New pics of Toby with the black suit . . . Does this mimic Superman III?

[Visionary]

The suit makes him go Goth?!@?!?!??!?! *wow... wonders never cease.

No, the symbiote makes Peter want to be someone else, other than the preppy looking Peter from SM1 and SM2. Change in looks and change in attitude. The look is just for us to visually see the change. Goth usually means: Dark, Strange and Different. Of course, or should I say obviously, Peter did this under the influence of the symbiote, to get away from his former self.

Yeah, except it's worse because instead of turning evil like SV, he splits in two and fights himself.

It was indeed ridiculous, and totally different from what's going on in Spidey 3, now why would Sam Raimi want to copy one of the sh:ttiest comic book movies in history, that made about 15M domestically...people don't even think anymore, they just post?

Now, why the hell is this thread still open?

 

[Spider-Bite]

At least Manson can be intimidating.

I don't know about that. Freaky? well yeah. Intimidating? don't think so.

I think Tobey actually looks kinda emo in thos epics. Is it just me?

i noticed it too somtins definently wrong wit peter.

he also looks very tired and sorta dirty (run down)

 

[Arcturus]

Look's like he got his hair to do that flippy thing, like that guy in that band can do.

 

[Liquid Snake]

hahaha spider-man even more emo now. damn

 

[Abaddon]

Edward Furlong much?

I agree with those of you who said that the "symbiote" (it HASN'T been confirmed that it is....YET.)- or newfound power is slowly corrupting the soul of Peter Parker, and thus he's outer appearence is changing as it is on the inside. Somewhat like the 90's Animated series when he first realizes that not only has his costume and abilities changed, but he FEELS the change within- which had him doing things that he normally wouldn't do. He's free of his normal inhabitions, and well....y'all know the rest! This movie is going to be the SHIZ-NIT! Bottomline!

I agree bottomline spiderman owns every superhero movie.

 

[millennium movies]

Shameless copying... I guess thats the trend today...

I agree bottomline spiderman owns every superhero movie.

Go watch X3

 

[millennium movies]

^ I agree! Its so kiddie friendly and light compared to some other comic book films...

 

[Abaddon]

Raimi's love for Superman has alot to do with it.

 

[millennium movies]

I'd rather watch a superman movie if i wanted to see stuff or reference from it. Raimi, love or no love for S should be as original as he can be for a filmaker. Originality is what's lacking these days, specialy in films of this genre!

 

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Honestly, Spider-Man and Superman are very similar in terms of them both being the flagship superheroes for their respective comicbook brands, and that they're THE two biggest superhero characters ever. With that being said, you can see how the two paralell each other with their unique legacys, and mass media marketability. So what if their movies have certain similarites, that just proves that no matter how different they are- they're really the same on a lot of fronts. Superman lives by the SAME principals that Spidey does: "With great POWER...comes great RESPONSIBILTY" That's just my take on it. But hey- an opinion is an opinion, and EVERYONE has one!

 

[James"007"Bond]

Yeah but each hero have their own trials and tribulations they experience. Why is it that Raimi choses to mirror his movies on the exact same themes of the original 3 superman movies.

well they are both nerdy, they both work for the media, and that's kind of it. I'm not a reader of superman and I have no idea what superman's comics were like during the 50 years before spider-man came out, so it's hard to say what copied what. I don't think raimi is copying the superman movies. I think he is copying the spider-man comic books. His daily life in these movies is petty much like his daily life in the comic books. The themes of the last two movies were in the comic books. I haven't seen the supes movies since I was a little kid, and I can't remember them, but these are spider-man themes. they came from spider-man comic books. maybe the supes movie had them as well, but perhaps those were copied off the spider-man comics.

spider-man wants to save people, but so do most super heroes. spider-man had to learn a lesson though to help him realize it.

 

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

As did Superman when Jonathan Kent dies, remember? (I'm speaking form the movie's origin of course.) He said, "All these powers, and i couldn't save him." He felt like dookie-on-a-stick, and guilty at the same time. So again, there's another similar trait that both characters embody. Read up on Superman's history, and i'm sure you'll come to the same conclusion, or at least agree with some of the points i made.

I agree, Spidey is Marvel's crown jewel.

Because they've had some of the SAME adventures as superheroes. They've both been cloned, (Superman's clone is Bizzaro), killed, and have two of the best arch nemesis in Lex Luthor and Norman Osborn in all of comics (No direspect to the Joker or Doc Ock!). As i staed earlier, they're so much alike its' ridiculous! But that doesn't mean that they're movie franchises are alike though. Sure, certain scenes may've had some similarities, but they still maintain their unique identities as a whole.

No, go watch Batman begins, that owns everything

 

[BLAQUE-SPIDERMAN]

Dude Batman Begins can't even hold up to Spider-Man's left bootie! (LOL!) Hell- even a GLOVE! Batman Begins was a great re-introduction to the character and Batman mytho, but compared to Spider-Man 1??? Man you better stop smokin' that STUFF! (LOL!)
