Arm length gloves and a sleeveless top? That's what you think distinguishes her as Elektra? That's a bit of a reach, considering that a lot of female characters use sleeveless tops and high gloves, not to mention the fact that comic Elektra's costume doesn't even use a sleeveless top nor arm length gloves. The loincloth is better, but again that's not exactly enough to distinguis her as Elektra. Numerous Ninjas and Samurai-esque characters use similar clothing style. I stand by my original statement: if you had no idea who she was and just saw her picture, you wouldn't immediately associate her with Elektrs. The funny thing about what you are saying is that you are dismissing everything that makes her costume Elektra's costume and saying others have it. The problem isn't with the live action costumes. The problem is with your view of the comics' costumes. If you can't see who she is then you don't know what the character looks like in the first place. Well yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. That Elektra's costume on the show is pretty much generic ninja stuff. The only reason you recognize her as Elektra is because you already know she is Elektra. Had I shown you that picture before you had watched the show you probably wouldn't have known it was her. But hey, if you're completely fine with the look of Elektra's costume and think it's just as well made and distinguishable as the men's costumes then good for you. I, for one, would like to see improvement because I'm a fan of these characters and feel they deserve better. |
