The Amazing Spider-Man Actor's physique/Spider-Man's build

[Project862006]

Tobey was the fine shape this crap is just nitpicking SM has never been tall or big guy tobey had the perfect physique

 

[Wesley Dodds]

There is no perfect Spidey physique! He's been drawn, in his 48 years, a variety of different ways... MOST famously by Steve Ditko and John Romita sr.
Ditko drew him thin and spindly, incredibly Spider-like, whereas Romita drew him as much more of a bulky guy... More Man than Spider.
I think most people are 'nitpicking' because Raimi based his Spidey on the Romita model, and now most of us see the oppurtunity to go down the equally classic Ditko route...

 

[Spectacular23]

Oh God if they get taylor lautner to play Spidey in the reboot. Somebody will Die. I'm like so serious. I think he got enough in Twilight and new moon and don't get me started on that. Just. Oh God.

 

[Dangerous]

Yeah, you think that, the same for Efron.

If Efron gets cast as Spidey someone will die also!

 

[archangel_jay]

guys we are discussing the physique not the selection of who should play it. citing efron and lautners physiques not talents is what this thread is used for to debate the type of physique we as fans believe should be used to represent spidey

 

[Spectacular23]

ok yeah i know what we talking about. I was just saying.

But still spidey should have like a daredevil build like the movie daredevil or better yet a smaller physique than hellboy.

 

[grabmygladys]

Well Peter is 5'10" about 170lbs as an adult. I would imagine an adult Spider-man would be built like George St. Pierre.

 

[Agent 194]

I never have cared for the really skinny look. Even Ditko's Spider-Man eventually had a little shape to him. I cared more for Romtia's look. Actually I liked Romita senior's look of him.

 

[archangel_jay]

spidey should be smaller than dd as dd is 6'1 spidey was around 5'10/11 build wise i hope they keep him athletic aka something like st pierre or efron or somethign of that ilk

Slender/good muscle tone

Not someone overly big or overly tall. Someone with the typical build of an 17-18 year old.

1. Why does every comic fan have an obsession with comic book characters needing to be tall giants?

2. I always felt Raimi's Spidey was just a bit too bulky.

3. I prefer Spider-Man to be on the lanky side.

4. Zac Efron has always been in great physical shape.

 

[A&W]

tobey mgguire had the perfect build in that movie where he was a jockey. what was it called?

 

[Jennifer Walters]

Not really on number 4, JP. Efron back in his Summerlands was a skinny little runt, even in HSM 1, he was skinny. He didn't get in a great physical shape until HSM2 and up.

The other 3 I agree with.

I know, I'm just referring to some of the comments saying Efron has suddenly beefed up. He's been in great physical shape for a long time now. It's nothing sudden.

Yeah, he's been looking muscular wise like does now since late 2006/early 2007.

 

[That person]

I'm hoping for somebody kind of lanky. It'll make his post-bite strength all the more impressive.

1.) Spider-man is listed as 5'10''. Since when is that a tall giant?

2.) Raimi's Spider-Man was a bit too bulky?! Are you kidding me? Tobey wasn't bulky AT ALL!

3.) Lanky? What the hell is this? Get this straight guys, Spider-Man is NOT anorexic!!!! The only person that is to blame for that stupid trend is Romita Jr.

I really liked the above Spider-Man build for a younger Spider-Man. It's pretty similar to the "Spectacular" build.

Going from 100 lbs to 10 tons strength is as impressive as it gets. You don't have to make him lanky to see that.

 

[archangel_jay]

efron hasnt suddenly got buff he has just gradually built lean muscle on his frame as hes got older. hes always been athletic though
