7 MCU Costumes That Need To Change

Iron Man's look has remained pretty consistent since his first ever appearance, with that iconic red and gold colour scheme being a mainstay of each different outfit (besides a brief change in Iron Man 2's suitcase suit).

His Infinity War garb followed suit, but the technology on display was far more advanced than anything we'd seen in the MCU before.

Why The Costume Needs To Change: This Infinity War costume definitely looked cool, and its functionality proved useful on several different occasions.

But at this point, the abilities of Tony's suits are so wildly fantastical that they're starting to border on magic, and not technology; the nanotech, the bulky shield he can instantly generate, the blast cannons that can detach from his armour and float in the air, both his legs joining together to form a rocket booster. Hell, he even blocked a beam from the damn Power Stone. It's like an overpowered kids toy.

It doesn't help that we never actually see Tony build any of these suits onscreen, something we got a lot of in the first movie. Those initial suits had a tangible, metallic feel, something accentuated by the many bullet marks and damage scars they'd acquire. The Infinity War suit looks too sleek, shiny and fake, even when it's been battered. It could just be a CGI issue, but the suit seems too pristine to feel real.

The point of Tony as a character is that he has no powers; instead, he must use his smarts to build suits with limited skillsets, cleverly applying these skills in battle to help him overcome each opponent. Right now, he has the perfect power for every situation and he can face any enemy of any size and give them a run for their money.

Tony is very clever, sure, and his suits need to change as he constantly iterates on them, but this one just went a little too far.
