Fashion Critique of G.I. Joe Characters?


Indeed!

From a piece on Comics Alliance...

Chris: I think our fashion critique of Rise of Cobra would be pretty short, and probably limited to two words. But the ones we're looking at have some truly timeless designs -- Occasionally timelessly awful, but I think the point stands. So I thought we'd start at the top with the single greatest fashion icon of all time: DESTRO! Not since Dr. Strange has a man rocked the high collar/amulet combo so effectively.

Bethany: Holy accessories, Batman! Does this guy have a disco collar, an amulet, two gauntlets (one with darts and another with grenades), and TWO garters? Not to mention, the collar, amulet, darts, grenades, and garters are matching impeccably!

Chris: And he has a pair of Batman's boots. Do you think that might be why I like Destro and Batman so much, even though they're completely different from each other? Because of the boots?

Bethany: Scalloped Batman-esque boots are usually a good indicator of what kind of character you're about to get invested in. That's how I decide whether or not I want to befriend people nowadays. Question: Is that a mask that he's wearing or is that what his face looks like? And if it's the latter, is he wearing a flesh-toned shirt under that suit?
