Mal's suspenders, do y'all like the thin ones from FF, or the more 3-D-like ones from Serenity?

I am shocked that more people haven't posted to this thread because, frankly, it's one of the best topic titles I've ever seen. Mal's suspenders have been a topic of constant discourse between my friends and me. They all make fun of me because I love his suspenders so damn much while they all think they're really dorky. Maybe it's because we all were forced to wear suspenders in marching band.
I think I'd choose the fancy futuristic movie suspenders.

Gah -- don't even get me started on the movie suspenders. They were the one -- THE ONE -- thing I didn't like about the big-screen adaptation.
To me, they screamed too loudly, "Look! It's not the present or the wild west -- it's the future, because they don't have suspenders like that nowadays."
They seemed impractical, overly designed and didn't fit in with the rough-and-tumble style of functional clothing everyone wears. It'd be different if they harkened to some kind of web gear or something, but, nope, they were just Future Space Suspenders.
Enough of an opinion for you?

Hee hee! I guess that's a good point, as it was also something my ex-boyfriend used to complain about when we watched the show. He'd say, "They just put that in to look like the future. There's no practical application for something like that at any time!" But what can I say? I'm a sucker for aesthetics.

To be honest I never even noticed a difference between the series and the movie. Darn. Now I am going to have to rewatch both to see what everybody is talking about.

I can't agree with you more Juggenaut. I HATED the movie suspenders.
The ones in the BDS were so much more in character for Mal-pratical functional and Oh so sexy!

Mal's movie suspenders?
Ick. Just ick.
They are so....faux.
Look as if they'd smell funny if they got hot.
Or you could sit and stab holes in them if bored.
Man needs something to hold up his pants?
Fine.
Gorramn things don't have to look "chunky."
Or however you'd say they look.
FF suspenders look as if they're enough to do the job.
Not overkill.
bun, in a costumy mood

When it comes to the captain's galluses I choose the originals. They looked good. The movie ones made me cringe.

Yeah I definitely preferred the FF suspenders. I didn't cringe or anything for the serenity ones, but the older ones looked more rough and western. They didn't scream woohoo we made a movie and see look those suspenders prove he's a space cowboy!

I also vote for the TV series suspenders. Even liked better the original shirts with just the regular buttons. The movie suspenders was too fancy and the movie shirts had these fancy clasps too.
