No matter what I may say to you, you'll always have a blind hatred for the movie, so I'm not bothering with you in here or the X-Men First Class threads. :whatever:

[chaseter]

now your just not being honest. the first one doesnt even look like it fits him well.

you may not like the design details, but making judgements on them when they are seen the way the were not intended to is unfair.

do you look at that katy perry pic that russel brand posted of her with no makup rolling out of bed and decide whether or not she's pretty?

I don't like the design period. I don't see any issues with the 'fit'. I don't have any issues with the color. Lighting isn't going to change anything that I don't like. If people have issues with the colors, contrast, shininess...then they should wait to see an official pic. If they don't like the lack of belt, racing stripes, lack of a back spider, gloves, etc...then lighting isn't going to change that.

I guess a girl with a huge mole, bad teeth, a lazy eye, and a double chin will be a beauty queen under some amazing lighting?

[Mrpaul]

Spidey does have a mix of some other costumes

[Immortalfire]

I am beginning to hate the webbing. It needs to stand out more. Why did they have to indent the webbing and not raise it? :csad:

Because raised webbing is the unpardonable sin.

HAHA blind hatred. I didn't know I wasn't going to go see X-Men or Spider-Man. News to me! I need to go edit where I said I was 100% ready for X-Men. I need to go edit where I said I can look over this costume if it works in the context of the movie and also that I hope this movie is good.

[Venom75]

It just looks so...weird. Maybe in the film it will look better,but I'm not impressed thus far. The one thing that made me do a double take were those silver boots. What the hell?

[bunk]

What's going on with the boots? That's the only part that really bothers me. Otherwise, it's just another variation of the red and blue costume. I could really care less whether it copies the classic design or not.

[Whiskey Tango]

They're slippers! He borrowed 'em from Iron Fist! :argh:

[El Payaso]

Well, at least we can put the "It's his prototype-wrestler costume he wore to chase Uncle Ben's killer" crap to rest. That's the suit, and IMHO, there really is no contest between this and Raimi's. Raimi's was comic perfection.

It's strictly because Raimi's was comic perfection, however, that I at least respect this costume. They had to do something to distinguish themselves, and it's ok in that regard. Story and characterization trumps all, so this could still end up being the best Spidey movie ever, but this is a costume thread, so...

I don't mind a change as long as they don't screw up, like, everything. They screwed the webs for god's sake.

[El Payaso]

http://www.**************.com/images/uploads/spider-man-575.jpg

Seriously... It doesn't look anywhere near as bad as people are making it out to be. The seams everywhere give off a little bit of a tracksuit vibe but whatever, it's still a great suit. It's still Spider-Man. Anybody that can't see that is either blind, stupid or both. ;D

Heh, yes. It totally looks like Spiderman... the toy from a 99 cents store. You know, that kind of fake toys where they have to change the design for copyrights and stuff... :csad:

And, as happy as I am about the mechanical web shooters, wtf are they so big?
yeah....they're almost to the point of being tacky they're so big. should have been designed more streamlined. hell, i would have been fine with just showing a small silver nozzle poking out of the suit like Romita JR draws. this is a little much.

Look at the difference in the suit between these pictures:

http://www.hollywoodchicago.com/uploaded_images/batsuit_back-772800.jpg

http://www.collider.com/uploads/imageGallery/Batman_The_Dark_Knight/batman_the_dark_knight_image.jpg



What a huge difference between the spy pictures and the actual suit we saw in the moive!

It's not lighting. I agree that the coloring of the red and blue does not matter as the film is obviously going to be lit darkly (given the hints of tone and the overall look of production stills giving off a teen-TDK vibe), but the design of the suit itself stinks. It just looks bad. I'm sure it was influenced by other minor costumes throughout comicdom, but it looks ugly. Especially compared to the Raimi costumes.

When I see those shots of TDK's Batman...it looks like Batman even if it is brightly lit unlike the movie (well...save for the interrogation scene that hid nothing), but it still looks like Batman. This Spidey costume looks like some bad fanmade thing at a comic convention of some sort. It just is a bad design, in my opinion.

[Spider-Who?]

Very very close, only a very few minor changes need to be made....

heh, yeah, i'm not gonna make changes to it...(is it wrong that i like my interpretation of the new suit better than what the new suit turned out to be?)

[spida-man]

is this such a big deal that we really need 3 different threads about the same subject?

[Spider-Who?]

I like this design way better. Except the boots.

http://img24.imageshack.us/i/spider2012.jpg/
http://img24.imageshack.us/i/spider2012.jpg/
It's more symmetrical, the lines are straighter, and webbing is more visible. I don't like how shiny and leathery the new suit looks.
thanks. though somebody else added the back spider....dont remember who.

[ben_reilly_s_s]

One thing people should start preparing themselves for is the fact that even IF this is just the Stunt Suit, that these metallic "shoe-things" just might also be on the Hero Suit as well...

As someone posted above me - He's running around practically Barefoot... This would be a "real-world" way of dealing with that, would it not?

[Whiskey Tango]

LOL are we gonna start a new thread and poll every time a pic is released?

May I suggest merging or closing some of these? There is no need for three costume threads.

The colors definitely matter. Are you actually suggesting the events in this movie will take place mostly at night? This seems incredibly unlikely. I wouldn't be so quick to base so much of the look of this movie off of one image.

[Spider-Aziz]

Marc didn't ruin the Spidey suit, he approved on showing a moderately bad looking suit
I wish they kept his costume closer to the comics look

[DACrowe]

They seem to want to keep it darkly lit. And it is going for at least a darker tone with Capt. Stacy looking like he stepped out of a Nolan Batman movie and the first official image being of Spidey maskless, beaten, in the dark with his suit muddied and bloodied.

But the color shading will not change that the costume is a terrible design. The stripes on the legs? The gloves? The narrow red mesh that drops along his stomach like a landing strip?

It is just bad in my opinion. It looked blah in the official image (which is closer to how it will probably look in the movie) and in bright light that doesn't hide anything it looks worse. I can already bet in the sequel that will likely happen that this costume will not return.

[Mig-El]

It looks like Peter ran out of the red fabric.

I'm not feeling the suit right now. Bad...at least until we see how it looks in footage.

I've been wondering this, too. It's rather annoying that there are 2-3 threads all discussing the suit at the same time. Should get these suckers merged.

yet another post that illustrates why it's hard to take many fans on SHH seriously. you're telling me that you see Batman in those candid photos but you don't see Spider-Man in these new candid photos? that suit is 95% Spider-Man!!! as for your 'fanmade' comment, i don't even know how to respond to that. it's obviously a good quality suit as we can see from the official picture that was released not too long ago. it seems like you're not taking into consideration that this is a candid, low rez photo.

if you're gonna complain about the design, that's one thing...but don't go trying to make it seem like it's not a Spider-Man design or that it's not of quality. i've already expressed that i don't like the strip going up his leg. that's a logical gripe.....but implying that you don't see Spider-Man in that design is friggin' ridiculous.

[Spidey_62]

I'm not sure if anybody else has read this, I figured I'd post it.


Moreover, the costume's bright colors are a concession to the technical requirements of the film. Using the RED EPIC 3-D HD camera — particularly in night shooting — necessitates increased contrast to make the 3-D effect work (flat images don't separate well), thus requiring a far brighter costume that has high contrast between the red and blue. The RED EPIC has been compared in some circles to the quality of VistaVision, the higher resolution, widescreen variant of the 35mm motion picture film format which was created by engineers at Paramount Pictures in 1954. Translation: an extremely cinematic look.

[CrypticOne]

Yeah, I'm pretty sure they'll fix the brightness later on in post production. The only thing that really nags me about it, like people have said before, is that red stripe down the legs. Doesn't look like it belongs, but we can't judge off these pictures yet.

[Majik1387]

I must be the only one who likes the stripe going down the leg.

[cryptic name]

i don't really have a strong felling about it one way or the other, but i love the suit as a whole

[Majik1387]

The only thing I dislike about it so far is the silver shoes, but I'm convinced those are just stunt shoes for the scene.

And while this could be the wrestling suit as so many here wish it to be, I don't like that excuse; because even if he modified it to look like classic Spidey, they'd be complaining that how did no one in NYC see the similarities between the wrestling suit and the "final" suit and deduct Spidey is Peter.

And to those saying he can jump 10 feet or something, sure, maybe with some build up ala running and then jumping. He'd look awkward to just randomly jump somewhere 10 feet with no build up.

This is the final suit, and yes, I still think he lost a belt at some point prior to this scene. He's out of web fluid, no web fluid cartridges from his belt, so now he can only go on foot. Could I be wrong? Sure, but it's not like I take candid shots from a some spectators as official proof of what we're getting in terms of design.

No, no, no. How can you tell we're on a fan site? Because there is a large contingency of people who love anything that is absolutely new about any film of their chosen obsession and will defend it to the bitter end (or until a sequel/remake/reboot comes along, at least) and then take it as a personal attack that someone has a different opinion.

That as well as an equally large group that hate anything is what makes it a fansite. I still am open minded about the movie and like Garfield for the part a lot. I am not complaining about JJJ being gone or the Jim Gordon-ized Capt. Stacy or even the Edward Cullen hair Peter is sporting in this film. But I say that from all the pictures I have seen (yes, that includes the official image) the new costume sucks, I am accused of being unreasonable.

It just looks bad. The stripes on the arms, the stripes on the leg, the messy, thin red fabric along the stomach, the belt, the eyes...it just looks blah. All the blue reminds me of the halloween costumes that don't have spiders on the back (as does the appearance of him wearing semi-sneakers. But I assume that is just for a stunt).

I can still enjoy the movie, but compared to the simple and faithful costume of the other movies...it kind of sucks. But until they change it in a future movie some people will never accept that opinion.

[The Riddler]

why is it so hard for them to just make the costume follow traditional patterns?

why did they feel it necessary to add the red lining on the legs, to remove the belt pattern, and to add hideous looking red/blue patterns on the fingers of the costume.

i mean, the material looks fine to me, and i like they went for a sleeker look, but geezus. the coloring and stylings of the costume didn't need to be changed. it looks bad. just bad.

I fully agree.

I've been chastised for expressing my preference for the Raimi costume over the current one, which isn't bad but it falls into alternate reality costume territory. I'm actually really surprised that I've seen many people who don't even care if the traditional pattern is changed or not.

Thats fine and all for those non Earth-616 stories or when Peter makes a certain costume to fight a villain as he currently is in Big Time against the Hobgoblin with the neon light costume.

What Marvel does every time though is that they revert back to the classical approach because its not only iconic but an incredibly effective design at that.

I don't know why they didn't keep the original pattern/design and Webb could have still made a ton of differences without changing the core structure as have many artist after Ditko have done.

Just for comparison sake, three comic artist interpretation of Spidey:

The new shots of Spidey has rocked me a little (in a bad way) but I thought the OFFICIAL shot of Garfield in costume was freaking amazing. As long as the costume lighting, texture, webs and gritty feel matches that first official shot I'll be fine, but I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a little worried.

[Desk]

Just to chip in with my two cents...

I''m frankly pretty appalled by the new movie suit, and if the production team have taken such a ill-judged approach with this it doesn't bode well for the movie overall.

Along with the Richard Donner Superman costume and Jon Favreau Iron Man armour, Raimi's Spider-Man costume was one of the most faithful and effective translations of a comic book costume onto the big screen.

It speaks volumes that the team behind the new film are willing to discard what was so universally celebrated in favour of a needless new approach, somehow oblivious to the fact that they're angering and potentially alienating such a large percentage of what should be their core audience - the comic book fans.

Instead, I suspect this new design has been cynically calculated to support a new range of merchandise, and that the production team assume the average film-goer won't much care and, foolishly, that comic fans increasingly spoiled for choice in cinemas are on board no matter what.

The Ditko Spider-Man costume is a design classic, which has endured as a staple part of pop culture for almost 50 years. Mess with it at your peril.

[Violet Lantern]

Jesus ****ing Christ,it's not that big of a change!^

*eye roll*

Comic fans.

This reminds me of the "Clasps!" controversy with Batman in the Nolan films(the first one, Begins).

Worry about the quality of the story/acting more than this. They made relatively minor changes to the suit, this isn't Superman in black with no cape who can't fly fighting a giant mechanical spider.

^I don't think that's a bad thing, and I agree it DOES remind me of a more low budget type suit. Which I love! I'm a fan of a cheaper looking,less obviously studio made suit. Which is why I like how the suit looks in these new shots of it better than that 1st official one. Much less polished looking.

I personally never suggested that the comic book readers made up 'the large majority' of the cinema-going audience.

However, the comic book readers ARE, undoubtedly, the core audience, who have the potential to be either the film's loudest cheerleaders or its most vocal detractors.

Why risk making them the latter by needlessly screwing around with something which had proved popular and workable?

[captainrogers]

I love spidey. Something about this suit is not sitting well with me. I see they were trying to go for sleeker, but the design and placement of the stripes is just kinda off. Garfield looked ok in that official picture that was released, so I'll hold final judgement till I see a good shot of him in full gear.
I'm all for a bit of change as long as it makes sense and looks good. Is Parker a geek in this? Hope so. I heard there was no Jonah. THAT made me cringe. I was looking forward to that bit of casting.
If they wanted something different to throw up on screen suit-wise, they shoulda gone with those Alex Ross designs that were paraded about back before the release of the first Spiderman flick.
I guess it is kinda hard to see why they messed with spidey's look to this extent this go-around, especially cause it's worked so well on screen before. (I like the homemade appearance, but I think that might be just a stunt suit, cause the detailing on the official picture does NOT look homemade.)
Don't know enough about this film yet to praise it or predict doom just yet.

Funny thing is, neither suit looks like it could have been made by a teenager with limited funds and no tailoring skills.

But I must say that the suit is definitely a missed opportunity. This is the only suit from this 'generation' of superhero films that has failed in my opinion. Also, I don't think a studio released photo is going to make a huge difference in the design that we see in the cam photos. That is the suit that you all are stuck with, too bad.

[Whiskey Tango]

The movies are not Earth 616, not even the Marvel Cineverse ones (that's Earth-199999) and especially not the ones from Sony and FOX.

So it *is* an alternate universe costume. Think of the movies as live action What If...? stories, or retellings like the Ultimate universe.

And what changes would have been acceptable to craigdbfan and what makes him think those changes would be accepted by the majority of nerds? What would he have signed off on? Gold webbing this time? Black on the pants and shirt, replacing the more familiar blue like has sometimes been colored in the comics? Yet another iteration of the spider logo? And what is going to happen to craig when fandom get wind of his dream suit and tears it to shreds?

At what point exactly are you left with something that is altered so much that it is not the original look? How the hell does "keep the original pattern/design yet still make a ton of differences" even work? It seems very contradictory to me.

I fully agree.

I've been chastised for expressing my preference for the Raimi costume over the current one, which isn't bad but it falls into alternate reality costume territory. I'm actually really surprised that I've seen many people who don't even care if the traditional pattern is changed or not.

Thats fine and all for those non Earth-616 stories or when Peter makes a certain costume to fight a villain as he currently is in Big Time against the Hobgoblin with the neon light costume.

What Marvel does every time though is that they revert back to the classical approach because its not only iconic but an incredibly effective design at that.

I don't know why they didn't keep the original pattern/design and Webb could have still made a ton of differences without changing the core structure as have many artist after Ditko have done.

Just for comparison sake, three comic artist interpretation of Spidey:

[The Slang]

If not for the red stripes on the legs and the lack of the belt, I could easily say I prefer this costume over the raimi one. The raised silver webs were the biggest flaw IMO. So I'm happy not to see them. Also, the raimi costumes material and padding just made him look so soft and clean, like a stuffed toy or something. I prefer the new suit in this aspect, it looks more durable.
I like the gloves. Happy to see that there's an opening built into them for the webshooters. I mentioned on here a while back that I'd like to see those along with an external belt for cartridges. I'm really hoping he's going to put a belt on.

So I think this suit has certain things about it that are better than the previous, it's just messing with the colour ratio that I find unnecessary. But that'll be easy to overlook if they deliver a sleek tactical spidey with webshooters. I'm stoked about the webshooters.

[Mercurius]

It doesn't look even remotely amateur, it's clearly professional stuff.

But ugly, unnecessary and a tad frankly ridiculous in some parts.

[eledoremassis02]

i know there are opinions and different perceptions...but anyone who still claims there's no back spider after seeing this image either needs corrective lenses or are just trolling. it's right there, plain as day.

If there is one than why can't you see it in this closer image away from any red light? (The truck has a red light and the suit is reflective.) If it is there and as big as it looks in the image that people say they see a spider than I would think it would show up here.

Spider-Man is just one of those things regarding the costume where you have to suspend disbelief. Other Marvel costumes are plausible because they actually had people in their teams who actually could afford to make decent costumes or were adults who had more knowledge. Peter Parker is a kid, albeit a very intelligent one, so I can assume that he has some....sewing knowledge.

[eledoremassis02]

No, no, no. How can you tell we're on a fan site? Because there is a large contingency of people who love anything that is absolutely new about any film of their chosen obsession and will defend it to the bitter end (or until a sequel/remake/reboot comes along, at least) and then take it as a personal attack that someone has a different opinion.

That as well as an equally large group that hate anything is what makes it a fansite. I still am open minded about the movie and like Garfield for the part a lot. I am not complaining about JJJ being gone or the Jim Gordon-ized Capt. Stacy or even the Edward Cullen hair Peter is sporting in this film. But I say that from all the pictures I have seen (yes, that includes the official image) the new costume sucks, I am accused of being unreasonable.

It just looks bad. The stripes on the arms, the stripes on the leg, the messy, thin red fabric along the stomach, the belt, the eyes...it just looks blah. All the blue reminds me of the halloween costumes that don't have spiders on the back (as does the appearance of him wearing semi-sneakers. But I assume that is just for a stunt).

I can still enjoy the movie, but compared to the simple and faithful costume of the other movies...it kind of sucks. But until they change it in a future movie some people will never accept that opinion.

I pretty much said this about another superhero film and got totally flamed lol

[Immortalfire]

[Spider-ManHero12]

You mean it can be surpassed? I agree. Since the suit was so close to the comics design, most of the gripes you probably have are nitpicks. That's YOUR opinion, not fact.

[wobbly]

Raimi's suit can be surpassed. It's a little obstinate to think that it can't.

This suit however does not surpass nor even equal it, either in being faithful to the design of the books, or in how good it looks (the latter is subjective of course, but the former is not).

agreed...had they taken the design of the raimi suit, changed the webbing and eyes they would have had a suit that equals to or surpasses it.

[zhonghua]

Someone posted this link in the main screen comments, and while I apologize for the Perez Hilton writing on it, it gives a much better look at some of the details of the suit than the stunt suit does.

i think it's theres. honestly, if we're taking these pics at face value, we might as well start panicking because spidey also has no web pattern, front spider, or eyes.

[captainrogers]

Probably the stunt double.. :) An actual actor won't do any stunt right? :D Wise!

Yeah. See, from those pics, I love the way the suit looks. It's the design of parts that are covered that get to me. Maybe if this gets a sequel, we get something closer to the original design.

[cryptic name]

I must be the only person who thinks the costume looks fine in the new pictures.

nah, I'm right there with ya. alot of us like the suit, negatives are always more vocal.

[Hotwire]

I must be the only person who thinks the costume looks fine in the new pictures.
I like it. I think the fanboy stance of, "How dare they make any stylistic changes to my beloved Spider-Man," is a bit ridiculous.



As I said in the Transformers forum...
I actually can't stand Beast Wars, and for many of the same reasons Decoy hates the Bay films. But I don't go on internet tirades about how the creators of that show killed Transformers for me. I'm fine with artists doing their own interpretations of an intellectual property. If they do something I don't like, I don't watch it.

[Nathan]

I'm crossing my fingers that this suit is a prototype and will evolve. I like the material and textures, but the design just looks, well, messy. A red line here, a blue line there, kind of a half belt, it just looks weird.

[conan69]

Funny thing is, neither suit looks like it could have been made by a teenager with limited funds and no tailoring skills.


I agree. For a teenager with not alot of money - the solution would really be simple - a surfer bodysuit or the like and customize it.

I liked the Raimi suit, but never really liked the eyes.
1.Again they go with red and blue, instead of red and black/charcoal.
2.Whats with the stripe going down the legs - it doesnt really make much sense. The suit is so tight, that the line twists in wierd ways as it goes down his leg. Its distracting and unneccesary.
http://img843.imageshack.us/img843/5154/clipboard01qe.jpg (http://img843.imageshack.us/i/clipboard01qe.jpg/)


Im guessing a belt is missing from the newer pics as well? The red stripe around the back, but not meeting in the front of the suit looks SO odd.

BTW, looking at a larger version of those pics,I think the silver people are seeing and not liking on the feet are a slipper for the stunt double.

[bobguy64]

To everyone who's complaining, "Why would they change a beloved classic like Spider-Man's costume?" the is a simple answer: They were told to.

The reason is licensing. Having the movie costume different from the comics suit gives them TWO Spider-Men to sell the rights to. Twice the Spideys means twice the money.

Same with villains. It's that simple: $$$$$.

[Mercurius]

Peter Parker is a kid, albeit a very intelligent one, so I can assume that he has some....sewing knowledge.

I read Spider-Man since I was five, and never had a problem explaining his costume: it was Spidey's costume and that's all about it.

Yep, the suspension of disbelief works that way.

Now, older, there's no supension of disbelief that can make me appreciate this fugly design, especially when the comparison to the Raimi one just knocks it down.

[JAK®]

Spider-Man wears a costume because he's a superhero.

Thats one of the things that wowed me when I first saw Alex Ross Spiderman in Marvels all those years ago.

It looked like real person in a cloth suit.

[Doctor Jones]

Cloth doesn't work on film. It just looks like a Halloween costume. I want it to look cool. That's it. Alex Ross's drawings in real life (as much as I like them) would look silly.

[conan69]

Doc
I really mean a person "in real clothing", not exactly "cloth". Bad choice of words.

[Whiskey Tango]

Now, older, there's no supension of disbelief that can make me appreciate this fugly design, especially when the comparison to the Raimi one just knocks it down.

Sounds like a lack of imagination on your part.

[Doctor Jones]

Elaborate on "real clothing" please. Do you mean that someone could actually make it and it looks like it's made on a budget? Because that idea is terrible.

In general, I don't get why people would want this. Not aimed at you, I just find it ironic that this never happened in the comics when people fume over innacuracy or want accuracy to the costume. Having a home made look was not in he comics the last time I checked. It was always presented as a simple image. A cool one where we don't care how it was made. It's just there. That's all that matters. It's quite magical.

[JAK®]

'Cloth' is such a general term that you can't say that it doesn't work on film.

As far as I'm concerned the materials they use for the movies is spot on so I'm not arguing with anyone, just disagreeing with that particular sentence.

[webhead731]

Heh, yes. It totally looks like Spiderman... the toy from a 99 cents store. You know, that kind of fake toys where they have to change the design for copyrights and stuff... :csad:

Its just that up that point comic book characters usually looked like this....

Mostly, comic book characters costumes were drawn like they were naked with a design painted on them (if that makes any sense)





And Ross gave us this.... (bad example but best quick one I could find)
http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/2470/marvelstradecover.jpg (http://img38.imageshack.us/i/marvelstradecover.jpg/)


And it wow'ed me. I thought it looks like that could be a actual person. Remember this was the early 90s.

While I dont read comics anymore, I have seen some recent artwork and noticed that alot of artist nowadays do draw superhero as if theyre wearing "real clothing", but Ross is the first example I can think of doing this.
http://img3.imageshack.us/img3/1909/ultimatecaptainamerica.jpg (http://img3.imageshack.us/i/ultimatecaptainamerica.jpg/)



I used to experiment with this myself in the late 80s and when attending Kuberts School in 89 and remember having alot of discussions about it with classmates. I had discovered Otomos Akira and it made a big impression on me. I started trying to draw a bit more "real world". I was nicknamed "George Perez" by classmates because of the amount of time I spent drawing backgrounds. I also started drawing less physically powerful characters with a bit less muscle. Cyclops shouldnt look like Superman. All women shouldnt have the same body with different heads pasted on,and friends commented I drew womens boobs to small, but people come in all sorts of different shapes and sizes. But I wanted my drawing to look like people were wearing clothes and not like their costumes wee painted on their body.

But most responses I got were "But its a comic book" :)

[ALP]

why is it so hard for them to just make the costume follow traditional patterns?

why did they feel it necessary to add the red lining on the legs, to remove the belt pattern, and to add hideous looking red/blue patterns on the fingers of the costume.

i mean, the material looks fine to me, and i like they went for a sleeker look, but geezus. the coloring and stylings of the costume didn't need to be changed. it looks bad. just bad.

100% agreed.

I don't like the new designs and patterns at all.

Like the Raimi suit but with black webbing and and larger black around the lenses would have been perfect imo. This design just looks bad. It's like they're trying to go as far away from Raimi as possible(in a bad way)

[Violet Lantern]

People clamor for a more home made look until they actually get it. LOL

[craigdbfan]

Just to chip in with my two cents...

I''m frankly pretty appalled by the new movie suit, and if the production team have taken such a ill-judged approach with this it doesn't bode well for the movie overall.

Along with the Richard Donner Superman costume and Jon Favreau Iron Man armour, Raimi's Spider-Man costume was one of the most faithful and effective translations of a comic book costume onto the big screen.

It speaks volumes that the team behind the new film are willing to discard what was so universally celebrated in favour of a needless new approach, somehow oblivious to the fact that they're angering and potentially alienating such a large percentage of what should be their core audience - the comic book fans.

Instead, I suspect this new design has been cynically calculated to support a new range of merchandise, and that the production team assume the average film-goer won't much care and, foolishly, that comic fans increasingly spoiled for choice in cinemas are on board no matter what.

The Ditko Spider-Man costume is a design classic, which has endured as a staple part of pop culture for almost 50 years. Mess with it at your peril.

Brilliantly said. Bravo.

new costume reminds me from this
http://www.internationalhero.co.uk/j/japanspiderman.jpg

Design pattern wise its more akin to Raimi's still thanks to it following the Ditko design. Even when following those guidelines Japanese Spider-Man's costume is still awesome partly due to that core design scheme yet they still played around with it to make it uniquely theirs.

I personally never suggested that the comic book readers made up 'the large majority' of the cinema-going audience.

However, the comic book readers ARE, undoubtedly, the core audience, who have the potential to be either the film's loudest cheerleaders or its most vocal detractors.

Why risk making them the latter by needlessly screwing around with something which had proved popular and workable?

Exactly.

Often times for these movies with an existing fanbase it can defintely sway public opinion on the movie.

Its utter bullcrap in my opinion that they couldn't be different and just follow the basic costume outline. Every artist after Ditko has been able to do this relatively effectively, some more than others and still able to put a unique stamp on the character.

[ScarletSpider8i]

I can't stand this costume. It's like house of M style spidey had a kid with some stupid japan kids tv show character. I don't care about making the the suit your own as long as it's "The Suit". You wouldn't do that to the amercian flag. Why? It's a symbol, and So is spider-man. You Don't @#&# with stuff like that and expect people to just all be ok with it. To those who like it I'm happy for you. To me this is just "One more day." Another slap in the face of 25 year-long fan.

[Whiskey Tango]

[ironwez20]

He I got an idea, maybe we can wait for the triler to see the suit in some real websliging action then we can judge. I mean it could be like a first version of the suit. Kinda like iron man 1.

[storyteller]

I honestly have never wondered how Spiderman makes his suit in the movies. The material isn't armor, it can be ripped easily, it gets dirty, it needs to be washed. Yeah in reality these suits cost thousands of dollars to make but I seem cosplayers make some pretty damn cool suits on less then 1000. I honestly don't care how he made his suit. They will never ever make it look more "budget friendly" for a movie that costs hundreds of millions to make.


Now that I have had time to take in this suit. I prefer the new gloves to the classic design. Gives that Ben Reilly feel. Not digging the red lines down the legs. Its really weird. Yeah he needs his belt back. I really don't understand some reactions. Some people feel like the new suit is just so terrible that its 100% unfaithful to the classic design, that it looks nothing like Spiderman. Yeah I get that you can like Raimi better but geeze......

[Mercurius]

Sounds like a lack of imagination on your part.

Or, perhaps (and more plausible), excessive gullibility on yours. :oldrazz:

[ScarletSpider8i]

I don't care about raimi or webb. I care about the actual Spider-Man suit looking like Spider-Man. I don't care for 3d webbing or honey comb designs, or adidas looking legs, or none of that. In the comics its stated that his suit is lycra,web pattern printed. I will find the issue that states all of this. Never was it metal 3d webs, honey comb, basketball rubber, etc. How many times have we seen the webshooters in comics? Most of the time they look about the same. Those 3 inch holes look stupid, not to mention that it is not possible to shoot horizontal while the holes are vertical. Just stupid.

[Troy_Parker]

Yeah, but really the comics costume was made of paper, inks and artist's hands, not lycra and web prints, they have to make the costume a bit more interesting looking onscreen than lycra and black prints.
That's actually quite a funny thought, if you were to be transported over to the real Marvel universe, and the real spider-man swung up to you, and his costume looked worse than some guy at a conventions.
'Hi, I'm your friendly neighbourhood Spider-man.'
'Dude..what is the deal with all the rips on your costume, and holy moses, your feet smell, you need to wear some proper shoes...'
'Yeah, but I have to adhere to the walls and ceilings, if I wore real shoes, i wouldn't be able to do that...'
'..I don't care dude, your feet smell, how many puddles have you leapt through today? and no offence, but you generally stink of BO all over...'

How many times have we seen the webshooters in comics? Most of the time they look about the same. Those 3 inch holes look stupid, not to mention that it is not possible to shoot horizontal while the holes are vertical. Just stupid.

This info is not just for you, it's for everyone: those are NOT webshooters!!! They are magnets for the stunt (jumping to a moving car). In the stunt he gets a grip on the car and flips on to it. The magnets help to keep his grip.

This is why you never should judge spy cam pics or any pics that are not official: you can never now for sure what all the stuff is for!

When they're going to release some official behind the scenes pics get released you Mark Webb suit haters are gonna take back every negative thing you ever said about the suit. I bet that this scene won't even be featured in the official pics because they wouldn't show anything that sucks

That's why I have fate on the suit. The way you talk about it it's almost like you want the suit to fail

[eledoremassis02]

Anyways, to everyone that claims that this suit doesn't have a logo on the back.

It does.

Here, I've darkened the image to make the logo more visible.

The reason why I am not entirely convinced is because if that is the spider then the front legs either blend with the red shoulder portion or is very close to doing so..but in other photos (where there is no red light behind him) you don't see any red (that could be a spider) connected or near the red shoulder portion.

I hope it has a back spider but if it does then why are there two suits (one with and without) a back spider for the same stunt?

(to Jon90) Huh? They are web-shooters. They are not only in the official picture, but Emma Stone confirmed it.

But that doesn't mean that they're one and the same thing in that scene, just because they are located on the wrists.

I don't see it...

[Majik1387]

If there is one than why can't you see it in this closer image away from any red light? (The truck has a red light and the suit is reflective.) If it is there and as big as it looks in the image that people say they see a spider than I would think it would show up here.

i think it's theres. honestly, if we're taking these pics at face value, we might as well start panicking because spidey also has no web pattern, front spider, or eyes.
Thank you.

Are there any existing fan made on set pictures of the filming of one of the Raimi films?
Just curious...

Well I like the new suit. You can recognize Spidey. So what?
Aww... red stripes on the legs
Aww... no belt (yet)

Some Fanboys are whiny *****es...

I just don't get how one can say the movie will fail because of some poor quality fan photos of the new suit.
That's just ridiculous.


(No offense to the reasonable people btw.)

I'm going to put a red circles on the visible spots of the back spider for you, since you clearly can't see what's in front of you. You're choosing to ignore the better quality screencap to instead believe the really poor low quality pics; that's just weird.
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v338/Majik1387/backspider.jpg
Now look at the images again without the circles before seriously suggesting again that there is no back spider.
That goes for all the non-seers.


And to Jon90, those are not magnets, they are web-shooters. They are on the Andrew Garfield pic as well.

Ok, then the spider is really small with no legs in on the picture in the top right and off centered with no legs on the bottom left.

All I'm saying is that if it's there and as big as it is in the top left photo then why doesnt it appear in the top left photo? One would think a spider that size you would see something like this:

true, they are poor quality but if the spider can't be seen on the bottom left photo and it's clearer, yea there is a red smuge near the outline of his back but the placement is nothing like photo where everyone says the spider is there. Like I said I hope there is one but I am not convinced at this point.

In the official pic he has GOLDEN web shooters. These are plain grey. That you cannot deny

To eldoremassis, again, I can't make you see what's clearly there if you don't really look. This is not some over-positive fanboy wishful thinking/stretch, some posters, like you, just refuse to acknowledge it for some reason.

Yea...I honestly don't like the suit but I don't care that is not "comic accurate". I'm sorry I don't see a spider in those pictures. Yea I blew up photos..to try to show you what I saw..as you did with trying to point out yours. But I'm not going to call anyone a fanboy because I don't see it..now however, we just got new photos and I do see that there is somthing there and could explain the red dod you showed me on the top right photo...however it does not look like the spider people see in the top left.

Here's the funny thing about stunt costumes and star costumes. The star costumes get more detail over the stunt costumes because they're going to be filmed more intricately, so they'd have better quality materials.
His web shooters look more gold because they have been lighted, touched up, etc. You can see a golden gleam on the stunt web shooters in this picture as well.

I'm not saying they are, and I'm not saying they're not.

But there's a picture, where there's a close up of the hands/wrists and the so called webshooter part, seems to have a nozzle...

I'll try and find the picture.

Yes, and I have admitted that it is there. It's still not "smack in your face" but the photo quality is better and there is no red lights near him. Therefore I was able to rule out my reasoning for there not being one. End of that.

While it is not an end all be all in terms of choices of other production departments it is a nice indicator of faithfullness from the director.
If the other departments are as faithful to the comics as Webb's costume department is, it's a good idea to approach the whole production with low expectations.

As for the new pic... Jesus, that suit looks worse and worse with every new pic appearing! They really ruined the basic design.

And regarding the silver in the shoes...it may be for the stunt suit. It probably IS for the stunt suit. But why wouldn't they try to hide the silver better? Stunt suits usually use practical materials and mask them, so if there was no intention of their being silver on Spidey's feet why wouldn't they just paint those areas red? At least make some effort to cover it up.

Isn't the Joker's more faithful than Batman's? I mean, purple pants and coat. Everyone always brings up Batman when talking about faithful costumes, understandably, and while I like it I'd have no problem with a suit much closer to the costumes. For the next franchise I'd love something like Batman's suit in Arkham Asylum brought to life.

Probably because it is part of the design. Just like the lack of a belt.

Eh. Like most things, it's splitting hairs. Yes, the Joker was wearing a purple coat, but it was really more of a purple overcoat instead of a suit. I was referring more to his makeup instead of permawhite. My point ultimately being that the "faithfulness" of a suit does not a movie make.

is there a slight transparency to the lenses in some of these pics? i wonder if that will appear in the flick at all, or they will only be lit to be reflective.

good lord, i have lost all faith in the captain america movie...t3h puffy...my feet look more realistic than that!!
I hope you're being sarcastic, it's hard to tell lately.:csad:

Find me one - one - person who believes The Dark Knight's costume is faithful. Or the Joker, for that matter. Fanboys get so hung up on appearances, it's sickening.
Oh excuse the fans for actually wanting... you know a movie about the comic book they fell in love with.

As for TDK yeah, the only exception to the rule is a surefire idicator. I dunno how many comic book movies you have seen but most that have derivated too much from the source material have turned out to be... you know, crap. There have actually been only two moves where a drastic change to a classic costume design hasn't hindered the rest... TDK and X-Men and the later still splits the fanbase. So, there is one instance where it worked, stacked against countless versions where it didn't. I'd say by that track record, TDK is the exception to the rule.

I take it back, this is the dumbest thing I have ever seen. WTF with the eyes:dry:

Jesus dude. It was supposed to look different just to look different. It wasnt made to look cool.

[chaseter]

Mission accomplished.

So the design of the costume is sole proof that they're deviating too much? Forget that they're starting with Gwen instead of MJ. Forget that Captain Stacy is going to Spider-Man's ally. Forget that he's going to spend most (if not all) of the first movie in high school. Forget that they're going to introduce his parents. Those are just story details. Nope. It's the costume that proves they're not taking the source material seriously.

I don't mean to sound like I'm attacking you - I'm really not - I just find absolutely no merit in condemning a movie without having seen a single reel of film. I'm not saying you have to like the movie before you see it. I'm just saying that it's ridiculous to completely write it off before you see it.

Mission accomplished.

You are one of the most cynical people I have EVER met. Seriously, you are against everything aside from the Raimi suit. Granted, it was a nice suit. Doesn't mean every other thing sucks.
