Whose costume is better?

Lol.

Haha. Don't bother going to the doctor, you've just been treated.

Okay then...Raimi's suit has different logos from the comics and his eyes has a blue tint to them in S-M 2 and the blues kept getting darker and darker.

Sure, Raimi had the "right" look of the reds and blues, but he still made mistakes down the line with his film series. Webb is going for something different, but at least he fixed Raimi's mistakes such as the webbing on the suit. The only thing Webb's suit fails in is not having his belt, but maybe it would look stupid with his chest piece being so long, who knows. The suit itself has a more lanky look to it because Webb wanted an agile look on Garfield, much different from the look Raimi wanted on Maguire.

I don't care about how real spider webs look. Doesn't mean they need to try to do that on a costume. Which, by the way, real spider webs don't remind me of the grids on the suit.

Blue tint in his eyes? What?

The new suit has more problems than the belt. They might have wanted a more agile looking Spidey, but what they ended up getting is a guy who looks like a fan in a crappy homemade costume. Skinny Spidey can work in the pages but not so well on screen I guess.

Well obviously, the creators of the new suit DID care on trying to make it resemble more like webs instead of squares as we've seen mostly on Spidey. Again, new take. But, more on that later.

Blue tint in his eyes? What?

When Spider-Man swings around during the night in S-M 2, there was always a weird blue tint around the eyes that just bugged the hell out of me, when his eyes weren't very reflective during the movies and only on posters.

Again, nit picking, but then so was S-MH12 when mentioning the little things such as the lines on the legs, which again, is a new take, and needless to say changes would have been made.

Well, Peter is a scientist whiz and can't make a great ol' suit, so what we get in TAS-M is far more realistic than what Peter made in Raimi's films. Parker is no fashion designer/fashionista. And it's always been that case, so making a live-action movie will make you wonder how the hell Peter made that suit from the last trilogy. This suit looks like a homemade suit because IT SHOULD LOOK LIKE ONE.

Mentioning nitpicks and not what I believe are flaws are two different things my friend.

Those are very very minor. So minor that hasbro started using the eyes of Raimi's as part of the promotional iamges for their Spider-Man classics toys.

Look, I'm not bashing the new suit. I like it, but it's not what it could have been.

And in about two years, they'll probably use Webb's eyes. It's not such a big thing what Hasbro is doing and they're getting all the usage out of Raimi's concept as they can, but it'll change.

[Spider-ManHero12]

I doubt they'll use Webb's eyes and there's really no reason to. They are only slightly smaller than Raimi's if that.

Slightly smaller height-wise, thicker around the lenses and also a bit wider as well. So, I would say that looks very different than Raimi's, imo.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Hasbro won't take the build of any of the movie versions of SPidey. They come up with their own most of the time. For Spider-Man classics, they did use an USM image, but it was for a short time.

[Anno_Domini]

Why did they use Raimi's version of the eyes then?

[Spider-ManHero12]

That's an aspect of the costume. Not the build, lol.

[Anno_Domini]

So why did you bring up 'Raimi's eyes' then? They just used the suit, and it probably did have different looking eyes and webbing for all that matters.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Because, that was the only thing they took from it. I just don't see them taking anything from Marc Webb's film.

[Chris Wallace]

Organic webbing has no impact on the costume itself, as webshooters are (at least SUPPOSED to be) worn underneath the gloves and completely hidden from view. I say the ridiculously large outlet nozzles hurt the look rather than help it.

I disagree. I think it's the ugliest. There isn't one thing I feel it got right.

As it's the only thing that really separates Acheson's from the comics, yes.

I miss the Raimi Spider-Man films. I'm not really excited whatsoever for the reboot to be honest. Part of that is that I've just stopped giving much of a damn about Spider-Man in general after BND, but the reboot's not helping. For a film to be titled The Amazing Spider-Man, I sure have yet to be amazed. In general, Spidey's best days are either behind or ahead of us, but it's certainly not now.

That's not true. I'm not TRYING to defend the suit but to completely bypass the colors, the spider symbols on the front and back, and the eye design because you don't like the suit is crap. So there, that's three things it did right.

What if he doesn't like the colors, the spider-symbols, or the eye design?

I'm not saying he has to like them, but they are still constant with the original Spider-Man suit.

I thought they changed the eye design? The legs on the spiders are also longer, and they colored the front spider red for the back spider, which makes it too small. It is an ugly mess, which while it may have some redeeming factors, should be scrapped in favor of a more comic-book style outfit, in my opinion.
