The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Reboot Costume - Part 2

[Tacit Ronin]

The costume designer probably tried to leave her own mark on the costume and screwed its design on the process. I'm surprised SONY was fine with such butchering.

 

[Hotwire]

The suit looks unfinished, with the red belt not going all the way around, it's the first thing I noticed when I saw the official picture of Garfield in the Spidey suit. The red stripe going down the arms and legs is tacky as well. I wish they could have just stuck with the original design. Why did they have to go and change things, it's annoying, like they just wanted to be different and did something for the sake of standing apart from the Raimi trilogy. I hope this is just his first costume that gets wrecked and then he makes a new one that has the red belt and no red stripes. It's a good looking suit but those things ruin it for me. The spider symbol with the legs running all the way down the front and back is not so great either. I can live with it, it just bugs me of what could have been.

It makes me wonder if people made comments like this when they first saw the Batman Begins suit? Were people really asking why a different director didn't use the same suit as Tim Burton? Or perhaps, why Nolan didn't use the same suit Adam West wore?

Each artist that works on a character is going to try and put their stamp on it. They're going to try and differentiate themselves from what has been done before. Otherwise, every artist that has drawn Spider-Man, would draw him the same way as everyone else.

Curiously enough, first time I saw the Batman Begins' suit I was "Whoa, they're still using the same suit." Sure, it has some sigtnificant variations but it's still the all-black armour, very similar mask and gauntlets.

Problem is when artist put a spin on things for a reason and when they do it for the sake of it, just to feel different.

i wish

the smaller eyes are so much cooler

 

[hame4479]

Well, according to the very manip you used to defend the whole suit, the big eyes work.

I used the manip with the regular eyes not the enlarged ones.

... I'm surprised SONY was fine with such butchering.

If you've seen the first designs of the suit for the first movie, you will see, that the new suit looks like some of the first designs. Don't know if you have the book "Behind the mask..."

Here is a scan from the book:

As you can see, they had stripes on the legs and the design of the gloves is nearly equal to the new suit.
Also the chest spider...

 

[Pumpkin_Bomb]

Besides, Sony let Spider-Man 3 get released, so I don't think "don't let anyone butcher Spider-Man" is too high up on their to-do list.

I remember seeing that in the 'Making of' book, it really does have some defined similarities to the reboot suit. It's nearly the same thing minus the connecting belt and the web pattern.

[lalalala man]

Now no-one knows what they're gonna do with the suit in the sequels but, anybody that thinks *this* suit isn't the suit he's going to have for till the end of the movie is stupid. As Pumpkin mentioned, it can't be a wrestling suit, it just looks too well made to be that.

See that would matter if this was the real world and this was based on a true story. Who cares how well made it is? if it's meant to be a wrestling costume than it's meant to be a wrestling costume don't over think it. There are multiple ways the original suit can come into this movie. He can switch like he did in Spider-Man one. He could meet the lizard for the first time get stomped and get his costume torn up and get a new one. Did anyone question how he got the original red and blue in the first one? That was VERY well done so where did he get the money and supplies etc.? Trust me this suit isn't as big as you guys are making it out to be. Sony didn't mess it up the first time around did they? I think not so why would they mess it up redoing it?? Every picture is from him fighting a criminal that could easily be uncle Ben's killer. Food for thought.

I was just gonna post that

I still love this picture.

[rowleyslims]

sorry but pretty sure Troy is correct. why would they put so much time, money and effort into "this" suit if it wasn't going to be used throughout the movie... think logically; its the suit for the movie, deal... but i still have 100% belief that for the second time around, maybe even at the very end of this one for one final swing or something, its goona change a bit... and not only in material and color but also in design... they wanna differ it from the other movies, so it stands out as a seperate production, but still faithful as it looks like a spiderman suit to the non die hard fans. to them its just another suit. and those are the people who are really supplying the moneymakers their moolah... just my opinion.
(and the suit changing for the end/second might only be wishful thinking on my part, but thats years off so who cares at this point)

[storyteller]

yeah, i don't get the hate for supes' suit.

The problem was that it didn't look like that in the film. It could have been fantastic if it looked Red and Blue and not Brown and that murky blue they used.

Time? Money? effort? Sony has money to blow on this movie and I have no clue if you know this, but they have a year and then some to work on this movie and effort??? the suit rips on set I am pretty sure there wasn't that much effort put into this "multi-million dollar suit". Btw, how many scenes have you seen this suit in use?? maybe 1 or 2 at best yes I know they want to differ and they have already, different first suit, different villain, different love interest and NO J. Jonah Jameson. Remember that though, different FIRST suit and if this suit is used longer than him wrestling or the death of his uncle expect it to get torn apart by the lizard and I am pretty sure a majority of people have seen the first 3 and the first 3 didn't even come out that long ago so it is still fresh in everyone's head.They are not gonna like this new suit. What market is sony aiming for? The blind? You can't say people don't know Spider-Man he's an icon even 5 year olds know who he is and how the suit looks. The suit hasn't changed in over what 50 years??? Batman can't say that.

[rowleyslims]

ima break the reply down and cover things individually.

To start, money to blow??? Wern't they on a budget last i heard?

Secondly, all you've seen is pictures of the suit. They claim the suit is high tech. I’ve heard rumors of the material being able to blend with the shade in order for spidey to hide in the shadows... (Before you jump on me I’m not saying it does this is just an example) we know nothing, other than looks. They obviously put a lot of thought into the costume. I’m not saying it’s my personal choice but it works. Red, blue web pattern. People will recognize this as Spiderman. I’m guessing if they get a good well put together movie people won’t really care the way you do about the costume. Why try and please the fan boys by giving them a perfect suit. Fan boys are near impossible to please when it comes to superhero costumes.
Proof: Spiderman 1's costume, design wise, was PERFECT but people still complain about things on it. Even I do. Blue looks bland and I don’t like the raised webbing but I understand it transitions well with the cameras better so I got over it. Same with the blue, I couldn’t change it so I let it go.

The suit ripping. Personally I wasn’t there so I don’t know but I don’t think it was a rip. There’s a black thing there (maybe a microphone?) no proof it’s a rip. Or was there?

"Yes I know they want to differ and they have already, different first suit, different villain, different love interest and NO J. Jonah Jameson."
Diff first suit: you gave my point and supported me... (?)
Diff villain: every superhero movie either has a diff villain or adds one/some
Diff love interest: doesn’t have to be a new franchise to fall in love with someone else, same with JJJ not being present. Not everyone knows things about Spiderman outside the first movie franchise. Not everyone watches cartoons or reads comics. Look at the way people confused hulk with the new hulk. Even I thought they were the same franchise till I looked into it. And not everyone does. So sorry man, but those were horrible examples. If you had better ones maybe id be singing a different tune.

Movie too soon to reboot? Check this out playa…
Batman was made in 1989 followed by sequels.
Batman forever (reboot) was made in 1995
This is a 6 year difference

Spiderman 1 was made in 2002 followed by sequels
Spiderman reboot comes out 2012
This is a 10 difference

No one complained about the batman thing and that was rebooted in less time than Spiderman.

And finally I’m not saying people don’t know who Spiderman is. Of course they do. But I am saying that they won’t care as much as you about a little sprucing up in the design. And if you think it’s the fan boys who want a perfect costume that’s goona make this movies money back you’re sorely mistaken. And I don’t even have to know, well really anything about movie making to know this. And I’m very limited in this area.
The suit hasn’t changed in over fifty years??
Have you not seen scarlet spider for example..? Just sayin.
Food for thought: did you really want a 4th installment? Didn’t Raimi say he wanted vulturess in it? Blahhhh. Have fun with that movie.

Time? Money? effort?

[Majik1387]

Batman Forever was not a reboot.

 

[The Chris]

Just in response to the time thing, I don't think Batman Forever is considered a reboot considering it has some of the same actors and a slight reference in dialogue to Returns. I think it's considered a drastically different sequel. I'd do it like this. Batman Begins was the true reboot and that was 16 years after Batman 89, and 8 after Batman and Robin. Spidey 3D is 10 years after Spider-Man but only 5 after Spider-Man 3. I also have a feeling that Spider-Man 3 will be fresher in people's minds than B&R considering how much bigger the Spider-Man movies were.

 

[Wolvieboy17]

I'm sure this movie will be fantastic, because at least we can take solace in the fact that unlike Raimi, Webb won't put in any random, spontaneous dance sequences... Phew...

Oh crap.

 

[rowleyslims]

to be honest i have not put too much time into research on batman films instead i was annoyed by everyone sayin it was too soon for one and just happened to noticed the above statement. but thanks for the correction.t:

but your right about it being fresher. may be the main reason for the suit change? anyways the raimi trilogy was stale and besides he killed off pretty much the top villains. who wants a franchise of spiderman where villains die off on every movie. how could we ever get sinsiter6 in there?

i personally think noone is really goona even know who spiderman is in this movie. i think its goona be his early days of fighting crime without the fame. but then for movie two he "becomes" the spiderman we know and the suit changes respectively. i mean how many times have we heard that this will be spidey in his early days. just my opinion. and if im wrong who cares. its was only a speculation anyways, although it is fun to hope they're goona do it "your" way.

 

[rowleyslims]

so im at work and i cant watch youtube videos or even go on the site but im guessing this is the dance scene from (500)days of summer.
and if it is...
good comparison. wolvie youre a funny guy. and thats NOT sacrasm. haha

I'm sure this movie will be fantastic, because at least we can take solace in the fact that unlike Raimi, Webb won't put in any random, spontaneous dance sequences... Phew...
