The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Reboot Costume Part 4 - "What's that in his eye??" edition

[©KAW]

LMAO, comfortable shoes. I swear, it's like being in a beauty shop with fanboys. Hair, eyebrows, pants and comfortable shoes. Perhaps they should call the movie The Amazing Beautician-Man.

whats in his eye?

venom.

Not really. I am a fan of Spider-Man, but who looks more foolish? The guy willing to overlook something like silver lined boots, so that he can enjoy the content of the story, or the people with so much focus on a minor aspect, that they are having conniption fits and ruining the experience before the film is ever completed?

Also, utility and comfort is addressed in quite a few comic stories. Wolverine had surgical implants placed in his hands so that his claws could come out smoothly, without risking infection from the permanent opening. More importantly, it keeps him from having to tear his own flesh open each and every time he wants to defend himself, thus allowing him to comfortably wield his claws.

venom.

Nooooooooooooooooo

The problem, Alchemyst, is exactly the "you will never see in motion" idea.

I had no visual worries once I saw the costume for the Raimi movies. It was clearly a landmark in adapting superhero costumes.

If we need this last resource of "will never see it" it pretty much means "it's crap, but we won't see it".

I want it to be incredibly good, and to correct the writing mistakes of the previous trilogy.

I don't want a substitution of mistakes: now we have a great script, but a half bad costume.

PS: ok, so we disagree on the reasons why Nolan kept him cocealed. Of course he is a shadowy character, but why making such a detailed costume not to show it? I think Nolan noticed the problem.

I agree that the Raimi suit was indeed a landmark in comic book films, but the only thing Raimi did was add subtle changes to the webbing on the costume, and the eyes. It was a great suit hands down, if people dislike Webb's suit, they would have really been pissed if he used Raimi's. On Webb's end, it would have looked very lazy to use a suit that was made for the previous franchise. The changes he made to the suit were changes that he may have felt were necessary. I don't see any of the changes taking away from the character at all, Spider-Man is still gonna function the same way he always has.

Now, as far as Nolan, I don't think he kept Batman concealed to hide the suit. He did show the progression of the suit by Bruce Wayne telling Fox he needed something that was a little more durable than the previous, there were plenty of times where we seen the suit in large amounts of lighting. The action scenes took place primarily at night, the time when Batman is on the prowl, if we would have had lights and stuff all over the place, they might as well have gotten Schumacher to come back t:

It's perpostrous and these minor changes are only excuses for those were not in favor of the reboot to begin to thrawrt forward an argument.

Silver lined shoes, red stripes, and some blue fingers vs. a new vision of Spider-Man with a great cast, a great villain, a costume that has exact comic red and blue coloring, original web-shooters, black webbing on his costume.

It's really disheartening to see some people have no perspective on things and are stubborn in their narrow minded approach of thinking because of some silver lined SOLES that would help the guy walk and run without getting a nail in his damn foot.

I wouldn't say it's disheartening, alot of us may have picked up Spider-Man at different points in time as far as life. Some long time fans remember the days where Spider-Man had only one costume that looked a certain way, others interaction may have come at a time where Spider-Man's suit went through changes. Some people don't mind the changes, but some longtime fans of Spidey may see it as somebody defacing the character. This may be a possibility, but if the amount of backlash is because of the suit once after this releases, then they may go back to a more comic accurate suit in the sequel. But as for this current film, the suit is already set in stone. I'm giving the suit a chance because of the fact that I've already seen a Spider-Man suit that was close to the comic as you could possibly get, so I was satisified back in 02'. This is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so I've come to expect changes that were made to their appearance.

Despite how some of you feel about him, Chris Nolan raised the bar for comic book films. With him doing so, that gave inspiration to other directors out there who probably always optioned whether or not they wanted to take on a superhero. I think Chris Nolan showed that you can take something as crazy as a guy dressed in a Bat suit and craft a film around him that doesn't even come across as being too much like a comic book instead of a feature film. Captain America doesn't look exactly like the comic book version, but I'm sure his appearance will be justified once we see him in action. Iron Man was a no brainer because it was an armored suit, in the comics he had like 350,000,000,00 of them, pick one. Ghost Rider looked like Ghost Rider, Cage looked nothing like Blaze, so that was ass backwards. Blade looked pretty accurate despite not being one of Marvel's more popular characters out there. I think Spidey will be ok

 

[roach]

Movie Blade and Comics Blade were nothing alike

 

[Tacit Ronin]

"Believable" is more apt.

I would say "internal logic".

 

[Whiskey Tango]

'plausible'

 

[Doctor Jones]

Correct. Plausible is a better word to describe Nolan's Batman.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

Movie Blade and Comics Blade were nothing alike

Very true, lol. They look nothing alike as well.

 

[NinjaCarm]

Movie Blade and Comics Blade were nothing alike

And it had no effect whatsoever to how Blade turned out, which was pretty damn good.

 

[storyteller]

Look don't come to a thread talking about the costume and complain that people are fixated on the costume. Its the bloody costume thread. Want to talk about story or something take it into another thread.

anyway

I feel the internet needs to find better words. We hear realism and we think they director is trying to make it so the character must be 100% possible in the real world. So far when given the budget, this realism hasn't been seen too much. The comics have a habit of either not giving enough information or being way too convoluted do to a multidecade long story.

But honestly, you can have comfortable shoes either actor wise or story wise but take certain liberties but having visible silver shoes. But hey I still think the suits going to look awesome. In the long run I think this variant suit will help distinguish this movie for people. The last thing we need is 3 years from now, people bickering about which is Raimi and which is Webb.

I agree with this. It's stupid. And yet, those same people complaining about the SOLES, are also those who think Green Goblin looked "awesome!!!" in the past Spider-Man.

 

[roach]

please dont make this into a Raimi/Webb thing. Its not.

 

[chaseter]

Or the same people that love the new costume yet whined about raised silver webbing It doesn't get any dumber than that.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

please dont make this into a Raimi/Webb thing. Its not.

Sadly, that's what it's going to come to.

 

[roach]

but people's dislike of the silver slippers have nothing to do with loyalty to Raimi

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

^^ Well, apparently, that doesn't matter. They'll turn it into that, anyway.

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

And it had no effect whatsoever to how Blade turned out, which was pretty damn good.

That's true, though, Blade wasn't a powerhouse name to begin with.

 

[El Payaso]

but people's dislike of the silver slippers have nothing to do with loyalty to Raimi

I am known for disliking 2 out of 3 Raimi's spider-movies. I love the very notion of a reboot being made. Yet I dislike the new suit enormously.

 

[Oscorp]

please dont make this into a Raimi/Webb thing. Its not.

Not trying to, just comparing how people can praise one thing that's even more far away from the "classic" design of the character than this suit. Sure, it's a matter of taste. I just find it strange.

Or the same people that love the new costume yet whined about raised silver webbing It doesn't get any dumber than that.

I agree, that's equally stupid. Haven't seen much complaints about that though, more stuff like "I prefer black webbings over silver raised". Haven't seen such rage over that as with the silver soles.

but no one said anything about Green Goblin's costume. You are trying to create an arguement that doesnt exist. You are characterizing people who dont like the new suit as being Raimi fans. My dislike of the silver slippers has nothing to do with my love/hate of the Raimi films and everything to do with my love of Spiderman
