[Perri]

Is it just me or does he have a mouth piece? There seems to be two sections over his nose and mouth that stick out [aren't shaded] and are lacking horizontal webbing... Am I crazy?

Probably just the lighting

[DorkyFresh]

But once again, if this suit was Raimi's suit back in 2001, you all would be having a heart attack right now.
honestly...people have heart attacks over EVERY time a suit is revealed for the first time, regardless of which movie it is...even if it's a sequel. hell, it's not even confined to suit pictures...just look at the first time the Hulk was revealed...

The thing back then that people were angry about was raised silver webbing...that was a walk in the park.

[DIRECTOR]

i bet you this isn't andrew garfield in the suit, look at the muscles lol

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/spidermanfirstnewlooksmall.jpg

[Darkness Falls]

i don't have a problem with the rest of the suit, its just the gloves, they look like they couldn't be bothered finishing the red

[steintym]

I still can't decide about that costume. Sometimes I look at it and think it's pretty cool. Other times, it just doesn't look right to me. Those gloves just keep bothering me.

[Paroxysm]

I think the suit looks great, nice mask, like the change back to web shooters. I can't wait. Also my friend studied fashion in college and she said that no regular high school kid would be able to make Spiderman's costume as it is in the comic. Knit fabrics are difficult to sew even for people with sewing experience. Peter's wrestling costume from the first movie is the most realistic depiction of what a high schooler would be superheroing, and do you really want to see Spiderman in that for a good two hours? :woot:

[bunk]

At least they have the poses down. Still not sure about the red texture.

[SuperZer0]

Is it me or do I see the Lizard reflected in Spidey's lenses?

Oh by the way, Raimi's Spider-Man posters also showed spidey with yellow/golden reflective lenses (look image below):

http://i.min.us/ijfteA.png

[craigdbfan]

Yeah because there's a big shining bright yellow dwarf behind him.

Whereas the new promo pic is in isolated darkness with no source of light and the set pics we have gotten the lenses have a cold tint to them.

So I think its safe to say just like the nike silver shoes, and there being no belt that there is yellow lenses now.

Although I actually like that though.

[LegendaryCaleb]

yeah im diggin the gold eyes if they stick with it
(always liked the raimi eyes with the gold tint...used to always manip them with gold reflection lol)

[NinjaCarm]

If there is one thing I would change about the new costume is the gloves. Looking at the new picture, the blue fingers is a distraction. Having them all red with the black webbing I believe would have looked better.

Overall, people who complain about the whole costume, well...:whatever:

Seriously

[rowleyslims]

Reply to lalalala man from previous thread:

Reading your reply I think we're actually coming from the same thought process in a lot of areas.
Okay, the scarlet spider example was poorly executed, yes, but the point I was trying to get across still applies. Spiderman’s suit has changed over the years and will continue to get new random costumes as long as there is a fan base. Although the original will always still be the original. My point was that this suit looks like a Spiderman suit, and it’s obviously not a cheap dud like Tobey’s wrestling suit so it will def be throughout the movie. But to me this still doesn’t mean its his official suit that he wears throughout this trilogy. And I say trilogy because all speculation aside Andrew is a great actor and his charm (not to mention childhood obsession for the character) will transition well into peter parker. I think were in for something special with this movie/trilogy. and if I’m wrong ill eat my words and admit my stupidity for trusting Hollywood but for now Spiderman is my favorite hero and they got (imo) the “perfect” actor to play peter parker. So I’m going to be optimistic about this movie. Hopefully I’m correct in this.

The villains... I don’t understand your point. My point was that the villains in hero movies vary so your reply to that comment was misplace and you proved nothing with your point. Sure they reuse villains in different franchises of the same heroes, (with all due respect) DOooIII!!!! haha

And finally the movies that I named... I’m not a big batman fan. It was prolly wrong for me to use those to back up my point but if you read the comment following mine we address I was wrong with this fact. I looked at the movie titles along with their director and the fact batman was a different actor, so I figured different franchise. I’ve prolly seen the movies what once maybe twice.
To end… A reboot was necessary. And personally who cares what’s going on in people’s heads. Would you rather they not make a new Spiderman movie for 10 years just because they waited a certain amount of time to reboot batman. The difference between now and back in the late 1980's to early/mid 1990's the demand for superhero movies wasn’t near as high as it is today. People want a Spiderman movie and Raimi played out his trilogy. Things could be much worse.
Let go what you can’t control. Just sayin…….
And feel free gimme your opinion or to correct me on incorrect information I supplied. Unlike most I like being corrected. That way next time it comes up I’m that much more informed on the topic haha cheers mates.

[conan69]

I gotta say, that image above is pretty cool.

Its too bad the costume has looked like crap in every other image Ive seen of it.

I do like the pic above though.

[KRIM]

yeah im diggin the gold eyes if they stick with it
(always liked the raimi eyes with the gold tint...used to always manip them with gold reflection lol)
Very surprised there hasn't been more ruckus about they colored lenses. Thankfully gold goes really well with red, so in that regard it's pleasing to the eye. However I do wonder what provoked them to go in this particular direction.

Design alterations I can see. This has me scratching my head.

[rowleyslims]

only explination i can think of is that its Hollywood. sometimes there just "isnt" an explaination to things they do. :doh:
but in this case it works (imo). though i do prefer big white eyes, more of a spider feel to me.

[moviedoors]

I think this latest photo is flat out amazing. The pose is perfect, the swallowing blackness might as well be a big old splash of india ink. I love the suit in context. The gold segmented eyes, the way the blood-red upper body and shoulders seem to be enveloping the dark, scaled blue. I'm a big fan of the gloves too. Looking at the embiggened high-res, obviously the webshooters look great, but the tips of the fingers have these cool variations at the tips. I like that bit of detail. I really like the blue fingers too. I like the new contrast. I feel like this picture has really nailed Spiderman, yellow eyes, glossy sheen, and blue fingers be damned. It's altered, but absolutely true to the character regardless. Now just keep me this pleased and excited!

With the lack of web fluid cartridges i wonder if they really going the Organic/Mechanical Hyprid route.

[Super Kal]

okay, im not a die-hard spideyfan, nor do i read the comics... but i did go see raimi's movies, & i enjoyed them & the costume... so from my perspective, this is what I think of the new costume:

likes:
i like the web design. it needed to be black to stand out more (didnt mind the raised webbing, but didnt like it being silver)
i like the design of the webbing. i want to see it in action more, though
the textured design, I utterly adore...
I really like the mask design... it's because of the black webbing i like it so much
the color shades... i love that shade of blue, and the red is not so bright as raimi's suit was

"huh?":
the glove design throws me off.. sudden breaks in the blue and red... it just throws me off visually. doesn't flow to me.
the web shooters (I know they're supposed to be like that, & i applaud them for sticking to the comic book, however, i did like the organics... and going from red to blue to suddenly gold throws me off visually a little bit... thats just me)
the black crotch piece... if someone wants to fill me in, please do... i am very, very confused about that.

dislikes:
i dont like how his front and back emblem stretch down... i personally want to see the symbol. have it stand out against the rest of the costume slightly.
the lack of some kind of belt. the lines going down the body give him the appearance of being more skinny than normal. to me, i think some kind of belt around the waist would help keep the costume grounded, so to speak, visually, & help the eye divide a distinguishable top and bottom for the suit.

overal, it's okay. the lack of a belt really messes it up for me visually, though.

again, these are just my own opinions from someone who only knows the very basics about Spiderman

[rowleyslims]

dont understand the emphisis on his junk.. its dark so it doesnt stick out in post production...
the main news around the suit before we saw it was that they were trying to find a way for andrews "buldge" to not stick out so much. then the spypics suit comes out with a black crotch and people wonder why?? use common sense... :woot:

the black crotch piece... if someone wants to fill me in, please do... i am very, very confused about that.

[spider-neil]

without starting the whole 'venom in his eyes' debate again, if you look closely at the reflection in spidey's eyes they don't relate to his arms or chest and dare I say look lightly like teeth.


maybe the reason they darkened down the rest of the image wasn't to hid the 'unpopular' sections of the suit but to hid the surrounds/location spidey is sat in.

[ben_reilly_s_s]

You can see though only barely, the silver boot/soles....
hahahahahahahahaha
Costume is worse and worse each and every picture

[Kurt Wagner]

With the lack of web fluid cartridges i wonder if they really going the Organic/Mechanical Hyprid route.

or maybe what you see includes the web shooter cartridges. Remember, a spider's silk is super strong, and it doesn't require much volume to fit in the shooters shown in the picture

[spida-man]

I gotta say, the suit looks waaaaaaaaaaaaay better int he new official pic than what we have seen set pics of. which means more than likely it'll look great in the trailer and in the actual film. but still despite how good it can/might look. i still don't think all the changes they made where necessary.

[Ajendo]

i bet you this isn't andrew garfield in the suit, look at the muscles lol

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/spidermanfirstnewlooksmall.jpg

Muscle suit, genius. Its Garfield.

[DCnightwing23]

It doesnt necessarily mean its a muscle suit, even if you look at the first official picture of garfield you can see some definition there. Take into account the material of the suit and it could just mean garfield was flexing, especially in that pose. Or its just the shadows and lighting that accentuates and adds definition to garfields frame. Lets not forget garfield did add muscle to his thin frame and judging from this picture im betting thats him in the newofficial picture

http://cinemacomrapadura.com.br/imagens/2011/01/andrew-garfield-muscles.jpg

I think the suit goes perfectly with garifelds frame, he does have muscle, and the materials used for the suit just seems to accentuate the muscle he gained, especially in that pose they used for the new official picture

[spider-neil]

Muscle suit, genius. Its Garfield.

don't think it's a muscle suit. if it is I've the best I've ever seen.

[Ajendo]

You mean to tell me that the muscle definition you can see on the costume is actually a direct result of the fabric being shaped by Garfield's physique? That's bs. Of course there's some sort of muscle suit/padding going on here. The costume is great but don't delude yourselves into thinking that it's Garfield's actual sculpted physique giving the costume that sculpted look.

[Kirmit]

I really like the new pic but maybe that's because it hides the things I dislike about the suit i.e the lack of belt, the silver boots and the stripe down the legs, I do however like the gloves.

[BatFan88]

The suit is cool.at last a really good picture from it.

[spida-man]

[Gianakin_]

:O that's not garfield!!!
that's SYLAR!!!!
:P

That's not Sylar. It's Hayden Christensen.

[Gianakin_]

I've decided I really like the overall design of the costume, except for the torso part which has no webbing (just some lines) and the boots which look crappy (partly for the same reason as the torso).

Having said that, I would've wanted a more faithful suit, or (more correctly) the classic suit. This is pretty faithful, albeit to a suit used in a mini-series. It's pretty obvious to me they could've easily done the classic one, but I'm assuming they're saving it for the sequel (which is more than fine with me). They probably want to differentiate themselves enough in ASM so that they can get back to the classics later.

[SatEL]

I kid.

[SatEL]

Dont know if your joking but that is Garfield.

[Gianakin_]

Dont know if your joking but that is Garfield.

I am joking. But he does remind me of Hayden.

[Majik1387]

Yes

[TheWallCrawler]

With the lack of web fluid cartridges i wonder if they really going the Organic/Mechanical Hyprid route.

I think they are going to be hybrid because that actually was their plan with the first Sam Raimis Spiderman before they chose to leave the web shooters out of the film

This is so badass

[CrazyForSwayze]

I don't mind the gold lenses but I do hope you can't actually see his eyes, which I think saw in some of the spy photos, but that's probably just because it's a stunt suit, I hope

[RustyCage]

He's been working out for this, you know.

Also:

http://cdn04.cdn.socialitelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/andrew-garfield-details-01112011-03.jpg

The end.

[Ajendo]

Of course he's been working out and I'll take sony's word that its him posing in the costume but the suit is aided with muscle definition padding also.

[chaseter]

I would also say that the new pic is helped out by some photoshop. All studios do that. I would even bet that is going to be on one of the official posters. It is a very well done image.

[wobbly]

http://comingsoon.net/nextraimages/spidermanfirstnewlooksmall.jpg

Suit Looks good here. Great pose as well :yay:.

That being said it looks like this was posed to hide a few of the things that have raised the biggest alarms: The sides of the belt (or lack of) and the leg strips are hidden, and the annoying silver booties are covered by photoshopped shadow (you can just make out the heel on the left foot in the hi-res version).

Also noticed a little pattern on the finger tips of the gloves where he would stick to walls etc (the dark mesh stops to form a circular pattern)

Still can't say I've warmed to the straight web pattern (prefer the traditional scalloped shaping myself...straight looks like how a lazy artist would draw it) but it's no a deal breaker to me. Those booties though...Ugh. Would have spoiled this shot somewhat had they not faded them out.

[KRIM]

Every studio pic is Photoshoped. It has to be. They'd be stupid not to touch it up in some form. If you're insinuating that it's not entirely representative of how it'll look in the film, that's a different matter.

[magz14]

The suit does look cool in the studio pics however I notice that they haven't shown the those awuful boots in full and why does he have yellow lenses??

[truth]

Show us his shoes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Spider-ManHero12]

He's been working out for this, you know.

Also:

http://cdn04.cdn.socialitelife.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/01/andrew-garfield-details-01112011-03.jpg

The end. True, but he is wearing a muscle suit, right?

[Lencho01]

What's the big deal about his shoes?

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ well, alot of people I think are curious to see the steel on the boots. I am as well.

[Ajendo]

The deal is, it looks like spidey stuck his webbed feet into Cinderella's glass slippers and doesn't look set to give them back.

[Lencho01]

But, what more needs to be seen?

[Whiskey Tango]

I'm pretty sure it's not steel or any other kind of metal, people. It's just the soles and some kind of covering over the toes and sides and back of the heels.

[nouan]

dont understand the emphisis on his junk.. its dark so it doesnt stick out in post production...
the main news around the suit before we saw it was that they were trying to find a way for andrews "buldge" to not stick out so much. then the spypics suit comes out with a black crotch and people wonder why?? use common sense... :woot:

Could you link me on that news about the "buldge", because it just sounds stupid that they would make the crotch black in order to hide something, since it only directs your eyes to it. And looking at the spypics, he doesn't have any more noticable or bigger bulge then in those Raimi movies. I really want an explanation to the black crotch. Call it nitpicking, but I just don't get why they made it black, since if it was same color as the rest of the suit, there would not be any problem. The only thing one could nitpick is all the other changes they made to the suit.

[Hurm...]

The suit is teh puffy

I think the suit is OK but you can see Sony deliberately hid the parts of the suit that would make people go WTF like the random strip down the leg, silver boot heels, and lack of belt.

[Lencho01]

I'm pretty sure it's not steel or any other kind of metal, people. It's just the soles and some kind of covering over the toes and sides and back of the heels.

They look similar to my old track shoes. Why would he wear something that could slow him down? And it's not like he'd need metal to give more impact when he kicks people. It's just a design change like the rest of the suit.

[Lando81]

What's the big deal with the belt, seeing as how he dosen't, ya know, USE IT?

[Gunga Diner]

I'm interested that the two biggest oppurtunities to differentiate the suit from the 02-07 design, the eyes and the front-spider, aren't all that different in the 2012 design. I wonder if that was intentional.

[Hurm...]

What's the big deal with the belt, seeing as how he dosen't, ya know, USE IT?When you start asking yourself questions like that, you might as well ask yourself, "Why the webs on the costumes?" With Spider-Man, it's the design that matters the most to me, not so much the logic behind it.

"Why webs, sir?"
"They get in my face and stuff. It's time my enemies feel my dread."

Well, I guess that since the things we see in that pic look way better than what they looked like in the set photos, people are wondering that how will the silver shoes look like in the official look

[Troy_Parker]

Wow, this suit is epic bad. Do we have enough seams here?

I hope you're joking.

Those are wrinkles...because the suit is made out of, y'know... fabric. I don't even know what picture you're looking at, the new picture shows no looseness anywhere.

[Troy_Parker]

Well, I guess that since the things we see in that pic look way better than what they looked like in the set photos, people are wondering that how will the silver shoes look like in the official look

Pretty much the same I'm guessing, maybe more metallic looking, to match the webshooters...?

every movie is photoshopped!! or after effected...or nuked...or quaked...or fusioned...or maya-ed....:doh::doh::doh::doh:

I wont lie, I'm 'nervous' that a suit is so dependent on lighting. I look at the set photos and think 'UGH' the colours are off, just no, and then I look at the official pictures and they are just amazing, pure sex, brilliant.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I'm interested that the two biggest oppurtunities to differentiate the suit from the 02-07 design, the eyes and the front-spider, aren't all that different in the 2012 design. I wonder if that was intentional. I think it's a mixture of intentional/only so many ways you can do it.

I think it's already been discussed that the suit needs to be lighter to accommodate the 3-D cameras they're using. I'd post a link if I could remember who said it and where.

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.

[Conebone69]

I cant tell how his eyes are going to look. Are they orange or something? The eyes are the only thing im skeptical about.

But everything else is sick! :up: Cant wait for this

[Spider-Who?]

i actually, i kinda dig the eyes. The color is close to the eyes from the Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon, and I kinda like the vented look of the lenses.

[steintym]

The overall look of the suit is growing on me. Those dumb glooves and boots are still distracting at this point, though.

[Spidey321]

Is it just me or does he have a mouth piece? There seems to be two sections over his nose and mouth that stick out [aren't shaded] and are lacking horizontal webbing... Am I crazy?
I see that also, Its like its a thinner piece on his mouth and nose so the audience can see peters mouth moving even when he has his mask on. If you can zoom in on his mouth in this photo you can see what i'm talking about

Kind of wish they had used the web pattern on the suit rather than squares. That said it does look pretty cool. At least in this press release still. I am curious to see how it will look in action, and the direction the cinematography will take. Lighting, editing, CG, POV, pacing, transitions. Not to mention the absolute most important aspects of story and acting.

I am really hoping this is a great film. If it is not, who knows when Spidey will be back on the big screen again? Could be a loooong time.

[craigaat]

Am I the only guy that prefers the new webbing? I thought the original looked a bit too chunky.

[spider-neil]

Am I the only guy that prefers the new webbing? I thought the original looked a bit too chunky.

I think the black webbing, rich colours and texture of the material is better than raimi's suit. imagine if they took the best elements of the new costume and mixed it with the classic design of raimi's suit, you would have perfection.

That is what I wanted:csad: Black webbing, the new blue material, and different looking eyes would have made a fantastic suit. I think I may do that manip tonight.

[Denny67]

I LOVE the black grooved look. It looks much better than the silvery raised webbing in the previous movies. IMO it could have looked even better using the classic web pattern.

Not a huge deal and certainly nothing to get worked up about for sure. Just a casual observation.

[socool]

That is what I wanted:csad: Black webbing, the new blue material, and different looking eyes would have made a fantastic suit. I think I may do that manip tonight.

The problem is, we all wanted this, but mostly because WE KNOW this is a reboot. Sony/the development team want to try and please the fans AND help the general audience realize this is not the Spider-Man know.

Definitely different suits. That's what Webb & Co. were aiming for. IS it Spider-Man? Hell yes. Does it look like the Raimi suit? A little. So technically, Sony succeeded. The majority of the fans are pleased and many of the casual movie viewers are starting to see that this movie is going a new direction.

I'm not arguing with you that that suit would be perfect. I love this suit, sans the silver soles, and I love the Raimi suit, too.

I guess it's easier for me to open my mind to different perspectives. I dunno, I guess the change to the suit don't really hurt the suit in my eyes, just makes it noticeably different.

[theShape]

I love the way the suit creases when he assumes different positions, much like the material that is always presented in the comics. IMO, people that are *****ing about the new suit are a little delusional. This is still Spider-man and what's looking to be an awesome (and fresh) interpretation of the character. Both this suit and the Raimi suit have the pros and cons, and I'm sure that both work equally well within the context of their separate film universes.

[LegendaryCaleb]

yeah man a mixture of the classic look that raimi had with the thin black webs...sinister esque eyes(i guess thats what were callin um now heh)
and thinner look would have been absolutely perfect for me

but i admit personally i like this look better than raimis...:o

[cryptic name]

Am I the only guy that prefers the new webbing? I thought the original looked a bit too chunky.

i'm right there with you. the webbing, the texture, the eyes, and the colors are all way better in my eyes.

[Spectacular23]

I really like the new suit and how it's looking thus far. But i've always loved it. The suit is awesome and amazing. Though when it come to the web shooters it look sooooo much better than what we was seeing in the spy photos. I really, really hope that it's not a hybrid of organic mechanical i just want mechanical all the way. Besides even though the nozzle are out there.. They are really really awesome.

Well, overall, Raimi's suit is still the best costume, IMO, because it's the most faithful. I really like the reboot suit in terms of it being different. They were aiming for different, this is different, so this defenitely works in that sense and I'm pleased. I can't stress that enough.:up:

I like Raimi's suit, but I like even more Webb's suit! :) New and Unique, Somewhat comic related but not totally.. I hope it will have a good storyline and wacky Spider-man..

[StylishHokie21]

I agree. I still prefer the Raimi suit, but this one isn't bad. At least he looks like Spider-Man. :cap: :o

[steintym]

I still think the Raimi suit is better, but this one is pretty cool. The only thing I really care about is ... Does it look like Spider-Man? In this case, it obviously Spider-Man. They've tried a couple of new things, but the overall look doesn't stray too far from the classic look.

[The Infernal]

The new promo pic does make it look a lot better, but I sill can't bring myself to fully like it. My problem is that it won't look like that in the film. After seeing all the spy pics and the first promo pic I can't help but feel that this latest pic was designed to hide most of the changes that a lot of the fans have a problem with.

It's not going to stop me from seeing the film though. The quality of the film overall will do that. It's hardly likely to match Raimi's film in terms of quality, but there's nothing I've heard so far that would make me rule it off as a potentially bad film. Though hopefully a trailer or two will put away any misgivings I might have about the suit.

[WarriorDreamer]

The Raimi eyes seem like they're almost like a white mirror or something. They could maybe have a silvery blue materiel for the eyes which is very different but still alot like the comics.

This red eye thing looks kinda weird.

[lalalala man]

Reply to lalalala man from previous thread:

Reading your reply I think we're actually coming from the same thought process in a lot of areas.
Okay, the scarlet spider example was poorly executed, yes, but the point I was trying to get across still applies. Spiderman’s suit has changed over the years and will continue to get new random costumes as long as there is a fan base. Although the original will always still be the original. My point was that this suit looks like a Spiderman suit, and it’s obviously not a cheap dud like Tobey’s wrestling suit so it will def be throughout the movie. But to me this still doesn’t mean its his official suit that he wears throughout this trilogy. And I say trilogy because all speculation aside Andrew is a great actor and his charm (not to mention childhood obsession for the character) will transition well into peter parker. I think were in for something special with this movie/trilogy. and if I’m wrong ill eat my words and admit my stupidity for trusting Hollywood but for now Spiderman is my favorite hero and they got (imo) the “perfect” actor to play peter parker. So I’m going to be optimistic about this movie. Hopefully I’m correct in this.

The villains... I don’t understand your point. My point was that the villains in hero movies vary so your reply to that comment was misplace and you proved nothing with your point. Sure they reuse villains in different franchises of the same heroes, (with all due respect) DOooIII!!!! haha

And finally the movies that I named... I’m not a big batman fan. It was prolly wrong for me to use those to back up my point but if you read the comment following mine we address I was wrong with this fact. I looked at the movie titles along with their director and the fact batman was a different actor, so I figured different franchise. I’ve prolly seen the movies what once maybe twice.
To end… A reboot was necessary. And personally who cares what’s going on in people’s heads. Would you rather they not make a new Spiderman movie for 10 years just because they waited a certain amount of time to reboot batman. The difference between now and back in the late 1980's to early/mid 1990's the demand for superhero movies wasn’t near as high as it is today. People want a Spiderman movie and Raimi played out his trilogy. Things could be much worse.
Let go what you can’t control. Just sayin…….
And feel free gimme your opinion or to correct me on incorrect information I supplied. Unlike most I like being corrected. That way next time it comes up I’m that much more informed on the topic haha cheers mates.


I am just saying is people should not complain about the suit because well it will not be THE suit of the series. yes it does look like a spider-man suit so the change will be easier and not that noticeable and you are right this trilogy will be great maybe dare i say better than Raimi's.....atleast story wise because well the vultress......really? I never put down this reboot, I am all for it and then some, I was just tired of people already putting down what they don't know.

[zanos]

Alot of ppl here seem to be accepting this change at face value; what I don't understand is why no one asking the question of why it was necessary to begin with? Is being "different" an acceptable explaination nowadays? This seems to be the principal reason why so many adaptations fail in the first place. I know some people will say it's just the constume, but anyone who feels that Spider-man's iconic costume is "no good" and needs to be altered probably wouldn't balk at making a great many more "changes" as well.

[echostation]

The Blue is too disturbing... is too miucho like Naavi Blue... nyaaaarriiii, Ilahi kashti rahi

liking this suit and liking the comic suit/raimi suit are not mutually exclusive. there are a few MINOR design differences. and that's all they are. you either like them or you don't. they're there because a designer and a filmmaker thought they looked good, that's it.

[craigdbfan]

I don't understand is why no one asking the question of why it was necessary to begin with? Is being "different" an acceptable explaination nowadays?

Check out any of my post or chaseter's or SpideyHero's we've all brought it up man.

We've just gotten tired of asking a question that really has only one or two simple answers. It wasn't necessary other than to increase toy sales and to separate itself not only from the Raimi design but from the Ditko one as well. Was this necessary especially when the design has proven itself to work on film? No, not at all.

I would have loved to have gotten this reboot costume just with proper webbing, instead of grid formations on the costume and the same Ditko design but with the new materials, colors and even the shape of the new lenses and golden tint, those are fine.

That would have been enough but they decided to add kibble here and there or cut away here and there.

At this point its pointless thinking about something that won't happen.

Thats why I don't like hearing that people who are just "ok" or dislike the costume are labeled as intolerant to changes or "delusional" as some have said. As the golden tint eyes, the materials, colors, and shape of the eyes are all great. Its just the fact that so much was omitted and twisted that some completely reject the costume.

Personally the new costume has grown on me and I hope some point down the line in this new trilogy that we get the classic Ditko design with the new materials and colors. Preferably for the second film.

[Mary Jane Watson]

^^well said

[BigThor]

True, you also have people like me who like Raimi's design as well as the new Spidey suit.

[Ajendo]

Agreed. Raimi's costume was perfect imo but this new costume looks great in it's own right. Sure, the majority of us would have preferred a costume with the classic design but the changes aren't abysmal to warrent it a failure. I think it looks fantastic and I dont understand why fanboys need to exercise stupidity by looking at the spy pics and saying the costume will spoil the movie when the official pics that they're drooling over conveys how the costume is supposed to and will look like on film.

[Bruce Malone]

This costume is the ultimate in the change for the sake of change category...but what else could they do i guess? they had to (drastically) distinguish their spider-man from the last some how.

[spider-neil]

if they had made the costume a 100% copy of spidey, kids would have looked at the toy and thought 'hey, I have that toy already'

[Spider-ManHero12]

personally I would have made a copy of the comic spidey

* big round spider on the back
* romita eyes
* ditko webs

but I can certainly see why the film makers would want to make such drastic changes. it leaves the general audience in no doubt this is a brand new spidey

[The Riddler]

my gripe with the costume is that it is ugly. plain and simple.

as much as i love a faithful adaption of the spidey costume, if changes are made, i expect them to be done tastefully. looking at the watchmen costumes for example, even nite-owl's new movie look was a nice updated spin of the original comic book look.

but this? this is hideous. there is absolutely no reason for the change, and to add insult, the changes are done with no taste or style. it's not like i'd boycott the film (i'm still going to see it), but i'm a very superficial guy. this will detract from my enjoyment of the film, guaranteed.

the gloves, the pants, the color patterning...dreadful.

I agree the set pictures are hideous but I adore the official pics. I hated the SR costume and at no time did I see a picture (official or otherwise) where I thought the costume looked good. SR was an absolute BOREFEST and that is the reason I hate that movie but the costume didn't help and I put it on the pile of reasons I thought SR sucked.

the set pictures are downright frightening. i was hoping official pictures would look better, and they do, but they still can't cover up design flaws. they may not be flaws to some, but they are flaws to me in that they are just totally unaesthetic.

that's the thing, they made design changes to the suit (SR) but I'm sure had the blue been a rich dark blue and the reds a vibrant red (pretty much like the reds and blues of spidey's outfit) I could have lived with the changes. I think the colours rather than the details are the most important aspect of a superhero costume. I think a massive reason why I like the reboot costume is because I like the colours, I think the colours are actually better than raimi's costume colours.

[Spider-ManHero12]

i would have went with big mcfarlane eyes, but i really don't mind the eyes, even on this otherwise dreadful movie costume. Quite frankly, I don't think big eyes would have worked. Sam and co. tried that with the first film, and they pretty much hated it.

[Ajendo]

Wow tbh I didn't have a problem with supes' costume in returns. My problem with the film was that instead of it being a superman film it was a, "what would christopher reeve do"? kind of movie and supes had no opponent to really go toe to toe with.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Oh, I have more of a problem with the film than the suit itself. If the film was great, I would have over looked the suit.

I fixed that one for you. ^^

[JustRob]

I think it's a shame that they made these design changes. Raimi's suit was a perfect copy of that in the comics, down to the last detail. I always loved it.

This suit looks good but it's no longer Spider-Man. It reminds me more of Spider-Carnage.

Then again, this entire reboot is a shame. No more J. Jonah Jameson? Seriously?

whether you like it or not is one thing, but saying it doesn't look like spider-man is ridiculous.

[JustRob]

I'm not saying it doesn't look like Spider-Man. Spider-Carnage looked similar to Spider-Man too. This suit is just in my opinion leaning more to Spider-Carnage then to Spider-Man from the comics.

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

I don't see that one bit, but hey, if you see it, you see it...

The new suit was adapted from his wrestling costume in a Spider-man mini series if you didn't already know. The silver shoes were added in to make him look more hip and the dark groin was done to enhance his package for audiences.

[JustRob]

Sorry, but silver shoes does not make him look "hip". It makes him look like a crossdresser.

[Mercurius]

Welcome, JustRob.

Thanks. Glad I found some other Spidey fans I can discuss with =D

How do you know this? :dry:

I'm thinking the silver shoes are so that the legs match the arms (symmetry) and the dark groin is so that in post they can hide the cup easier. (black hides bulges)

Stop assuming, it looks bad.

[shinlyle]

Well, after looking at the new photo I can say this: That is a well-done photo of a half-assed costume. The pose, the lighting, they are all awesome. Shoot, this would be an awesome poster. That being said, the changes that I didn't like in the earlier shots are even more jarring here. The square webbing, the gloves, the weird suit pattern around the boots...they are just amplified in this image.

I still don't think it needed to deviate from the original comic suit or the Raimi suit this much. Had they meet in the middle, it might have been different.

Still, hoping that this movie will turn out good. I still hate the BB/DK Batman suit, and those movies were great.

[Darkness Falls]

i don't get that logic at all :huh:

[Majik1387]

It's because it's illogical.

[JustRob]

What's illogical is to have silver parts randomly on there in the shape of women's shoes.

[LegendaryCaleb]

i have silver on my basketball shoes...almost that exact design...nikes...coolest shoes i got...i guess im a crossdresser?

[Infinity9999x]

Whoa, what's this I read about no JJJ in the reboot?

A little late to the party there... don't worry, I'm disappointed too.

[Alchemyst]

What's illogical is to have silver parts randomly on there in the shape of women's shoes.

With as much action as this film may have in it, I doubt you'll have enough time to pay attention to the silver lining on his shoes.

Whoa, what's this I read about no JJJ in the reboot?

It was one of the tidbits of news that got out, apparently he won't be appearing at all in the film. The filmakers may be saving him for a sequel

Do you often make comments on youtube?

[JustRob]

Only when there's something meaningful to point out.

[echostation]

Yeah that's right, With as much heavy bit time action this film may have with it's gargantuan mega $80 million budget which is less than half (inflation adjusted) of the first Spider-Man film's budget, making suit changes like these are totally acceptable within the context.

Spidey only deserves 80 million bucks as a budget - that will be plenty to show case the Heavy insane action this film will have

[Hotwire]

* big round spider on the back
The one thing I've never liked about the comic suit.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Whoa, what's this I read about no JJJ in the reboot? Well, it's been said that he's not in the film, but there will be nods to let us know he IS in the films. There was a Daily Bugle van spotted on set.

[catlas]

Only when there's something meaningful to point out.

....and that actually qualified as .."meaningful"...? :huh:

[Spidey_62]

i have silver on my basketball shoes...almost that exact design...nikes...coolest shoes i got...i guess im a crossdresser?
I got silver on my shoes just like that, too. We're all crossdressers!

[Goku Goes Crazy]

The suit looks amazing. Everything about this movie looks amazing. I seriously can't wait. This movie is going to be so bad ass. We have a real, great actor as Spider-Man. A kick ass costume. This movie looks like its going to have a much more adult/contemporary tone then Raimi's films. My god, I want to see a trailer right now. July 2012 is going to be a great month for film The Amazing Spider-Man and The Dark Knight Rises.

I don't know how anyone can hate on the suit. What really pisses me off is that people are making fun of the suit base off pictures taken by a crappy camera!!!! Of course the suit is going to look bad when the pictures are taken by a crappy camera, but in front of a million dollar camera, it will look great. Notice how the official pictures look so much better then the crappy unofficial set pictures. That's because the official pictures were taken by a real professional camera. The suit will look great on screen!!!

[Darkness Falls]

I got silver on my shoes just like that, too. We're all crossdressers!

*checks basketball shoes* yep i have silver too :wow:

[chaseter]

if they had made the costume a 100% copy of spidey, kids would have looked at the toy and thought 'hey, I have that toy already'

Ack this is probably true. Makes me scared that they might be using different suits for each movie to pump up toy sales:csad: Sony/Arad also did that to SM3 with the symbiote.

[spida-man]

When you start asking yourself questions like that, you might as well ask yourself, "Why the webs on the costumes?" With Spider-Man, it's the design that matters the most to me, not so much the logic behind it.

"Why webs, sir?"
"They get in my face and stuff. It's time my enemies feel my dread."

arg... i forgot where that quote is from.

[spida-man]

What's the big deal with the belt, seeing as how he dosen't, ya know, USE IT?

:doh: clearly you've never read a spidey comic if u think he doesn't use his belt...

[Goku Goes Crazy]

arg... i forgot where that quote is from.

Alfred: Why bats sir?

[Fearghus]

Hey guys! I'm always on here reading, but I never really thought to create an account so I decided I'd join up finally.

My friend and I were debating about the yellow/gold eyes earlier today. I find them to be really cool but she disagrees.
She edited the new photo a bit, making the eyes lighter... I figured you guys might be interested. Neither of us are any good at photo manipulations so I'm sure it can be done better by you guys, but I have to say, seeing her edited photo really made me want that classic white/lighter eyes a whole lot more..

Also does anyone else think that the silvery shoes would have looked a lot better if it was the blue material (kind of like the gloves) instead of silver? As it is (as bright as silver is) I think it stands out way too much, which is why it seems so odd to everyone... (I have similar shoes btw so I can see why they might keep them silver to keep the suit more realistically made but still...)

Also: Is there anyone out there making a classic design manipulation with these materials/colours? I thought I saw someone saying they would... I'd be interested in seeing that done.

Here's the photo my friend edited...

Neither have I, and I've read them all... I could have missed it though :)
He does however use a real belt beneath the costume. But the red 'belt' is simply for design. But it's been a part of Spidey since the beginning which makes the new design seem slightly awkward to look at when you are so used to a full red 'belt'

[LegendaryCaleb]

didnt he use it to hide his spidey tracers and spidey signal...all things that arent needed in a movie...

[spider-neil]

showed the costume (latest official picture) to a friend who really has no interest in spidey and he said the costume looks badass. forgot to ask him if he perfers it to the raimi outfit.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I've never read a Spidey Comic where he uses his belt.... He used it for his Spider-signal, spider tracer, and web-catridges.

Then you haven't read them very carefully, then! He used his belt for Spider-Tracers, web cartridges, spider-signal, and other misc. items. I think he's even carried pagers and cell phones in it before. Hopefully, this movie Spidey won't run out of web fluid...!

because...let's face it, spidey's suit has never changed since the 60's...

[Gianakin_]

Has he ever dressed up as Aunt May?

[chaseter]

Look how absolutely terrible most of those are.

[Gianakin_]

They really are.

[Mr. Earle]

I remember the issue where he dressed in the F4 suit and used the paperbag as a mask. Now i want to read the issue where he impersonated Aunt May. Spiderman is awesome!

Btw have you guys seen his new F4 suit? Spider-Stig is awesome!

[Stelze]

Scarlet Spider ftw! :hrt:

Scarlet Spider ftw! :hrt:

Most of them are bad, but Scarlet, Ben Reilly, Classic, Black Suit, All-Black and the suit between the Black Suit and the Fantastic Four Bag-man are awesome.

[Whiskey Tango]

Peter Porker, the Spectacular Spider-Ham! :awesome:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Edit

[spider-neil]

the funny thing is I have most (if not all) of the issues that those costumes appear in. the exception being the spidey wrestler costume issue that is the inspiration for the ASM costume.

[Randy Jackson]

I can't wait to see all of your reactions when you all realize that you can see Spider-man's mouth through the mask. So many people are going to immediately argue that you can't, but just wait till the studio gives us a straight forward close-up shot of the mask.

[WarriorDreamer]

Has anyone seen this? IGN's analysis of the new suit?

I apoligize if it's already been posted.

[Chris Wallace]

I've never read a Spidey Comic where he uses his belt....

I think over the last 8-10 years it's been significantly reduced, but he has used the belt QUITE often.

Watch the 90's series; he was ALWAYS reaching into it for something.

[JustRob]

Yep. And he also uses it as a red flashlight every now and then.

[chaseter]

If he doesn't work for the Bugle and there is no JJJ then there will be no belt camera.

[Mercurius]

If he doesn't work for the Bugle and there is no JJJ then there will be no belt camera.

Yeah, very true. It was used often mostly in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. He's used the signal on the belt to sort of scare criminals back in the old days and much more.

Watch the 90's series; he was ALWAYS reaching into it for something Yeah, as well as The Spectacular Spider-Man animated show. :spidey:

Actually that's a "Spider-signal".
http://i75.photobucket.com/albums/i283/ghostofjealousy/links_image_spider-signal-1.jpg
He does use it to light his way but he also occasionally uses it to announce his presence right before laying the smackdown on the bad guys.

[Chris Wallace]

And without the Bugle and without JJJ, they'll be also without Mercurius at the theatre. :o

For a number of reasons, I'm presently finding it unlikely that I'll be there either. I'm still holding out hope for an awesome trailer that will change my mind.

[Mr. Earle]

Tell that to Marvel.

http://i136.photobucket.com/albums/q191/UlimateSpiderMan3/CivilWarSpiderMan.jpgI love this suit.

[Saint]

I love this suit.

It always drove me nuts that Quesada designed it with three legs instead of four. Not only did it look stupid, but it made no sense.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I don't know what the hell that is, nor do I want to... It's the Iron Spider suit that Tony Stark made for Peter during the Civil War arc. I, msyelf, was never a big fan of the suit.

[GammaAzazel]

It always drove me nuts that Quesada designed it with three legs instead of four. Not only did it look stupid, but it made no sense.

Unless parker is packing a third leg already. ;D

[Mr. Earle]

It always drove me nuts that Quesada designed it with three legs instead of four. Not only did it look stupid, but it made no sense.
Yes four would have made more sense. I didnt know Quesada designed it. Huh... I must hate it now. :awesome:

But seriously i dont really care about the spider legs, for me its the design of the body suit that's really cool. Have you seen his new F4 suit? Here:

[Knight Rise]

for the last time, ITS NOT FANTASTIC 4. its Future Foundation

[Wolvieboy17]

I think it all adds up to 8 limbs. 2 legs, 2 arms, 3 mechanical arms and....uh.... His 'Web Shooter' ;)


Ah man, if only this was connected to the MCU, we might actually have a chance of seeing the Iron Spidey suit one day. Shame shame.

[Mr. Earle]

Yeah, I think it's pretty kickass. Like Spidey from the future.

[Wolvieboy17]

It's not THE FUTURE, it's THE FUTURE FOUNDATION! GOOOOOOOOOSH! JEEEEEEEZ! :P

[Fearghus]

I think those eyes are way too white
Possibly. Neither of us really had the skill to recolour just the yellow parts so she just went over the entire thing with a bit of white... But considering Spidey's eyes are completely white in the comics, can you ever really be too white? :)

Then you haven't read them very carefully, then! He used his belt for Spider-Tracers, web cartridges, spider-signal, and other misc. items. I think he's even carried pagers and cell phones in it before. Hopefully, this movie Spidey won't run out of web fluid...!

Please try and read my post more carefully... I know he wears a belt beneath the costume! That's what I meant by "He does however use a real belt beneath the costume" What I was referring to (and what I thought the other poster meant) was that he never actually uses the red 'belt' in the costumes design. I thought I was agreeing that the red 'belt' was useless and meant only for good looks... :)

It always drove me nuts that Quesada designed it with three legs instead of four. Not only did it look stupid, but it made no sense.

Maybe they were afraid it might look too much like Doc Ock with four mechanical limbs... Personally, I think it would have been a great looking suit if they left the mechanical arms OFF.

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Well, in most of the comics I read where he used that suit, the legs were completely retracted a vast majority of the time, but I didn't read all that many issues from that timeframe.

[Fearghus]

Yea, you really saw them mostly in promotional images or on the front covers... He never even really used them... I see no reason to ever even design them as part of the suit...

[Wolvieboy17]

I think 2 shoulder legs would have been fine. And he used them a fair amount in Civil War

[The Slang]

Maybe they were afraid it might look too much like Doc Ock with four mechanical limbs...

Or Invader Zim http://i983.photobucket.com/albums/ae319/slanguaj/DIT3MICA0GGEV8CA8KS225CA92QLA2CAJBKDZECAS089N7CARP IVN7CAYXAO4BCA2X1OHBCAOS538KCA8VJX4VCAT3SJKOCA3R1E 2KCAAJCPCECAF53WBRCAQKPVZ0CAM2I89VCAA6SO.jpg

[Fearghus]

Or Invader Zim
I'm not familiar with Zim, but from that picture, I guess yea, it would look quite a bit like that as well.
I think 2 shoulder legs would have been fine. And he used them a fair amount in Civil War
Two would have been better, but none would have been best.
What annoyed me most about those arms was that yea he used them a few times... But when did he ever NEED them? They just took away from the Spidey we know and love... Imo

[Wolvieboy17]

But wasn't that the point? It wasn't needed, it was excessive and indicative of his 'selling out' ot the registration side, which made it all the more symbolic a gesture when he ditched the outfit and returned to his black one for a time, in mourning for Cap. It's not like he wore the costume for long, and it was meant to be garish and over the top. It was like a nightmarish vision of Stark's mind. I think Tony, at that point in time, probably thought he could improve on every hero and thats what made him weak AND under estimate Cap. He was missing the crucial spark that made them all heroes in the first place, that most of those heroes weren't like him and didn't NEED hi-tech prosthesis.

[Fearghus]

Wow wolvieboy17, I completely forgot about all that... It's been a while. I guess now I'm just thinking too much about design instead of the story.. You're completely right.
Thanks for reminding me.
Still though, without the arms, the suit was an improvement... (Gliding, Stopping bullets [Not that he really needs that but still... I would definitely keep it.. haha])
Just sever the connection to Stark so that he can't control it in any way, and you basically have a metallic symbiote suit... (in the way that it can look like other costumes mainly)
But I'm so glad he didn't keep it.

[Mr. Earle]

It's not THE FUTURE, it's THE FUTURE FOUNDATION! GOOOOOOOOOSH! JEEEEEEEZ! :P
:funny: Hehe, not everyone reads comics so they wouldnt know what that is. But when you say Spidey replaced Johnny in the F4, everyone knows what you re talking about.Yeah, I think it's pretty kickass. Like Spidey from the future.It is, isnt it?
I like it too.

[Chris Wallace]

Yeah but in the animated series he also had a red ordinary flashlight. Here's an example of him using it underwater:

http://i52.tinypic.com/23h1s09.png

I know that. Only in the 90's series was it an ordinary light. Spectacular was the only show that depicted it as a "Spider-Signal". The Scarlet Spider, however, did have the plain red light.

[Chris Wallace]

Yeah, very true. It was used often mostly in the 60's, 70's, and 80's. He's used the signal on the belt to sort of scare criminals back in the old days and much more.

Yeah, as well as The Spectacular Spider-Man animated show. :spidey:

Then of course there was the 70's show where he wore the belt on the outside and never reached into it for anything. Ever.

[NHawk19]

Then of course there was the 70's show where he wore the belt on the outside and never reached into it for anything. Ever.

you cant just use a beld to hold up your pants anymore :huh:

Not when they've clearly established that it's a full bodysuit which attaches at the shoulders.

[JustRob]

I wonder how he puts it on. It must be really stretchy material.

[Chris Wallace]

It's not THE FUTURE, it's THE FUTURE FOUNDATION! GOOOOOOOOOSH! JEEEEEEEZ! :P

The FF costumes make me think of soccer balls.

[Eggyman]

Then of course there was the 70's show where he wore the belt on the outside and never reached into it for anything. Ever.

He did. The one set in LA with the bomb on the roof of that building as the climax--the white limo, he puts a tracer on it, and the tracker is on the belt, and it falls off when that brute chucks him off the building and he makes a web net to catch himself.

He didn't use the belt much, but that's one example of when he did.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ That show was just bad. Nicholas Hammmond was pretty good though.

[Eggyman]

It was in the 70s. It was as good as it could be. It tried and it had heart.

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Yeah, but it proved that a Spider-Man film/series probably wouldn't have worked to it's full potential back then.

[Wolvieboy17]

I met Nicholas Hammond last year. I was involved in a celebrity Theatresports night and he was a special guest. Really sweet guy, but he got really offended when Kirk Pengilly started talking about drug days in INXS.
