Most readers of that column actually complimented Betsy's new uniform.<br /><br />Anka seems to be speaking about the general discussion in that article, about what works and what doesn't work to make a heroine looks sexy without becoming cheap fanservice.FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-24951128540309274232013-05-10T12:14:18.672-03:002013-05-10T12:14:18.672-03:00He sounds pretty defensive.

Although I really like the costume, I'm just not feeling that big X on her chest, as was discussed below. In fact, I really think that it is just for looks. Seeing his original drawing, it looks freaking cool. I think I like it better as a black and grey costume, with the little arm cutouts. I can see how black and grey is "stealthy". It looks like these details were changed afterwards by other artists. Really, if we're talking function for a stealthy ninja, a huge white chest emblem serves no purpose. Much better if it were darker.Australian Outbackhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04029837232088798333noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5596031626753539266.post-62803838340282763752013-05-09T23:49:37.848-03:002013-05-09T23:49:37.848-03:00*remins = reminds

And that's what I like about Anka's outfit for Psylocke: it fits with her personality and abilities. <br /><br />It makes perfect sense for her NOT to wear high heels; the black color makes it more stealthy (in Gillen's Psylocke's words, she's a bloody ninja, after all), while the white "X" on her chest gives the outfit more personality and also remins the readers that she's a proud X-Woman (even when she's in black-ops with the X-Force). And the purple sash is a great throwback to her (in?)famous bathing suit.<br /><br />Humphries's Uncanny X-Force unfortunately has been a letdown so far, but if there's a reason for us to be grateful that it exists (other than the great arts from Ron Garney and Adrian Alphona), it's the new costumes that Psylocke and Storm got. Both women look amazing right now, and I'm very glad to know that they will also wear these uniforms in Wood's X-Men.FSakerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10462635398072983026noreply@blogger.com
