Compare Watson's dress to Lily James in Cinderella. Which one looks like a fantasy princess given magical luxury?

Costume and production design on that film was pretty fantastic overall, though I shouldn't be surprised with Kenneth Branagh helming a period film. It's why BATB being a letdown in that regard was even worse.
>I shouldn’t be surprised with Kenneth Branagh helming a period film
I tried to watch his Death on the Nile a couple nights ago, and it was dreadful. 40 minutes in, called quits
Everything that didn’t look cheap was a fricking CGI image over a green screen. And the rock’n’roll opening was even cringier than the nazi scene in the Orient Express. I know he is a good director, but his name shouldn’t be synonymous of quality anymore
I mean period in the sense that he has a history of doing all those period Shakespearean adaptations, like his lavish Hamlet. He certainly has his share of dud films, mainly when he leans into "blockbuster" types. Cinderella didn't have that fake greenscreen look, the sets and costumes looked real and luxurious as you'd want. I don't know what's up with his Poirot films but I feel like he just likes prancing around in that mustache doing a Belgian accent and doesn't care too much beyond that.
ITT: "What were they thinking" costume design edition.
And that is why you wear a corset. The whole memeing of them as some kind of PATRIARCHY TORTURE DEVICE in movies and media in recent times is cringeworthy. They were support for clothing, not some weird rib crushing murder bras. If you "can't breathe" in it, stop lacing it so tight. But don't just discard them entirely. Look at Cinderella's dress with one, it actually has a shape and waist, versus the BATB one one Emma Watson that's just a square. Shockingly, these massive princess dresses need something to support them. Or as pointed out by anon, even her normal outfit looks terrible on her because no corset
>can't sing >can't act >doesn't stand out as anything other than average >refused to have any corsets in any of her costumes so they just look like formless bundles of cloth instead of clothing >insisted on a "FEMINIST" interpretation of Belle as she understands it
.
Anyway that's enough about women's undergarments from me.
The whole "Corsets represent oppression" meme is such massive bullshit and all fashion youtubers say so, even the turbo feminist ones.
Corsets weren't just a one-size-fits-all rubber band designed to keep down women, they were tailor made for women to fit their figure, yes they were meant to constrict the softer parts of the body so they didn't move around beneath the bodice, but they weren't any more constrictive than a bustier or a bra.
I remember this was a massive meme around the time the first Pirates of the Caribbean came out, when Keira Knightly passed out in her corset and fell into the ocean. It was absolutely absurd the things women came up with, like this was the greatest injustice women have ever experienced. Women who wore corsets where most likely very privileged and pampered, so its weird they focused so hard on them.

Hey, Portman wore all manner of impractical lavish outfits as Padme
Kinda missing the point there, in that corsets aren't just about a slim waist, they give form and support to the whole dress, without it it's just a big baggy square.
The shitty costume design for Belle is part of the overall disaster Watson was as a casting choice. Can't sing, can't act, doesn't look particularly beautiful to catch Gaston's eye, and "revamped" the character to suit Watson's PR feminism schtick.
>literal cosplayers outdo your 200 million dollar movie
Also confusing because why not just use the same fricking dress as the Belles in Disney parks? Or the same designer at least? Disney forgot who they were
>Emma Watson, a contemporary feminist icon, wanted her version of Belle to reflect the modern-day woman. The Beauty and the Beast writers accomplished that by giving the Disney princess an empowering new backstory in the 2017 remake: she's an inventor, just like her father. But her wardrobe also helps bring the message across.
>Belle's look in the opening scene has some major upgrades, costume designer Jacqueline Durran told WWD. Instead of heeled pumps, she wears boots. Her apron doubles as a tool belt. She occasionally tucks her skirt into her waistband so she can freely roam in her bloomers.
>From the start, Watson didn't want her Belle to be a "corseted, impossible idea of female beauty." So they removed the corset from her iconic yellow ballgown, and replaced it with a flexible bodice. "Nothing she wears is inhibiting," Durran explained. "She can do whatever she would want to do in any of her costumes. She rides a horse."
(you know, in case you need to ride a horse in your ballgown)
>"It was quite tricky, because she was working so hard to create a strong, individual, modern, emancipated kind of Belle. But at the same time, there are elements in which the yellow dress works against that in a sense of being a pretty, princess-y kind of dress.

Everything about Emma Watson screams "surface level and performative". Like her entire idea of feminism begins and ends with "no corsets or heels, amirite, girl power!", all showy with no substance done for the cameras and PR.
>Instead of heeled pumps, she wears boots. Her apron doubles as a tool belt. She occasionally tucks her skirt into her waistband so she can freely roam in her bloomers. >From the start, Watson didn't want her Belle to be a "corseted, impossible idea of female beauty."
Unless you're Hermione, in which case I don't want to have her unkempt bushy hair, plain outfits and big teeth, I want to be glamourous and basically just playing myself from Movie 3 onward.
I don't know what's worse:
The attempts at injecting feminism into everything in the movie
Or the fact that I barely even noticed.
Truly, aside from her randomly inventing the washing machine at the beginning, and the backstory about her mom dying of the plague or whatever, none of the changes for the adaptation seemed particularly out of place. Even LeFou being gay actually made sense.
Trying that hard to make it feminist and having the only effect be that some of the costumes are worse is pretty pathetic.
Oh, and the fact that she's so bad at singing that they couldn't even hide the auto-tune.
>why not just use the same fricking dress as the Belles in Disney parks?
Because the costume designers want to put their own spin on things.
It's the same reason your favourite series adaptation got butchered, because hollywood nobody writers think they're better than bestselling authors. Well, so do costume designers, and everyone else. Their egos are off the scale and they would rather make something shit that's their own than something good that someone else can take partial credit for.
It has nothing to do with the costume designer. It was Emma Watson's input.

Jacqueline Durran was the costume designer, she knows how to do period costumes. She did Atonement, 1917, etc. The problem was Watson wanted a "modern feminist Belle". Compare to Cinderella, another Disney remake
I do know that. Because they literally openly say it. The costume designer is right there talking about the process and Watson's input. You think the same designer that does all Joe Wright's period films is suddenly going to bust out this stupid looking prom dress?
frick, my wife watched this while i was in the room half paying attention and it was so... stupid. so fricking dumb. all the neat story elements i thought might happen either got fricked by dumb shit or was set aside for a cliffhanger
> I hated this fricking movie
Of course you did, kid
It’s popular, and a zoomers like you believe that being a contrarian is the same as having a personality

Tech was advanced enough they just didn’t try hard enough. It also added to the unfortunate fakeness throughout the whole damn movie. Like goddamn just have more than one damn person in most scenes or it looks like Ryan Reynolds is just playing VR

Do you think they do foot castings for that role?
That movie was actually decent as far as these live action remakes go. Had good production design, casting, and its expansions on the original cartoon's story all felt pretty natural. Compare "Cinderella and the Prince meet a few times before the ball and get to know each other, and the Prince actually has a character" to "Uh uh....Belle is now the inventor instead of her dad and uh....her mom was something something....and she's....gotta fight the patriarchy?"/
Part of that was the fact that Cinderella isn't a very hard act to surpass, the original cartoon is pretty eh, the second sequel is considerably better, so the live action would have had to frick up very hard in order to not seem at least up to par.
>can't sing >can't act >doesn't stand out as anything other than average >refused to have any corsets in any of her costumes so they just look like formless bundles of cloth instead of clothing >insisted on a "FEMINIST" interpretation of Belle as she understands it
Homelander's muscle suits works pretty well I think.
They couldn't get a guy that was there flawless Aryan perfection that the character was in the comics because Dolph Lundgren is too old, so they opted the other route. Homelander is a lazy, entitled bastards so he never works for his muscles knowing he doesn't need it.
And Butcher dressing like shit is am effect of having to change his "early 2000s trenchcoat and katanas" looks in the comics.
Show is still garbage however
That's kinda hard to say.
The show started better because it had better, more nuanced characters and less juvenile, edgy humor. With added good performances.
It then got insufferably preachy, clearly padding because the writers have to planned anything and later followed with juvenile and edgy humor, only less ballsy than the comics.
The comics aren't good, they're awfully bad in fact, but there is interesting things in it.
The show become as bad, but in a different sense. With nothing remotely good in it that couldn't be seen in a 5min clip on YouTube.
My advice would be to skip both and read Hitman
I laughed that their attempts to make the Beast and Belle more "equal" just resulted in a bland Belle and a Beast that's just a huge butthole, instead of a tormented beast who regains his humanity during the film.
Just compare the Beast showing Belle his massive library and offering any book in the cartoon and the movie.
>Cartoon: After saving her from the wolves and getting injured, Beast realizes he's falling in love with Belle and says to Cogsworth he wants to do something nice for her, just because. Knowing how she loves books, he takes her to his vast library and tells her she can have any book she wants from it, any time. Belle is of course delighted because she's never seen this many books in her entire life.
>Live Action Remake: When helping him recover from his injuries from the wolves, Belle mentions that Romeo and Juliet is her favorite book, which the Beast rolls his eyes and scoffs at, because she WOULD like a lightweight romance story like that instead of something more worthy, and he shows her to his library basically to say "Here, I have some REAL literature, get gud and try these".
And this is supposed to be the part of the film where he's softening up and she's seeing he really is a good person underneath all that bestial exterior. Instead he just comes off as a snobby butthole and her a dumb simp.
The whole "stockholm" meme people throw at the original BATB is such bullshit. Or the idea she's trying to change an abusive partner. Belle in the animated film doesn't start to warm to up to Beast until HE stops acting like such an butthole, there's no attempt by her to "change him", he changes thanks to having human contact for the first time in decades and she starts to see the human beneath.

See i hate that one cause i think the arms look stupid. It looks better with full sleeves but if you're gonna go expose the arms it at least needed braces/gloves.
Do you also feel this way about his New 52 suit? I got a feeling that it was based off of it. >It looks better with full sleeves
They tried something like this in the first season and it honestly looks terrible. Unless you're talking about an armor-like costume with sleeves made of cloth. I could see that.

New 52 looks a bit better cause it doesn't just have a weird small area of arm exposed. I still hate that overall design though i'm just not a fan of the vest look on an archer.
His costume looked better in season 1-3, especially in 3 with the strap across his chest. I don't even mean the arrow show in particular though when i say he looks better with sleeves, i've seen ton of different outfits of green arrow from shows, comics, and skins in games, and i think he always looks better with sleeves.

Yeah we'll agree to disagree in that matter. >i'm just not a fan of the vest look on an archer
I can see where are you coming from. What's your favourite design of an archer character, or even your favourite Green Arrow design?
You have to keep in mind his entire gimmick is archery. Having no sleeves would probably give you the most freedom when doing your archery shit. So it kinda makes practical sense to go sleeveless.
As a cosplayer I always liked the Flash/Impulse costume. I read somewhere that the cast teased Impulse about his costume the most saying it looked like something his mom would have sewn together. But I think it was the second coolest costume next to Green Arrow.
I can't remember where I heard it, but I think the Costume Designer busted her ass to make all the costumes for Dorne in Season 5 at the last minute because they only decided to keep that plotline in after Oberyn became popular and it gave her burnout. (This is also why nearly everything else about Dorne sucked too by the way). She stopped giving a frick and just made everyone wear black leather to half ass it.
I did like a couple of Dany's riding outfits though, and it actually made sense for her character progression to shift her wardrobe into incorporating more black leather with red accents.
It's not "laziness" as much as "their costume design was killed by a lion, and they devoted more of the ever increasing budget to VFX rather than to costuming"
No, they look massively uncomfortable and would look ridiculous on me. But I'm a man, not a woman, so that shouldn't be surprising. But if an actress going to play a Disney princess in live action, they had better be prepared to look the part, just as an action star is expected to be in shape and looking jacked.
Not really a costume but the werewolves in Supernatural were really fricking disappointing. I get it's a TV Show so you can spend your budget to get giant animatronic suits but like >Long nails >Sharp teeth
Is that all you could come up with? You couldn't even add some fur on their face or change their skull structure a little??

The Boys has some pretty bad costumes, especially the muscle suit of Homelander and the ridiculous big boots of Butcher.
Homelander's muscle suits works pretty well I think.
They couldn't get a guy that was there flawless Aryan perfection that the character was in the comics because Dolph Lundgren is too old, so they opted the other route. Homelander is a lazy, entitled bastards so he never works for his muscles knowing he doesn't need it.
And Butcher dressing like shit is am effect of having to change his "early 2000s trenchcoat and katanas" looks in the comics.
Show is still garbage however
is the comic better?
That's kinda hard to say.
The show started better because it had better, more nuanced characters and less juvenile, edgy humor. With added good performances.
It then got insufferably preachy, clearly padding because the writers have to planned anything and later followed with juvenile and edgy humor, only less ballsy than the comics.
The comics aren't good, they're awfully bad in fact, but there is interesting things in it.
The show become as bad, but in a different sense. With nothing remotely good in it that couldn't be seen in a 5min clip on YouTube.
My advice would be to skip both and read Hitman
That's a dress.
wait who the frick is on the right of Esmeralda?
The chick from Atlantis.
oh shit yeah I forgot that was disney, and I didn't recognize her wearing... clothes
It's her queen outfit from the end of the movie which they ended using in the parks for the rare times they had her out.

It's completely irrelevant to the thread

what
It's so they don't have to keep risking lawsuits at the themeparks only hiring white character actors
shnoz of a thousand suns
I laughed that their attempts to make the Beast and Belle more "equal" just resulted in a bland Belle and a Beast that's just a huge butthole, instead of a tormented beast who regains his humanity during the film.
Just compare the Beast showing Belle his massive library and offering any book in the cartoon and the movie.
>Cartoon: After saving her from the wolves and getting injured, Beast realizes he's falling in love with Belle and says to Cogsworth he wants to do something nice for her, just because. Knowing how she loves books, he takes her to his vast library and tells her she can have any book she wants from it, any time. Belle is of course delighted because she's never seen this many books in her entire life.
>Live Action Remake: When helping him recover from his injuries from the wolves, Belle mentions that Romeo and Juliet is her favorite book, which the Beast rolls his eyes and scoffs at, because she WOULD like a lightweight romance story like that instead of something more worthy, and he shows her to his library basically to say "Here, I have some REAL literature, get gud and try these".
And this is supposed to be the part of the film where he's softening up and she's seeing he really is a good person underneath all that bestial exterior. Instead he just comes off as a snobby butthole and her a dumb simp.
>when it's all copies of e-girlta
And one singular copy of the koran on a nightstand, heavily read and pages marked
The whole "stockholm" meme people throw at the original BATB is such bullshit. Or the idea she's trying to change an abusive partner. Belle in the animated film doesn't start to warm to up to Beast until HE stops acting like such an butthole, there's no attempt by her to "change him", he changes thanks to having human contact for the first time in decades and she starts to see the human beneath.

Whatever it was, it looks like shit
Ok but I don't remember asking though
Zoomers mog Cinemaphile lingo. They're based. You're going to get heemed soon.
Sneed.
I recognise “sneed”
That’s what mentally challenged people say, along with “kino”
>turn fairy godmother into a literal homosexual
Thanks israelites
can't look any more horrific
Wash your mouth out homie.
I forgot this existed. It got promoted and then no one talked about it because no one watched it.
Here's your Deathstroke bro
It looks pretty good when you compare it to Black Canary
Superhero costumes were not something Smallville excelled at.
I'd say is a CW issue.
The only decent costume they ever made was the Green Arrow one for season 4.
See i hate that one cause i think the arms look stupid. It looks better with full sleeves but if you're gonna go expose the arms it at least needed braces/gloves.
Do you also feel this way about his New 52 suit? I got a feeling that it was based off of it.
>It looks better with full sleeves
They tried something like this in the first season and it honestly looks terrible. Unless you're talking about an armor-like costume with sleeves made of cloth. I could see that.
New 52 looks a bit better cause it doesn't just have a weird small area of arm exposed. I still hate that overall design though i'm just not a fan of the vest look on an archer.
His costume looked better in season 1-3, especially in 3 with the strap across his chest. I don't even mean the arrow show in particular though when i say he looks better with sleeves, i've seen ton of different outfits of green arrow from shows, comics, and skins in games, and i think he always looks better with sleeves.
>His costume looked better in season 1-3
Yeah we'll agree to disagree in that matter.
>i'm just not a fan of the vest look on an archer
I can see where are you coming from. What's your favourite design of an archer character, or even your favourite Green Arrow design?
You have to keep in mind his entire gimmick is archery. Having no sleeves would probably give you the most freedom when doing your archery shit. So it kinda makes practical sense to go sleeveless.
As a cosplayer I always liked the Flash/Impulse costume. I read somewhere that the cast teased Impulse about his costume the most saying it looked like something his mom would have sewn together. But I think it was the second coolest costume next to Green Arrow.
> Superhero costumes were not something Smallville excelled at.
Or tried
What's wrong with seeing her big perma-hard nips?
Slayyy
She's so godamn ugly bros
>here's your Princess Irulan bro
Did Chloe Grace Moretz get even more bogged and more fridged?
I am Cyborg, fear me.
Pretty much every outfit in GoT after season four
What went wrong?
>S1
Meanwhile, S6:
I can't remember where I heard it, but I think the Costume Designer busted her ass to make all the costumes for Dorne in Season 5 at the last minute because they only decided to keep that plotline in after Oberyn became popular and it gave her burnout. (This is also why nearly everything else about Dorne sucked too by the way). She stopped giving a frick and just made everyone wear black leather to half ass it.
I did like a couple of Dany's riding outfits though, and it actually made sense for her character progression to shift her wardrobe into incorporating more black leather with red accents.
Pretty sure their costume designer actually died around S4/5
Bullshit, they just got cheap and lazy. They replaced chain mail with fricking sweaters.
It's not "laziness" as much as "their costume design was killed by a lion, and they devoted more of the ever increasing budget to VFX rather than to costuming"
The costume designer wasn’t making fricking chain mail, moron.
do you guys ever want to wear pretty dresses
All the time.
No, they look massively uncomfortable and would look ridiculous on me. But I'm a man, not a woman, so that shouldn't be surprising. But if an actress going to play a Disney princess in live action, they had better be prepared to look the part, just as an action star is expected to be in shape and looking jacked.
>"What were they thinking"
>THIS WILL SELL DOLLS
Have you guys seen the latest, upgraded model?
Not really a costume but the werewolves in Supernatural were really fricking disappointing. I get it's a TV Show so you can spend your budget to get giant animatronic suits but like
>Long nails
>Sharp teeth
Is that all you could come up with? You couldn't even add some fur on their face or change their skull structure a little??
Can't spend your budget*
Every monster in that show wound up just being a regular person with like a spike or fangs or something.
Lol, the Vampires in Buffy looked more like werewolves than that.
We need to go back.
Teef test
What were they thinking?

I read that in a bostonian accent.
>Yo check out dis gay's Nilfgaad amah. Looks like my toilet paypeh that time I tried indian food, I swear ta gad.
the only good thing to come out of that movie was all the blacked and humiliation antifeminist porn and art
wrong wrong with these costumes?
what's*
too old you can see her ready to crash into the wall
should have unironically done it during the harry potter era
If anything, Watson has 10/10 legs and feet.
I'm glad her career is dead.
>Friday night
>reading about period dresses and costume design on Cinemaphile
It's like she wasn't finished putting on her costume yet
This thread should be COVERED in Supergirl costume webms. Melissa was adorable.
>hey lets put a cheerleader in this mid Tarantino movie
Wasn't it for a film set?
Guys, they fricked the dress up on purpose.
Uh huh.
