Why mess with the origional?

The movie symbiote will attach itself to the old costume. It only makes sense that it would take on a similar form.

In the comics, there was no raised webbing, hence the smooth look.

I posted this in another thread but here it goes again:

The only reason the suit looks like it does in the comics is because when Spidey was fighting in the Secret Wars, he loved the new costume of Spider-Woman. She wore a new black costume. Not a symbiote, she just wore a regular black costume that Spidey loved. When he found the symbiote, it read his mind and made the costume look like Spider-Woman's. That's the reason it's black. The symbiote can look like anything, it happened to be black because simply because Spidy loved the costume Spider-Woman was wearing.

Guess what, there is no secret wars and no Spider-Woman in the movie. There is no reason for the movie black costume to look like it does in the comics. Since there is no back story like the comics, Sam Raimi had to come up with something else. On could theorize that there is no reson at all for the costume to be black, it could look just like his normal costume. But everyone would go ape if it was just his normal costume. Sam made it black and look like the regular costume. A good compromise.

Then why would Spidey wear a black suit in the first place.

You know, when people complained about the webshooters thing... They had the excuse it was "iconic"... If anyone tries to tell me the black suit is iconic, well, we have to assume the Spidey-buggy is iconic and the clone saga is iconic and..

In the film? Cause of the symbiote....

Because the symbiote is black. Simple.

There was actually some reasoning behind the webshooters, though I disagree, this costume change is without reason.

Didn't matthooper just explain it?

It's a compromise. You have a comic style symbiote with Secret Wars origin and they compromised and made his regular suit black. I just don'r see a problem.

They wanted the black symbiote but couldn't have it look like it did in the comics. First it will look cooler with the regular spider costume. Do you have any idea how rediculous it would look on screen if he wore an all black spandex leotard. Second, it makes absolutely no sense whatsoever that the costume would be all black.

So is he the official source now, or what?

Do you read any previous posts before you post yourself?

What are you talking about? I simply gave the comic symbiote origin, and why it wouldn't be all black in the film.

It was a joke.

ok, no prob here. My bad.

Greed.

Greed is only wrong when you're not apart of receiving end of the money.

I understand that there is no Spider-Woman, if you recall in the first movie, there is a design Peter drew that looks similiar to Venom, why not just have Pete think of that when the suit covers him?

Just like a Red and Blue costume would look rediculous?

That suit was a silly idea Peter threw away fast, that suit had a cape, for Chrissakes.

Not even a massive geek Spider-Man film fan like me would remember that. Plus, those were failed attempts at a costume. Why in the world would he think of that?

Plus, like I said, does anyone realize how stupid an all black leotard would look.

Why not have him think of any of his designs? Anything will do, so long as the costue takes shape of the symbiote suit from the comics.

I don't know, I guess because that would be rediculous.

Well, anyway, if we just think about it logically, the symbiote doesn´t really care how Peter looks... It wants to possess him, to take control of him and his powers. It probably amplifies his powers, that´s why Peter´s interested. Because the entity is black, it covers his costume and makes it dark. So there isn´t any reason why it would erase the webbing and give him a big white spider.

First, you must have alzheimers. j/k

Why would he think of that? Alright, maybe the suit gives him an evil feeling, maybe when he designed that costume he was thinking about how pissed off and bitter he was at the world. Hmm?

You say an all black leotard would look stupid, but, why would it have to be a leotard? Also, is that what you said about the Blue and Red costume?

Because not everybody thinks "anything will do" just to make something look like in the comics. Me, I couldn´t care less for the black suit from the comics.

 

[Arcturus]

I see no real reason why the original black suit couldn't work. Don't get me wrong, I like the movie version as well, but I think the black suit from the comics could work.

At that point, he wasn´t pissed off and bitter. He was excited with his powers, the perspective of getting money and impressing Mary Jane. He just didn´t like the design. Neither did the rest of us.
