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

[The Infernal]

Maybe they wouldn't have given Raimi 100 percent creative control but much more than would be willing to after a critically panned SM3.

Most complaints about SM3 had nothing to do with Venom which is what Sony tinkered with.

Raimi owns many of the faults from SM3 completely.

Lots of good movies have had studio interference. It's up to the director to make the best out of it.

You imagine, but with it being just a hypothetical that is just your guess. I take the opposite view. I don't see a good reason for Sony to suddenly change how they work with Raimi if SM3 had a better reception than it did.

Sony interfered with more than just Venom. Did you just think Sony asked "could we maybe just add one little thing" and left Raimi to it? Raimi does still own the failure of SM3 in my eyes, but I'm not one to dismiss Sony's involvement out of hand.

I was pretty taken a back with the new costume. I wondered if it was a manip of the Raimi costume made to look more like the comics. But I LIKE it. It looks hugely different from the one in the origin. It will definitely look like the most like the comics of all.

I agree with all this. I too thought it was a manip at first with different eyes. However, I wonder if we will hear Webb's reason for the overhaul on the costume and going back to Raimi's look basically....not that that is a bad thing.

IMO though it's just like the costumes from 1, 2, & 3 (though there were subtle differences with each), but now the eyes are different, same thing though really. I do like those eyes. Gives him more of that bug look and reminds me of ultimate where the Spidey had a big head and skinny body lol.

The spider on his chest still has long legs at least, so it does have inspiration from TASM suit.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

It took almost every single thing about the ASM suit that made it different from the traditional look and threw it out.

Horray!

and the web pattern is still the ASM pattern, just with some differences to accommodate the overall design change.

 

[DaRkVeNgeanCe]

The pattern and texture is really much closer to the Raimi suits, the basketball texture is nowhere to be seen.

 

[craigaat]

The webbing looks a bit better in the set pics, but I still prefer the layout of the Webb suit. Disappointed that nothing managed to survive from it but the new one's still a good looking costume.

MORE SET PICS!

How do you know the poor critical and fan reception had nothing to do with Sony and Raimi's creative differences and split?

For all you know, Sony would've given Raimi everything he wanted for SM4 if SM3 was a great or even good movie.

If S-M 3 faired well better with critics, Sony would probably try to push their opinions even more than before seeing how their idea of using Venom hit off so well with critics and fans alike.

You imagine, but with it being just a hypothetical that is just your guess. I take the opposite view. I don't see a good reason for Sony to suddenly change how they work with Raimi if SM3 had a better reception than it did.

Agreed

I see Sony doing just that as well.

Yah, it's a bit disappointing and frustrating and that's saying it mildly. Whatever Marc Webb tried to do with his original version, even if massively different, they still ended up taking a more Sam Raimi-basis design. If Webb planned to do that, though, I would have preferred just a transitional suit in the sequel and then a more define Spidey suit in the third film.

 

[webhead9707]

I support Andrew Garfield and Webb and the cast, but I don't like Sony. I really hope that after this series is finished Marvel will get the rights back..

 

[TheDevilIsMe]

I'm not sure I can grasp how some are saying 'It looks nothing like Raimi's suit!/It only barely does!'.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

Best Spider-Man costume yet is slightly better than the Raimi suit
But it's the BEST looking suit

Definitely the best looking suit!

 

[pickleweed]

the eyes are absolutely brilliant. perfection.

i wish they would have maintained some pieces of the ASM suit more than they did, but with these eyes, and andrews build, its already better than raimi's. really wish they kept the "basketball" texture and the asm saturation in the colors. and i hope that it maintains the flexibility, specularity, non padded look of the asm version. the puffiness really killed raimis for me.

still not a fan of the raised webbing, but at least its black.

 

[spider-neil]

I'm really torn on the new suit because I really liked the first ASM suit. It's like Spider-Man 1 (the movie) vs ASM there are elements I really love about both movies and if you could mix and match elements you would have the perfect Spidey movie like if you could mix and match elements from both costumes you would have the perfect Spidey costume.

I'm just hoping Andrew and Marc migrate to Marvel too.

Also, Avengers. t:

I'd say the new suit is only SLIGHTLY better than the Raimi suits, but only by a fraction...not enough to really say that it's better. It's basically a retread of Raimi's suit except they made the webbing blacker and thinner and they made his eyes bigger....which IMO, make the overall look too cartoony.

Despite the minor flaws of the TASM suit (which I consider to be the yellow eyes, a belt line you could barely see from the front, and the sneaker shoes being too obvious) I felt that it was vastly superior to any of Raimi's suit and I feel like they're taking a step backwards by basing the new suit on Raimi's old suits.

 

[mayo23]

It still blows my mind how using raised webbing and a brick patterned fabric means they're basing their design off of the Raimi suits.

It's the trademark of the previous trilogy. Webb and crew have already proven that you can create a Spider-Man suit using other methods. Instead of creating the classic suit, but using similar textures as before, they went back and used the raised webbing and exact same brick pattern.

 

[DorkyFresh]

You can argue that the details on the new suit differentiate itself from the Raimi films, but you can't argue against the overall visual being much more reminiscant of Raimi's suits than TASM's suit.

 

[RustyCage]

That's an over-simplification. I find it a bit dishonest, even.

All this "I think it's hilarious how..." and "It blows my mind that..." talk is implying that you think other users are beneath you and stupid. I'm anxious for this oncoming tide of egomania to fade. :/

For some reason, whenever set photos start leaking, this kind of behavior explodes on SHH.

I like to think we're generally more mature than most other forums.

 

[Golgo-13]

I'll wait till I see a full body shot of the costume before I rate it on the poll. But right now probably around an 8/10.

I second this. The stripe down the leg was my biggest issue with ASM suit.

I don't really see it as a "trademark" when it's never really stood out in the Raimi films. As far as I understand, it only seems reminiscent now since the new suit is using a similar pattern and people are suddenly claiming that's some great design Raimi had invented. You may feel otherwise, but I don't think that's proof that they based this suit off of Raimi's.

Same brick pattern. Same suit fabric. Same textures. More or less of the same colors (the spider, the webs). All together creates very similar design choices. They are similar suits.

How exactly is that an over-simplication? What else besides the raised webbing and similar fabric have they ripped off the Raimi suit? The eyes? the color scheme? the black texture on the blue fabric? the entire design itself?

It wouldn't be right of me to act as if others are beneath and stupid, but when you're posting with people who are often so immature, shallow, closed-minded and quick to complain and criticize about everything, then it's hard not to be disappointed and amazed. But then again, it's my fault for sticking around.
