First Look: Andrew Garfield in Spider-Man Costume

Perhaps, the film-makers will come-up with a clever origin for the suit, like the wrestler agent getting it made for Peter, or Peter, while researching Super-hero suits, joins a "cosplay" forum (Since Cosplay is BIG with KIDS/Movie audience) and gathers certain costuming knowledge combined with his new-found Spider-knowledge. The origins of that fancy suit could be justified, but it has to be addressed, and not left unexplained as with the first 3 films. Having a design background, this has always bothered me.

Those are two good ideas. they make perfect sense and hopefully something like this will be incorporated into the film.

My point is people who stand out academically, scientifically, technologically, mathematically, etc, lack any sense of artistic expression, or artistic talent to design and create a Spider-man suit as seen in the first 3 films (sans the Symbiote suit because it's an alien) and this new film. Now, Bill gates and Steve Jobs can hire people to solve the problem, but it'd be other people, not them, taking care of the problem. Bruce Wayne can afford to produce his own tech, and so can Tony Stark. On the other hand, Peter Parker is a broke high school punk, intellectually inclined to science and his academic courses...with absolutely zero knowledge, or interest, in style. Designing and creating a suit, like that, requires advance design skills, and a developed sense of style, which can only be gathered through years of forging talent with training.

That's true as well but instead of thinking of the programmer type of guy, I'm thinking in terms of more hands-on types of scientific or maybe engineering types. Seems they're always coming up with some pretty wild stuff, often outside of the fields of their specialty.

As for the visual design component, you got me on that one (I'm a designer too so I definitely see your point there.) Raimi explored that a little bit in the first movie by having Peter sketch some ideas (which of course was parodied incredibly well by Jack Black) and then of course he shows up to the wrestling match in his sad looking "Amazing Spider" get up consisting of a sweatshirt, balaclava and all that. I do wish they had gone into the making of the final suit in the Raimi movies...

In this one, you're right - it definitely has an overly designed look to it though and I'm hoping it is explained by the whole wrestling theory. Aside from that, the materials and textures don't bother me so much.

On the practical stunts, I think you guys might be forgetting that there were a LOT of practical stunts in the Raimi films. The outright swinging between buildings and some of the crazier movies were CGI and I'd bet dollars to donuts it'll be the same in this one though the CGI might be more advanced this time around. Maybe they'll do more greenscreen type of stuntman shots for the web-swinging... we'll have to wait and see on that one. I'm not holding my breath though.
 
Take a look at the Spider-Man Broadway costume... I still think the costume Maguire wore is better, it's still better than this.
 
Is it just me or does it look like they were trying to go for more of a chainmail look of the suit? Personally the whole latex web thing in Raimi's suit was a little over the top but you got used to it... if they just took the latex webbing off the Raimi suit and kept it close to the fabric, it would have done much better... and YES... Looks like they are going to be doing mechanical shooters! Now... who's gonna be the villian... I hope its the Lizard... I HOPE ITS THE LIZARD!!!
 
I just hope ther is SOME rational explanation for how he recieved or "made" the suit.

Maybe they make the suit out of the same substance as what the web shooters shoot?

Maybe they will be tied in and that is why the "weaving" shown in the close up pic looks the way it does. With layers.

Just a thought.

I know that wouldn't be cannon but who knows where they are taking this one.
 
Yeah. New spidey looks really hungry. I think he's running to a product placement Taco Bell to get some more meat on those bony legs. That guy looks way too skinny in that suit. The physique of the Maguire Spidey was much closer as well as the costume, even though no matter what, it would take a pro costume maker to be able to assemble suits like that, hahah!
 
Hardly the majority here but I like the new suit -
In the context of the story if its a modded wetsuit it makes a lot more sense than the overly intricate costume of the first three pictures - which i always thought looked like CGI even when live.
Also in agreement the live stuntwork looks like the 'real' Spider-Man is in town and looks like a skinny kid in a homemade suit...
 
If they are going with the Ultimate story line, Peter is given the suit by his manager, and then AFTER has to repair it and learn how to do it himself.

makes me laugh at some of you though...he can make webs he can for sure make a complex costume!

Scientists are not tailors...two completely separate skill sets. I completely buy a kid coming up with an adhesive that no other company has as well...its er...invention? To amend though, in Ultimate, Peter basically finishes his fathers equations after the bite, it suddenly made more sense.

I am not feeling the costume...but I will see the movie anyway :p

Wait... you seem to be contradicting yourself which I don't understand. You said he CAN make a complex costume but then you say scientists aren't tailors.

I don't think making a costume would necessarily qualify one to call themselves a "tailor" which is more indicative of a trade profession but it also doesn't mean a scientist can't comprehend the basics of cloth and a sewing machine, y'know? That's just how I'm interpretting it...

How do the web shooters fit into the Ultimate story? I haven't read it so I didn't know about the thing where Peter essentially finishes his father's equations for the web formula.
 
God THAT looks TERRIBLE!!! The only thing I see as a positive are the eyes. But good gosh that outfit looks like Steve Ditko threw up.

Sorry I meant to say many peoples arguments say that since he can make webshooters and webs he can assuredly make a sweet costume with all these bells and whistles...which is fundamentally a bad argument as it is two completely separate things all together, unrelated. Its like saying, hey you are a great chef, can you tailor me a suit?

Besides, again, he's 16 and he is just learning his skill set. I still think this costume is too advanced for him to make himself, but would buy the Ultimate origin of the suit. Peter basically just added the webs to it.

The webshooters themselves (correct me if I am wrong anyone!) Peter invented, but the formula itself was incomplete which he finished after years of trying to figure it out in Aunt Mays basement. I should pull out the issues, been awhile.
 
I don't really care about the costume as long as the movie is good. Hopefully alot better than the last one.
 
The more I see the suit, the more I'm thinking it might be MADE out of the web material.

It reflects light with sort of a glistening effect in certain pics. (like a spiders web)

I mean if he had hold of a soft but SUPER strong fiber... and can control it... It makes sense that he would make the suit out of it. I know that probably wasn't in ANY of the comics. But would make more sense to have to explain ONE crazy technical thing than 2.

If you had access to the strongest silk fiber in the world.... why would you make your outfit out of spandex? I guess that is my real line of thinking here.

If I'm wrong just ignore this. If I'm RIGHT... YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST!!! :lol
 
Plus he could always start his own fashion line... Spidey haute couture. The spring collection is just marvelous... :p
