A flawed argument to be sure.

Fiction, literature, and storytelling has long shown that fantastic elements grounded by realism and organic familiarity work to not only enhance the fantastic, but to build a bridge between the fake and the real.

To say that one buy-in of the non-realistic demands a complete, or rather loose, adherence to realism is idiotic...and has no basis other than to prove some other point that has nothing to do with the present argument.

All great fantasy cinema restrain themselves to rules, and only abuse the fantastic when necessary. When the fantastic just warrants more fantastic, you get something like the last season of Lost, where anything from Lazarus pits, magic lighthouses, time travel, among other non-realistic elements are fair game because "Hey, we already accepted the polar bear on the island and the smoke monster." You get Die Another Day, where things don't need to make sense because your audience bought the most recent unrealistic, inane plot point. You get A-Team. And almost always these plot points are contrived for the sake of themselves, and not because they have any real impact on the film's emotional or substantive quality. Basically, you get sloppy storytelling that tries to use gimmicks and flashy fantasy instead of real storytelling.

So a radioactive/genetic spider is unrealistic, yes. Does it mean the entire thing must be unrealistic or toss away realism? Certainly not. In fact, again adn again, storytelling has shown using the one unrealistic thing in a realistic fashion is what gets people fascinated. It makes them feel like this could -- possibly in some weird way -- possibly happen. It blurs the lines between fantasy and reality and draws your audience in...something that film is meant to do. The radioactive spider is so compelling and mysterious when it POPS AGAINST our real world, a world where not everything can happen, where there are rules and routine and mundanity. When he gets bit by a radioactive spider in a world where fantasy rules, Spider-man and Parker's extraordinary journey become something common...and far from the fantastic and unreal adventure that it should be.

Going "hey, it's a radioactive spider, so let's screw realism" is the same type of thinking that inevitably ends in the hodge-podge of unrealistic elements and sloppy storytelling that was X-Men The Last Stand or X-Men Origins. "Hell, they've already bought that mutants exist, why should they complain when we mix a mutant all together and have them inexplicably appear at the end of the movie?" "BUt that's not realistic sir?" "Yeah, but it's a comic book movie. So what?"

It's patronizing to think that all realism should be thrown out just because you're audience bought one or two fantastic elements.

Like I said, your argument is so fundamentally flawed it's sad.
It would be so comforting if this were condensed into a simple and condensed phrase, as to easier counter the misinterpretations of terms such as 'gritty', 'realistic', and 'grounded'.

Verisimilitude just doesn't seem to cover the complexities behind the foundations you've eloquently explained. Agreed all the same however. :up:

You are talking about realism in a world where people have super powers. The movie being more realistic because Peter Parker made his own costume but then climbing out his bedroom window and swinging to fight a lizard man isn't realistic.

I find that argument flawed. It's great that you like a more realistic suit to you, but don't say that him making the suit makes the movie more realistic and therefore better. The only superhero movie with any hints of realism and a realistic take is Nolan's Batman.

And what just happens to be one of the most successful -- if not THE MOST successful -- comic book movie franchise of all time?

And I would argue that the first two X-Men embrace realism too, and restrain themselves whenever possible to challenge themselves.

I never said that him making the suit alone makes the movie better. In fact, I made not one comment on the quality of this film.

I said I like the suit because it looks like something someone could make, and if I think of Peter Parker existing in our world -- if such a thing could happen -- I imagine he'd have to make his own suit.

Don't put words in my mouth to try and make an argument you can win.

Also, this is all basic step-by-step formula, and it's the reason nearly all fan fiction fails. They don't question the material:

Is it realistic that a boy would take a field trip? Yes.
Is it realistic that a boy could get in an accident at that field trip? Yes.
Is it realistic that some scientific process causes a spider to contiminate a being? Yes.
Is it realistic that that boy will get super-powers? No.

But see, you already have your auidence embedded in the realism of it that the last part, you get get pass. This is writing 101, people. Everyone from Aristotle to Harold Pinter would spell that out for you, and although we live in a society where being a blogger apparently makes you rival those two aforementioned geniuses, I'd say their's is the safest best.

But now let's go to the suit? Having these powers, is it realistic that this person would find and make a perfect, movie-quality, ultra-expensive suit?

Well, no. Why? 1 -- having superpowers has nothing to do with getting a suit of the quality that Raimi's Spider-Man magically appeared with. So to say A leads to B makes no sense.

But, now being a teeanger with some science background, could I believe he could make a pretty good suit from parts and...even still...mechanical webshooters? Yeah, I could get on board that.

You're linking one unrealistic element to another unrealistic element when one does not lead naturally to the other. When film's do this, you instantly sense it and they almost awlays feel awkward and contrived.

I am not trying to win arguments:huh: When I see people going on about a costume's realism but ignoring the fantastical elements in that world, I think that is funny. Hence my post about wanting to get superpowers. I don't think when anybody was reading the original run that birthed this great character we all know and love, they thought about how Peter couldn't possibly make a costume. Then again TDK, very realistic, but Bruce Wayne isn't a seamstress and neither is Lucius Fox. Nobody in Wayne Tech is going to make a full blown costume for Batman. So Bruce pieced together his suit. Yet people didn't sit in the theater and say Bruce couldn't have made that.

There are (very few) specific pictures of me where I look quite handsome. Completely rubbish, I'm butt-ugly.

I'm hoping this is the reverse, and the suit is actually better looking. Don't think that'll be the case though, but hoping Garfield can out-spiderman the suit.

The blue of the new suit kinda looks like it has the same pattern as the old suit. This might be the dumbest question of all time, but is there any chance they used the old Tobey suit and just customized it to fit the needs of the new movie?

*runs away in fear*

Sony was trying to save money so who knows. Maybe they threw the old costume into a conveyer belt to stretch out a bit for Garfield's build and called it a day.

Yeah saw the debunking on CNN and CBS. Its not really that he lied its more that this doesn't affect those in the western hemisphere zodiac system.

Its existed for a while now but us westerners use the tropical zodiac not the sidereel one. Whatever that means.

So we can still be whatever sign we were before or whatever.

This definitely looks like the final suit to me. And a badass one at that. :up:

I don't see what the problem is. So, its a little different than the previous and albeit awesome Raimi suit, I still immediately recognize it as being Spidey.

My first thought when seeing the picture was "Wow, he looks awesome" then I noticed the few cosmetic changes to the suit. I'm used to it already. Everything is 100% exact on the Green Lantern suit, but i've grown to dig that one too.

I thought the suit was pretty gross at first but it's already starting to grow on me.

I'm ok with the webbing fading because if I was making my own Spider-Man suit doing the webbing would get tedious and I'd give up too. And that's what it looks like to me, Peter's first attempt/work in progress Spidey suit.

I actually liked the organic web shooters in the original, it was a good move to keep the story moving along and made it easy for the non-comic fans to digest the character.

However, I'm really stoked they're going with the real thing this time. It's an element that will give the new story and character something fresh to tell on screen.

and the Spalding suit is classic!

Taking this costume as the final version of what it will look like, and not some battle-damaged version:

The Sam Raimi Spider-Man costume was almost perfect, with only the raised, silver webbing letting it down. This one, however, doesn’t even have webs - just generic cross-hatched lines. Factoring in that Raimi and his designers done the heavy lifting ten years ago, and that Andrew Garfield’s physique is a better match for Spidey than Tobey Maguire’s - it shouldn’t have been that hard to deliver an amazing looking costume. The lack of a belt on this is a huge design flaw and this costume looks all the worse for it. Steve Ditko knew what he was doing.

Incredibly well said.

Just to many aspects that act as a turn off. Useless seams, half melted webbing, daddy long legs insignia, porous texture, lack of red arrow belt, asymmetrical lining.

I mean thats just way to much to overlook after getting something like this:

My first reaction is that this is a great picture and I love the suit. When I first saw the Raimi suit I thought it looked good but I always felt a little let down by it. It seemed a little too perfect and shiny. This obviously looks more realistic considering the story of the costume and there's some depth to it. I don't know. I really like it.

routhman

01-14-2011, 01:44 AM

It is unfortunate for those who do not like the suit. That said, I think it's a bit of a shock for some people right now, and in time, I expect many people to come around to it. Personally, I think the suit looks very cool, gritty, and organic.

Kurt Wagner

01-14-2011, 01:49 AM

How so??,How could it be fair to fully compare shots from the last 3 movies to this one shot??.....I mean it don't even show the whole suit from past the knees or before getting into a battle!.

I just think people should wait for a 2nd shot and especially in motion from at least a trailer!,Yes this is pretty clear shot But there's no mask here and not a much clean version of the suit.

Are you serious? I don't need to see that suit to know it sucks. That red torso portion is phallic. Every time Spidey is crouching in one of his signature poses, it's screaming, "hey audience members, look at my spidey crotch!" No thank you. The red belt section helped separate the torso and leg sections of the costume, thereby minimizing that.

What do you mean by "asymmetrical lining" and "half melted webbing?" Nothing on the costume is asymmetrical, and I don't see "half melted webbing." The suit's clearly dirty and has had some of it's finish scrapped off by whatever hell Peter's been put through, but it would seem pretty dubious to criticize the suit for being banged up.

01-14-2011, 02:02 AM

Have you heard, this is a reboot, with none of the same actors, directors, or costumes.

I liked the Raimi costume too. But I love the new one as well.

I don't understand all the hate. I think it's denial or something.

Let me break it down for you. All the hate for this costume comes from primarily the lack of respect towards the classic costume. The red and blue are fine. But what makes the costume classic is the proportions of red and blue on the suit, along with the classic web pattern on the red portions. raimi's version had the classic look, while incorporating changes, such as raised silver webbing.

This new costume doesn't respect the classic look. It's simply change for the sake of change. It's change because Sony wanted a reboot after Spider-Man 4 didn't work out. It's change just to separate it from Raimi's Spider-Man. It's not inspired change... and that's another reason why it sucks ass.

Wow, I havent been here in superhero hype for for long.
Well, I am kinda disappointed that they didnt stick to the original one that we used to love. But, this new suit is def very modern to me. which it is good thing
Okay guys, think... compare..
If all people in world havent heard about spider man before ( for example), what would they pick original one or new one. In my option i think they probably would pick the new. Maybe i am wrong. I am just saying that i think we need to open up and think fresh. Just thinking about that.
So as a comic book fan my major complaint is how they change so much of what made the characters who they were. my point...comic book fans are the only people who are going to care THAT MUCH about something that really isn't all that much of a big deal to most people.
Like belt and arrow, glove...isnt THAT big deal to other people.

I like the new suit...like KILLING JOKER just said, it has some much needed depth. I do miss the red going around the waist though. I already prefer it too the Raimi suit, not so flash and Andrew really helps it with his body shape. The mask is next to see...pray for more rounded eyes! :D

I personally hope it's a case of suit improvement over the course of sequels and stuff too. The etched in webs with us ending up with a classically styled Spidey suit in the manner of this promo image.

01-14-2011, 02:04 AM

I added some webbing to the midsection and made the mask look closer to the rest of the suit. I don't make manips often (i prefer drawing from scratch) but i'm starting to have some fun :)

How does this work for you all? I think i'll play with the gloves for you guys later.

The suit's clearly dirty and has had some of it's finish scrapped off by whatever hell Peter's been put through, but it would seem pretty dubious to criticize the suit for being banged up.

I see the dirt and the battle scars, I'm not including that in my assessment.

The webbing. Because it lacks black outlining in some of the lines while you can clearly tell it's only painted on top but is missing the same amount of attention on the sides. For example look at the area near his top right shoulder and compare how the black is painted on to the webbing less accurately than through the upper middle part of the costume.

http://splashpage.mtv.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/symbol.jpg

Nothing on the costume is asymmetrical

You sure about that? I see several asymmetrical aspects of the costume.

Lets start off with the webbing which turns less and less into webbing but more of a grid pattern as it gets closer to the groin. Thats where the asymmetry begins to kick in also check out the neck line. No grid line is identical to the one on its opposite side.

This furthers the messy amateurish look which I've said several times was more than likely intentional. There's even a subtle slant towards the left which implies someone who isn't familiar with designing costumes had the job of sewing or whatever explanation they use to create it.

Nice to see they are paying attention to that but I find it unnecessary if it means its going to detract from a more pleasing aesthetic albeit unbelievably designed costume that an 18 year wouldn't be able to do, fine.

I could suspend my disbelief if that were the case seeing as Peter Parker is a genius. The audience could give him the benefit of the doubt and say "Heck maybe tailoring is part of his scientific genius".

Also the glossy/rubbery porous texture of the costume doesn't help it which gives him a somewhat toy like feel to him. e.g (Not the design obviously as its a SM2 toy but to give you a reference of what I mean when I say "gloss"):

If this is indeed the final design, I have to give Webb credit for having the balls to make these changes knowing how rabid spidey fanboys can be. After the lynching Raimi got, you'd think the most they would have changed with regards to the costume would be the fabrics and materials used. Anyway, I need to see more.

The costume is meh. The Raimi suit was better. I think Garfield has a better Spider-Man physique than Tobey did (Tobey was more Romita vs Garfield's Ditko), but Tobey had a better Parker look than Garfield does and better costume.

To be honest, I don't understand making a definite costume comparison between the two yet, especially considering that we haven't seen this costume in motion nor have we even seen the mask. I love Raimi's costume, but I think I can love this costume too.

Personally, I think the basketball comparison is a bit ridiculous, along with comparing it to Raimi's costme (though the latter was inevitable), but that's just me.

Will I like the action scenes? If well done, absolutely thats a no brainer.

There seems to be one major misunderstanding of the people who have a serious problem with the design of the costume. First impressions count and so far I haven't liked a thing about this costume. For example TDK is a great movie to the point where the 2nd Batman suits (one of the weakest) can be overlooked due to the movie being great. The same will apply to the Spider-Man reboot if its in fact a really good movie.

Nothing will change my mind on whether I find the costume appealing or not thats just something that either clicks with an individual or doesn't for me it didn't. I don't want to be mean because I realize a lot of people like the costume but I've tried letting it sink in but thats just not happening. If anything the more I look at the more I dislike it so I've just stopped looking at it altogether.

Still, I'm really looking forward to watch this movie. I'm also still somewhat excited about the mask which might redeem the costume for me if its awesome enough.

I couldn't be happier with the suit. Garfield looks great, like Peter Parker come to life. Even in a still photo he looks fast and agile. Love how the suit captures a classic Spidey feel and yet looks incredibly modern. And those metallic pieces have to be webshooters. Just awesome.

PS- all the twilight comparisons need to stop. its completely baseless and inane. nothing about the suit is emo or angsty, it just makes you sound crazy.

I want to see the costume in action, but my first reaction is : terrible costume. Spidey looks like a godamn surfer from the 90's. Garfield may be an excellent spiderman, maybe better than tobey, but the costume didn't bring him justice

Exactly my thoughts on first seeing, though I will reserve a bit of judgement until I see it in motion and with the mask.

I don't know why, but I'm still getting the impression that this may not be the final suit. Maybe it was something to just hold us over?

Saint

01-14-2011, 05:18 AM

The webbing. Because it lacks black outlining in some of the lines while you can clearly tell it's only painted on top but is missing the same amount of attention on the sides. For example look at the area near his top right shoulder and compare how the black is painted on to the webbing less accurately than through the upper middle part of the costume.
As I said, clearly some of the finish (which is to say, the painted webs) has been scraped off the costume by whatever battle Peter's been in. Again, I think it's dubious to criticize the costume based on what appears to be damage it's sustained. It literally looks like Peter's been dragged across asphalt.

If we see a picture of the costume in good condition and it still looks as grungy (which I suppose is entirely possible), then we can come back to this, but for the time being I'm going to file it under battle damage.

You sure about that? I see several asymmetrical aspects of the costume.

Lets start off with the webbing which turns less and less into webbing but more of a grid pattern as it gets closer to the groin.
Since the costume has never been symmetrical vertically (that is to say, the bottom the same as the top), only horizontally, the fact that the webbing fades down the center makes it no more asymmetrical than it would have otherwise been.

Thats where the asymmetry begins to kick in also check out the neck line. No grid line is identical to the one on its opposite side.
They look symmetrical to me--you can follow each neck line up from his chest, and they all have a counterpart on the opposite side, I think some merely appear to be at different angles because of the way the costume is sitting on the body in that position.

There's even a subtle slant towards the left which implies someone who isn't familiar with designing costumes had the job of sewing or whatever explanation they use to create it.
I don't see any slant. Part of the spider is a little off center, but again, when you put a costume on a body, things like that are going to happen from time to time. It's not deliberate, or at least it doesn't appear that way to me.

I'll reserve judgment for now, and have my wishes for a trilogy that will be better IMO than Nolan's Batman

wow seeing those two suits together...It makes Toby's costume look like a bad cosplay.

And I only say that because IMO its obvious that Andrew's Suit is half finished. No way would they half do the suit like it's done in that picture. This clearly is when he first makes what will become his propper costume but he didn't finish.

Next morning, I still think it looks good, but the gloves are of an awful design, looks like the kind of whacky lines you would get on kid's gloves that i wore when I was a toddler.

what it could be, is the lizard has ripped the costume, exposing the black material under the red that makes up the webbing. Because from the looks of the scratches on his face and costume, it seems like the aftermath of a Lizard scrap, i doubt it's anything to do with that proto Goblin guy.

Personally i'm still not sure on the new suit, I know i prefer the Raimi version better and always will.

I do find it odd though how only a few days ago pretty much everyone loved the Raimi costume yet those people are now bashing it.

I have only been reading through this thread, but I don't see evidence of that at all. Everyone did not love the old suit, there have been many debates and slag offs of the old suit. I don't see any hypocritical comments here in that regard at all, just people weighing up what they like and don't, with some comparisons to the old suit and the comics.
You sir, are trying to start up some controversy.:cwink:

Are you kidding?
I don't get how people are trying to now through the Raimi Spider-man suit under the bus considering that at the time it was a completely ground breaking design in terms of costuming, They managed to maintain a look consistent with the comics while keeping their lead actor and stunt men looking like they had the same build through a complex muscle suit that was light and flexible at the same time. That they invented a silkscreening process for the suit and laid the visible webbing down in a carefully controlled process.

I think you need a better shot of the Raimi suit to compare, because when it looked good (and when Tobey was in better shape, like in 2) it looked good. That shot, not so much.

***
Anyway, I love the material they're using on the suit, and the colors as well. As many have said, it's still recognizably Spider-Man while being different from the costume in the Raimi films. The only thing that bugs me is, like others, the lack of belt, and the blue by the gloves. Fill that in with red instead and it'd look outstanding.

And as for the context of the shot (assuming it is directly from the movie and the background isn't shopped in):

Obviously, he's just fought a supervillain, who I'm going to assume is The Lizard. Now, it could be the first fight, where he gets his ass kicked for the first time, hence his reaction. Or, it could be after the final battle with the death of George Stacy, and he's walking home depressed and all because he failed to save him.

Just a guess, anyway.

Photochopping in the little belt strip really does make it look a lot better.

Probably the peeps at Sony knew this and that's why they released a pic with a damaged, incomplete suit. Because while you're ranting and raging over the new suit, you're also thinking about their movie and helping spread the word.

In my opinion, superhero costumes do not make or break the movies. See the Nolan's Bat films, different costume, but a great movie nonetheless. But with that in mind, I also believe that a costume that is faithful to the comics as much as possible brings bonus points to the movie. It adds to the wow/cool/awesome factor. There's something that tickles the fanboy in me when a live action costume is faithful and looks cool at the same time (see Iron Man and Spider-Man). Although the Dark Knight is better as a film than the Spidey films, the Spidey ones gets bonus points for having more faithful costumes. But as I said, it does not make or break the movie for me.

Having said that, I like this costume, very much, but it could have been more faithful. It's wrong to judge the costume through this pic because obviously Parker's just been to a battle with this one. I'll reserve judgment til I see it in motion.

When I compared the reboot pic to this: http://www.soundonsight.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/spiderman_2_movie_image_tobey_maguire__1_1.jpg, I believe that the Raimi costume is better. The reboot one both took away and added unnecessary stuff to the costume. It was perfect the way it is in the comics. But still, it's just a costume. Just like the reboot Parker hair and his fashion sense, these don't make or break a movie. They're just bonuses for a fanboy like me.

I had time to think it over, taking away from my initial reaction and I still don't love it, but it's alright. I really like the colors and the blue fabric/detail is really good. I wish they would have done the same for the red. The red still looks rubbery to me. I hope the belt is entirely red. No yellow or blue please. Just make it all red. Still hate the gloves and I hope the boots aren't the same as the gloves...which they probably will be. The mask is really going to make it or break it for me. If it's like that manip above, then I will be okay with it. If the mask sucks then I am not going to even bother trying to convince myself to like it. That said, it won't affect how I judge the movie. I am fine with changes as long as the movie is good. If the movie sucks then I am going to go all out on it. I am indifferent about it at this point.

"Cheap" -- in comparison. That sentence was structured as easy it could possibly be for the layman, I don't know why you misconstrued it.

This is generally how technology and modern design works. What was revolutionary of yesteryear falls to the wayside when put against a newer and improved model of today. I've gone through most of the posts in the threads, I don't think I've come across a single one that retroactively tried to erase what the Raimi suits were for its time.

Well, to be fair, Batman has had different/modified looks over the years. Spider-Man's suit, while having minor tweaks, has still pretty much remained the same except for the big Mcfarlane eyes, changes of webbing on the costume, etc. Just minor things like that. Batman's outfit has been changed over the years.

01-14-2011, 09:45 AM

After almost a day to soak it up and ponder, I'm convinced that I like the suit a lot! They had to do something a little different, which I understand. Aside from raised webbing and a few other contrasting details, the Raimi suit WAS the original, classic Spidey. Even if this change in suit is primarily an incentive for the general audiences, I can repsect it. This suit has an upgraded/organic look to it, yet still captures the essence of the classic suit IMO.

--{SLIGHTLY OFF TOPIC ALERT}--

Aside from the suit, I think they are trying to follow the source material pretty closely. Not much has been released as far as the story; however, just looking at Pete's build and realizing that Gwen Stacy is in the FIRST movie speaks volumes to me, at this point!

Lizard is not confirmed but Connors pretty much is. For all we know, Lizard could be set up to be the baddie for the next movie. But I would say it's a safe bet he will be the villain in the movie.

material looks great. coloring looks great.

what looks bad? gloves. not knowing if this is how it looks for most of the movie or if it looks incomplete because of the apparent damage sustained. also the symbol looks odd and the costume really needs the red belt-ish pattern.

a look at the mask would be nice.

I think they took some inspiration from some other versions of the suit he's had in the comics. LIke when Ben Reily was Spider-man:

http://media.comicvine.com/uploads/3/36089/760374-sm06_super.jpg

no belt, the gloves have blue and red, larger spider in the middle

And Maybe a little from the Alex Ross deisgn.

http://images52.fotki.com/v641/photos/2/25718/4823493/spiderman4-vi.jpg

So they borrowed a few elements without completely diverging from the original. It's more than acceptable to me as a way to differentiate from the previous trilogy. They've come up with a design that is different yet faithful. Nice.

01-14-2011, 10:54 AM

I don't know if people have noticed but I think is cool how the suit has a light blue color tone but black texture on top to make it look like its dark blue.

Also Iam thinking that what was torn off by whoever spidey was fighting(lizard) wasn't just a spandex red piece but an actual cartridge belt.

I'm thinking that lizard saw that when spidey runs out of web he presses to shot but instead of web the mechanism is programed if you will to just shot the cartridge out when its empty and then spidey takes a cartridge and places it in the cartridge holder just like you would replace a gun magazine. So lizard ripped the belt from him when he noticed that the belt was feeding web to him.

Heck it would be cool if the holder was magnetic and spidey slided his wrist on the belt over the cartridge and it felt into place ready to shoot!

What's up with that midsection? The webbing doesn't look like webbing. I'm not feeling the gloves. At all. The texturing is overdone. The symbol is all wrong. I do not like this costume.

Pumpkin_Bomb

01-14-2011, 11:11 AM

I'm glad to see some people are coming around on it. People are entitled to nitpick, I know I always do (and did with the Raimi version) but I'm glad that people seem to at least recognize that any issues with this suit are comparatively minor.

Myself, I really like this suit, even if what we're seeing is incomplete. I kind of like the 'slash' of blue in the gloves. As far as the lack of a belt is concerned, as of now, I'm one of the ones assuming that it's been torn off in the fight. Not only is there that as-yet-unexplained patch of red on his left hip, but there are seams or lines of some kind on the suit that clearly trace the pattern of the belt, and I don't see a reason that those would be present if there wasn't supposed to be something there. That said, if I'm wrong, it's not a deal-breaker for me. I still think the suit looks awesome so far. Can't wait for a mask.

As for the material, I like it. Maybe it's because it reminds me of a motocross suit, and a lot of the 'real-life superheroes' out there use motocross suits as the base part of their suits. Regardless, I'm impressed so far, and I look forward to seeing more.

^ Yeah, I pointed out Alex Ross' design before. Reilly certainly came to mind with the spider, but I had forgotten that some versions of him had the red abdominal area ending so high up (my action figure had it lower down, to the belt area as though he still had it but the blue was just all filled in with red). Good source pic. :up:

Well it's true. People have to let go, that's why some people are having a tough time with this suit, they held the prior trilogy with such regard and have hard time letting it go. This reboot is happening. If they're going to see it, they give it up already. You can have your opinion sure, but when it comes down to it, it is what it is, this will be the new Spider-Man.

01-14-2011, 11:47 AM

I voted "okay", because you still get the Spidey vibe from this suit, so it works for me. It just that, with the Cap's suit, Batman's suit, Wolverine's suit in X-Men, Green Lantern's suit and even Thor suit, I get the idea why they had to change it. But with Spidey suit, I really don't get the idea why they would have to change it (other than to just make some distance from the other trilogy), it's just that it's such an iconic suit, and it's been proven that he can work with his comic appearance in big screen, so I don't get the redesign. Again, it's really a minor complain, you still get it's Spidey and the suit won't make me not go see this movie :)

Now what I like about that shot, what looks like the webshooters, that's nice :) we can see a brand new Spidey dynamic on the big screen (because let's face it, there's no way he won't be out of web fluid at least once in the movie, it happened all the time in the comics lol), and Andrew Garfield looks really nice as Peter Parker, to be honest in just this shot, I got more the feeling I'm looking at peter Parker than in all three other Spider Man movies lol :)

So, for me, lots of win, a little fail :)

How can fans 100% like this but gripe over Raimi's Green Goblin Power Ranger suit? I'd like to know, personally from people, why the changes in the suit work for you but what Raimi did with Green Goblin didn't or some of his other changes?

Because this suit retains the spirit and basic design of the original. With the exception of the fact that it was green and had a goblin-like face, there was absolutely nothing about the Goblin costume in SM1 that was in any way relevant to the original. If not for the glider, it would have been damn near unrecognizable to a lot of fans.

And before I get some response saying "so you want a cloth halloween costume with a cheesy rubber mask instead," there are plenty of ways that the costume could have been updated/adapted for film/made more 'serious' or 'intimidating', whatever, without making it a monochromatic, shiny eyesore.

storyteller

01-14-2011, 11:54 AM

The image from Spiderman 2 that has been posted is just a bad image. The blue and red are more muted then it was in the film. The Garfield image has obviously been color corrected. Pick a screen shot from Spiderman 1 or 2. Those really show off the suit and makes it look less cheap. The current one makes Tobey's suit look flat and ruins the detailing of the texture that Garfields suit gets to show off. Also that darker mood in his image contrasts with the clean not battle damaged Tobey.

I also think the stomach webbing is there but its not the traditional webbing pattern. Also the Green Goblin suit without the mask does lose the "its the green goblin vibe". I think they could have found a balance where he looked like a "goblin" but kept an under armor. Thats what Dr Doom essential does. He has a battle suit but covers with with a traditional robe.

I, as many others have already said, also think his belt is missing (Lizard probably did it).

Oh, and when seeing this pic, it's clear that Sony also wants to show the tone of the film I think. It looks pretty dark indeed. And I like it tbh. And, when I see this pic, I SO want to have Green Goblin in the sequel. I'd love to see how this team would design his suit too.

Now there's a good comparison shot. :up: (2 ftw.)

I would've liked the blue and red to be a bit more vibrant (which the reboot suit approaches very tastefully) and the eye shape to convey more energy, but overall that material hugs nicely to him there and doesn't make him look like a plush doll like in the other shot we've been looking at. The webbing and classic style were also pulled together really nicely.

I think that the picture's from after his first battle with the Lizard, maybe he ran out of web or something...? And decides to add the belt, which would hold the cartridges, nothing bulky, still sleek and slim, and would also give it a more finished and complete look. :D

Web shooters look gold to me, though it could just be the light...
Have any of you seen the full size image of this?
I for one cannot stand this costume...
It looks ridiculous and absolutely terrible...
Garfield said when he put it on that he cried... After seeing this design, I know know why...

Oh, and before anyone says anything.... I HATE / LOATHE all 3 Raimi movies.
The costume Tobey wore, at least had the main design correct, except for the colours and raised webbing...

At least it looks plausably home-made, the Raimi suit looked far too clean and perfect, so that's something the new suit has going for it

The new costume looks like a basketball. :p

I got it! They want to reach out to sports. They will make "Spidey basketballs" which carry the same colors and a spider symbol. It will look like authentic pieces of the suit. :D

Even more of a reason, i expect him to have wanted to suit up in the REAL spider-Man suit, and then they gave him this.....
His dream will never be realized...
I want to hear the opinions of the creators and artists about this suit design...

I don't know why alot of people assume Peter made his suit in SM1. I mean, they never showed or told us anything, but we have evidence from the novel that says someone from the wrestling arena who was beaten by Bonesaw had it made for him as an appreciative gift or something to that effect.

End of that discussion, guys. :o

This new suit does not look homemade either, but if it's sloppy like that, it's more believable. The webs don't look like webs, and the seams are just not as well hidden.

Because it's a blue wetsuit with red painted on it, look at the super hi res pic, the paint fades into blue down the middle, also it looks like the webbing was done by scraping the red paint away. I say wetsuit because I've seen that exact same "basketball" texture on certain types of suit before

The design is fine I just am not to fond of the texture. I'm reserving judgement until I see it in action.

in spider-man 2, spider-man tells the guy in the elevator that he made the suit.

That's true, but Spidey can lie. I just go by what the novel says, as it seems most logical. I can't see Spidey in the elevator telling the guy the whole story, he didn't want to talk to him anyway.

that is a completely retarded explanation, some random dude made spiderman's costume? If I was a struggling pro wrestler I'd probably cash in on knowing the identity of spiderman

Sorry you'd be kind of a jerk? :whatever:

I could be wrong but I'd LIKE to think it was that Flying Dutchman guy. I don't feel like looking it up. He was thankful and appreciative of Spidey, and I guess as a token of gratitude he let him use his tailor to make a suit for him. I don't think he sat there at home and made it himself.

It strikes me as a very odd explanation either way, I guess outing spidey would be a dick move though

I could be mental but I like the idea of a loose fitting belt as part of the costume, since there isn't a red band on the suit, since they appear to be going with the mechanical web shooters he'd probably need somewhere for spares

they're certainly tight, and something like a 5mm suit would be quite airy. In any case I'm saying it could be a wet suit in the context of the film, the fact that the one garfield is wearing is not isn't the point really, just trying to justify him being able to make the suit in the context of the story

Disappointing!

The texture is great, the spider is great, the webbing is interesting but the totally unnessecary changes to the gloves and the mid-section completely ruin it for me. This is Superman Returns bad imho. Most classic costume elements are there but they eff it up the overall design.

It's simply disappointing, especially after the Raimi suit showed that you can stay true to the comic design and still do a great looking suit. If they just wouldn't have messed with the classic design and used those material and webs as well as the spider... it would have indeed been awesome, better than the Raimi suit, but with the design changes they made, sorry no, not that interested in this reboot anymore.

Because of a costume? yeah because the story and plotline doesn't matter at all...:whatever: we've seen one picture. One picture and people now don't like the reboot all of a sudden?? :huh: c'mon people it's not like its the end of the world or anything.

Example of a rubber mask. AS cool as this looks, it would have had to be done with a rubber mask... or prosthetics, both which don't make sense for the movie or character.

Would you care to sit through 30+ minutes from a 2+ hours movie watching a suit looking ugly to you?

I think you have misdirected your anger and disappointment. You should be angry at the souls that have huge clouds shadowing their intelligence in not being able to distinguish that these new movies are meant to be different from Raimi's movies. Had this not been the case, it is more than likely they wouldn't need to make such conspicuous changes to the costume just to make a statement of differentiation.
