I think the Cap suits ARE over designed. It's not just modernization. Just tell me what all of those straps and patches, zippers, and seams are used for? It's just over designed to make it more utilitarian and militaristic. That's not a problem, just stating that it's the same with this Spider-Man. Thats where you get the freaking dumb looking black lines and rigid seams that shouldn't be there. The web cartridge belt makes sense yes, but doesn't make it visually appealing. It interrupts the flow of the suit. The spider on the chest is pretty crappy too, I'd imagine everyone universally agrees on that haha.
Don't get me wrong though, I like the suit overall, I just think its SO close to greatness, but missed the mark. Change a few things and it would be perfect. Thats what's so freaking frustrating.
The web design is growing on me, I don't have as much problem with that as I do the other features. There was raised webbing on the ASM2 suit yes, but it wasn't nearly as prominent as Raimis, and it isn't silver/grey. It refined the look to perfection.
This CW suit isn't necessarily a step back, but it's not a step forward. A step sideways perhaps.
