This NEEDS to stop

Ant-Man and the Wasp Quantumania is another film that continues the trend of Marvel characters adopting nanotech suits and it just looks awful.

Taking off a helmet has so much more impact than having it just de-materialize. Like when T'Challa took off his helmet and set it in the snow when he confronted Zemo.

Ant-Man's original suit was so cool. It felt way more tangible and realistic than his newer ones.

The only recent Marvel suit up scene I liked was Moon Knight's. I really enjoyed when Marc looks like he got possessed with white pupils as bandages wrap his body. That's quite unique and makes a lot of sense.

When Iron Man put on his suit, there was weight to it, his body reacted to each piece attaching itself. It was literally the way of telling "shit just got real". Damn I miss those movies.

Marvel has gotten complacent. They've been the best for so long that they've forgotten what made them that way. The writing has been getting more and more lazy, and so has the character design.

I think Doctor Strange's outfit is a good middle ground here. He can summon his robes like nanotech, but he has to first don the cape and initiate his magic. It made for one of the coolest and iconic shots in phase 4 in Multiverse of Madness, where he sort of Spider-Mans his way out of a wedding and into action.

The scene where T'challa takes of his helmet in front of the cop in Civil War is very good and shows how versatile an actual armor can be in story telling.

They need real costumes or a full Magical Girl transformation sequence.
That's the only way.

The problem is that they dont use physical suits anymore. They only wear those motion capture suits. A mix of both would fix the issue that it looks so weird. That and they have to give the vfx teams more time lol

[kifre]

The thing that no one really seems to mention is the way they constantly have to remove their mask/helmet/etc, whenever there is a conversation anywhere. It's like an obsession to show the actor as much as possible even when it's stupid, like in the middle of a battle field.

I think besides BP and Ironman, Antman actually has the most logical reasoning to have a “nano”-tech suit. He is constantly changing sizes so it makes sense to me over the standard leather suit he has. It could be easily explained away that using equally small technology like Nano tech may better protect Scott’s physiology from unnaturally shifting his volume with Pym-Particles

[zayisweird]

i definitely miss the physical suits, they looked so dope and it made me feel like they were actually wearing the suit

[FUBUKANI]

Also its cool to see the heroes improvise a plan to defeat their enemy when their suits are getting destroyed

[micahcaraballo]

Gone are those days when superheroes had to hide their suit under their normal clothes 😭

[danielwood]

Nothing tops a hero getting changed in an alley or ripping their shirt open to reveal their costume underneath.

[captainredducky]

Completely agree, sometimes a superhero putting their helmet/mask/cowl on is what we need.

[Hanoua]

The end of No Way Home was especially amazing because Peter Parker could no longer use the nano tech, he had to make his own suit from scratch, it felt like the real spiderman was back

[esl]

The thing I miss from the first iron man is Tony stark actually working like a real mechanic. The tinkering in his shop to the clearly thought out mechanical design of the iron man suit felt way more genuine. The nano tech feels like an upgrade that comes out of nowhere. It’s a massive leap to go from that first suit to nano tech, even for Tony stark. Blank panther is the only one who should use it as the entire nation of wakanda is technologically advanced.

[themelonreaper]

Kang taking his helmet off just to show ant man that he is such a powerful threat would have been a pretty powerful moment

[mchammer]

1000% agree. It’s a good example of a lot of their problems now. That Tony suit up sequence showed love and care. The stuff now just feel so… obligatory.
