I prefer kind of carved webbing like in Romita Jr's Spider-Man.

Sempre bello vedere pagine in italiano. XD
 
Some of the excuses for hating the ASM2 costume sound strange to me. So, we get a comic book accurate costume but some people hate it because it looks too similar to Raimi's practically perfect costume? Unless you're AviArad, failing to shift merchandise of toys because the costumes look top similar, it's difficult to understand why anyone should give a ****

TASM1 was alright but there was no reason not to use the classic design and given the nature of these movies and tge character in question I don't subscribe to the preposterous notions of Peter needing some crappy costume for the sake of realism or whatever.
 
I just tried watching ASM 1, couldnt get through it. I just dont like the cast/filmmaking style of it.
 
Well, I don't know about him, but the reason why I dislike it is because the unnecessary recycling of Sam Raimi's Spider-Man suit. And I'm talking about the details like raised/3-D webbing grey webbing and Lycra brick pattern materials. Those elements are not necessarily required to make a comic accurate Spider-Man suit, case in point:

Now that looks comic accurate, looks like an evolution of TASM1 design, and looks NOTHING like Raimi's suit besides the fact that they share the same design layout.

TASM1 creative new design while still retaining elements of the classic suit>>>>>>>TASM2- Hideous rehashing of Sam Raimi's suit with the ugliest Spidey lenses and symbol to date.
Exactly! This was always the main reason I didn't like the suit in ASM2.

Never like the raised/silver webbing, or the printed spandex, which is why I liked the first Garfield costume a lot. The colours are better on that one too.
 
It's as if people forget ASM 2 is 2 years behind us now and ASM is 4 years behind us. Their not coming back. I don't get the need people feel to bash and complain about it like it just happened.
 
Just because its aged by a couple years that doesn't stop people from feeling the way do about the movie. 4 years is certainly not that long at all; but Look at the Schumacher batman movies, Daredevil (film), xmen 3 and xmow. They get bashed all the time, and probably always will.
 
Thor 2 was was 3 years ago and it still gives me bowl cramps.
 
Hated Thor 2 when it came out. Hated it. But I've since watched it about 5 times and I'll be honest, it grows on me more each time I watch it. Sure, there are still parts that I find God-awful, but as a whole I now find it quite watchable.
 
"bowl cramps" :lmao:

I like Thor 1, Ive only seen Thor 2 once and it wasnt one of my fave MCU films.
 
The Russos on their take on Spider-Man.

"It was also important to us that the actor that was cast feel contemporary because the other films that portrayed where he lived is more... they honored the comic books in terms of the choices," he continues. "But you go look at the home that Tobey Maguire lived in in Raimi’s Spider-Man was... those were very expensive homes. We wanted to relate it to the reality. A character growing up with his aunt in New York, a single income family… Where would they live? What would that look like? Where could they afford to live? We asked ourselves all those questions. We try to take a very logical and realistic and naturalistic approach to the character."

That all makes sense, especially as the comics typically portrayed Peter as coming from a hard working, but very poor background (pretty much everything he did as a youngster was to help his Aunt May pay the bills). Does this mean that we'll no longer see him and May living in a cushy house in Queens? It certainly sounds that way, and Anthony then went on to address how they're going about fitting this new version of Spider-Man into the MCU. "We're bringing Spider-Man into the movie in that universe, now, in that specific tonal stylistic world. I think underscoring everything Joe was saying about your question in terms of how were we thinking about the character in relation to past interpretations of the character, part of our choices were all so colored by the specifics of the world what we were playing in with these two Captain America movies, meaning Winter Soldier and Civil War. It's a very specific tonal world. It's a little more grounded and a little more hard-core contemporary. That was also coloring our choices a lot about the character on Spider-Man."

"We're not trying to denigrate other interpretations of Spider-Man," he adds. "Raimi's movies are fantastic. Spider-Man one and two are amazing. Two, is one of if not my favorite comic book movie of all time. But he made a very strong choice with those movies from a color palate standpoint to a costume standpoint, execution standpoint, camerawork standpoint to honor the feeling of the comic book. We're trying to honor the feeling of naturalism and to honor the feeling of reality. The harder we can pull these characters into reality, the better for us, especially because we're all so connected now through social media, the Internet. We're all so dialed in to what's happening in current events. That it's important for us that these characters live in the world that we live in because it makes them more real and it makes our experience of watching them more passionate and more well-rounded."

I feel like they're gearing Spider-Man/Peter Parker to pretty much serve as our (the Audiences) Perspective on this crazy world/Superhero conflict.
 
Also their Spidey wont be set in that Raimi type comedic world. It sounds like its going to be more grounded like TWS was. I guess theyre saying like a John Hughes teen film mixed with the MCU.
 
It was comedic in that Raimi style. There was a lot of quirky humor in those movies.

A couple samples of what Im talking about:

Now contrast to The Russos films.

As in "we're racebending most of the supporting cast." lol Just kidding. ;) I like the Raimi movies but I can see where they are coming from.
 
I just hope and pray that Spidey looks close to his classic self. I don't want some modern "realistic" update to be honest.

I have faith that he'll look great though, because Black Panther, Vision, Iron Man, Dr. Strange, etc. are all spot-on.

Spectacular Spider-Man already did it, so it's not that big a deal.
 
I like the Russo's, but interviews like this are such fluff for the most part. It's like saying a lot of something, but really saying a lot of nothing.

I dunno, from this I get that Spider-man's colors will be more muted colors, I also expect Stark to play some part in his final costume. If they are making it 'realistic and grounded' then they are probably needlessly going to explain how a teenage boy got a costume like that.
