seriousficThis is a truly badass Barda.
You know, if they ever made a Fourth World movie, they wouldn't have to change Barda's costume at all. I can accept that, at best, you'd get Scott doing his magic act in costume and then for the rest of the movie he'd be in jeans and a T-shirt (which would actually be better than him being in a generic black leather outfit, because Scott's the kind of character that would get caught up in an epic battle for the fate of the universe while wearing sneakers and a plain white tee). Plus, how adorable would it be if Scott and Barda had a PG-13 kinda love scene and we faded to them wrapped up in Barda's cape? It'd be too cute. You'd have to throw in some puppies to the next scene to help ease the audience down from that cuteness.
Capes and cuddling, movie people. That's all you need for me to be happy.
ETA: For the record, Jack Kirby intended Barda to look like this, physically. So I guess these days they would cast... Cobie Smulders? Throw in a sparring scene with BridgetRegan!Wondy and I promise you, I will personally slap every American who doesn't buy a ticket.
