The Amazing Spider-Man 2 Rate the NEW ASM2 costume!!!

[TH29]

I think keep the pattern and fabric/latex/rubber/spandex would have done this outfit more justice; and I aas well would have kept the shoe soul practicality of the boots from TASM.

Agreed, exactly, make it feel like a natural progression to the classic suit, but keeping elements that hark back to the ASM suit, not the RAIMI suit...

how creatively bankrupt are they then that they couldnt come up with a new texture pattern to keep it seperate from the first franchise?! Weak excuse/reasoning if ive ever heard it.

Because no one but a bunch of fanboys (who they know 100% will be in theaters watching it) care about tiny design patterns. That suit looks great, that's all I care about!

yeah and while this whiny fan boy is watching it, ill be saying, god i wish this didnt remind me of those old raimi movies. Well thats fine if all you care about is how it looks, but to me while yeah it looks like spider-man, it also looks like a bit of a lazy ass rehash and THAT is disappointing.

 

[Mr. Dent]

It more or less looks like the basic design of the webshooter seen in the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon and it looks just as awful. I loved the look of the TAS-M webshooter where it seemed like just a very rough design that added to the edginess of the first suit.

I don't think it looks like the design of the USM cartoon webshooters besides being red and sticking out of his costume.

I'm not ready to judge the webshooters yet because we haven't seen a good picture of them yet or what the possible difference is, but I did like the webshooters in TASM and do miss the interface they had, it looked really sleek and modern. These new ones don't appear to be as sleek or modern.

 

[TH29]

Its too blatantly an obvious lazy design element that I am sad to see after the ASM suit made a great effort to set itself apart and still keep the spirit of the traditional suit alive while being designed to work and feel right in the world they were creating.

I think the thing though is that this film and world will feel completely different than the first.

You see, once you pay for your ticket, it kinda doesn't matter what you think. I didn't care for The Avengers and The Dark Knight Rises, yet, I contributed to both of the their movies, because they got my money.

Thats a big problem for me personally then, since what made me love the first film, WAS that world they created.

I am always happy to contribute to a spider-man movie or most comic book movies, I just guess I cant possibly understand why they would choose some of those design elements when making a NEW suit. Its not like that brick pattern is iconic?! Could have easily pulled a texture pattern from the ASM suit and softened it up just the same.

That doesn't change anything, Harvs.

How about we compromise, boys and girls?

Does the new outfit look nice? Oh, why yes!!! It looks wonderful! Those eyes, the logo, EVERYTHING. Very much so, yes yes YES!

But it's STILL lazy. If they wanted to go more traditional Spiderman, SURE, why not? If it's in the best interest of making this film and making a cooler Spiderman, most definitely! But when you compare BOTH outfits and BOTH have the same EXACT brick cotton pattern fabric and nearly identical raised webs... I EVEN SAY, Sony, Mr. Webb: that's LAZY.

I know you all may not have been fond of TASM costume; I loved it, personally. But there are LOTS of you who didn't like and I understand. But give it props for the costume for being ORIGINAL and it's own thing. More time could have been invested into making the suit instead of nicking 80% of the Raimi outfit AND the Raimi concept art.

Sure, we'll get used to it, and it looks awesome. But I say that it could have had the potential to be the BEST Spiderman outfit without really stealing from the McGuire era. If that bothers some of you, suck it up! I'll have to suck it up that this is the final look, so we're in the same boat.

Hm, do you not want them to build off the foundation they set? they literally can't keep the world feeling completely grounded while bringing in villains like Electro, Rhino, and Goblin. It's inevitable that it starts to feel comic book-y even if the situations surrounding their transformations are based in science.

It's not about the damn patterns, it's about using the classic suit, nothing more and nothing less. No one pays attention or cares about the tiny patterns on Spider-Man's suit but fanboys.

Fanboys = The 1%

Masses = The 99%

It felt pretty fantastical yet "realistic" to an extent even with a giant lizard and spider-powered teenager swinging around, id like that to continue. Whereas the Raimi movies felt overly "fake" and "set heavy"

Obviously some people do pay attention. Stop acting like because its not important to you or you could care less about design aesthetics, that its not an issue or important to others who love spider-man just as much or more than you and who also happen to take things like design into account because its something of interest to them. You are on a message board for comic book movies, you are a fanboy too whether you think so or not.

It's not lazy. There's no point in changing something if you feel what you have is better. Change for the sake of change is not a good thing. I'm sure they've done all types of research into what fabrics and material work best with what they want to convey with the suit and have come to the conclusion that the brick pattern and raised webbing work best.

Again, it's not lazy, it's taking what works best over what looks different.

Also, I just don't like it when you guys use the raised webbing as an argument because the design is just not the same. The webs are barely raised on this suit, they're thinner and there are more of them, and they are not silver but black. They obviously thought about how to make the webs look the best they could and didn't simply look at the Raimi suit and say "yeah just stick those on there". Even the webs on the TASM suit were slightly raised, or at least on the mask they were. They just weren't as pronounced as the webs here, just like the webs here aren't as pronounced as the Raimi costume.

No matter what people say, this costume is fundamentally a combination of both TASM and Raimi and the traditional style. The only thing that is straight up taken from the Raimi costume is the brick pattern, otherwise everything else has a touch of TASM in it.

Yeah, and as a fanboy, I wanted the classic suit, and I got it. As far as I'm concerned--Marc Webb has shut me the hell up. Well, at least concerning the costume.

I don't think it will feel like the Raimi films but they will be less inclined to stress how realistic the world is or whatever...I think it will be similar to the Iron Man films in that sense. It will feel like a grounded CBM but at the same time feel comic book-y as well.

 

[spider-neil]

It is a litle wierd by they went the Raimi route with regards to the costume overall design rather than taking the ASM costume and straight up change it to the classic suit.

ASM suit
* lose leg stripe
* insert red belt
* lose blue trim from gloves
* lose/reduce silver trim on belt

The seems easier then completely throwing away the ASM suit, starting from scratch with the Raimi suit but retaining the logos front and back from the ASM suit.

I watch ASM last night and the way the light catches the costume is absolutely PERFECT. Now image that material and texture placed on a straight up Spider suit ripped right from the costumes, that would elevate the Spider-Man costume to my favorite superhero movie costume of all time.

 

[Joe_Kickass]

Taking away the stripes doesn't really add up because he could have easily taken other stripes on the suit...(the arm stripes). The quick change can be for a reason, but as I said about nitpicks, it just doesn't add up.

Like I said, to steamline it. Make it simpler and more solid looking. If you're going to nitpick about that then you should nitpick about why Stark randomly decided to switch up the colors on his Iron Man suit and make the gold more emphasised than the red.

The suit is still comprised of some of the same material as TASM suit. Look at the blue sections, similar material as the previous suit but not as shiny, in Raimi's suit the red and blue bleed into each other material wise, while on TASM they are seperate. Also, if you notice in the set pics, the red parts look shiny, while Raimi's suit always looked matte and soft. Its like a blend between those two material. Something that will work better during the daylight (because the last movie's material would be overly reflective), but still have bump when movie lights hit it at night. Just wait til we get more official pics, because for all we know with certain lighting the suit can look completely different.

Agreed with all this.
Also, the lightning thing is huge. Just looking at different shots and angles from those paparazzi photos, the suit looks better in some photos than others.
I wanna see some footage to see how those shiny red parts look. I know they'll be different from what we see because right now it looks a little cheap, fabric wise. But take a look at the promo photo and the red looks fine.

Also, isn't it funny how we haven't had a full front view of the suit yet??

I've seen a picture of the mask from the front and it looks freaking awesome. I thought the big eyes would be a problem, they're not, they make Spidey truly look like Spidey. Sorry, I don't have a link and I can't remember where I saw it.

Have you seen a full, non-obscured view of the full mask from the front? All the ones I've seen are either angled or where he's wearing a hood.

 

[DaJanksta]

Not a die hard spidey fan but I liked the ASM costume. I liked the gloves and the color scheme. Sad to see both of them go. I do like the eyes though. I thought after seeing it at first that it was a photoshop of a Toby spiderman pic. Also baffled why they went back to the old texture of the suit? I loved the one in ASM. Weird.
