The Amazing Spider-Man Spider-Man Reboot Costume Part 4 - "What's that in his eye??" - Part 6

[Immortalfire]

All I saw were weblines on the suit. I never made any particular observation that they were "raised"...but I doubt it would have mattered to me if I had, lol

A suit doesn't need to look pretty, lol.

You think Nolan said, "I need to make Batman's new suit pretty."

Black webbing can stand out just as much, imo. Just like the picture on this page, that can look nice in sunlight or not.

This is Spider-Man, not Batman. He's supposed to look eye-catching and stylish.

And that's where I don't get why he should be. Webb's suit may not be pretty to the eye, but I like the idea of someone making a suit that is fundamental, not just to look gorgeous to the eye.

What do mean by "a suit that is fundamental"?

 

[Wolvieboy17]

Fundamentally what?

Actually, I think that when this suit is not all dirtied up, it does look pretty damn good.

Spoiler

It's just not overtly-flashy. lol

Fundamentally what?

What a common teen ager would design for himself

Fundamental for him moving, using his webshooters and what not.

It doesn't look flashy as in Raimi's and just works as a good suit to move in. Raimi's was all about flash and substance.

Then why the hell bother with a special costume in the first place?

 

[Anno_Domini]

I'm just saying Webb's suit isn't "pretty", but it makes more sense with the way it is.

Again, if the suit isn't going to look pretty, then you might as well not bother giving him a superhero costume at all.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Having your suit being a symbol means just a little something instead of looking pretty.

Imo, Spider-Man's suit is a sign of symbol and hope, but it doesn't HAVE to be something pretty.

The Batsuit is a symbol of fear. The Superman suit is a symbol of hope. Spider-Man's costume just looks pretty.

 

[Anno_Domini]

And that idea is dumb.

I will never think Spidey just made his costume to look pretty.

 

[Godzilla2014]

Literally, the costume was designed for show business. It's not a symbol.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Well, good thing Webb has the smarter idea of not making the suit just to be pretty in the reboot.

Because....that's dumb. That's something Booster Gold would do, but it shouldn't be why Spider-Man made his suit.

Agreed 100%

Really, Spider-Man is, within the context of his own universe, an unremarkable superhero. He's not a symbol of anything, nor does he intend to be. He's just a guy trying to be responsible with his powers.

Thank you

He's more than just someone trying to be responsible with his powers. I mean, he even tried to teach kids in Spider-Man 2 with not crossing the streets. He's meant to be a symbol for everyone and even a strong role model of sorts for kids. He's much, much more than just an unremarkable superhero.

Exactly. He may be portrayed as unremarkable and a menace by the media (The Daily Bugle) but Spider-Man is a hero, role-model and sometimes mentor and personal life saver.

A role model? Yes. A symbol? No. That's Captain America. Spider-Man is full of the superhero cliches without justification. That's part of the tongue-in-cheek nature of the character. He lives in the absurd, and he knows it. That's why he cracks wise, mocking the various supervillains he fights. It's a part of the character.

He's a hero, but one amongst hundreds. It's a part of the everyman nature of the character.

 

[Anno_Domini]

Because he wise cracks with the villains, that doesn't make him a symbol of hope and doing the right thing? Spider-Man is a lighter hero than Batman, but still try to help the "little man" against the evils of this world. ANY superhero can be a symbol of hope because they're out there saving lives.

But he's not symbolic in nature. Spider-Man lives in an absurd world. That's what makes the character fun to read and watch.
If he really wanted to "do the right thing", why isn't he a cop?
