Simple enough question-which design do you prefer? Maguire's?

Or Garfield's?

I like Tobey's better, but I have no problem with Garfield's costume.
 
Definitely Maguires suit. I like the new suit, but there are things about it I'm not fond of. So no questions asked, the Maguire suit.


It's THE Spider-Man suit.

How? We have quite a few pictures of the new suit so far to compare the two.
 
A couple of still photos don't fully convey how the suit will look during the film.

The only time I've ever felt a costume looked better in motion was after seeing the Captain America trailer. Typically a still tells you everything you need to know about a costume.
 
I like the new suit, but the silver shoes and stripe on the leg are the biggest problems. Naturally, the Raimi suit is better, though. That's not to say it's perfect. The colors are very diluted (my biggest problem) and I'm not a fan of the material used for the webbing. Those complaints are minor however when you put the full suit into play.

I just wish they had an actor with Garfield's physique for the Raimi films. The muscle suit really ruins Spider-Man. He just looks too big. In fact, that may be what ruins my love for the suit so much. It's the best of the two, sure, but I can never quite 'love it' like some of you. That may be because the man under the suit is pretty big compared to Spidey in the comics. If someone could make a great manip of the Raimi suit with Garfield's physique, I would die.

Still, when it comes down to which one's better, it's the Raimi suit.

The Ditko-era physique is a thing of the past. And you make it sound like they had him at Captain America proportions. I think it was just right, and pretty consistent with the comics.

As someone else once said. It's like Romita Sr. vs Romita Jr. (Sr.=Raimi, Jr.=Webb)

I personally feel he was WAY too big. I know you say it's perfect but I hate it. I have no idea why, but whenever I look at a still from the movie I just want to rip that muscle suit away.
 
I prefer the texture on Webb's suit, as well as the non-raised webbing and the usage of webshooters and the whole idea of the simple-like shooters as well.

The only thing Raimi's suit has right is how it's closely adapted to Spidey's normal blues and reds. That's really about it that Raimi accomplished, imo.
 
Maguire's suit is better in:

  • Red & blue distribution
  • Web forms
  • Logos


Garfield's suit is better in:

  • Colors in movie
  • Mask lenses shape
  • Webbing color being black and not raised
 
Garfield's suit is distinctively better, but fanboys are gonna vote Maguire's suit due to their hard on for the Raimi movies. :csad:
 
The new reboot costume is one of the ugliest comic book movie costumes out there.

Maguire's for sure.
 
The raised webbing is a very minor thing overall.

With the reboot costume having BLACK webbing and WEBSHOOTERS, I would think that would more be classic Spidey than Raimi's version that didn't have those two and the design itself of the suit would just be a very minor thing overall.

Lol.
 
I prefer Acheson's design for the Raimi Spider-Man films. It's a very good adaptation of the comic book costume, and, in some ways (like the back spider-logo) it even improved on the comics.

The new costume doesn't have webs, it has lines.

Raimi's has raised webbing and organic shooters.

Webb's has a red stripes on the legs, motorcycle gloves, weird boots with only half webs, silver on the feet, and no belt.
