With the caveat that there are very few people in the world who have Chris Evans's jawline, I still gotta wonder if making the Cap uniform look THIS BAD on Walker in comparison was a deliberate design choice
His tiny squinchy face! HIS TINY LITTLE SQUINCHY PUNCHABLE SMUG ASS FACE
People keep commenting that this is the ugly = evil trope and honestly I don't think it is. I mean, Wyatt Russell ain't Chris Evans, sure. But NOBODY else is Chris Evans. Objectively, Wyatt Russell is not an ugly dude:

So hey was I being flippant? Yeppers. Do I think Wyatt Russell is groteque? Nah. He's an attractive dude. But evidently my flippant pointing up of the design choices that went into making him look like a kid who stole dad's helmet has touched a nerve.
Do I think that helmet design makes Wyatt Russell's attractive face look exquisitely squinchy, smug, and punchable? YES I FREAKIN DO.
And if we're gonna talk about the ethical implications of tropes in the MCU y'all then we're gonna talk about the Wakandans installing a kill switch in a man's prosthetic and *not telling him about it* which is a way fucking deeper violation than an ugly helmet.
