    Well, Cap fights hand-to-hand whereas Clint is obviously going to spend more time taking out opponents from a distance...okay, then I remembered the Black Widow is on the team, so I got nothing.


Yeah, the pictures of the three of them together is what made me think of it. The other two look fairly casual by comparison, and then there Cap is all decked out. He looks very safety conscious.

I agree. They add so much to the shape of the head. In general, people don't look good with tight-fitting, unadorned headgear. There's a reason that almost all hats throughout history have added brims, feathers, pom-poms, spikes, anything really, regardless of functionality. I'm kind of shocked that Hollywood (and Marvel) can't make that connection.

But then, considering who I'm talking to, I hardly need to lecture you on the subject.

    Ryan Reynolds mask was CG in Green Lantern and it looked pretty bad too, hate to say.


It certainly was distracting in all of the clips I saw of him. Again, though, I'm talking prosthetics... If Hollywood make-up artists can make the governor of California look like his' missing half his face and has robot parts underneath, surely they can replicate the thin, form-fitting look of a comic book mask and actually augment the shape of the actor's head for the best effect as well. Honestly, if you ever see any life-sized Superhero Bust made by one of those high-end collectable companies, there's just no reason that they couldn't reproduce that exactly on an actor's head.
