraid that she would twist an ankle and delay production, but everything was fine. A very rare exception to the rule.

[@lordofpain3476]

I hate to break it to your " modern " sensibilities , but if fans have loved a character for decades then all of a sudden some yahoo comes along and makes drastic changes to that character......... it's nott sexism , or racism or any other of your favorite buzz words ... It's LOYALTY to the character . If you want certain traits and sensibilities in a character , then write a new character that has the traits that you want , DON'T warp a classic character that has existed longer than you have. And another thing , STOP insulting fans for wanting the characters that they love to remain the same.

[@donaldduck830]

Yeah. They criticized Daniel Bruhl for portraying a more serious Zemo, that is fine. Criticizing certain other people though is forbidden. Just like in middle east politics in the real world. Many people can only survive with double standards, cause they don't measure up.

[@deanc4088]

Loyalty to a fictional character is childish. And perhaps watching the whole thing instead of assuming it's contents by the title.

[@donaldduck830]

@@deanc4088 The whole point is that if you have a Captain America that is not the dude who tried and retried to enlist, but then got in on the strength of his character (cf Rodger Young). Then he gets the serum and becomes a great soldier. Having a wimp as Cap is like having a cowardly, weak, non-flying Superman who needs the glasses. Same with all the chars above. From char 1 (Leeloo and the "thermal bandages" through the end). The controversy comes from people like you who got no clue. I suggest you either invent your own or something, but you should definitely shut up about stuff you got no clue on.

[@WolfhoundPilot]

@@deanc4088 If loyalty to a fictional character is childish then the insistence that a fictional character be altered for your acceptance is just as childish. If legacy characters aren't up to your humble standards why can't film makers create new characters for a new audience?

[@GizmoFromPizmo]

_The Fifth Element_ was the GREATEST SciFi movie EVER... Except for maybe _Forbidden Planet._ I mean, _The Fifth Element_ had deserts, space travel, city traffic, etc. It hit so many SciFi beats and tied them in so perfectly.

[@demoscat]

If we're being entirely logical, people are--queue shock and surprise from overly sensitive critics--born naked. Same for Leeloo. The movie makers would have been justified if reconstructed Leeloo stayed naked in the surgery tube the entire time, as she was in the first few seconds, and remained naked until after breaking out. At that point, she could have stolen someone's clothes. Imagine the general who wanted souvenir pictures being striped down to his undies. But, they didn't want to make that kind of movie, so I thought the "thermal bandages" idea was a good compromise on the question of clothes vs. no clothes.

Accusing fans of being racist or homophobic because they do not enjoy gender-swapped / race swapped characters because the creatives don't know how to be creative anymore and come up with their own unique, brand new character to fit the race they want.... this is the real crime. I would argue that the person that did this video or wrote the script is projecting their own insecurities and or frustrations on all of us who enjoy things from a much more original character point of view. I know nothing about the actress who did Starfire and if she had done a character that she better represented, I have no issue with it. None at all. But Starfire already has the interesting skin color, primarily orange of some shade and, once again, to accuse people of being racist because we don't agree with the social Dei agenda being shoved down our throats to satisfy some checkbox somewhere is garbage.

[@DavidAnderson-m5c]

The criticisms about Starfire's casting and costuming are absolutely legitimate. SlashFilm's remarks (as you've pointed out) are not.

[@rndmevil]

@@DavidAnderson-m5c Agreed. My complaint regarding Starfire wasn't that they had cast the beautiful Anna Diop, but that after casting a young black actress, they immediately dressed her in a cliched street corner hooker costume straight out of a 70s blacksploitation film. The stylistic choice was not only grossly inaccurate, but felt subtlety racist in itself.

Noticed how criticizing Daniel Bruhl for portraying a more serious Zemo is fine though? He may be bashed without reasons even. Buy oy vey when you criticize the wrong folk....

[@carmiethompson2676]

@@donaldduck830 What culture are they appropriating? White, Black etc. isn't cultural, it's race. Forget about that. I'd focus on the lazy writing. These superhero movies relied on the legacy of stories of many past decades. If the character is White, like Cat Woman so what! If the character is Black like Blade, fine! Give me & the audience a rational plot, an interesting storyline & Actors/Actresses who want to be on set giving it their all. Don't race swap!

[@donaldduck830]

@@carmiethompson2676 I am just parroting the woke culture crap. Imo, if you have a good actor, they can play any (ANY!!!) character. I had seen half a dozen movies with Robert Duvall in the lead before i recognized that it was always the same guy. The "colored" actor who played the boss in "Scarecrow and Mrs King" portrayed the albino in "the Princess Bride" and I only know that due to the name in the cast list. If Halle Berry could act, she could have done a good catwoman. But she could only do a catwoman in a superskimpy costume, Password Swordfish by baring her upper half and got an Academy Award for going all the way. And that is the difference in that regard. And the dude who did "the Falcon" is a microcephalic moron who should not even park cars at a decent hotel. He ain't got the physique nor the presence. A young Denzel Washington would have been able to do it. Wesley Snipes is an action star. But that dude as Cap is an insult to America.

[@KittenKatja]

It's true, the primary function of armor is protection. However, the Roman Empire made muscle shaped chest plate armor, increasing decoration and severely decreasing its protective capabilities. In RPG, bikini armor surely doesn't give much protection looking with the naked eye, but such armor often comes with enchantments.

[@MuljoStpho]

Not sure if there are any examples of it in any games out there but a game dev could definitely just as easily apply that game logic to something like a loincloth for a male character. Just going for the most female-gazey (lol) "Conan the Barbarian" type of look for a male character (at least I think they had Arnold basically naked in that role? I've never actually seen the show) with a loincloth and some straps or whatever, and because of item enchantments it can be functionally equivalent to any more conventional looking type of armor that another character might be wearing. Actually, I suppose the Zelda games "Breath of the Wild" and "Tears of the Kingdom" had a barbarian armor set that we can point to as an example of this. Quite a bit of bare skin (granted, it's a family-friendly Nintendo game, so they don't go too risque (on the female side of things, Zelda's Gerudo dancer outfit in "Echoes of Wisdom" isn't that much more revealing than Link's barbarian look)), but still just as defensive as most (if not all) other armor in the game.

[@carlosezequiel6480]

(i´not against you just saying ) gladiators barley used armor, Greek boxers fought naked you don´t need full armor just need it on the right places in medieval times the people wearing armors had to be wealthy. believe me i m European from a country were the population is known since the paleolithic. and about bikini armor don´t exist just because you are using something made of metal don´t have to be a armor. example my car is made of metal so mean it´s a tank ?

[@KittenKatja]

@@carlosezequiel6480 You got a faulty analogy. I recommend changing to something that doesn't not only protect but also kill.

[@Riceball01]

@@carlosezequiel6480 Minor correction, armor wasn't worn only by the wealthy during the Medieval period and the Renaissance. By the time plate harnesses came about, soldiers from all social statuses could afford some form of armor. The poorest might only be able to afford a helmet while the wealthiest could afford to have a plate harness made for them. But there were a lot of people in between who wore a simple gambeson (which is actually fairly protective), a mail shirt, a brigandine, or possibly a plate cuirass.

I have been a Starfire fan since the beginning with her introduction in the Teen Titans comic book series. I wanted to watch the Netflix series but only got to see a few episodes (I am all grown up now with responsibilities), but I am not sure it was racism that got people worked up. Starfire was an Alien and not completely "white" even in the comic books. The actress who played her was fine, but they really changed the character a lot. I was disappointed, but it had nothing to do with race-swapping. I wish they could have found a balance with what Starfire was and what she could be now. I still want to see the rest of the series at some point, but Starfire isn't the only character they messed with, and I am not sure I like those other changes either.

[@TrueSighted]

Racism of the fans, had nothing to do with the rejection of Starfire's actor. It was about changing the established characters race for woke reasons. Starfire was never written as a black woman. That wasn't how she was written or created. If a white woman was chosen to blay a black super hero character in a film, You'd likely be screaming racism then too. Not to mention changing an established characters background and race for no real reason. despite what the original author envisioned. It has "Nothing" to do with racism of the fans. Though reverse racism may have entirely been why that actor was cast, instead of an actor of the race and gender of the character as written. Such Crap!
