Don't get rid of the most defining characteristic of a character, essentially.
Some of these resets are personality or looks wise and not just heel turns.
Same. And, in a world of historically skin-tight costumes that look as if they were painted onto naked bodies, I don't personally get the "cheesecake" complaint. Then again, I'm old so I cede this point, and really almost every point, to the next generation. Truly.
As time moves on, so do basic values and they almost always evolve to make for a better world. The elder generation to which I belong is almost always hanging on to quickly antiquating ideas about what's okay and what's not, and treating young people's ideas of such things, even young people in their 20s and 30s, dismissively.
So, to complain or argue or stand my ground about such things ("cheesecake," etc.) would be to join those parents that think their children's music and morals are stupid, naive, garbage, or even dangerous. As it was with so many fifty-somethings, I had my turn--even GenX resulted in progress on many important fronts--and I'm not going to be part of the problem like every generation before me.
"We too shall become solemn, fat and Ubu-like and shall publish extremely classical books which will probably lead to our becoming mayors of small towns where, when we become academicians, the firemen will present us with Sevres vases, while they present their moustaches on velvet cushions to our children. And another lot of young people will appear, and consider us completely out of date, and they will write ballads to express their loathing of us, and there is no reasons why this should ever end." - Alfred Jarry
But I really came here to read and talk about Infinity Inc. and the JSA and was disappointed that this thread turned out to be one about boob windows.
Also, I'm pretty sure that this is the first time that the original Infinity Inc. has been in continuity since COIE. For that reason and many others, I am just loving the new, everything-happened DC.
Same .
Oh no, I totally get that (I think even Melissa Benoist liked the old costume in-spite of that which is why she was fine wearing it for so long). I only take issue when it seems like some kind of movement to force Supergirl to wear pants instead of a skirt in general.The whole Supergirl pants thing makes sense particularly when you consider it was filmed in Toronto and the actress was likely freezing all the time.
About Chase... Was she rescued by X-Track, maybe?

Someone (was it actually you? Not sure) recently said that it's not about the design, but the artists. I'm sure there wouldn't have been as many people happy to see her get pants on the show if there hadn't been so many artists in the comics drawing her skirt flying up all the time, flashing underwear.
Or maybe that shouldn't be her most defining characteristic?
Yeah, but...like her skirt costume on the show was pretty tasteful though.
I think you're thinking of her late Post-Crisis costume with the super short skirt (although I think she also wore actual shorts with that one, but I'm not sure if that was always consistent). When they adapted the show look for the comics I don't think there were any panty shots.
Well, at this point it kind of is for better or worse, just like Catwoman wearing skintight black leather.Or maybe that shouldn't be her most defining characteristic?
I have to admit, it does sound a bit weird when bunch of men talk about sex positive female costumes.
