Any time you “only hear good things”, be prepared to activate the “consensus cracking” center of your brain - because there’s a very good chance that you are being misled by normies and crypto-leftists. We’ve seen “alt critics” like Drinker praise degenerate and subversive content just because it happens to be competently made. The truth is that unless it is being actively and openly attacked by the left, then it probably isn’t good. And even that is no reliable metric; Hogwarts Legacy, despite being massively targeted by leftists, was still completely pozzed.
I think people are more likely to let it slide in cape stuff which was campy back when they originally enjoyed it. Plenty of the old comic costumes were adjacent to fetishwear and there's no shortage of flamboyant characters. Haven't seen this show because it's Disney, but it wouldn't be the first time Magneto was running around in magenta with a deep-V neck either.
"It's not a V cut, it's a giant letter M across my chest for 'Magneto' despite everyone in the world knowing who I am because of all the times I've tried to take over the world!"
Ah, it was #4 I was thinking of when writing that. It's the costume he uses when teaching at the school the first time in the 1980s run of the original New Mutants series. Before he was made evil yet again and destroyed the mansion. Again. 🙄
And tbf, #6 is Erik the Red who despite the name is a completely separate character first seen when Cyclops pretended to be the character only for it to somehow be an existing person from the Shi'ar that later turned out to be part of a super secret order 'of the Red'.

"Get off the kitchen table, Erik."
I was thinking of #5 here https://ghostarchive.org/archive/oKVaw which is pretty fabulous.
Then I saw #6 which looks like it belongs at a BDSM club.
