Some day, someone in Hollywood will realize that stupid trendy haircuts on male characters (at least those characters that aren't slaves to teen-pop-culture as part of their personality) are a bad thing that dates their movies horribly.

 

Unless he's going all Flock of Seagulls because it's set in the 80's, in which case it's a lame characterization of Nightcrawler on par with the Sony Exec that wanted Spidey to be a tuff-muddin, EDM listening, snapchat-ing pop culture cliché. But at least would make sense.

Agreed...

I'm not digging the look, but as always, I will give it a chance.

 

Nightcrawler in X2 was fantastic to me, looks and powers wise.

When he took out all of the Secret Service detail and was about to take out the President, I was just sitting there in shock how much they nailed that character. Outstanding!

...and then he spoke, and the magic disappeared with a *bamf*.

The sad thing is that they didn't even need to make costumes or hit up vintage stores. They just went to the regular mall & bought the 80's retro junk that passes for fashion today.

 

TIGHTS AREN'T PANTS!

 

Sorry... I have a pet peeve about that.
