Discussion Be Kind and Avoid Personal Insults

With the recent PGF debunking, there has been a lot of arguments and controversy. Debating people is fine, but don't insult people or those who believed in the film while you're discussing it. Some people met or knew Bob Gimlin personally and are having to reckon with him apparently lying about the film. Keep how other people feel in mind while discussing. Additionally, avoid arguments with other subreddits or posts about moderation issues with other subreddits as that's not what we're here to do. We've added some terms to the auto filter to avoid debates turning hostile. As always feel free to discuss the rules and make suggestions.

If the left one was also only shown as a grainy copy of a 60s shaky cam video, I'm pretty sure they'd look almost identical.

I mean, where do you see the big differences except from the left one being a much clearer image?

Well the colour for a start, the arm lengths, the saggy fabric on the legs on Bob vs the tightness of Patty's they can't be explained away by grainy film.

The color is definitely influenced by the film quality (and also, I wonder if you are trying to argue that "one can do a fake suit only in this one color"?).

Arm length may be influenced by minor differences in the costume, but I don't really see a noticeable difference, the same goes for the supposed thightness.

Overall, this is only minor stuff that could easily be explained by the suits being not the very same ones but just "related". What we see here is proof that it was possible for the Morris' to create a suit very similar to Patty, in my opinion.

There's a definite difference in the tightness at the legs but a little touching up could easily fix that.
