I mean, 99% of the costume is functional so I never really minded it that much and it broke up the purple well. The concept art seemed to have a decent hole cut out. And Kate always made it look good
.
Like, I don't really see what's so nonsensical about it other than exposing skin.
I don't think that was the intention (other than a kind of hilarious byproduct of the design) so much as just conveying a certain sense of style.
Compared to what Kate wore on the show or her current comic outfit it stood out more as a Superhero costume in my opinion. I guess they could always go for something like her OG!Young Avengers costume (exposed torso or not) but I think they sometimes forget that costume exists...
I'd rather they 100% reboot Patsy.
