The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The Official TASM2 Costume Thread!!

Why the hell is the raised webbing back and why isn't it black?
And the chest spider and colors on ASM suit were a hell of a lot better.

Hopefully it's a change that stays in the concept drawing and not in delivery.

I like the new suit OK, but I'm with you. Like someone mentioned earlier, they should be moving away from the Raimi suit, not right back towards it.

The indented texture didn't show up as well. And, it's graphite color with a similar sheen. That helps it show depth.

Just look at how different the webbing is. In the notch in his throat, the webbing on the new suit changes from four wide, to two. On the Raimi suit, there is a straight line to the armpit, not so on the new suit. On the new one, there's a circle between his eyes where the webs intersect, yet it's a single point to on Raimi's. Also, the webs are much closer together on the new one and spaced other much more on the old one. Just too many changes.

And one my daughter pointed out. In the new pic, you can tell the body is much leaner. You can see the bump caused by his collar bone. That's not a prominent feature on Tobey.

It looks like Spider-Man and it looks good, it's not identical to Raimi's no but to me this looks more like a natural progression of that suit than the suit from ASM. I was disappointed by it, but i'm not going as far as saying it will make the movie terrible or some of the ridiculous hyperbole that was spouted when the ASM suit was revealed, but i would have preferred for this sequel that suit was closer to the one we had in ASM. I actually got quite frustrated at the critcism of the ASM suit so the last thing i want to be is that person, i just think that maybe they have changed too much too fast and upon first impression it's closer to Raimi than Webb.

The changes are as drastic IMO as they were from S-M3 to ASM.

The webbing is totally silver again.

Odd, some posters are okay with silver webbing on the suit that's always in view but hated silver soles that were barely seen.

It's not silver. It's the same color as the spider. It's just reflecting the light.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

They want to go with a classic suit, what is the problem with that? They had to differentiate the suit in TASM. Now that that is out of the way they want to go back to a classic style. I see no fault in this.

And what is this next step you people keep talking about? This is the CLASSIC suit. There is no next step unless you want him dressing up in a completely different suit, which a lot of people here clearly didn't want. Now all of a sudden you guys come out of the wood works talking about he's going backwards. Unbelievable.


I'm not saying they're a part of the classic suit, I'm saying they are elements that work to pronounce the design in a live action film while being faithful to the classic design. You can't tell what kind of texture is being used in the comics most of the time because they are smooth coloring, so that issue is moot all together. Meanwhile, you are wrong about the pattern of the webbing. It is exactly the same as the comics, or at least Mark Bagely's interpretation of the design, just look at the pic I posted. Even the spider logo is exactly the same as the one in the comics.

And no, it is not just a slightly modified Raimi suit. It is a suit based on the classic design that combines elements of both TASM and Raimi's suits. It's asinine and a complete farce to demean this as a slightly modified Raimi suit basically because it is using the classic design.

I am not talking about the pattern of the webbing. I am talking about the little bricks on the red and blue parts of the suit.

The raised webbing and pattern makes the idea that it isn't a modified version of Raimi's suit completely ridiculous imo. They have only one source, and that isn't the comics. It is the Raimi suit.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

It's just so clear to me that this suit blows the first out of the water.

Why the hell is the raised webbing back and why isn't it black?

But... the webbing is bl--- **** it, I give up. You'll see.

 

[MessiahDecoy123]

Just breezed through the last couple of pages and I can't believe some people are complaining.

Unbelievable.

 

[Majik1387]

The spider is silver. A dark silver, but it is not black. And they should've kept the ASM spider; looks less tacked on.

 

[DarthSkywalker]

It's just so clear to me that this suit blows the first out of the water.



But... the webbing is bl--- **** it, I give up. You'll see.

Why is the webbing shiny again is the real question. Whether it is black or not, it won't matter with all the shine.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

I think this is all about the raised webbing, imo. If it wasn't raised, I don't think as many people would be comparing it to the Raimi suit.

They also screwed with the colors, which were pretty much something even the haters of ASM's suit liked better.

 

[Mr. Dent]

Seriously people. Seriously. You keep saying there are elements of that suit in the new one and they look nothing alike. Post the Raimi suit, instant connection.

They are clearly using more vibrant colors than the Raimi suit, which is a cue taken from TASM. They are not AS vibrant as the latter, but they are still more vibrant than Raimi's. The look of the suit is also obviously sleeker than Raimi's which you can tell just by putting the two of them together.

The pressed, sleek lining is a cue from TASM. And finally, of course the suit is going to have more in common with Raimi's because Raimi's was the classic design. You're criticizing the suit for being more like Raimi's yet ignoring the fact that Raimi's was the suit closest to the classic design. Quit gerrymandering the design because you want to complain, essentially, about slightly raised webbing.

 

[DirtyHarry]

Am I the only one who starts to think that maybe this new suit is designed not only to look more heroic and classic, but maybe also to fit into the Marvel Universe alongside those other heroes? All this "Think bigger!", the more heroic and lighter vibe this new picture gives me, Andrew reading Avengers comics feat. Thanos etc. makes me feel this.

[DarthSkywalker]

Because the raised webbing was the major part of the Raimi suit, and you can't find that in the "classic" suit.

I'm just reserving judgment on how close it resembles the previous versions until I see the rest of it. If you look up some of Webb's concept art, there are a few designs that look traditional from this angle yet, are totally different.

 

[spider-neil]

Unfortunately I need to head out and go to my job interview right now. When I come back in a couple of hours, I'm digging up pictures.

Good luck

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

They also screwed with the colors, which were pretty much something even the haters of ASM's suit liked better.

Agreed. I really liked the TASM colors. This is almost too overly bright/vibrant.

 

[Rise_-]

Just a quick Photoshop job. To work out how it'll look straight on. Keeps the angular look and how it wraps around his body from the first suit, which is nice.

Anybody notice that the webbing follows the same shape and still, is essentially straight lines? :P

The lines are curved on the mask though, ever so slightly.

 

[ThePowerCosmic]

That Spider is BLACK.

BLACK.

BLACK.

BLACK.

BLACK.

I don't know, maybe it won't have all of that shine in the movie.

 

[Mr. Dent]

I am not talking about the pattern of the webbing. I am talking about the little bricks on the red and blue parts of the suit.

Then you're talking about the texture which I already addressed as a moot point of contention.

The raised webbing and pattern makes the idea that it isn't a modified version of Raimi's suit completely ridiculous imo. They have only one source, and that isn't the comics. It is the Raimi suit.

So what? I already explained that the raised webbing is a good technique to pronounce the design on live action. They're taking Raimi's raised webbing and making it sleeker like in TASM. They are taking cues from both designs and using what they learned from both to make a better suit, there is absolutely nothing wrong with that.

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

Damn, Marc Webb has this place in a frenzy! Well played, Mr. Webb, well played....

 

[Majik1387]

Agreed. I really liked the TASM colors. This is almost too overly bright/vibrant.

I would say it's less vibrant, they brightened the red though, and dulled the blue. Major downgrade.

That Spider is BLACK.

BLACK.

BLACK.

BLACK.

BLACK.

You need to have your eyes checked, as it clearly isn't black. It is distinctly a dark silver/gun metal gray.

You do realize that the more vibrant suit in those pics are Raimi's right? The new suit looks more like the Raimi colors.

Look.

The suit reminds me of this:

 

[Kryptonian Warrior]

It's amazing just how many shades of red and black there are.
