It's funny, but weren't we essentially saying a couple of days ago "it would be nice if they got rid of all that crap"? lol

Yeah we were. Which makes it all the more sweeter.

Someone was even telling me that the chances of them scrapping the whole TASM suit would be highly unlikely and look where we are now.

Maybe it's also a show of Peter's preference. What if Peter wanted a costume he liked instead of a suit?(In context opinion, of course) If I were him, I wouldn't just want a suit, I would want something I could like to wear. Batman was all about function and not fashion.

Thing is though, Peter could have designed the suit any way he wanted to in TASM. He could've designed it to be more in line with the suit they're using in this film but he DIDN'T. He designed it to be both visually and practically logical (while still maintaining the important Spider-Man elements of course). Even if they decide to have Pete prefer LOOKS over FUNCTION, then that's a horribly mistake.....because good design always follows FUNCTION! The logic behind the design is a more important than making it look good, because you can always tweak the design based on it's function.

that´s why im scared , i hope the suit is still as flexible as TASM´s ,the suit in the first looked flexible and very functional maybe because was manufactured by Cique du soleil , idk
But i hope Spidey still moves very easily and Kym Barret(the designer) made the suit to be functional for the stuntman too

I always thought Peter based his design off those pictures he saw online in the montage scene. The scene actually really supports your opinion, as he was learning about velocity and such. They might have some sort of excuse for the new one that doesn't have to do with design.

And the front spider. And the same material in the blue as TASM, and the way the red bends on the arms. It's a more "professional" version of the other suit. Like the first suit he made with what he could, and this one he actually invested in, since the whole superhero thing is taking off. A better more secure material, a little cleaner, hard boots to protect his feet ether than the bottom of shoes.

The front spider is not nearly the same as TASM, so stop telling yourself that. It looks like the Raimi spider but with longer legs.

EDIT: nevermind, I lied. But the front spider is certainly not the same.

I love how the new suit is going back to the more classic look, i just hate how dark they have made it. Would have preferred it to be as bright as the ASM suit

 

[AF3619]

i miss the fragmented and awesome symbol already

Another great and unique change, that didn't survive the transition into TASM2.

just hope the back symbol is the same

 

[Jexx]

I have to say that I like the TASM2 suit more than Raimi's suit and the same as TASM's suit, at least with that comparison pic up there.

I don't like how they didn't keep the segmented gloves or the asics though. (I hope that the new boots at least have a sneaker design on the bottom instead of a flat sandle-like design)

 

[Joe_Kickass]

Oh yeah, because you could totally notice it on film lol
the shoes, the fragmented spider, the gloves, most of that stuff was barely even noticible in the movie, they were only noticible in the set pics and official pics.

sorry to dissapoint you...again

 

[Jexx]

I notice things like the shoes and the gloves all the time. Whenever I watch the Raimi films and see the flat rubber-y shoes and the gloves with the rings wrapped around the fingers I cringe.

Spoiler

Man, the shots used for this comparison make Raimi's suits look like they're made out of wax.

Saw this picture already. Can't see the bottom of the shoes. How do I know there is no sneaker design?

because see the bottom of the asics: the doesn´t look like those

 

[Jexx]

..He could be using different shoes? o.o

 

[AF3619]

probably , i honestly wanted to buy those asics just because of the suit,still do

The suit is basically the Raimi suit with tweaks, I'm sure the soles are flat. As a guy bitten by a genetically engineered Spider, he doesn't really need any support for his feet. He's got super strength and thick skin.

great visual comparison.

The new costume is definitely my favorite. My one wish is that they had kept the more vibrant colors (specifically red) from TASM suit.

By the way, someone asked about Andrew's irritations with the old suit yesterday and I stumbled upon this by accident from The Ellen Show:

Ellen: Was there anything under that suit? It's so skin tight it seems you would see lines of underwear or something like that. Is there anything under there? Nothing under there?

Andrew: It's just me.

Ellen: Did you feel naked?

Andrew: Yeah, It's the worst. It's made of something that is designed to make you irritated.

There's a higher res photo somewhere in this thread that shows that the red of the new costume isn't as purpleish as in the first official image, the actual suit is much brighter, and will probably look even brighter on film.

the new boots just look rather impractical? and bulky. oh well.
