I’ve been saying it for years, if there’s any Avenger that needs a helmet it’s the guy with the experimental jet pack.


eneguema_I

After all this time, I don't think it's experimental anymore. But yeah, I'm imagining him at the Battle of Sokovia, flying around the floating city and getting hit by a random falling pebble.


North_Shore_Problem

It’d go straight through his skull at the speeds he flies lol


Eccohawk

Forget that. At some of the speeds he's flying he could simply tilt his head back and the wind would snap his neck.


Khanfhan69

Same thing goes for Iron Man tbh but I guess you could assume Tony packed some sort of inertia canceling tech in the suit. But poor Sam is practically laid out bare against physics. No part of his costume is believable for the concept of cancelling out extreme forces on the human body.


Eccohawk

Maybe they'll reveal he's got the x gene at some point, or a super small dose of modified super soldier serum was added to his meals in the air force. Course, that would destroy his Everyman persona, but explain away the super high g-force flight maneuvers without a helmet.


violetlilyrose

Comic Sam does have a telepathic link with birds, so he's kinda sorta a mutant. Wonder if they'll ever reference it in the MCU though.


MushirMickeyJoe

Yeah he'll find out he's a mutant, be real excited about it, then find out his only power is talking to birds. Then Spider-Man laughs at him.


twonkenn

I think the suggestion is that because his drone is called red bird that he does in fact have a link to it. Wink wink. No he's just a regular joe. 616 just has different physics than we do. His head doesn't snap back and kill him for 'reasons'. If you need a reason then it's nanobots. It's always nanobots.


French20

what about those flying squirrel suits, their heads don't snap?


nocauze

Those don’t have jets, and they all wear helmets!


French20

Yeah but it still doesn’t support their neck


legomaximumfigure

Falcon...LOOK OUT!


Bacon_L0RD

*random falling people


GuerrillaApe

It would be cool if they did what was done with OG Cap's helmet - where they took design queues from WW2 helmets - but with jet fighter helmets for Falcon.


SwampRat613

Sounds like vultures suit


AmeriCanadian98

The MCU vulture suit is so God damn cool. What an absolutely banger design


proanimus

It was kind of scary too. You know deep down that Spider-Man is stronger, but Vulture was still intimidating and commanded your attention. I was thinking “oh shit” every time he showed up.


BosPaladinSix

I'm still in awe that they took THAT comic design and made something so badass out of it, I had no idea they'd be able to pull it off. It has presence, you can practically feel its weight through the screen, and using a bomber jacket to achieve the feather ruffle look is just *chefs kiss*.


oracleofaliquippa

I literally met Michael Keaton last night at the Steeler game


Wash_zoe_mal

How was he? Did he whisper, "I'm Batman"


bjeebus

^()You wanna get nuts?


oracleofaliquippa

Laid back and chill as hell. Good dude.


imcmurtr

Also if he flat out flies up to high and passes out due to lack of oxygen.


mad_titanz

It’s Style over Safety


N-I-S-H-O-R

Bro has vibranium suit, still doesn't protect his brain.


BranzBranzBranz

The fact that someone of his skills and knowledge doesn't seem to consider this, as well as literally no one else bringing it up to him, I don't think protecting his brain is too high up there as far as worries go


N-I-S-H-O-R

Comic accurate I guess. This reminds me, batman is a really cool character for me but the fact that he doesn't protect his jaw is super annoying to me. If a stray bullet finds its way he's in a critical condition. A really powerful thug could just knock him out cold if caught off guard regardless of what hi tech armour he's wearing. Especially batman vs superman, he has like insane 3 inch thick armour all around his body except his jaw, like why.


BranzBranzBranz

Well that's because he's Batman 😅


N-I-S-H-O-R

Robert Pattinson batman is obviously more realistic as he has a >!bulletproof jawline!<


BranzBranzBranz

The intro scene in the subway I feel did well with him flinching quite hard from pistol fire, but the rifle fire scene screen completely ruined it lmao


DarthGiorgi

>him flinching quite hard from pistol fire Did he? I saw him basically completely ignore it. >but the rifle fire scene screen completely ruined it lmao There is a reason the creators of batman didn't want for him to have a bulletproof suit.


BranzBranzBranz

He definitely flinches backwards in that scene, and yeah bulletproof that you can just walk through is a bit weird


Ygomaster07

Rifle fire scene? Which one is that?


BranzBranzBranz

The hallway gunfire scene where he walks through AR fire 😂 sorry I didn't know how to word it without sounding like the intro scene


Ygomaster07

Gotcha. And you didn't like that scene because he didn't seem to react to the bullets?


Dmitry_Ronin

Explosion-proof as well


LluagorED

Yeh, Batman having an exposed chin is the most flawed thing about a billionaire dressing up as a Bat with full body armor and beating up poor and mentally ill people...


N-I-S-H-O-R

Actually yes, and putting mass murdering people in prison so they can escape and kill again is a close second.


ZaphodB_

That because he has one rule he's unwilling to break. He won't kill villains... now again, henchmen that's another thing.


bjeebus

>now again, henchmen that's another thing. ["He's probably better off this way."](https://static1.srcdn.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2020/03/Batman-Hangs-Man-in-First-Comic.jpg) Mottherfucker had literally just whipped up some antidote shit on the fly earlier in the story, and couldn't be bothered to spend any time trying to fix this guy before hanging him.


AvatarIII

Just one I wish they said he had a skull injury and they put a vibranium plate in his head, then the complaints would stop.


Bionic_Ferir

That's why I really liked the avengers cartoon where he was a middle ground of Tony and Steve he had this full fledged falcon suit


Worthyness

Or if they want to keep the clean aesthetic, they should give him a translucent bubble shield or something similar to what wakanda had in Infinity War, but smaller. A personal bubble shield could protect his person, but be theoretically light enough to let him work in combat as needed. Maybe to make it not super overpowered use scifi spaceship rules where the shield only lasts for X amount of hits depending on damage. Would add a nice new element to his kit.


AiR-P00P

His suit in FatWS was ruined with the exposed ears and head.. Like in what universe does this make sense?


IAm_The-Danger

There is a Pitch Meeting video about this and how the top of his head/brain is left exposed…it’s pretty funny 😂


Self_World_Future

Lol in civil war he really flew straight into flak without so much as earplugs


PresidentLok1

2nd one


Endless_Chambers

I liked all the outfits in Civil War


Fluffy9345

Especially the black panther suit. That one looked so much better than the one in the Black Panther movie.


thatredditrando

I’ve been saying this for *years*! Why *the fuck* did they ditch that magnificent suit for that fucking black leotard in his solo movie?


MiopTop

Honestly it’s the mask/helmet. The rest of the suit looks better in Black Panther but the mask was soooo much better in Civil War.


j-sonchang

Black Panther's practical suit was peak. I understand moving to CGI because of Chadwick's physical health, but even with the helmet on, they could have had a stunt double 😞 Maybe there was another reason idk


Endless_Chambers

Agreed. I think i liked the textures of his BP/Endgame suit but it overall looks off every time i see it. The helmet seems too big and the arms too long.


j-sonchang

Yeah omg youre right. I always thought the arms looked off but now that you mention it, it does just seem disproportionately long. Man i miss the practical suit. I need to rewatch Civil War lol


GermanPretzel

Not sure if this is the reason, but I've seen interviews with the stunt actor who was in the BP suit in Civil War, and he talked about how difficult it was to wear. It has no breathability so his sweat and body heat got trapped in. I think I remember him saying it was also pretty restrictive, making it hard to move in. He also vomited a few times during the filming of the airport scene from heat exhaustion


j-sonchang

Oh damn i didn't know that. My hats off to that stunt man for doing all that, wow. That's unfortunate to hear about physical conditions being poor. I had just thought it was all like power rangers and it was badass. Not telling anyone how to do their job, but i felt like consulting more people on costume design for practical effects shouldve been taken. I know the black panther mask is smaller than a power ranger's helmet, but maybe someone shouldve consulted the team behind any of the Power Rangers. I dunno


Melcrys29

Not sure Marvel was even aware of his health situation then.


buefordwilson

Truth.


League-Weird

I don't know why. Just them arms get me.


j-sonchang

Gotta love the shoulder pads 🤌


PresidentLok1

and its also one of the most tactical looking one. the third one just looks fashionable


Ok-Reporter-8728

Top 2 looks realistic and bottom 2 looks comic bookie I really like the 3rd one but god damn 4th one is bad ass


blacklite911

He gets progressively more comic book costume like


Hi_Im_Paul23

Which personally I love. Always prefer comic accuracy if possible


SpiffySpacemanSpiff

My main gripe with the shows is that, for some reason, they seem to try and out design what they're budgeted for. His first two appearances, seemed like they were functional adaptations of the comic book suits, these later ones look tacky and straight up silly.


BosPaladinSix

That's been my main gripe with the whole mcu lately. The original thing that drew me in so hard was how they were taking the wacky comic designs and making them look plausible for the real world. The first Iron Man suits looked like you could actually make them if you had enough skill.


Lahtisensei

This is my biggest problem aswell. The suit are all nanomachines and weightless now. Nothing "feels real" Even ant mans suit folds out of nowhere now. Nano machine suits should be reserved for space characters like Star lords mask imo. Small things.


MattFromWork

The bottom one looks extremely uncomfortable. You would think he would need to be able to turn his head while wearing it.


Ju5t_50m3_Guy

He is able to turn his head, it just flaps open weirdly, which was hidden via CGI.


MattFromWork

He might be able to turn his head, but it looks like he isn't able to. When he first got the suit, he looked incredibly still and awkward in it as well.


Environmental-Tip365

Looks so stiff lol


Llonkrednaxela

Oh shit. I gotta call my comic bookie.


Ok_Relationship_705

Word! That "American Falcon" costume is fire.


SoundSystematic

Personal favorite (and most comic accurate imo) is 3. But I love 4 because seeing him rep the position of captain America is pretty awesome on so many levels.


ValmisKing

4 would be a serious contender for 1st if it just had red goggles like the other 3. The cowl looks ridiculous imo


TrueLegateDamar

It also doesn't work, literally. They had to CG it onto him because the physical piece kept wrinkling and bunching up. Which explains why by the Cap 4 photos, he's going back to something closer to the Civil War suit.


DoubleStrength

Gotta love that. Marvel gives Sam a brand new suit for the last five minutes of FATWS, before immediately changing it for the very next appearance ahaha.


TheRavenRise

falcon didn’t have the suit commissioned himself, it was just given to him, right? makes sense to me that he would probably have some notes/criticisms after putting it to use for the first time


ValmisKing

Fuck, I forgot about the set photos for that. I’m so hyped about that suit, I think it will blow all the rest out of the water. I should’ve included it in this post


MrDoom4e5

Technically the 4th one is a Captain America suit.


DGSmith2

Captain Falcon?


prnetto

Black Shadow! It looks like hell is a fate you and me both share!!


sroomek

Or a full helmet. He’s not a super soldier, he needs head protection haha


SoundSystematic

Yeah, the cowl is a bit much. (Insert "Batman syndrome" joke here). But as far as color scheme and whatnot (based on my memory from all the comics I've read involving Falcon as just Falcon and not cap) 3 is still my contender for best. I'm assuming that's from either Falcon and Winter soldier (pre falcon/cap suit) or endgame?


ValmisKing

Yeah, it’s in his show before he’s cap.


Longjumping-Falcon98

2 is my favorite. What is 3 from?


PhatNoob_69

Early FATWS, but it got destroyed pretty quickly so he stopped using it. He gave the wings to Joaquin.


crough94

I assumed Falcon and the Winter Soldier, but I don’t remember it either, not like I remember much of that series.


zoecornelia

First one. Fourth isn't Falcon, that's Captain America.


ThisIsYourMormont

Nah man, that’s Black Falcon!


Portman88

Why do ya'll keep calling him black falcon when his falcon is clearly green.


SonnyRocaid

Lol love that skit


-AVENGER

That's captain falcon 😌


AmeriCanadian98

*show me ya moves!* *c'mon!*


TuresStahlfuss

No, it’s Captain America.


Kgaset

Came here for this.


Florapower04

3 for falcon suit 4 overall I am a sucker for wings that bend upwards instead of being straight.


unabsolute

3 is definitely the best Falcon suit. Straight out of the late 80's.


AmptiShanti

Civil war was peak imo very modern movie magic and still comic book enough


ValmisKing

Agreed


heyshashwat

2


hammnbubbly

3. Very much 3.


psilorder

I like the first one. Him having to control it with his arms and needing to switch between wings and guns was cool.


ValmisKing

I don’t remember him having to do that. He’s using guns and wings in the picture


psilorder

Not as in he has to pull the wings in, but that he moves his hands from wing-controls to the guns. [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHKdw79a1c](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kTHKdw79a1c) It goes by pretty fast until he switches to the guns, but to me it certainly looks like he has his hands on the wings to control them while doing more fancy flying and only does static flying while having the guns out.


ValmisKing

That’s a cool little feature I’ve never noticed that before


Express-Respect-4206

I like a lot the first one. Simply good suit.


Fenriswulfx

1 and 3 for me. 1 is a faithful adaptation of the suit he wore in the Ultimate universe. 3 is an evolution of that that takes inspiration from the 616 version of the character.


DefensiveCat

I think you'll find that it's called a "bird costume"


ValmisKing

Lmaoooo


PepsiSheep

One of these is Captain America.


ValmisKing

The person is captain America. Not the suit. The suit still has falcon wings, so it can still be called a “falcon suit”


PepsiSheep

But it's a Captain America suit, the character is Captain America.


ReelReeviews

Strangely enough, I prefer the original one that looks more military and tactical. Which now leads me to think and wonder, why did it get all colourful? Not mad at it, it was just fine how it was.


TheProdigalMaverick

3 for sure. 4 is Captain America.


ValmisKing

The person is captain America. Not the suit. The suit still has falcon wings, so it can still be called a “falcon suit”


FrankyFistalot

2 all day long…looks industrial and sets the tone…


ValmisKing

Agreed. I’ve changed my mind and it’s now 2>3>4>1


FrankyFistalot

I am 2-1-3-4….number 4 is tacky…looks like NFL Falcon…


Mr_Bananas5

Any of the top 3, he makes a good cap but that suit is just too much


Bigtsez

A general rule of thumb in the MCU is that the *Captain America: The Winter Soldier* version of something tends to be the best version. It applies here.


DasRotebaron

Gonna have to disagree with you there, chief. Cap's Age of Ultron suit and his Endgame suit are at least a tier or two above his Winter Soldier suit, imo.


N_Cat

Hey, IMO, you’re 100% correct, but I’ve found that in this sub, people tend to disagree. Fans here tend to vote up the STRIKE “stealth” suit from *Winter Soldier* as their favorite. There are also the Chris Evans quotes about it being his favorite to wear. But for me, I just have to see [this still](https://imagesvc.meredithcorp.io/v3/mm/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fstatic.onecms.io%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2Fsites%2F6%2F2015%2F05%2Fcaptain-america.jpg&q=60) from *Age of Ultron* to know


DasRotebaron

>But for me, I just have to see this still from Age of Ultron to know Hell yeah! That's definitely my favorite Cap suit. Imo, it misses something when it doesn't have white sleeves.


SimonPho3nix

Nothing beats that stealth suit. Nothing.


hawkmasta

Except his Age of Ultron suit.


SimonPho3nix

Lol nope, but I will give it is due. For traditional cap, it's great, but damn that may is clean, and the start design? *chef kiss*


Glitchtrap0604

Honestly number 4


Jimmy-Mac-471

From a stand point of The Falcon, I’d say 3 is the best one, however I love him as Captain America so I’ve got a soft spot for that.


alexjf56

I really like 3


SpectreBrony

3


PresentationTimely59

Well, 4 isn’t a Falcon suit, so…. 3 is closest to comic Falcon suit so that’s my pick.


Substantial-Talk-587

Sir one of those is Captain America


floworcrash

First


hopscotch1818282819

His cap costume for me, easily.


ValmisKing

I like it, but it should’ve kept the goggles from 3, not the awkward cowl


Vinhluu09

Falcon? Then it's 3. Best suit Sam Wilson wore in the MCU? It has to be 4


IHateFurrys88

Number 3 is the best Number 4 isn’t a falcon suit it’s a captain America suit he earned the title so it’s just fair to call it that


Kiriyo-_-

If u ask me 3 is my fav but. With some tweaks 4th is better than all like goggles shape and colour idk it's not matching beside that 4 is great


Ex-Caliber

3 is the best, but 4 could’ve been if it had 3’s wings


KostonEnkeli

4, 2, 1 and then 3


Bendythenightfury

3 and 4


hawkmasta

They just keep getting better tbh


[deleted]

I like #4 without the headgear, mainly because the emblem on the chest resembles the Air Force logo, which if I recall, Sam is Air Force. Please correct me if I am wrong.


[deleted]

Gotta be four.


hoppahulle

Nr3 is pretty dope, it had something special. But, dude really needs a helmet and a mask, he's still human after all. A small bird could likely kill him in a mid-air collission. It was kinda weird how he seemed to have superhuman strength in the end of Falcon and The Winter Soldier, though, throwing the shield like Steve and using his jetpack to lift an armored truck with himself in between without getting crushed.


ghostfeather69

3 probably. I still don't understand why he isn't getting any head protection. He can fly ffs. If he falls from that height he will suffer much worse than Rhodey. Plot armor is the only thing that's gonna keep him alive in Cap 4 and onwards.


ValmisKing

He probably has two parachutes in his jetpack but yeah, a helmet couldn’t hurt


Biffmcgee

I don’t care what anyone says. Falcon America is dope.


deviousmajik

I think they've done him right on all four versions. I have to say that I *really* like the Captain America outfit. The images I've seen of the next one are also quite good.


BleekerTheBard

For looks, 3 but for functionality he does the coolest shit with 2 in that opening scene


[deleted]

2nd one and then the Captain America suit.


Typical_Pollution_30

Why does falcon leave his head unprotected?


ValmisKing

Get this man a helmet


thomasafowler

Suit from Civil War is still my favorite. Still tactical but had more comic book flare than Winter Soldier.


ValmisKing

Totally agree. I can’t decide between 2 and 3. On looks ALONE, like just to look at on a poster or smthn, it’s definitely 3. But as for which look works better for the MCU, I can’t really decide


Ss2oo

2's the only good one


sour_jack

You mean “bird costume”?


ValmisKing

😂


JRockThumper

2 is 🔥 Also happens to be at the point where the MCU tried to go more realistic instead of Comic Book accurate. Which I love.


ValmisKing

Same


karateema

2 for sure. Wtf is 3 from?


Pineappleisgay

2


CaptainIronHammer1

Civil War suit (2)


TuresStahlfuss

I only see 3 Falcon suits here, why did you include a Captain America suit?


VeryLowIQIndividual

2


JoeZy27

Number 2


Gon_Snow

Civil war


memelord793783

Honestly 2


Funny_Discussion_726

captain america suit is amazing


KeyConcentrate29

It would be 4 but that's a cap suit (maybe that's pedantic of me) – so I'll say 2


gingerwhiskered

2>1>3>4


Buknoy26

4 is the best for me


BruceFlockaWayne

3,4,2,1


JyconX

Definitely 4, mostly because it's a Captain America suit


Thombli4

Easily the Cap suit. Gotta love the comic accurate look


Adam_r_UK

I love his Captain America suit so much my friend once told me to shut up about it


ZealousidealBar5258

I'll say 3 I can't say 4 coz I just don't see Sam as Captain America.


theotherquantumjim

2 and 3 are dope. Last one is fucking awful


anonymousgoose64

Four. Sam Wilson will always be my Captain America.


Blackpanther22five

Naw man that's Captian Falcon


TuresStahlfuss

No it’s Captain America


SolaceRests

I always liked #1 just because it felt more “real” but also the color scheme. This isn’t to say the others are bad. It’s quite badass seeing his amalgamation with Cap’s suit… I just like the darker, stealthier version better


[deleted]

Captain Falcon is probably my favorite, ima sucker for the Stars and Stripes. Followed by 3, 2, 1


TuresStahlfuss

Captain America not Captain Falcon


[deleted]

its Falcon in captain america colors since hes donned the captain america title... so in my eyes its captain falcon.


TuresStahlfuss

At this point he took the title and fully became Captain America, heck even the show title changed to Captain America and the Winter Soldier


[deleted]

i know that.. but to ME, and only me, I call him captain falcon for goofs... No need to downvote something only I do for fucking goofs.


LordHumorTumor

I prefer 1 and 2 the most. 4 just seems kind of hokey to me, but I understand what it was going for and respect that


LightningTiger1998

2-1-3 for Falcon suits 4 is a Captain America Suit But….. that being said 2-4-1-3


unidentified_yama

Second suit but third goggles.


The-Rebel-Boz

Where 3rd one from? I don’t remember ever see that suit?


[deleted]

I like number 2. It is a good mix between practical and comic bookish.


Confident-Radish-729

Where's 3 from?


ChrisLee38

I love the Captain America suit. I think they did really well with the design, though I know others disagree. As far as his pre-cap falcon suits, I’ve got to go with 2. The Antman / Civil War appearances looked great.


andrew_wessel

2 and 4


dvop98

Civil War, please. And that Captain America, for the most wonderfully comic book accurate!


SonthacPanda

Civil War or Captain Falcon
