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

[webhead9707]

Yet, it's still spandex. I think people are trying desperately NOT to like the classic suit, I'm having a ball watching the very people who begged for the classic costume somehow become upset, because now they're getting it. Fanboys, they never cease to amaze me.

Yes but there's a difference in Peter Pan spandex and football player spandex. I know you weren't specifically talking about me, but just so we're clear, I loved the ASM suit from the start. I always thought it was close enough to the original with good practical additions.

You've gotta be kidding, right? Who else is going to care about that, seriously?

Well I'm just nitpicking, I really like the costume. I just wish it could have been better. There are other people that agree with me. The red on the costume now just looks barely better than the fragile stuff Halloween costumes are made out of. (Part of that is due to the photo quality though.)

IMO, the change in the costume design needs to be explained. The design of the ASM suit was based on principles of drag and velocity. It made sense that he chose the materials used by the Luge teams to help give him the best traits of those categories. Now, we have a mostly new looking suit which looks pretty cool, but does it fit the previous reasoning? I think it would be interesting to hear the explanation as to why he felt those changes for the suit would be needed.

Creator, I'm not seeing the people who asked for the classic costume complain about the new costume.

Yeah it is, wait until Sony gives us a full on high-rise version. They don't make cheap Spider-Man suits, even if you don't like the design, there's nothing cheap about the making of these suits.

Yeah, I am, it's mostly nitpicking (da eye are too big, da colors are too dark, etc.) I can't find one thing to nitpick about, well, maybe if we could see the suit from the front there might be something. But right now, I got nothing.

Agreed. That's one of the things I liked about the movie.

I really wish they would have kept the material the first suit was made of. It looked more durable, the new one looks like the slightest thing would mess it up.

And it isn't because of the set photos, look at the difference:

Spoiler

See the difference? I love the new lenses though. And the blue parts still look fine. It's the material the red parts are made of that I dislike.

I agree. Someone else said it really great. The material used in the TASM suit made it look like a suit for acrobatics or something. It looks like it isn't just to look flashy. The TASM2 suit kind of looks like a costume, for theatrics. Obviously, to an extent, TASM is a costume just for looks too because its not like the different colors, the webs, and the big spider on his chest aren't actually helping him with anything. But other elements of the TASM suit make it look like it was made to do flips and fight in.

So it's basically the purpose of those two guys discussing Spider-Man motion physics shortly before his idea for a costume?

I can see that's where he knew he needed to have spandex. But the actual aesthetic design? Nah.

But man, I do hope we get a GOOD in film explanation for the change. I did like that in TDK.

 

[CoolCadaver49]

Well I saw the set pics of the costume, and I think I really like it (more than the official pic). I love the shade of the costume in the set pics, but I'm not sure if that is due to the shadows on-set. I'm afraid that color wont be retained in the final film.

 

[Smegger56]

I don't like how lose the mask seems to be.

Again though, no matter what the costume, just give me a damn good film that equals to betters (preferably betters) TASM

 

[Anno_Domini]

Horrible webshooters.

 

[Smegger56]

^Yep.

I hope this looks better on film. Right now, not impressed.

To be fair, I wouldn't say most people were impressed or happy when they saw set pics of the ASM suit. Let's think about this.

 

[Joe_Kickass]

Horrible webshooters.

Eh, considering that they're red they'll be even less noticible than the ones in TASM, which you rarely saw unless the camera was focused on them. Its basically the same design, just with a cover over it to hide the little clock cogs (which I wasn't too big a fan of it, it made the shooters to me seem forcibly handmade looking). It looks easier to reload as well. We'll probably get a more in depth look at them like the last ones, but they're not that big of a deal. I hope he runs out of web fluid at some point though.

TASM's mask was loose like the rest of the costume. It would wrinkle in the front of it. The whole suit was like a elephant skin rather than skin tight. One of the reasons why I could see Peter going for this material, is just imagine how uncomfortable it was in there being almost naked. Its like the difference between wearing a leather jacket without a shirt to wearing a cotton hoody without a shirt. Plus, imagine how unbearbly hot it must have gotten in there, and considering it appears that the film is shooting in the day, that could be another reason why the crew went to this material. It doesn't look 100% like the material Raimi used since this material seems to have some shine to it, while Raimi's was more matte and soft looking. Also it would be more comfortable for the character of Peter.

The shooters do not look like the same design.

Also, I know the costume would wrinkle. But never saw the mask as lose as that in TASM or the Raimi films. I liked the fact that the TASM suit would wrinkle. But I also liked the fact that the mask appeared to be fitted. IMO, that's one part that should 'appear' skin tight for the visual. Why? It just looks good.

Please understand also that the look of the costume will not make or break this film for me at the end of the day

Basically the same design? How do you get that? I see nothing that looks like the basic design as this

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.

Agreed

 

[AF3619]

what if these are the same web-shooters but with a case on them?

 

[mayo23]

I think the new webshooters look fine given the the new suit. It looks as if Peter just upgraded his gear to be more polished.

 

[CoolCadaver49]

I was.

You're not most people, Anno.

I seem to remember a lot of initial backlash against the suit in TASM

Anyway, yeah, the webshooters are terrible. I thought they were fine in the first movie.

Horrid case then.

i was one of them. And that was mainly due to it not being the classic. And some of those set pics where poor. But now I consider it the best spidey costume.

Don't you find that ironic though? we've got now what is arguably the closest looking suit to the classic design.
