>>8545127I mean, I get it. It doesn't have to make sense to everyone. For me, Snake Eyes is a kind of off-blue/purple ninja in a visor. While the black has grown on me since, he still needs the visor for me to "get" him as Snake Eyes.
Nostalgia is a powerful drug. Look at all the comic costume variants of like, Wolverine. People NEED the version of the character they remember in their minds from childhood/the best storyline/whatever. As a result, the new Fox-movie version made waves because 2000s people finally got the 'correct' hugh jackman wolverine they grew up with, while 1990s people have had their 'correct' version for a while.
It's like any time I see the ninja turtles with the all-red masks like the original comic had. Something inside me goes "that's not muh team" despite being accurate to the source, that's not accurate to the nostalgia driven cartoon memories I have.
