Those accelerator suits are the most ridiculous thing

Just caught this on TV. I had forgotten just how laughably stupid those accelerator suits were. So overblown and flat out stupid to the degree that it takes me right out of an already ridiculous movie. Suits that can take any sort of punishment, allow the person inside them to be run over and survive giant falls, giving them Superman powers, giving them speed powers like The Flash, making them impervious...and after all that nonsense, the only thing broken is a faceplate. It was just so overblown and silly. It's bad enough that cars and other vehicles are flying and flipping all over the place with no thought to even an iota of physics, but the suits are even worse.

Oh wait, they can stick a machine in a dead guys head and turn his last memories from before death into images! There is something more stupid than accelerator suits after all!

Whose idea was it for the word "Lisp" to have an "S" in it?

Watching this POS now. Those suits are definitely the worst part (followed very closely by the lips on Snake Eye's costume). What really cracks me up is how they're basically 'everything proof'... right up until Storm Shadow throws some spaghetti sauce on one, which totally screws up it's 'super high tech visor'. Ridiculous. Cobra should just make spaghetti sauce guns.
