I love suits, new suits, little details, etc. But I see people get in big debates over them and I don’t get it. Like I appreciate all the Cap suits, all the Spidey suits, yadda yadda. I don’t see what people get aggressive and defensive over.

I do think that sometimes these comic book movies changes the suits/costumes of their heroes just for the sake of it (or to sell more toys. I mean every new costumes means a new release). I think even when they've found the 'perfect' costume, they still alter them in the next movie because they feel the need to have something 'new' when it wasn't really necessary.
My favourite Captain America costume was the one he had in his first film, Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). I found the one he was wearing throughout most of Captain America: The Winter Soldier (2014) pretty boring with its blue/silver colour scheme and I was happy to see him get back his old costume from the Smithsonian. The only 'positive' thing I can say about his costume from TWS was at least it was better than his one from The Avengers (2012). I don't know what they were thinking with that.
I liked the Batman Begins (2004) costume the best out of all the Batman ones. The only 'negative' thing was that he wasn't able to turn his head...but, hey, at least it didn't send his crashing into church pews like his costume in Batman (1989) did.
I hold the 'unpopular' opinion of liking the costume from The Amazing Spider-Man (212) best out of all the Spider-Man costumes.
I did NOT like the DCEU version of the Superman costume at all.

I can't tell most of the suits of individual heroes/villains apart. The only exception is DCEU's Superman; the lack of red external underwear stands out.

Cap's suit in Avengers 1 hasnt aged well. I thought it was pretty 'dated' as soon as I saw the film. I think part of the problem was that it too closely resembled the one he was wearing as he toured the nation to promote war bonds in Captain America: The First Avenger (2011). That one was meant as a 'parody' of sorts, and then he got his proper suit/more practical star-spangled duds (which resembled a tricked-out airman's jumpsuit), complete with a mask which looked to be adapted from a WW2 helmet. Unfortunately, in The Avengers (2012) Coulson - fanboy that he was - had to mess with things and the costume ended up looking considerably 'dorkier'. I thought the costume from TFA was easily the 'best' and they should've never deviated from that. Just another example of changing costumes from movie to movie for the sake of it, really.

I miss the long-gone era, where characters got to live in their costumes for a few years before a significant design change occurred. The Neil Adams Batman costume feels like it went unaltered for ages. The All-New, All-Different X-Men outfits are some of my favorite custom designs of all time (Dave Cockrum was a genius).
I prefer teams to have functional uniforms over straight-up costumes. Of course, uniforms should have variations for sex and powerset as needed. Still, overall the group should look like they belong to a team. Of course, if your powers would melt the gloves off your hands when you used them, there is no point in forcing you to wear them along with everyone else.
All that being said, I have grown accustomed to the quick-change costume culture in comic books, where characters get new costumes almost every issue. Some artists have done an excellent job of creating iconic designs for popular characters. It's always nice when you can associate a suit with a certain period in a characters' publication history.
I don't really nitpick over small costume details. People who do that seem overly obsessive to me.
I know some people don't like the "tactical" design trend of superhero costumes in the movies today. I don't mind it. It fits in with the inclination towards more grounded storytelling. Colorful, flamboyant costumes seem to work better for space-based settings and characters.
People who are married to the idea that costumes designs from the 50s and 60s should be faithfully translated to the movies are just being unrealistic. Those customers were inspired by trends from the previous decades (30s and 40s). I don't mind an homage, but a literal translation wouldn't be credible or appropriate in many cases.
On another board I'm on we're going through all of the costume variants for every character in the MCU and voting on the best one. It can be tedious, depending on the character (I'm looking at you shellhead), but it's interesting to see how the costumes have evolved over time.

Depends on the design and how cheap it looks. I appreciate a costume that looks like some effort was put into it.
