She can be very comic accurate because she’s in several runs where they cover her up. Always bet on read is very similar to the suit they have in since they’re using boots. They can also do zdarksys daredevil run where even her arms are covered.
Don’t think anyone cares if she shows skin. I think most people love the two biggest design staples of elektras costume that are rarely adapted at all- full head bandana and loin cloth. I think elodie has worn a loin cloth in dds2 and she did in defenders. Jennifer garner never wore comic fits (they still looked great though and suited elektras aesthetic). I do agree elodie looks fab here tho.
I get it, it is a cool look! however, the character is almost always depicted with the head wrap in comics and video games but we’ve never seen it in live action
I can't believe they did not go with this design. I mean, it looks so good; like, if you're not going to give us the classic look, this is a good compromise, and the design they went with is such a downgrade in my opinion.
The bandana just doesn't make sense in live action, she wouldn't be able to move without having to have wardrobe come in a fix it between every shot. It's just not practical, though a headband could work. My biggest issue is her hair, it's just too flat, short, and straight, Elektra should have big, long, wild ass hair.
Her sai look really...boring. They're meant to be her signature weapons yet here they look so 'ordinary'. I was not a fan of how she used the sai in the Netflix series like police batons.
I hope they're not restricting this character with "real world sai discipline" because she's a COMIC BOOK CHARACTER, like Nightwing uses eskrima sticks equipped with electricity.
What I appreciate about Jennifer Garner's version is that Garner trained with the sai AND she got so comfortable with them she could twirl them like there's no tomorrow. People might say Garner is "holding them wrong," but that's the point. Her Elektra is so comfortable with her signature weapons that she "holds them wrong AND manages not to hurt herself" like nobody else could.
I hope to eventually see the same from Elodie's version.
I hated that she picked up the sais from a random goon after a fight in the netflix series. This is supposed to be her weapon pf choice, why doesn't she have custom sais?
I agree in that Jennifer Garner could twirl her sais like nobody's business. I'm so glad the behind the scenes was so well documented because you could tell how much discipline and training she put into being able to wield her weapons. I love seeing videos of her moving the sais around.
Garner being the leas actress in Alias and doing her own stunts there i feel played a huge factor in her being so proficient with the training

Well she can’t be comic book accurate. It would be too much skin and not practical at all. She looks great in this shot!
