Yes, it was campy, I agree. And before we even saw the suit it was completed explained by Coulson who said he had design influence, and was basing it off of the his trading cards which were themselves based off the "War Bond Salesman" Cap. So it was supposed to have the outdated vibe. It's actually really clever how they had his biggest fan design a suit for him. It really adds to that part of Coulson's character, which adds to the weight of his death later. It's a well intended subtlety. Did you think that was an attempt at a really great cap suit like the one in Civil War and that they missed the mark? I don't see anything to criticize here.
I actually like doing this though. This is a fun conversation. What else do you think was bad? I love discussing different perspectives.
Like I said, I criticize something in an MCU movie and you will defend it to no end. Cap's costume in Avengers was widely criticized, by critics, fans and general audiences alike. There's really no logical reason why his modern-day suit in Avengers would be campier and look more outdated than his suit in CATFA. It's just plain bad costume design, something that MCU fixed in the next installments of Cap. One of MCU's strongest assets is that it learns from its mistakes and actually listens to fans. Does not mean they don't make mistakes.
Another one is how Thor, a thousand year old being, learned humility, had a complete change in personality and found the love of his life after only 2 days on Earth. No matter which way you look at it, that's just some very weak writing and logic.
