BEHOLD: THE RED SKULL

I've been looking at it all day.... overall I dig it.

Hugo has the chops to do him justice, me thinks.
(but I worry about the rest of the movie)

HAIL HYDRA!!

mask/make up looks great...

costume is an overdone design-by-commitee and takes the character out of the WWII era. nothing would have been wrong with a Hugo Boss SS uniform and greatcoat.

Still the movie could be great!

I agree about the costume. While I like it, I think it would make a much better Modern Day costume. The film is set in WWII, so put him in the Hugo Boss SS uniform & greatcoat like you said. Just replace the nazi swastika with the hydra logo.

Although I get why they would move away from the Nazi & SS look... it doesn't quite fit into the big marketing machine. I mean, I don't think Marvel Entertainment, Hasbro, etc wouldn't want Nazi Swastikas on Burger King toys and Nazi Flags adorning the toy aisle. I get it.

Overall I'm digging it!

So its the opposite. In the comic he WAS human or all of the Nazis and Wanna-Be Nazis were at one point in time. Minus any issues of self possession and body hopping thanks to the cosmic cube. o dear, o dear...
