Why?

The black variant.

>>149006289
Black comes across as more powerful and aggressive compared to white.

>>149006289
Whats the middle?

>>149006285 (OP)
I know! and why do white people always look so fucking dumb

>>149006297
Why? Is it because culture, because evolution (fear of the night) or both?

Every time you see an enemy solider or henchman in white it's copying Stormtroopers, every time you see a Stormtrooper in black someone has shitty taste.

>>149006393
Partially agree, but being iconic =/= good.

Stormtrooper could still be iconic and actually useful, but directors, writers and custom designers just refuse to have logical villains.

Is that what they make you scream out from your cage?

Tell me why they also hate purple?
Every time a villain has some purple in his or her design, most of the time it's either heavily downplayed or replaced with black entirely. You see that with capeshit villains all the time.
Joker can get away with it because his design is generally too iconic to fuck with too hard.

>>149006364
Visual shorthand. Black is actually fairly noticeable in low light conditions because of both how light and our eyes work.

>>149006418
That's not an issue of color though.

>>149006492
>Black is actually fairly noticeable in low light conditions
In those shows, black armored soldiers appear in many high light scenes.

>That's not an issue of color though.
I know, I was just saying that besides the color, the armor could still being iconic and useful.

>>149006487
>Tell me why they also hate purple?
Schizo theory:
>purple was the color of the Olympian Gods
>Zeus has purple eyes
>"born in purple" comes from this
>Zeus is the Father of the White Race
>hook-nose tribe in Hollywood hate Zeus and its progeny
>make white and purple colors of evilness

Also, it's funny how George Lucas was a Kurosawa-weaboo and he refused to made Star Wars colorful ("muh space nazi empire must be lame af"; only exception the Emperor's Royal Guard), despite Kurosawa's films (minus the black & white ones) are full of color.

And now we have to suffer the black-white villain's color pattern dichotomy in every single mainstream franchise.

>Made-In-Earth suit is more protective than armor created by a 25k years old space civilization
Kek.

Unironically, Stormtroopers would look better with "Marvel one-piece suits" (the comic versions, not the CGI-slop) than their current plastic armors.

ST armor is white because colors would have cost extra.

>its no longer 1977

>>149006364
Partially, but it's also like, gunmetal, the Black Knight, biker jackets.
Meanwhile, we associate white clothing with doctor's labcoats, ancient robes, office building interiors.
You even see it with how we view certain animals, an big cat with albino fur is "majestic" but one with black fur (which is typically caused by a gene producing excess testosterone to be fair) is "ferocious".
Also, look at actual militia in the modern day. The US Navy these days wears darker clothing on the job but the typical image of a ceremony has them in those finely pressed white suits.
It's not even white vs black, it's white vs darker colors in general.

>>149006487
Because purple isn't particularly threatening color unless you really work it in.
It's scientifically proven to be the most calming color and has to be paired very carefully which is why you see it often contrasted to green because that's the one that's proven to consistently work.
Culturally it's always been associated not only with wealth but with regality.
Plus, aside from maybe a few poisonous animals or plants, try naming some instances where you associate "purple" with deadly.
Red is our blood, black makes us think of the night when we can't see, grey has the metal of weapons, and while black/brown/grey/tan can all be the fur/hide of a particularly large and deadly animal.

Have you SEEN the prequels? Theyre Vividly colorful. Disney wars is bland and colorless like anbore

>>149006285 (OP)
White is formal wear that is hard to maintain. One spill or speck of a stain and it's nearly ruined. Black is hard to mess up, easily obfuscates, blends together, and is better in combat situations when one wants to remain hard to see.

>>149007891
>Culturally it's always been associated not only with wealth but with regality.
Which helps to signify the power a villain holds. Makes them stand out compared to forgettable henchmen associated with less vivid colors.
Considering how many villains are rich and powerful, it's surprising that color scheme is not used very often.
One of my favorite examples was on Xena. The demon king was dressed in all purple, but as a kid I thought he was probably the single scariest villain in the series, regardless.

Literally the only time one of these guys was allowed to be cool

Gotta clean white more and it stands out like a sore thumb unless you are on a snowfield in terms of combat.

>Stormtrooper could still be iconic and actually useful
In the original films the Stormtroopers are useful until Ewoks start defeating them with slapstick comedy in the third film (and that isn't even for the whole battle, just the end).

Good luck trying to hide at night when dressed in white.

>>149006285 (OP)
White uniforms are seen as fictional and unpractical
Black uniforms Invoke realistic camouflage military wear

Really, its just cause insecure faggots can't accept theyre watching inherently fictitious works so they need to disguise it in as much bland realism to feel justified seeing gay squeaky dorks shoot at monks with light swords.

>>149008087
That's just it though, anon, you typically use reserve purple for these more regal or money-based villains who command
their forces or rig the game in their own favor. But for most other types of villains, other color schemes just work better

>>149007987
>easily obfuscates, blends together, and is better in combat situations when one wants to remain hard to see.
No. Black is a dead giveaway for silhouettes and hard to blend because true black is very rare in nature. If you want to remain hard to see in combat you use regular camouflage. The guys in your pic are wearing commercially available dry suits for environmental reasons.
