[Mr. Dent]

I still can't get over how so many people were complaining about the suit when it was first shown.

 

[VenomSpawn]

I complained because I loved the TASM costume exactly as it was and didn't like that they scrapped it entirely for this new suit. But I got over it.

In a perfect world, yes, that would be the case. But in large tent pole films and franchises such as this, the studio has control - the directer is a hired gun, paid to make the movie that the studio wants to be made, and the producers are the mouth piece for the studio (and most times, the movie is the producer's idea, they are the ones who want to make it, and they are the ones who convince the studio to fund it; they are the ones who commission the script, hire a director, etc). In the chain of command, it is the Studio, then the Producers, and THEN the director.

Studios give creative freedom to the director only as they see fit because money is the name of the game, and studios do NOT want to risk losing their money by letting directors do what they please. It takes a VERY good director with an extremely good and proven track record to get more control over the film they're making.

You underestimate the power director's have over their projects. At any rate, by the time of SM3, Raimi wasn't a hired gun. Sure, Sony/Arad may have pushed for Venom, but the overall mishandling of the film falls on Raimi's shoulders.

Actually, no I'm not. And as far as Raimi goes, it's been reported multiple times (with quotes directly from Raimi) that he had less control over SM3 than any of the previous films - he jad the most creative freedom over SM2.

the spider-man 3 thread is thattaway, man!

thanks, kid!

 

[mayo23]

And I'm just sitting here waiting for all of those "Spider-man's a *****e bag" comments.

 

[Repulsor Blast]

it is odd seeing spider-man walking in general, i will say.

[Nathan]

Andrew must be fully aware that he is providing meme material.

 

[Mr. Dent]

Man the more I look at that suit...it's just a love letter to Steve Ditko and the Romita's. You put it up to a classic Spidey pic and it's like it jumped out the comic panel.

I love how from certain angels they have the rounded look from Romita Jr's drawings and from other angles it has the cylinder look of Romita Sr and Ditko.

All we need is the tick dammit.

Hahahahaha!!

Yep. But, I still haven't gotten over it myself, though. I find the change a bit unnecessary when the first suit was just fine.

 

[eLPAtitoyUPI]

Damn, I just saw the new set video, and that, along the rhino underwear, looks campy as ****.

I think it's mainly because it's in the middle of the day, so maybe the colours and stuff will get fixed in post-production.

Such a strange feeling, but I believe in Marc Webb :P

 

[Oscorp]

So...Rhys Ifans...speaks the truth, aye?

 

[Tim_Riggins]

It looks awesome and hilarious, dont see the problem with it. This movie will shut up the haters, I can feel it and I believe in it 100 % (but hey I love TASM)

Those who keep mocking the movie will be annihilated

More seriously, I really believe Webb is going to show the goods big time, TASM is his second movie, now that he's been in this world and knows how it works, and that he has seen all the feedback, he knows what to do.

 

[Oscorp]

I hope Ian's friendship with Andrew isn't negatively affected by this :/

 

[Gianakin_]

No movie will ever not have haters. The sooner people accept this, the less some boards will be obnoxious.

 

[TheWallCrawler]

So...Rhys Ifans...speaks the truth, aye?

We don't know that yet. Maybe Chris Cooper is a fake Norman Osborn while the real Norman (Massee) is fighting with his sickness. Of course Harry would be fully aware of this, but not aware of Norman's criminal activities

 

[TheWallCrawler]

I hope Ian's friendship with Andrew isn't negatively affected by this :/

damn I almost forgot that :/ yeah I hope that isn't ruined

 

[Oscorp]

I think Andrew is a cool guy. He'll probably get annoyed that Ian couldn't hold it to himself but at the same time I think Andrew understands how excited he got and how hard it is to not geek out and wanting to tell some people.

 

[Ultra Nolanite]

I've never NOT wanted to be I An Legend as much as right now.
