Well I was just wondering what do you guys think they should do with Shazam's costume. I wouldnt of picked him being in the game but I think its pretty much confirmed he is. So anyway what do you think he should look like. Because his costume is soooo cartoony more than Supermans I think. So how do you think midway should do with Shazam's costume?
I was deviantart and found this.

This I think looks much better then this:

The first one still shows the classic sort of look, but looks much cooler and more edgey to fit in with the MK universe to. I dont mind the classic costume but the one I just showed I think looks sooo much better and cooler. tongue
So what would you guys like to see?

That would be really cool for an alt.
I cant imaging them using it for a primary because its not that traditional look.
But still for alt that would look cool grin

Captain Marvel, is always going to be remembered in the red costume. Although his white costume is kinda cool, he is recognized for his red one.

The new one. The old version is so... so... so lame... so very, very lame. Or maybe it's just the guy who is wearing it and the look on his face. Yeah, I think that's it.

Hey! Awesome! Take one of the greatest Golden Age designs; strip it of it's gorgeous soul; and make it look as generic as possible! Brilliant!

The white suit (and lightning streak) might be fun, but it's got to be the classic red. Keep the buttons, keeps the shoulder slung mini-cape, and all of those little detials. You just cannot go wrong with that. It's definitive!

That is how he will look. In the interview with Ed Boon where they talked about Captain Marvel, he said their design was very much like Alex Ross' art.

Im sorry but I really dislike that costume. I think its plain and ugly.

For some reason, the one in the fan art is much better, even though it feels the same. Doesnt he have any other well known outfits? He reminds me of Flash...its just very boring. I prefer the first one with the white/gold colors.

Hey Queve. smile Well bro, since you're being honest about opinions. Which I'm glad you are. Let me touch base about mine. I think Sonya's new costume is very dull and recycled tbh. What do you find so AMAZING about it, Idk lol. A white shirt and some pants? Now if she would of kept her retro look. I'd of been all over her. Figuratively Speaking.

If anything, at least CM is sticking to his roots, if he gets this, unlike Sonya who suffered most from the MK side look wise.

I'm not pointing this out as an attack on Sonya. I just keep seeing you talk about her AWESOME look, and nothing really stands out from her, for me, except her gameplay and her boots. Rest is History.

I think from a one MK FAN to Another, having the most original stuff with a character is what's important, don't you?

His alternate isn't that bad looking, kind of cool. Not as good as his standard but cool.

Well yeah from what some of you guys have said it
probably would be better that he had his original costume to keep things
original, but I've never really loved the costume. But I hope the one I showed could be like an alt costume idea, still looking original just a tad different and edgey-er lol.
Actually I really wanna see Captain Marvel now gameplay wise.
Is it this week there showing Captain Marvel and Lui Kang?

How in the name of god could you call that costume plain, and then turn around and say that that generic P.O.S. fan art is better? His classic costume is entirely different from what anyone else in this game has, and you want to put him in the skin-tight suit that everyone else has got?!

No, seriously, I want to know how you think this:

I've got to admit, with no movie in sight, I'm surprised this hasn't been the opinion of more MK fans. They aren't exactly conditioned to be discerning doyens of the character design world.


Still, I can't help but feel we need some sort of karma/rep points system so I can smash it bitterly.

To have issue with the Captain Marvel suit - which defines and transcends an era when he was a bigger seller than Superman - is one thing -- but to suggest the disgracefully generic DeviantART guy's is better. This is what happened to the world's greatest characters in the nineties!

Of course, to the best of my recollection, Captain Marvel was fortunate enough to avoid shoulder pads, bulky jackets, chains, cybernetics, pockets, and oversized guns. Respect!
