I know we’ve talked about the over usage of cgi in the mcu (and how their costumes were cgi’d on) but on the other side of this– the actual costuming. in the avengers ensemble films the characters were never given stylized / personalized outfits. its always just “dress everyone in a solid muted color. to mix it up steve can wear an ugly plaid shirt”
Oh holy shit did I never post the finished blanket from my saga earlier this year
