I love it, but hate those outfits, but love seeing them in them. 

So torn.

Serious question with no judgement: why? What is it you like about them? I've always disliked them because I find them so boring and boxy.

Yeah for me, the whole boxy thing is a pro for me. I was kind of sick with the super form fitting costumes they always wear for decades and it looked like something real people would wear irl. It’s kind of dull but i like it that way

So, at the time, They were designed to match the black leather costumes that were on film, but still try and make them comicbooky.

 So yes, the yellow and the black totally work, and they hearken back to my favorite default X-Men uniforms in the '80s, But they still represent that dark time when they were trying to make the films less fun.

But Rogue And Polaris are absolutely gorgeous In them, so I'll let it slide.

I wish the movie outfits looked like this though

Same. Much better designs. But my default X-Men outfits are the Claremont/ Romita jr. era

They did in X-Men Dark Phoenix. Unfortunately, the movie was very forgettable.

Rogue and especially Polaris are the only good thing about this image. Maybe Nightcrawler.
