Avengers: Infinity War (2018)

You know, Stephen says this to dunk on Tony but it overlooks the fact that the flavor came out, Stephen bought it, then tried it. Like dude (or someone he knows) paid cash money for that. Which means:

1) He did it for the lulz, anticipating that it would suck, but still paid money that went to whatever charity the flavor was supporting so still a win for the purpose of the ice cream or

2) He did it because he thought it would taste good and is now revealing his bitterness that his Stark Raving Hazelnuts fanboy dreams were crushed.

But we’re all sleeping on the fact that not only did Stephen do what op said above, he and Wong also bought a tub of ‘Hunk a Hulk of Burning Fudge’ (or however that’s spelled) and decided they preferred that. Wizard bros trying out Avengers-flavored ice cream between protecting the fabric of reality is incredibly funny.

A little breakdown of the Doctor Strange costume

kialnax:

Because I’m geeking out over the craftsmanship. Now I know people have issues with the whitewashing and I acknowledge those problems. I won’t be able to afford going to the cinema anyway. But I am however, very intrigued by the costume and its design. And as I know a few people who want to cosplay him, I thought; I’d give a hand.

Let’s get started.

image

The cloak is uneven. It’s not a simple half-round cloak or cape like most other superheroes. The left shoulder covers the body, whereas the right one goes back, draping a little less dramatic than Thor’s.

image

The cloak is made of several different fabrics. All these sketches and material guesses are done by Bbeauty Designs. They’ve done a good job at identifying ‘patterns’ and possible fabrics. 

image

Here’s the other side, with identifications. The cloak is recognisable but already a very hard part. if you are going for a very very accurate costume, I wonder if you’ll still be alive after this part. Because the worst is yet to come. But I’ll save that for last. Here is another picture of the cloak and it’s fabrics/various patterns.

image

You’ve probably seen the leather braided belts with rings, probably resin-cast. There’s a set of rings attached to them. Also, the Eye of Agamotto seems to open ‘organically’. I have no pictures of that at the moment.

The boots were identified as Asics by Cumberbuddy, but they probably modified them to become custom boots, wrapped with various fabrics. 

image

The tunic has a lot of pleats. Keep that in mind. While they’re asymmetrical, they’re still very neat and precisely ‘ironed’. Here you can see the uneven cloak again, as well as the asymmetrical tunic. The golden bit on the side, are the two rings, connected together. It’s like a double ring. Don’t know how to explain it. 

image

Here’s a better shot of the rings, as well as the various cloak fabrics. The lining on the inside of the collar seems to be ‘normal’ red fabric, but don’t forget the lining of the actual cloak…

image

Still here? Good, because now we start with a subtle, yet important detail. This is the part where I go “sucks to be them” to the costume designers & makers. Which turn out to be Hawthorne & Heaney. 

image

See this? Yeah? Maybe I need a clearer picture for you.

image

They HAND EMBROIDED that part. Those cross-stitching are hand-embroided on the costume. On this hi-res photo you can see some of them became undone during filming. You can also see it’s not just the trim around the neck down to the belt. It’s across the chest as well.

image

That’s ALL HAND EMBROIDERY AND OH MAN I DO NOT ENVY THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TO DO THAT! Not to mention there is ALWAYS more than one costume. Possibly at LEAST 5 or 6. My hands already hurt at the thought.

image

You can see the range of colours they’ve used as well. It’s not *just* one colour. And it’s uneven too. some of them are ‘missing’. I am assuming this is due to ageing/weathering or at least making it look like it’s ‘lived’ through various ages.

image

More of the stitching/embroidery, as well as a close-up of the clasps that ‘hold’ the cloak in place.

image

And as we’re venturing down to the chest, I might as well add in this pic of the Eye of Agamotto. Here’s a link to the full resolution pic of it.

For a detailed run-down & discussion, where fabrics, props and 3D prints are being discussed, I’d advice you to visit THIS thread on theRPF.

Good luck with your work, cosplayers! I am not doing it, nor am I even attempting anything. I’ve got enough on my plate already 😉

Dr Strange and Tony Stark don’t argue. They debate.

On the doughnut ship there is hostility sure but when Tony explains his thought process Strange listens. Then Tony asks him if he concurs. Nobody asks that in an argument.

And Stange agrees. He trusts Tony’s plan. And this is before the visions.

To draw a parallel the iconic argument Steve and Tony have in Avengers takes place shortly after they meet. The same goes for this scenario. Strange and Tony rly haven’t known eachother that long.

Yet the tones are completely different.

You’d think ‘ego vs ego’ would be a recipe for disaster but they just fit.

Strange trusts Tony after a couple hours in a way Steve never has in the years he’s known him.
