For a long time, people have wondered why the X-Men in the old movies wore all-black leather outfits. It looked cool, but it wasn’t like the comics where they had colorful clothes. Now, the boss of Marvel, Kevin Feige, has finally told us the real reason.
It’s all because of a movie called The Matrix. You know, the one with Keanu Reeves? It was super popular when it came out, and the people who made the X-Men movies thought, “Hey, that black leather look is awesome!
Let’s do that for the X-Men too!”
So, instead of using the colorful outfits from the comics, they decided to put everyone in black leather. It was like copying homework, but with clothes!
Kevin Feige said that the people in charge of the X-Men movies back then were really into The Matrix. They thought it would make the X-Men look cool and modern. But a lot of fans weren’t happy. They wanted to see the X-Men in their classic comic book outfits.
Luckily, things have changed. The new X-Men movies are going back to the comics for inspiration. We’re going to see characters wearing their proper colors and costumes. It’s like the X-Men are finally getting dressed right!
So, there you have it. The black leather X-Men outfits were a big fashion mistake caused by a love for The Matrix. But don’t worry, the future of the X-Men looks much brighter and more colorful.
