This is why dates are important.
Well, that and because the good ones can sometimes lead to the sort of thing best reserved for @Lord Wraith's posts...
Yeah, it's a shame there's no good way to grandfather in Big Two-adjacent characters like Hellboy without opening up a slippery slope.

According to somebody that's actually seen the pilot, Starfire looks that way because her story starts in the aftermath of a car crash while returning from a 70's disco party. So I'm assuming it won't be a permanent look. ...I'm assuming.
... You know, that explanation is both comforting and concerning. Comforting because it explains the outfit, concerning because I can't figure a way that would fit into Starfire's story...
@NinaDivine I quite like the look of Shazam.
We could always go over the Titans cast if you want.
Woof. Raven works fine, and I guess I can stomach fleshy Beast Boy by reminding myself of budget limitations, but what the fuck is even going on with Starfire? That hair, that dress, the metallic purple lips... it just looks so bad.
Yeah, I've got no problem with Ottley; I've just accepted that with him, you'll get the occasional derp face.
Why does she look like Bryce Dallas Howard?
Because Ryan Ottley, mostly.
In other news: Marvel, don't you fuck me...
I never really cared about the hero's costume matching whatever animal it's supposed to be-- I mean, if we're going to really get into it, Spidey should have six extra eyes and the web-shooters in his butt, Wolverine and Batman should both be brown, and Black Canary should replace her fishnets with feathers.
Without going into color theory (which I never actually studied), it seems to be that in comics, generally speaking good guys wear primary colors, bad guys wear secondary colors. It's about the closest thing to team uniforms they get, and works really well as visual shorthand, especially in splash pages with tons of characters displayed.
Plus, I mean, people just respond more strongly to them than more natural colors-- there's a reason everything from first-person shooters to national politics divide opposing sides up into Red Team vs. Blue Team. You want something that catches the eye immediately and provokes a response? Primary colors FTW.
Well, it's not even color theory so much as economics, as I understand it. In the 60s (and earlier), primary colors were cheaper to print. So you decked your heroes (who would be appearing every issue) in the cheaper primaries and saved the more expensive secondaries for big-time villains (so you didn't have to shell out the big bucks all the time).
