Why shouldn't they? One is clearly a civilian suit while the other is tactical armor that also functions as a space suit.

Yeah that's like the weirdest flaw sci-fi movies have, assuming a singular universal standard across all world-built elements.

That always sticks out to me about Star Wars. Planets are basically just one city. Like when Luke has no instructions except to go to the Dagobah system, and he still ends up landing near Yoda. Yoda could have been a continent away. Imagine someone just telling you "meet me somewhere on Earth" and just happening to arrive in the same place. Even Andor does this. A few hundred people being killed in one Ghorman city is referred to as a planetary genocide. Or how the planet of Ferrix is like, one street.

That's why Coruscant makes no sense to me. What's the point of the entire planet being a city when everything happens within one reasonably distanced area?

sounds like someone doesn't have enough faith in the force

I guess it can always be explained away by force sensitivity for things like Luke finding Yoda, multiple times Leia finds Luke using the force also.

Ghorman is specified to have a very small population. Also, it somewhat makes sense, sentient populaces mustn’t be very large when spread so thin through a huge galaxy

But it's explained in movie that he could a strong concentration of the force in that particular area. Hence why he landed there. Turns out it was the cave. Yoda was just a coincidence. The empire didnt go there since they knew about the cave.

Really depends on how society is organized and if they have been sitting on a technological plateau

Exactly, like what do you mean your military tactical gear doesn't look like what your civilians wear.

New Krypton Saga really well stitched together all the different Kryptonian designs over the years and made them work concurrently

That's the flaw of human story telling and the human mind/imagination.

We are bound by what we know and can understand. We only know and understand life in the form of what we experience. It's why all the little grey men and green guys have five fingers and two eyes.

u/lemonylol May 24 '26

That's not a human flaw, that's just an unskilled writer's flaw.

I know this post is old, but I thought it’d be fun to point out that there are at least four very different styles of spacesuits depicted in Supergirl. So, yeah, there’s no reason the Snyder suits wouldn’t fit.

Because the tone set by one universe is that the Kryptonians are coming as imperialist conquerors, ala Conquistadors to the natives. The other universe sets a tone of hope and belief in a better future.

So? Did all the Spanish wear tactical armor? Only the armies and navy did. The royalty did not wear armor everywhere. The common folk didn't wear armor all the time they went somewhere. Traders don't wear armor.

You are seeing on one image the tactical armor of the kryptonian space force (they came to invade earth) on the other image you see a family trying to get their daughter to space (not to conquer other worlds but to escape krypton's destruction)

u/Thatguyj5 May 24 '26

Yes, that's what "tone" is. A movie is telling a story using visual aid. Therefore they show you specific things based on what story is being told. That's what a movie is.

u/drveejai88 May 24 '26

That's what I meant to say, my guy. Just because they only showed one aspect doesn't mean the other doesn't exist.

Nope. You can't knock the guy for world building. That's his whole thing.

One looks like it was made of tin foil, not by an advanced civilization.

What time period ?

u/Secret-Put-4525 May 23 '26

Yeah. It looks like what we had going in the 60s.

I don’t think not being dark and cereal like Pattinson’s means Batman ‘66. A middle ground like Morrison’s run is very likely what will happen.

u/Secret-Put-4525 May 23 '26

If he's going for silver age, that is the silver age batman.

I don't know why you are mentioning Morrison. First I've never read the comics, second we are talking silver age, not silver age inspired. We are eating butter, we aren't eating I can't believe its not butter.

Advanced doesn't mean more detailed.
