To be honest I think it looks cool! Why not? Bring back the armor, capes and/or swords!

I imagine plate armor is uncomfortable as fuck… Capes are dope though, but I can imagine them getting caught in various things causing fatal accidents (escalators, revolving doors, moving trains, etc.)

Its not difficult to engineer a bit of safety into a cape. The clasps holding the cape around your neck/on your body can be designed to have a low breakaway strength to prevent strangulation(150N is a typical force). This is a feature designed into most safety helmets. Its secure enough to never fall off unintentionally, but weak enough that it removes the risk of strangulation.

This is literally what capes were like. The world was even more dangerous back then and the human brain hasn’t received any upgrades since capes went out of fashion :)

Zendaya switched to a dress after the red carpet walk, so you are probably right about the comfortability

I feel like that photo really doesn’t capture the oddity of that get-up, though it does feel “Dune-ish”:

More David Lynch Dune than Denis Villeneuve Dune.

Yeah, it looks better from the other angle but more Dune-ish from this one IMO

Yes, both Zendaya’s dress and C3PO were designed to look like Maria, the robot in Metropolis.

Leave her alone. She just wanted to feel closer to her idol Swen Vincke.

As far as idols go, the head of what seems to be the only ethical major developer/publisher of video games left isn’t the WORST choice 🤷
