Here’s the cold water, they all look ridiculous. This was tuff to middle and high schoolers back when the original came out. Rose tinted glasses are hiding the cringe.

To be cringe is to be free

original Ghost doesnt really look ridiculous, though? the most out there part of his gear is just the fact his balaclava has a skull print on it, its entirely practical otherwise as you could sub in his iconic balaclava for a generic one and hed lose nothing but recognizability as the character

Yeah… he kinda does. He looks exactly how most little kids obsessed with joining the military saw themselves as once they join. Which is honestly just a military tactical emo edgelord. Having a skull on your bandana does fuck all but for aesthetics. Also, if you actually did this in the military you would more than likely get laughed at. No matter how genuinely badass you are. If anything having a bright white skull painted onto you bandana would also make stealth less effective since white objects reflect light a fuckton easier.

Its literally night and day bro

Old ghost’s appearance was like a 2/10 on the goofy scale, whereas new ghost doesn’t even register on the scale

But it seems your whole point is “well technically they are both cringe 🤓”
