Didn't you see any of the Lord of the Rings movies? (Or did the last Matrix one come out after them?)

Ok, Yeah. Matrix was November, RoTK was December, so ROTK was the last movie where I actually saw his face. But they were close enough together that you can forgive me not remembering which was first.

Oh, well to be fair I can't begin to keep track of Marvel's multiple stupidities - particularly in the late 70s and early 80s, I think they really stretched their tacky-ometers trying to be more ridiculous than the threads you could see on the streets of New York.
Yeah, it's one of the most ridiculous get-ups in comics history, just this side of Alan Scott's.
Ouch!

I think I'll forgive you - you can see from my previous post I wasn't exactly 100% sure on the chronology myself!

An attractive redheaded woman in a green mini dress with a V neck is never a bad thing, no mask can change that.

Marvel Girl's mid 60s costume is a bit dated now, though. I can understand why they might want to tweak that one a bit.

It's a pretty basic look. google green mini dress and you'll see a few modern dresses that are close.An attractive redheaded woman in a green mini dress with a V neck is never a bad thing, no mask can change that.

but it wasn't her choice, Professor. X (creepy old guy) designed it for her to wear - the subtext is about the abuse of the young by people they trust.

The first uniforms that Prof X gave them were more practical and all had team colors, it was the uniforms that Jean and co made on their own that included the mini-dress.
But Xavier is a dirty old man, I agree.

The USO chorus girls remind me a little of the ones from the "Freedom" number in Holiday Inn (1942).
With this and X-Men: First Class, I'm really liking the idea of comic book movies as period pieces. After all, the sources are period pieces themselves. What if the next Fantastic Four flick was set in 1962, or if Supes were shown leaping tall(ish) buildings in 1938?

Cute qualifier, but unnecessary given the existence then of many of the most striking elements of New York's modern skyline.

I remember Harry Knowles saying years ago that any FF movie should be set in the 1960s, with them meeting JFK and the other FF (the Beatles). One of Harry's better suggestions. Indeed, when Peyton Reed, director of the under-rated 60s-set musical Down With Love was attached, there was some hope it might be set in this era.

Well, it all depends, I think. With Cap, WWII is always a part of his backstory. You can't have Cap without WWII. Does the 1960s setting for Fantastic Four or X-Men and the 1930s of Superman still come in to play? I don't think it does given the sliding timescale of most comics. As it is, those comics and characters are always meant to be "current".
First Class got away with it since it was a prequel to the earlier films. A 1960s setting, while also a nod to the original comics, happened because of the earlier films. If the earlier films didn't exist, or they were to have done that movie as either a reboot, I would be it would have been set in modern times.
Not to say that comic book movies couldn't be period pieces; I just think it would come off as more of a gimmick than anything else.

^ One thing I really like about The Phantom series is the ability to set it in virtually any time period from the last 500 years.

Yeah, it certainly could. I was thinking though, that maybe these classic comic book superheroes were period pieces in and of themselves, and that setting their stories in the worlds from which they sprang gave them a certain grounding or resonance that they lose when modernized.

Possible sequel talk (I figure it's too early to start a thread for the sequel!)

i can't see them using 616 MODOK. Ultimate MODOK, maybe. that weird ass giant floating head with the tiny arms and legs is just too silly looking.
