The Amazing Spider-Man 2 The one, the only SPIDEY Costume thread!

Part of me feels that marketing was taken into consideration when they decided to go closer to Raimi suit this time.

After watching it in action
10/10 for this costume
No problem with that minor nitpick or another I may have with it, it's gone

Just out of pure curiosity, what were your nitpicks?

The small hole above the spider on the back similar to the one in the first ASM costume
And the McFarlane belt

Gotcha. My nitpicks, if I were to have any, would be the belt. And the Spider logo on the front sitting slightly higher on the chest.

if they change anything for future movies, i would maybe give the suit muscle shading.

also, this is just incredibly nostalgic:

Spoiler

if they can find a way to have the new eyes (which look perfect) without the need for the facial shell under the mask (which makes spidey's head look bigger), then i'd be all for that as well.

at first i was hoping one day they'd incorporate that bug, but it reminds me of ticks

I have never read the comics of Spider-Man but I have seen many pics from various sites and am glad that they decided to go with the classic costume for this movie. Love those eyes!

 

[Spider-Aziz]

I suggest Ultimate Spider-Man for you, easy to follow and a great read
But be warned from now, it has the annoying thing of villains seeing Peter's face

 

[The Shape]

The new suit is...awesome. Perfect as is.

My only nitpick is that I would have liked it if they had come up with a way to incorporate the gloves from TASM suit into this classic look. The gloves in TASM are one of the re-design elements that I thought looked really cool.

I second this. Ultimate Spider-Man is a one of a kind. Plus, you'll see a lot of sinilarities watching these movies.

USM and TSSM are without a doubt the heaviest influences on Webb's Spidey.

The idea interests me

by muscle shading do you mean this

as compared to this

i thought it was supposed to happen naturally, and garfield just ain't cut enough yet for the muscles to show

unless it is an actual suit. is it?

I think the reason why whoever is in the suit looks thin is because this may be the first time I remember a super hero costume not having a muscle layer underneath. What you see is really their bodies. And of course, not everyone is gonna be as built as Henry Cavill so they're gonna look thin w/o a muscle layer. (Not to mention Spidey shouldn't be portrayed that muscular imo)

But the muscle shading does make a difference. I showed a picture of the new suit to a coworker and he said, "geez he looks so wussy." And I showed him a picture of the TASM suit (keep in mind they were both Garfield inside), and he said, "see! At least he looks built there!" But that's only because TASM suit had the shading. I'm not sure if he realized that haha.

[OcStat]

they do look like seams.

yeah I also though the design of the webbing in the second costume may be raised webbing like Raimi's version is but the design of the webbing itself matches the first Webb costume webbing(well at least the upper half of the webbing) to me. It looks like a perfect meld of Mark Bagley ultimate Spider-man costume, the Raimi suit and the first ASM Costume.

If you look closely you'll see the original Webb suits webbing is just straight lines in a grid. Took me a while to notice, but it definitely knocks it down a few pegs. And the curvature of the lines is kind of funky if you can find a good shot and get a good look at how they flow across the mask. The new suit (and Raimi's) have that classic web pattern.

And I always liked the raised webbing, and the way it goes from black to silver when it catches the light, like the way a real web shimmers when it does so. Glad they brought that back.

 

[ParkerPeters]

Can I just say I love the costume, but it came right as I started LOVING the TASM costume.

Why can't I be happy ;_;

 

[Repulsor Blast]

yeah, by muscle shading i meant ala the first amazing spider-man suit. i would be really keen to see what this new suit looked like with it. i don't want padding underneath or anything.

Well it's definitely raised webbing but more discrete and black. And yeah the webbing pattern is similar, as it's more grid-like below the mask. So they kept certain subtleties from the previous movie for sure.

 

[Airnick]

Wow the eyes in TASM look so small now compared to the new ones.

 

[XtremelyBaneful]

(Spidey shouldn't be portrayed that muscular imo)

why not? I think it's perfectly fine, if not better. If he's like that in the comics every now and then by all means he can be like that in the films too

so it didn't have anything to do with the comparison in the the pictures i posted? because honestly, I don't see a difference in shading between the asm1 and asm2 costumes...

Right. Some people dig that. But they already attempted that body type with the Raimi series. Bring on the youthful, lanky Spidey which we have now.

Couldn't have said it any better.
