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

[Venom75]

Truthfully,the suit has grown on me,but I still wanna see how it looks in action. But,honestly,Raimi's suit was perfection for me.

Superman Returns had no issues with it...20 minutes of footage were converted into 3-D in post production for IMAX 3-D theaters.

Papa Smurf doesnt seem to have any issues in the upcoming 3D Smurf movie

Well said.

 

[Spiderman6592]

That is not even comparable to the issue they run into with the Spider-Man suit.

Papa Smurf is computer generated.

Your arguments are invalid. I'm not saying I'm right, I'm saying it's a probability. I don't get why there's this need to prove me wrong. It's almost like you want them to have no reason to change the suit.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I think that there would be a problem with the colors and the 3D if they were using the old Anaglyph 3D technology.

 

[NinjaCarm]

Facepalm.

Exactly.

 

[wobbly]

I don't get how the doubtful idea modern 3D cameras have an issue with Red & Blue justifies the costume changes?

Assuming the colors are somehow an issue, they are still there. The suit is still almost entirely red & blue.

The biggest changes, the leg stripes, no front belt, and silver trim boots, do nothing to alleviate any possible problem caused by the colors.

Sorry, I think that idea's a non starter.

When I first saw the Batman Begins costume not in action just pictures... I was like "WTF is that garbage!!!"

Then I saw Batman Begins.

And the rest is history.

Get over the costume folks. It's really cool, not the original, but cool. And the movie itself is what counts.

yay talking down to people...that always works

You have so much to learn about superhero fanbases. They'll never stop. Not now, not when the trailer and then the film is released, and not in 10 years.

Overall, you make a good point.

SR is a decent enough film but the 'supposed red' in Superman's costume greatly saddens me. Like the SR pic just a few posts up, someone please take it away! So so wrong!!!

Many people love TDK but still have problems with the suit. It will be the same thing with this movie. Raimi just got the classic suit so right that the suit in this film was clearly just the product of wanting to do something different. I do like it though.

Bad decisions with the costume are usually a symptom of more bad decision making in other areas, like for instance, the story, characters, etc. The costume matters. You wouldn't cast an overweight actor with a bald spot for the role of Superman would you? There are certain expectations that have to be met. Using your logic, the aforementioned actor would be perfectly fine because the film is the only thing that matters. It's not. You think if Andrew Garfield was cast to play Superman that it wouldn't matter? What about if they made the costume black instead of red and blue? Cmon, use common sense.

They did that with Batman, TWICE (Burton/Nolan), and no cared to the tune of 1 Billion dollars worldwide. Batman suit was change about 99% (compare to Amazing's 15% costume change) from his original and classic BLUE/GRAY 70 year old suit, and no one gave a damn when it was time to pour into the theaters. Now he's sitting on the best comic book movie to date and the most successful single comic book film in history. The movie itself matters most (The Dark Knight proves this), Spider-Man has the classic suit in Spider-Man 3, but it couldn't save the film from being a piece flammable sh--!

 

[Sarg92]

With current 3D technology, shooting the film in 3D has no impact on colours. So the red/blue costume has not been changed to accommodate for 3D, that is just wrong. The only thing that probably would have changed is that the costume would have been made to look quite bright but when viewed through 3D glasses it would appear the correct colour as the glasses darken the picture.

Oh so Kevin James could have been cast as Batman wearing purple spandex and the movie would have been just as good as long as Nolan's script and direction was the same. Okay.

We're talking about the costume not the casting? My point is we have a Batman movie that's the best comic book film to date (based on the majority of fanboys and critics), and his suit was change 99% from the original/classic 70 year old suit.

Trust me, I'd rather have the classic suit, but based on my dislike of all three Spider-Man films, the suit was damn-near the only good thing in those films.

 

[roach]

so the suit doesnt matter...since TDK made money with a non faithful suit and Spider-man made money with a faithful suit....

 

[©KAW]

You tell me. It certainly doesn't matter to the general audience, they seem to be showing up regardless of the suit changes.

I sort of thought that's it. So, they changed the suit...for nothing?

 

[stickboltman]

I doubt they changed the suit for nothing. This is a different series from Raimi's, so they are going to want to differentiate it in several ways: most obvious being the costume. Yes it's not completely faithful but I love the colors on it.

It seems to be designed to fit Andrew. The long spiders? The stripes? It looks like it's highlighting his slim nature. Further more it's the first movie and his first real costume. Who's to say it won't change again for a sequel? With perhaps a belt and no leg stripes and no silver boots. Yes they could have added those things now, but they have some leg room to experiment. Still this costume is a lot more faithful than most of the other comic book movie's costumes. (Daredevil, Batman, even some of Watchmen, X-Men, etc, etc)

 

[Spider-ManHero12]

The suit could have been different by using this texture as well as changing the spider and eyes slightly. It could have been faithful and different at the same time. oh well, I guess.

Evolve? No, I highly doubt that. Spider-Man isn't batman. He doesn't re-design his suits every once in a while. He may fix things and and add different stuff to his web-shooters and such, but he wouldn't re-design his suit multiple times. Will it happen in this new weries? Maye, but I don't think it will.

I wouldn't rule out the suit evolving in sequels. IMO the ASM suit was given a different design to help people realise this is a reboot, that it isnt spider-man 4. Once the first movie is done with and everyone knows this is a new spider-man, it'll be much easier for the film makers to lean back towards a more comic book accurate design.
