to you maybe, but I think it is rather obvious from the amount of interest in these designs that that isn't the case for a great many people, so to attempt to project that as some sort of absolute on the brand and not simply your preference is dishonest.

and this is the great exaggeration of the detractors. yes, the different uniforms differentiated the characters so that kids would want all the different toys. well, guess what, now those characters will actually behave and act differently and have different personalities, so the uniforms aren't needed to differ their personalities...they will actually have different personalities to do so.
so if the argument is that they are all the same, that is just a ridiculous argument. they are different in an even better regard...who they are and how they act.
Wolverine and Cyclops dress the same in the X-Men movies, yet they managed not to behave the same. the argument about uniforms needed to differentiate the characters, or make them special, just doesn't hold any water.
