Opinions on the Symbiote Suit (Post here ONLY)

[THWIP*]

And our survey says your problem is...


???:confused:???

What exactly? I've just got online and seen this for the first time. Do me a favour and climb out of my arse THWIP*

You're annoying me.


I THOUGHT YOU WERE TRYING TO BE SARCASTIC AND ANNOYING ON PURPOSE........MY BAD. :confused: :O:up:

[Captivated]

Over at Aintitcool.com they took down the Q&A that was also found here... said SONY told them to. And now it's missing from this site too... :eek:

:mad: I'm really pissed that I came here to see a picture and stumbled into what now appear to be REAL SPOILERS that pretty much outlined the whole freaking movie. And I say that because, it was right about the costume... and now it has been removed.

I hardly ever come here, cause I don't want the movie RUINED for me. Why now of all times. Crap. :(

[not_a_victim]

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD!!!!
The thing(s) reflected in spidey's eye is a building!!. You dont have to rotate it, you dont have to enhance the contrast. Nothing. It looks like the backside of a house with a garage attached. It may be a wharehouse, with sally-port entrances.
I would really love to sit some of people down and give you Rorschach tests.

[JackBauer]

the movie suit's better. too bad that's not saying much... :(

[dark_b]

Is it just me or does this picture not remind anyone of the first scene with the Black Costume from the cartoon series. Where he wakes up after that Nightmare and h'es perched on a building in the symbiote suit and doesn't know how he got there. That's what first comes to mind when I saw this picture.this is exactly what i first thought when i first saw that pic. the dock ock poster was also a scene in the movie. it is possible.

1. Uh, it clearly says this is the "SPOILERS" forum.
2. The picture says nothing about the story. You make way to many assumptions.

[Super Kal]

for some reason, the new pic reminds me of the armor suit in the cancelled Superman Lives movie

HE CANT REFLECT THE WEBBING FROM HIS HEAD IN HIS OWN EYE!! By definition, a "reflection" is something in front of the thing being reflected!!
This is not an insult, but is English not your first language?

well, honestly, to me it looks like the inside of a building or an apartment...

[AidanJames]

It has to be the symbiote on Spider-Man. After all he's got the image of his costume in his head for about four years now so he's not going to drastically alter it. He must dig his costume, thus the symbiote reflects what he digs, but it can't do color.

I'm sure it'll look ALOT different on Topher.

[Lightning Strykez!]

Let's keep the critiquing of the new suit to the sticky thread for now.

Merging...

[Spider-Bite]

I say it's either a building far away or it's the reflection of his own arm. The angles and lines match up perfectly.

[not_a_victim]

well, honestly, to me it looks like the inside of a building or an apartment...
It's pretty clear Spidey is OUTSIDE, so I dont know how the INSIDE of a building could be in his eye.

[Red]

Thats just silly

[DeereX]

To me it looks like it's just some effects in the eyes to look better. There's nothing in it, and if there were, why would they make it so hard to see?

[Asr]

Farkin damn, you guys are reading WAAAAAY too much into this pic.l

It's a BLACK SUIT on Spider-Man. Neither SHH or Sony have said it's the symbiote, so until someone official either confirms or denies that it's the symbiote, it's JUST A FRICKIN BLACK SUIT.

Damn you fanboys are more rabid than I thought. Plus you think Raimi would screw up the symbiote suit that much? I seriously doubt it.

[patrickbateman]

http://www.superherohype.com/images/spidey3small.jpg

[TrilogyMan2306]

I don't know what everyone is complaining about, it's the same suit in Spiderman 2 with black all over it. Looks as though the symbiote just covered the suit making it all black!


bingo ... maybe instead of making the suit come on at will Peter will signal for it and have it come over his coustume

[Super Kal]

I'm talking about the Q&A and Plot Summary threads that were here an hour ago and are now gone. With another website saying SONY told them to remove it, I can only assume they were legit.

WHY IS ALFALFA WEARING THE SYMBIOTE COSTUME? :confused:

[Captivated]

What Questions and Answers are you talking about?
It was about the movie plot, costumes, etc...

One could assume it was more bogus speculation, except it was right on about the photo that was just released... and now the thread has apparently been removed.

[TheCardPlayer]

How the hell would I know? Maybe it's part of the story for S-M3.Use your logic here. Why would Sony have that plot summary removed from the Web? Because it was legit. What did that summary confirm? Symbiote.

The only time, Spider-Man ever had a black suit is when he had the symbiote. Then he made a suit after he lost it.

That black suit is related to the symbiote. That's the only logical conclusion.

[patrickbateman]

OOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHHHH HELLL

who else would it be then. its not venom becuase why whould venom have the same outline of his costume like that of spideys. it is peter in his black symbiote suite.

i was hoping they would make it like the comics, but this is really cool. i'm happy with it :up:

[gdw]

http://i38.photobucket.com/albums/e115/jason142/spidey3.jpg


Damn, that would actually be kinda cool. If it starts like just a black version of what he normally wears, but starts to warp like that and what not eventually. I wouldn't mind it then.

I think its topher’s character To be honest I’m just shooting ideas around but what do we know about that Topher’s character anyway. What if he’s turns out to be the opposite of peter parker you know spidey gone bad

Any idea if he’s bulked up ? any new pics of him

[Lucky6]

hey guys i'm new, i've been reading the boards for over a year and thought with all the hype now its time to post.

first time i saw the costume i was stunned, i loved it, and i do love it, i think it's cool and i'm pleased with it.

i personally think that having the symbiote (if and i capatilise IF it is the symbiote) attach itself to peter and 'cover' his suit to make it look black, is a good idea, and as someone before said that the symbiote in the comics had a reference costume(spider-woman's) which is the reason for the big white spider, i thihk for the movies they will change that and either come up with a reasonable beleivable reason why it has the white spider on its chest, or may use one of parker's 'costume designs', from the first film, or something completely different, like him have a black replica of his orginal r/b etc

also parker does control it and because everyone assumes because this is the 'first' official picture of him, then this is the 'first' time he gets the symbiote, that may not be the case, he may of warn it for a while before learning how to control it, and now just wants a black replica of his original one, because he knows he can change it into anything he wants.

I'm pretty sure tho, that it's not the finished product, after all it is a TEASER. not just for the fans but for the movie-goers or non-fans as well. the fans will see this and go 'That's spiderman in a black costume', non-fans will see it and go 'that's spider-man, in a different costume.' both will recognise him and know it's spider-man, whether if you put him in a black costume with a white spider on the chest, some non-fans are gonna be confused and raise questions like 'is that spider-man or someone else?' not many know the whole story with the symbiote and peter, as opposed to Venom.

anyway i'm done but all is my opinion, so please don't bash me.

[Happenstance]

Im not too sure about it yet, I was really hoping for more of the comic look for it and looking less like Spideys costume with the webbing. Will just have to see what it looks in movie.

[Spider-Bite]

In my opinion I would prefer the symbiote costume to be this. Give it the same texture, no weblines, and for the spider on his chest, make it 3D raised and make it black, kind of like the Bat on Batman's costume.

[Spider-Bite]

Im not too sure about it yet, I was really hoping for more of the comic look for it and looking less like Spideys costume with the webbing. Will just have to see what it looks in movie.

I know. I almost wet myslef when seeing this picture, and I still admit it looks freaking awesome! But in all honesty the manip I made above, looks better than the original.

in the original pic you have spidey in teh black suit. but you made a lil' venom version.

[Mr. Socko]

They'll have to use CG for Venom. Topher Grace is way too small, if he started taking steriods right now he still wouldn't be huge like Eddie Brock/Venom should be.

well they say boredom breed time and after seeing the new poster i made these up quickly


new

http://homepage.ntlworld.com/n.irvine4/spider-man%20skins2.jpg

going left to right

movie costume,"early" movie black costume, comic black costume, clasic comic costume in 2 eye varients

[Lucky6]

i agree with you Spider-Bite that poster you did does look better that the original, just curiosity but um why did you tint it red? i think it looks col and adds a bit more depth to the picture.

maybe they did the original picture like to not give too much away? ya'know get ppl debating, is he or isn't he(wearing the symbiote)?

do you think IF its the symbiote and look like that it just 'covers' it or morphs like that as a beggining stage and then morphes into the actual symbiote/suit we see in the comic?

[patrickbateman]

Seriously. It's gotta be Venom. My guess is that the poster shows Spider-Man just as he discovers the symbiont. Imagine if they treated it in the movie this way, he finds it, it flows over his existing suit, effectively keeping the shape and texture, but tinting him completly black. Perhaps LATER, the thing leaves him, and goes to Topher Grace's character, who DOESN'T have a spidey suit on, and so we'll see the sleeker different looking VENOM appear out of it. Makes sense don't it?

[Symbiotica]

who else would it be then. its not venom becuase why whould venom have the same outline of his costume like that of spideys. it is peter in his black symbiote suite.

Oh, I dunno.... maybe because you guys want Venom to be "A TWIN OF PETER PARKER, THAT'S WHAT HE'S ALL ABOUT!!!!!1!!" and now, you may be about to actually get that.

I would fall out of my chair laughing if Venom turned out to be a literal twin of Spider-Man, right down to the detail on his suit... except the suit is black. So is this picture actually of Venom? Could be. That, after all, is what most of you have been wishing for: a "twin."

Whoooo-hahahahahaha, the laughing I will do if that is what this really is! :) LOL

and the_ultimat_evil - that picture looks awesome!!

and yeh thats what i think the symbiote will do IF it is of course the symbiote, just read my previous post, it will attach itself to peter and just 'cover' his costume, and then as the film goes on it will morph more into the symbiote from the comic.
does anyone else think this?

[dark_b]

They'll have to use CG for Venom. Topher Grace is way too small, if he started taking steriods right now he still wouldn't be huge like Eddie Brock/Venom should be.ahhahahahh hahahhahah :)

How can you say "Its gotta be venom", then in the next sentence say it is the sybiote on Spidey?
Has this picture made you guys retarded?

He doesnt look like he is grieving to me, he just looks tired.
You guys are really running this thing, huh?

[patrickbateman]

They'll have to use CG for Venom. Topher Grace is way too small, if he started taking steriods right now he still wouldn't be huge like Eddie Brock/Venom should be.

what about muscle suits ??

[not_a_victim]

what about muscle suits ??
What about if they go with the "Ultimate Venom" story line where Brock is a tiny wimp like Parker??

[Mr. Socko]

Like Juggernaut in X3. Yeah that'll work.

The guy who made the script outline and did the Q&A did say that Spiderman will wear the symbiote suit and that it would look like the normal Spiderman suit but black and he said that days ago. Then yesterday, we get the pic and *BAM* he's exactly right. The guy also said that Venom will be around the same size as Spiderman which sucks.

[Mr. Socko]

What about if they go with the "Ultimate Venom" story line where Brock is a tiny wimp like Parker??

I will hate it if they use that crap storyline about Venom being the cure for cancer. I don't mind Eddie's size, I guess. It's venom's size that matters.

[patrickbateman]

What about if they go with the "Ultimate Venom" story line where Brock is a tiny wimp like Parker??

1. Dont compare one movie with another.
2. If they are gonna have Venom be the same size as Parker, then obviously, they are going with the Ultimate Venom storyline.

Ultimate Venom was bigger than Spiderman in the storyline...

1. Why? Because you said so. I'm not even comparing them, fool. I'm simplying stating that they could use a body suit like the one that Juggernaut has because it makes Vinne Jones look much bigger.

2. Wrong again! In Ultimate Spiderman, Venom IS MUCH BIGGER THEN SPIDERMAN/PETER PARKER. It's EDDIE BROCK who is the same size as PETER, not VENOM!

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/32/Ultimate_38.jpg/180px-Ultimate_38.jpg

[not_a_victim]

What???
The only way to accurately portray Venom the size he is respresented in the comics today would be to use CGI or puppetry. Puppetry would limit the movemnents and interactions with a live actor.
CGI just looks bad most of the time, ans the actors are forced to interact with no or little reference.
Even Forced Perspective, like what was used in the LOTR movies, limits what can be portrayed on screen.
The best, most viable option is to have a man in a suit. Now, if they want to use a big, hulking bodybuilder to be the person in the suit, fine, but they do need to stick with it.

[Mr. Socko]

Venom needs to be at least a little bigger than Spiderman. I don't want him being some wimpy looking gay ass Venom

Amen.

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/3/32/Ultimate_38.jpg/180px-Ultimate_38.jpg
I suppose I did mispeak. I should have said Brock/Peter instead of Venom/Peter.
However, if you leave out the crux of your argument, that a body suit like jones is wearing, then it makes it hard to debate your point. You just threw out Jones in X3, without saying anything about what your point actually was.
And unless I am mistaken, Maguire has had help with muscle size when wearing the suit. Isnt there a small layer of muscles built into the suits he has worn? They looked alright. I think one of the problems with the Jones suit in X3 is the fact that they tried to render it in flesh tones.

[Frenzy]

I think everything that could be said has been and things are getting repeated too often now in a thread of this magnitude but here's what I think...

I think the suit looks a lot more textured than it has appeared before. Look at SM2's posters and you'll see the texture but not like it is here. There's a definate 'scaley' almost 'reptile' look to him in that image. He looks so much more 'organic' than in previous images. Check them out and see for yourselves. IF this is the symbiote then it has probably been shown to look more like Spidey's costume than it will actually appear in the film because they'll obviously still want the final look to remain secret.

I think we've been handed a huge tip towards Venom's appearence and yet we all still argue the point. WHY? Even if the symbiote is in it but venom doesn't show you damn well know he will in SM4.

This image is a very positive sign that the comics will still be used as the main influence in the story and not new, unwanted material.:)

Gwen Stacey - Captain Stacey - The Black Costume - Harry - MJ - Jameson - Sandman - Conners...

Why the hell do we all complain so much?

[Go Web Go!]

It's NOT the reflection of the webbing on his arms...
i'm probably wrong but to me at least it looks like gg2 or hobby(whomever it is) is flying at him about to attack him. remember that poster for SM1 where we could see GG flying at SM? reminds me of that one.

But Brock was the same size as Parker. Unless you want another Hulk CGI disaster, stick with a man in a suit.

Hulk was filmed years ago with a much smaller budget, not to mention they might have learned from the Hulk as well. This is also all the more reasont to have Venom in part 4.

Plus I didn't think the Hulk looked bad. The movie sucked, but I thought the Hulk looked cool.

Not to derail this thread anymore than it already has been, but there were times when Hulk looked good, and times when it looked absolutely cartoonish.

[Mr. Socko]

I suppose I did mispeak. I should have said Brock/Peter instead of Venom/Peter.
However, if you leave out the crux of your argument, that a body suit like jones is wearing, then it makes it hard to debate your point. You just threw out Jones in X3, without saying anything about what your point actually was.

I will say it again.

- Body suits work

- Vinne Jone's Body suit in X3 looks great

- The body suit makes Vinne look MUCH better

- Topher should wear a big body suit like Vinne does

- A big body suit would make Topher in the Venom costume look good

- it would look better then Hulk CG

- I wasn't comparing any movies to one another so I have no idea what you're babbling about

- If I want, I can compare any movie that I want to.....TO ANY OF THEM!

[Sean Adisano]

I think its topher’s character To be honest I’m just shooting ideas around but what do we know about that Topher’s character anyway. What if he’s turns out to be the opposite of peter parker you know spidey gone bad

Any idea if he’s bulked up ? any new pics of him

i really don't think its topher in the suite. if it is i'm really mad then, because venom should look like the comics in my opinion. this most definitely is peter in his black suite. it is cool, and man oh man what a dark and scary feeling i get looking at it :D

[Advanced Dark]

Did the red suit have "pores" like that?

[Frenzy]

And regarding Venoms size I agree with anyone who likes the idea of Brock and peter being of a similair size but Venom being slightly bigger than Spidey.

A 6'5" Venom who's ripped up and moves like lightning will still be a GOOD Venom. Don't get too obsessed with his bulk - it's the way he moves that will make him.:) Plus I think it's the eyes and mouth that define Venom NOT his size.

[Conan_O'Brien]

^I disagree with the scales... he has scales in this one:

http://neo95.ifrance.com/spiderman%20the%20movie.jpg

[lordofthenerds]

Venom needs to be at least a little bigger than Spiderman. I don't want him being some wimpy looking gay ass Venom
I agree. He doesn't need to be over 10 feet tall but he can't be definently can't be the same size as Spidey.

[not_a_victim]

I will say it again.

- Body suits work

Well, well. Are we gonna stamp our little booty-covered feet and hold our breath untill we get our way?
You did compare two movies. "Like juggy in X-3", wasnt that a comparison?
Every one of the above points is an opinion, not one fact is there. Not one.
Your turn.

[Conan_O'Brien]

He also has pores in this one:

http://www.comics-unlimited.com/downloads/wallpapers/spiderman2movie01.jpg

[Frenzy]

Did the red suit have "pores" like that?

NO - that's what I was pointing out. Thanks for giving them a better description than mine:):up:

If you imagine that costume moving around on his body you have the symbiote right there. It's very creepy if you imagine it right.

[Conan_O'Brien]

Theres pores in this one also,

http://www.worldsendimages.com/Spiderman.jpg

[Advanced Dark]

^ I thought so. This black suit has pores of sorts so the suit or the symbiote can "breathe"? :) I'm wondering if the suit is another Oz Corp creation gone wrong and Harry gives it to Peter to help defeat Sandman then Harry drinks the formula at the end after Spiderman to help Spiderman then goes insane setting up GG2 and Venom for Part 4. God...none of us freaking know. I wish the X3 film had this much secrecy. If it wasn't for Kirsten Dunst the surprise would be that much greater.

[Sean Adisano]

but it shouldn't be a costume or suite for venom i think, because venom is all drippy with the symbiote and he has those awesome tenticles that i think should be in the movie, whenever he's in the movie.

[Advanced Dark]

Theres pores in this one also,

http://www.worldsendimages.com/Spiderman.jpg

That looks more scaley to me. The black suit has easily definable pores.

[Advanced Dark]

but it shouldn't be a costume or suite for venom i think, because venom is all drippy with the symbiote and he has those awesome tenticles that i think should be in the movie, whenever he's in the movie.

This could be when he first puts on the suit. Obviously if Peter saw a freaking costume dripping and evil looking he wouldn't attempt to put it on. Ok I got my 2000th post. Bye.

ok..ok..before i read any comments or have my ideas warped by anyone else, i want to say 1: i was expecting it to look like this and 2:i love the suit..i dont know if thats the general reaction yet or if a "OMG TEH SUXXORZ" war is going to happen here *COUGH*SRHYPE*COUGH* but im putting this here..i love it..there.

[SLYspyder]

SOME of you guys are just plain idiots.


- Peter has the symbiote on, this is NOT a black and white picture. Sony already confirmed this on the official site. A couple of posters have already confirmed that this is what the final symbiote suit looks like, days before this picture, "the same as the regular suit but just black". So noone is teasing us. Sony didn't spend all that money just to whip up some picture to throw us off. The picture says what it says!


- No, Peter did not spend days making a new costume because he lost someone and was mourning. That's such a ****in dumb idea. Peter wasn't exactly a happy person with the symbiote, so the picture depicts that perfectly. He's sad about what the symbiote is making him do.


- There is nothing in his eye, just a reflection of his ****in arm with is right in front of his lens. So shut the **** up kitty rose, you've been rambling for like 50 pages.


- This is NOT a picture of Venom/Topher. Look at the physique, that is without a doubt Tobey's physique, from the size of the head to the length of his arms. The same poster that confirmed this symbiote spider-man look already gave a description of Venom, and thats not it.

[Khaosx2030]

Sorry if this was already posted, but I made a quick thing showing how the villians were reflected in the eye in the last movies.

[SIXXDOGG]

I agree...If that is it I'm going to kill someone over at Sony!!!

Personally though, I think this is just another attempt to make us wait. The Black costume is just a hint at the actual black costume. It has to be. I can't believe they would screw it up so bad.:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

so whats your opinion on all this black suite stuff Mr. uhhh SLYpyder is it...:o

;)

i love the suite as well :up:

[jpmuftak]

This suit has got me thinking.

Raimi is going realistic.

But it is still a spider-man movie, so he could still do an "alien" symbiote.
However, it is unlikely this symbiote will have the "costume" we know and love once trasnformed into venom.
So I believe (and like) the idea that Venom will have no "white spider" anywhere on him.
This is the most realistic option.
Maybe something like this:

i wouldn't mind seeing that as venom. you are right, raimi is going for realism...still would be nice to see the original venom from the comics with the white spider and all, but the black spidey suite looks awesome with its change from the comics, so i'm sure whatever raimi does for venom will rock as well.

[Venom Drool]

it doesnt make sense that raimi would make the symbiote unalien. hes done evil dead which had a tree rape a woman. i dont think an alien symbiote thing too far out of reach since we got a guy made of sand.

[Asr]

Holy crap jpmuftak, that pic is teh awesomeness!!!1!1

[jpmuftak]

I've always thought that the venom symbiote was the most acceptable form of an alien in ANY marvel comic.

It makes any other "alien" look really cheesy and unrealistic.

So what better way to introduce aliens to the marvel universe than Venom?

[jpmuftak]

Holy crap jpmuftak, that pic is teh awesomeness!!!1!1
lybbert4955 did that one, and YES it is Awesome!

[SLYspyder]

so whats your opinion on all this black suite stuff Mr. uhhh SLYpyder is it...:o

i love the suite as well :up:

i just hope it works out well. It looks badass, but at the same time, I can't help but wonder if the original symbiote suit wouldve looked better.

[Frenzy]

That image of all three villains is a dream come true for me:)

Good night.

i would have loved to see the original suite as well, i mean i was hoping for it. but after seeing the picture, it does look good, i mean really good. and it probably fits better with the realism raimi is going for with these films. i know its going to work out. its going to work out very well :up:

[GoldGoblin]

Wouldn't sand get into the goblin's glider if the goblin was around the Sandman and cause the glider not to fly anymore.

GG2 will install a special ventilation system or something to prevent that catastrophe :D

[Isildur´s Heir]

The photo is amazing, no question about that.
But, i would have prefered a totally black suit, to one equal to the original, but in black.

[storyteller]

There is definitely something in spideys eye. It look like either sandmans head or spidermans mask. But its hard to tell since the eyes are in a pattern, so with the rain and angle it may appear to be a face when it isnt. Also i though the black spots were protruding but now realize that its just an illusion the black is having. Its the same suit but with a different scheme. Chances are this isnt the real black suit but maniped. They are probably still building the black suit.

[teknomanelvis]

WTF....."AMR"? :confused:


SERIOUSLY.......NO MORE MUSHROOMS! :marv:

yea AMR, those are my initials Antonio M Rivera, sweet the movie is all bout me whoohooooooooo

If they weren't done making it yet, then they wouldn't release this photo. Studios don't work like that. Besides they have been filming for 2 months already, I think the suit would be done by now.

It would be a little too late, as the movie is filming as we discuss this one image.

[Mr. Socko]

The suit is definitely done. Thats the final product....or atleast one of them.

[Spider-Bite]

Does anybody think that it would look cool if up close on the symbiote, th epores look like they are breathing, by moving up and down, opening and closing, and perhaps even moving around, like crawling all over his body?

I also wonder now, is Venom going to have pores?

[Spencer9]

Don't know, I just want to see this thing in action.

Harry is such a bad aim he will hit Sandman with that damn bomb. O and it looks like he is going to throw it at Venom.. Venom is swinging that way..

[PerfectStorm]

Alright, you guys are all idiots... You had to KNOW that they weren't going to release a picture that explained everything. They did the smart thing by releasing a controversial picture that still has all of you idiots speculating about. Man... get over it. that man's not gonna tell us anything until he's ready.

[Mister Gone]

What suit?

[Mr. Socko]

You seem like the idiot.

You had to KNOW that they weren't going to release a picture that explained everything.

Now you seem even more like an idiot, no one in this world was expecting a picture that would explain EVERYTHING. It's impossible for one picture for explain EVERYTHING in a 2+ hour movie.

[Spencer9]

Um, I didn't think they were going to release anything really big Mr. Attitude. And I ain't no idiot..

[Mister Gone]

I honestly don't think that Venom is gonna be in this one. Topher doesn't seem to be a fit for Eddie and in all honesty the suit doesn't look different enough to be the symbiote. All the people cast for the parts of the villains have been carbon copies of their comic counterparts. Topher is not an Eddie Brock.

[Mr. Socko]

Venom will be in.

[Mister Gone]

Look on the bright side, At least he wasn't wearing a sleevless red hoodie with little pouches on his ankles

[i-n-z-a-n-e]

I think Venom will be in it, I just don't think that the whole movie will be based on him therefore him having a shorter role and as THC mentioned him only being at the end.

[James"007"Bond]

Harry is such a bad aim he will hit Sandman with that damn bomb. O and it looks like he is going to throw it at Venom.. Venom is swinging that way..

Venom will swing into a downward swop position as Harry throws the pumpkin bomb via over-arm. Sandman is in the clear.

[Mister Gone]

Venom will be in.
It's really to soon to say. From the earliest speculation I thought Raimi would stick with more viable plot lines, Venom is one of the more fantastic ideas that work well in comics but not on film. I think Sandman was a bit of a stretch.

[i-n-z-a-n-e]

I don't know alot about sandman, but can somebody post important or interesting things that he has done in the comics or tv show

[Mr. Socko]

Come on, it's all in the Q&A which I completely believe is true for the most part.

Venom in

Symbiote in

Venom vs Sandman vs Spiderman= Finale!

[Mister Gone]

Well let's see, for a short time he joined up with Silver Sable and became a good guy

[InsomniacFreak]

Dammit Peter. Learn to do laundry. Just what, pray tell, did you wash the damn spidey suit with this time? I'm afraid to ask. It seems you've become so desperately pathetic and poor that you're now having to use the ****ter to wash your clothes. ;)


Though decidedly unsymbiotic or venomous in form, spidey suit looks damn cool. I shall await more testimony/evidence by the filmmakers before rendering a verdict as to whether it is a good or bad rendition.

Nevertheless, such a stormy, brooding photo suggestive of an ultra-serious theme is perhaps a foreshadowing of darker days on the spidey horizon. :up: :up:

[Mr. Socko]

Thats when he sucked. Sandman is one of the best Spider-Man villians of all time. I love him even more then Venom

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandman_%28Marvel_Comics%29

Read that.

[Mister Gone]

I can beleive a guy with robotic arms on his back, I can buy a guy with a flight suit and a glider with enhanced physical ablilities, a guy who got radioactive sand dumped on him and ended up with powers instead of cancer.....eeeeeeehhhhh okay, I guess. An alien from another planet brought to Earth by a space shuttle that just went to the Moon that..... I'm out of popcorn... brb

[Weapon M]

Would it hurt Raimi or anyone making the damn movie to put the Icon white Spider Logo on Venom?? I MEAN FOR REAL!!!!! GOD! Like what the hell???????I bet they thought about taking the 'S' logo off of Superman too and they woke up right? or the Spider logo off of Spiderman also huh?

Would it hurt to make the charectors look CLOSER to the charectors we ALL fell in love with?!?! It's like having your favorite actor, and then the actor gets a face lift and loosing/ gaining tremendous weight.... You'll never get to see that person ever again. Cause of a psychological insecurity he haas. Your going to be like, umm yeah thats him..but something's off now..

Which is what leads me to beleive that this is not the symbiote. Gobby had the mask, Ock had the goggles and bowl cut. When we see a pic of Topher we will know.

[Weapon M]

btw, I'm talking cause I know this is going to happen. I know it I sense it.. They are going to have a big black monster for this third movie, and he's going to have the big mouth, eyes, and long tongue. But not have the iconographic elements that make him special!

Spiderman is going to be different. I'll live with it.. I mean, I loved the black costume more then anything........ But I guess Movie makers want to do things always different from the movies. They are actually under the delusion that you could make something like a comic movie more REAL. Instead of just making it well written.

[Backdrifter]

That's not the black suit.

Haha, too true......

Not that i hate venom... but in a live-action spiderman movie, it wont work out too well... way too cheesey, a monster with a god damn slobbering tongue and some fangs... looks cool, but they add nothing to the story built up from sm1 and sm2. at least kids will flock to this one more than ever....pff, alien suit from space... thats wayyyy too much, we dont need stuff from the cosmos in the spiderman universe that raimi has made so far... i have a feeling that raimi didnt really put in brock/venom willingly... more like sony made an outline for him to follow so that when raimi is gone after sm3, something is built up for sm4.

[Mr. Socko]

That's not the black suit.

And people seem to forget that he wore the black costume after he lost the symbiote. He fought Kraven the Hunter in it (Not too Tophery though) He also went toe to toe with Mysterio (A better fit) and tossed around Electro (An excellent Topher IMO) If they were always true to the comics we would have to sit through Spider-Hulk, Man-Spider, Six Armed Spiderman, Spider-Monkey, Captain Universe Spider Man etc. etc.

[christpunchers]

No i dont mind if they went for just the whole TAS'90's route (obviously they can never do the whole secret war sa-bang). ... but im just saying putting in venom, an alien entity from space, into the same universe that the last 2 spiderman movies were.... its just too paranormal/sci-fi.... i mean sure it IS a superhero story after all, but personally i feel that the movie will have too much sci-fi in it and not enough human elements for it to adhere to the last two movies, get what im trying to say?

Exactly, I am with you all the way. I remember back when it was Raimi that said he wouldn't put Venom in the movie, and now everyone is sold that he will be in it. I bet that Sam's laughing all the way to the bank. (I know I'm gonna get correction flamed for this)

[Zinger2099]

I'm not sure if this has been confirmed or not yet, cuz I didn't want to read 100 pages to see; but I can myself confirm that the picture is NOT black and white. Although it's hard to make out, there is limited colour in the picture. To confirm this yourself, open some sort of image editor (anything more sofisticated then Paint will do) and paste the picture in there, then use the eyedropper tool to take a sample of something that doesn't look pitch black. I found some distinct dark shades of blue in the picture.

Pass the word around.

[Mistopurr83]

I understand Spidey did wear a black suit for a while. But was that black suit with the white spider the only black one he ever wore? An answer would be appreciated. I like the way that photo looks and the black suit looks interesting. I'm sure he'll still wear the red and blue one for a little bit and than later in the story he'll see how the black one will do.

As you see in that poster it's night time in the background. Could he be doing this so the new villain(s) doesn't see him in the dark?

[Mr. Socko]

Yeah, but I don't agree.

Oh shoot, I forgot about Mysterio. I love him more then Venom too! Maybe next time

Green Goblin
Doc Ock
Sandman
Mysterio
Venom

are my favorites.

Yeah Sony said it wasn't black and white when they released the photo

[Mr. Socko]

Someone else had said this too, I think. But maybe when Spiderman puts on the symbiote it takes shape/phase of his normal costume for some reason then it gradually forms into the complete black with white symbol suit.

http://www.armchairempire.com/images/miscellaneous/spiderman-venom-saga/spiderman-venom-saga-1.jpg

I'm hoping we have a scene similar to that.

Chameleon
Venom
Kraven

That's not the black suit.Then what is it? A banana suit?

[Zinger2099]

Yeah Sony said it wasn't black and white when they released the photo

I know, but DESPITE the fact that this was said on their website, a lot of people were still asking if anyone had confirmed this or not. (between pages 50 and 75, which is what I read before I stopped reading) So I figured I'd clear things up beyond a reason of a doubt.

Thanks. I'm surprised no one else thought of it to be honest.

Anyone else can't wait to see that on film ;)

[Marc]

Why are people refering to it as the symbiote or black suit?

Seems obvious its just an artistic effect. Contrast and brightness changed with a filter added. The texturing is exactly the same as the normal suit, they aren't pore's, its just a 'wet' reflected version of the texture print. Unless Pete just spraypaints it black/dark blue or something, which seems a bit lame. Its not even got the white spider logo.

[MST3KPIMP]

Perhaps this has been suggested but could the picture be a Rami trick in that it is simply a POV of the Goblin. After all, any goblin character wears lenses.

[kwameade]

Well here is something. i joined the spider-man network on the movie site when the first movie and i got an emial saying that he is wearing a black suit. On the main site it also says he is wearing a black suit.

[Blayton]

I like it but a part of me still thinks this is a Black and White Photo.

I guess you missed the part where Sony said it's the black suit.

[Saint]

I like it but a part of me still thinks this is a Black and White Photo.
If it were, there would be a tonal difference between the normally red parts of the suit and the normally blue parts. They'd be different shades of grey. It would take a great deal of specific colour and contrast editing to make the regular Spider-Man suit look like it does in the poster.

Oh, and Sony said it's the black suit. Heh.

[GoldGoblin]

It kinda makes me happy that everybody loves the suit and the Venom fans hate it.:)

[nosebleed.]

Someone else had said this too, I think. But maybe when Spiderman puts on the symbiote it takes shape/phase of his normal costume for some reason then it gradually forms into the complete black with white symbol suit.


This is exactly what I was thinking but a couple of you guys beat me to saying it.

I agree with this. It MIGHT work as the symbiote if say they do something with the symbiote starting out as just a blacker version of the red and blues like this photo,then eventually gets darker and darker,and appearing more lively as the movie goes on.

If they stick to the comic explanation then the symbiote could slowly suck the life out of Spidey turning him into a darker character with a lot of darkness in his life...which could reflect in the suit. It sounds like a great explanation of how the suit could "fade to black".

[GoldGoblin]

Venom fans,let me get this straight.When you hear a rumor it's suppose to be fact,when they show you proof from a picture,you believe it's a lie.

[DroolingforGwen]

Did Tobey ever wear a real full suite in the films? Or was it computer imaging all the time?

[gdw]

http://www.armchairempire.com/images/miscellaneous/spiderman-venom-saga/spiderman-venom-saga-1.jpg

I'm hoping we have a scene similar to that.


I am REALLY eager to see this.

I am starting to think that it will start off like this and gradually develop throughout the film, as a parallel to how it gradually affects him psycologically. Kinda like how they usually show him have flashes to being more Venom like in the cartoon and Ultimate series, but just from this suit into something closer to the symbiote suit.

[Mr. Socko]

I'm kinda a Venom fan, but not as much a venom fan as I am a Sandman fan. And I think the suit it pretty cool.

[I_am_budders]

Regardless of what's the plot is, that is a kick ass photo and I'm definetly hyped. The tone alone gives me chills.

[Captivated]

I really love the photo... but there were some subtle things that were bothering me, so... I work in Photoshop, I can change them. ;)

I wonder how many can pick up on the difference. (And NO there are no dorky hidden images... sorry.)

I don't know about anybody else, but now i'm desperate for any news on confirmation of the villains and when we'll see a teaser trailer for the film. This picture is awesome but deserves a lot more explanation than what they're giving us.

Must I repeat myself? :(

I'm not sure if this has been confirmed or not yet, cuz I didn't want to read 100 pages to see; but I can myself confirm that the picture is NOT black and white. Although it's hard to make out, there is limited colour in the picture. To confirm this yourself, open some sort of image editor (anything more sofisticated then Paint will do) and paste the picture in there, then use the eyedropper tool to take a sample of something that doesn't look pitch black. I found some distinct dark shades of blue in the picture.

Pass the word around.

We've got a year and a half. Chill. Let's be patient, guys. It is ridiculous of some of you to think that they are just supposed to lay out all their weapons on the table with over a year before the film is released. They are taking their time. We won't get a major villain confirmation story until ComicCon. Believe me.

whoa, tell us how you really feel...:eek:

who would you get to do these films, because in my opinion: raimi, maguire and dunst have been great for these films.

just my opinion, but i'm pretty sure some would agree...

Not digging the webbing on the Black suit (Why?). Would've been happier with the giant spider insignia on the chest and back.

Let's see you direct or act in this movie. Hate when people just complain how bad the movie was made and how bad the acting is just get you're own camera/ group of actors and make a better movie okay?

Alright... Aside from adjusting the brightness and color a bit, in the original his shoulder/back looked hunched, so I made it slightly smaller. I also thought his head looked a little large, so I reduced it just a tad. I also intensified some of the shading... changed his hand... just little things. But they can make a big difference.

i would have like to see the suite from the comics, but seeing how raimi is taking these films with realism, i am really liking this suite. it just goes with the films, and i think the webbing is awesome :up:

i think what i can make out is a spider on the front on his chest if i'm not mistaken. but i don't see any spider on the back. its a dark picture and his back is against the wall, but we should at least maybe see a leg or two from the spider, if there is even a spider on his back.

REAL guys running around dressed like comic-book characters risk looking like they are wearing under-roos or PJs. The darker colors, texture and raised webbing really help to avoid that. I for one, think it was a brillant move. :up:

well your not going to get total realism, i mean come on, this is a movie based on a comic about a human mutated into a spider :rolleyes:(LOVE you Spidey ;) ) but i think it was a better road to take in making the suite look like this then making it look like the comics.

this suite looks awesome :up:

[Marc]

I guess you missed the part where Sony said it's the black suit.

The part where they basically admit its just a photoshop job of the current costume? Its exactly the same. Hell, they have the thing modelled, just ramp up the spec maps and change the base colours... job done. You can see the spider symbol on his chest and it is still black. If that IS the black costume then they are extremely lazy, which I guess makes sense judging by their choices recently (casting?? ugh).

Lazy or not, the symbiote could just take on the form of Spider-Man's regular costume. Assuming the picture on the official site is the actual costume, then that's most likely the case.

[sag002]

I like the suit, but... i think it could've been a bit more like the comics. Not just taking the original suit and changing its colour.

[black_dust]

Indeed like its sucked over the top of the normal red and blue suit

[Arcturus]

When I first saw the image, I just figured the symbiote was immitating Spider-Mans regular suit. Whether spidey is wearing his usual red and blue underneath the symbiote, or the creature has probed his mind and is mimicking it to it's likeness, only rather then red and blue, it's black. Who knows.

[spiderfan09]

Does anyone else think that this thing would look a hundred times better without the silver webs on it? or maybe with black webs all over it? Anythign that would even it out. My reasoning is that it worked with the webs the way they were for the other suit, because they were on a certain area, now it just looks like they didn't finish puttin webs on the suit, since it's only one color and the webs don't really have a color guide. I don't know, I'd like to hear soem other ideas.

It's just the reflection of his arm.

[Mentok]

His arm webbing reflecting.

[Sean Adisano]

i want him to be wearing the symbiote and just have the symbiote create all the clothes he will wear, like in the animated series when peter says "i want to wear something nice, maybe something Italian." and the symbiote forms a nice dress suite over him. i would think thats cool if they do that.

[webhead731]

Yes, it does look like there's a face in his eye. But it really looks like the webbing on his arm.

And it's not Sandman, and he's the only villain that has been revealed in a picture. Don't they usually release a poster of the villain before they put him in Spider-Man's eye? I don't think they can put a villain in Spidey's eye without the villain poster.

Yea, or maybe just completely without the webs all together. not saying I don't like the suit, I love it. I'm just one of those guys who is bothered by the simplest of things.

I got one more thing to ask you, are the webs still silver? It's kind of hard for me to tell if they are silver, or if they are shiney black with light gleaming off. Do you think they would look better as silver or black? the Suit might be kinda cool if they had black webs all over the suit.

[kiuju2k]

its hard to tell what color they are since its a dark photo and the light is shining one them. it could go both ways for me:

-you can have the webbings a darker black then the suite, which would look cool...

-or-

-you can have the webbings silver, which i think they are and is probably the better way to go in my opinion...
