But that doesn't really explain why they had to depart from the comic book version's blueprint. Use a different texture, black webbing, different eyes, and/or different spider symbols will make for a costume that looks like the classic Spider-Man, but won't be confused with the James Acheson designs.
They haven't greatly departed from it, contrary to popular belief.
Basic layout of red and blue body suit? Mhm.
Angular eyes? Oh yes!
Urm, "web" designs on the suit? Kind of, yes.
Spider symbols on front and back? Yessirr!
When I have time, I'll try to Photoshop up a suit design fitting some of your guidelines. (different eyes, black webbing)
But I can guarantee it will still look strikingly similar to the Raimi suit.
It looks bad to me. Like they're trying to fix something that isn't
That's your opinion and is something that's entirely subjective. It doesn't look "bad" or "broken" or anything to me. I love this suit as it (to me) looks like a perfect modern/high-tech adaption of the classic design. I love the Raimi suit for its faithfulness to the source material without looking like a goddamn crappy cosplay costume.
This argument is total ********. This suit looks just as expensively made as the suits in the Raimi films. Also, traditionally, Peter doesn't have very thick soles on the costume's feet, because he wouldn't be able to adhere to a surface through normal shoes. For example, he had to carry his shoes to his wedding to Mary Jane in Amazing Spider-Man Annual #21 for precisely this reason.

Look at the studs on the shoes. There aren't that many studs on the shoe/s and there is a far more "empty" surface area. Seems sufficient to enable Spidey's wall crawling ability to work properly.
Isn't Spider-Man's wallcrawing ability a form of bio-electricity or something? If that's what they're going with, a shoe with a sole that's about a centimeter thick will not impede his ability.
