I guess the people who make that
Agents of SHIELD TV show have never actually seen the character Deathlok before? I know he's no Spider-Man, but even if they've never, like, read any of the many comics in which the character has appeared before, they can still, like, Google "Deathlok," can't they?
Yeah I thought it was weird too. Looks less like "Deathlok" and more like "Dude with random leftover Iron Man pieces glued to him".
ReplyDeleteReminds me of a smallville costume.
ReplyDeleteHe's in development. The series to date has had him becoming progressively more 'borg, so I'm being patient with the look of the character. I mean, this is the "realistic" Marvel Cinematic Universe where Clint Barton's a black leatherclad gov't assassin. Let's be honest, the fashion sense will likely always be problematic.
ReplyDeleteThey back-doored this Deathlok into the series mythology fairly well, in my opinion: I didn't realize what they were doing until he woke up with an artificial eye, then I began to get excited.
So is Deathlok a console game or a stand-up arcade unit? Looks like he could go either way.
ReplyDeleteNice chestplate; did Deathlok join the Masters of the Universe?
ReplyDeleteDoesn't really say half-zombie/half-robot to me, and I would have never guessed it was supposed to be Deathlok, if it didn't say "Deathlok" right there in the ad.
ReplyDeleteI guess it IS television though, and TV superhero costumes can leave a lot to be desired. Like, isn't Deadshot on ARROW just, like, a guy with an eye-patch...?
Did you see the episode? They showed the character via some sort of scanner and it was like looking at the early 90's version.
