As comics are slowly starting to get out of it's social justice phase, what with DC Rebirth underway and Marvel recently announcing they're planning on being less political, a lot of the Current Year costumes are no doubt going to be reverted too.
A character changing their costume either to fit alongside a social justice narrative or just to generally ring in a new era is usually met with chagrin, but I have an honest question. Were any of them good to begin with or even better than the original?
Ayden Bell
Of fucking course they changed her costume to be like the show. I never liked Elektra anyway.
More on topic, I don't really think there was a good suit change that was made because of SJW narrative pushing. Plenty of good ones that are just new updates on previous looks. I liked Moon Knight's new personality as Mr. Knight.
Levi Jones
I think Mr. Knight was the most stand out one to me. I'm not too familiar on Moon Knight, so take this as a lame opinion, but regular Moon Knight seemed kinda generic to me. I much prefer the suit.
Gavin Allen
Not really, no. They all looked too generic, like dancer bodysuits that are too baggy.
Austin Hill
Eh, its alright

Are you out of your mind? The big 2 aren't going to stop with that any time soon, DC is just doing it in a way that's good. There have been popular minority and female characters for years, because they don't just give them a new book and plaster "#1" or "IT ALL STARTS HERE" on it. You need to introduce them in other books, and then if they're popular enough give them their own thing. The only character I can think of that DC has done the "#1" thing with is Kenan Kong, and he's been pretty popular so far because they're characterizing him. And that's all characters really need. You just have to want to buy the next issue because you're invested in the story.
But that said, why do you care about this? There will always be bad books, just don't read them. If one of the big 2 is making only shit, then just don't read any of their books. DC was doing it from 2011 to 2016, and now it looks like it's marvel's turn to take a little vacation in the garbage. It's a colossal waste of time to spend hours of your life bitching about bad comics that you pirate.
You can also expect to be disappointed if you think any comic book company is going to start pandering to the right just because Trump won. It's just not going to happen.

Agreed and that's coming from someone who likes Moon Knight's regular look.
It's really one of the few costume redesigns that comes to mind that I like. It's by no means amazing though.

Bad redesign thread? Can't miss the chance to insult this abomination.
This was from 2010, yet already looks decades out of date. It's particularly bad if you compare it to the costume she's had since her debut in the early 80s (pic 2), which still works with only minor alterations (pic 3).
