And yeah, their look pretty much have match the comics since First Class. They got classic costumes at the end of Apocalypse and Wolverine looked like Old Man Logan.
Mystique, as portrayed in the movies, differs significantly than her comic book counterpart. You would have to cherrypick atypical characterizations from the source material to defend Fox's version.
It's okay for the two versions to be different. It's also okay for you to like one version more than the other. It's not okay to claim that they are the same character because they look the same and have similar powers. The two Mystiques are only similar on a very superficial level.
I prefer the Mystique from the comic books who is more of a mercenary and a spy. The comic book version has deeper tradecraft and regularly uses weapons and gadgets as a part of her arsenal. Her motivations, allegiances, relationships and even her sexual politics are fluid. The comic book version of the character actually lives up to the name Mystique.
There is nothing mysterious or intriguing about the Fox-Men version of the character. Her motivations are not subtle or sophisticated and her character arc is - IMO - dull and plodding.
