Why do film directors do this?

Do what?

Remove all color from clothing.

>>212643603 (OP)
Because otherwise you incels would complain about their costumes looking new, clean, and not "lived in".

>>212643603 (OP)
I'm pretty sure it's Lord of the Rings films that cemented "medieval is black and leather". They were huge hits, so everything else follows in their lead.

There's also the idea that bright and colorful costumes are unrealsitic. They don't look macho by our modern day standards.

it's cheaper these days to do black costuming and I suppose it brings out the actor's faces? It would have been outrageously expensive to outfit your army with black clothing and armour in the middle ages, everything was dyed with naturally bright colours in reality.

>The first X-Men movie was released in 2000, while the first Lord of the Rings movie, "The Fellowship of the Ring," was released in 2001.

Better be careful, 3rd worlders love those movies to death and will shittalk you for shittalking on these movies (even though you’re right).

Fear of color is a side-effect of 'homosexuality of the soul.' Modern man is profoundly gay, spiritually speaking.

Now compare with Ridley Scott's Gladiator (2000).

Naw, there is just a look they like on camera (non-committal, boring and inoffensive) and have already outfitted the costume department with plenty of those and that shit is expensive.

I'm pretty sure foreigners watch Snyder's 300 instead, except for maybe the Chinese--those guys do love their Lord of the Rings.

>>212644244
300 is only appealing to homosexuals and women—the film's target audience.

Lord of the Rings were on production way before the release of Singer's X-men. If anything it was a trend that come way before. The Matrix for example also rock that aesthetic of mute colors and black leather costumes but I doubt it was the first one that came up with it.

That is because people have a preconceived idea of how the past must look like. Mainly from museums exhibition with worn out sculptures and attires.

Left is an eyesore, so that's probably why.

Directors don't do shit, it's mainly the producers and DPs for color and lighting that are in charge of creative decisions like that.

Personally, I blame the Protestants.

>>212644651
>Paint everything gray
