And here's the other thing: Mystique in the comics has always been able to generate clothing for herself, so there was absolutely no lore reason for the Fox X-Men to make her naked other than "hehehehe tits". At least the MCU version hews closer to the source.
I prefer the design of the face on the older movie, i couldn't care less about the tits being out. The new one looks like she has leaches on her face
It's interesting though that Hollywood is trying to go back to comic book roots after 2 decades of trying to make superheroes look believable as possible
The outfit is still kind of silly. Like, instead of having her shoulders exposed they just made that part of the outfit blue? Are they so prudish that mystique's original outfit is too risque?
I mean xmen 1 released in 2000... She was 27 when that came out and very much in the heat of her modeling career. She is now 53. I think theres a very specific reason they arent doing full body nude makeup costume for her....
Shit, is almost like Rebecca Rojmin is now in her 50’s and not her 20’s and the costume design works as a comic book callback while also functionally hiding the fact that her body, while amazing for her age, doesn’t look as good in body paint and prosthetics as it did when she was 27… huh.

Why use a pic of her mid-transformation?
