HAWKEYE: Andy Park Shares His Early Concept Design For Kate Bishop's Costume

@MosquitoFarmer - I concur with this gesture

@TheWalkingCuban - I thought Hawkeye was a pleasant surprise. Better than Falcon&WS. originally thought it’d be the most boring of the Marvel Disney + shows.

@Matchesz - idk. I think the sexualization of characters in comics has its place in certain comics, I'm not sure any Marvel character need to show skin as part of their costume, save for like Mystique or a femme fetal character where sex appeal is actually part of the characters skill set.

But a super hero in the field who can take damage easily, or in video game terminology is squishy, they should be armored up. When a lot of these revealing costumes were made, it was a different time. They weren't thinking at all about film adaptations or being grounded or how it might play out as a grounded film 30 years into the future. The wilder the concepts in those early days of comics, the better. Sex sold and flashy designs were the staple. That's not the case for today's sensibilities, even before you address woke culture.

I'm not an avid woke culture person, but even I think it's ridiculous to be a barely dressed warrior with exposed, easily accessible vulnerabilities and weak points.
