The Amazing Spiderman (Reboot) Costumes and Wardrobe

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Pictures taken from Preiz hilton: and when he thinks something is great, it's a sign of it's utter crapyness.

There have been many variations of Spider-Man over the years & by far this is the worst. TO me this is the equivalent of Tim burton's take on super man.:cry

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

^I think that's a little far. That superman suit is an ENORMOUS departure from what the supes suit looks like in general. The color, materials used, and general style of the suit are all completely different from the other movies/comics. To say that the new Spidey suit is a similar variation from the other Spidey suits is a little ridiculous imo. Same with it's comparison to the batsuit with nipples, etc. from the Schumacher movies. That is being completely unfair. Both the aforementioned batman and superman suits were campy, impractical, and completely dislike anything that had been seen before on screen or page.
The only thing the new spidey suit does different is the slight change of where the red and blue fabric is patterned on the suit. Other than that, the basic colors, materials, and style of 90% of Spidey interpretations is present in this suit.

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Nay,Nay I say! I shall never make such a costume!!:lol

I'm fine with a design change but if it's a bad design then there's a problem.

The original movie suit was a departure from the comic but it worked.

Tweaking a design simply for the sake of change, especially to the detriment of the design, is kinda silly to me.

Like nipples on the batsuit. Going to rubber for the feature films was fine but the resulting tweaks that eventually gave us Bat-Nips was just a bad design call.

I also feel the original films costume designer is getting trashed with comments like "puff painted leotard".
Particularly for reasons like it's not what you may want to wear to face a "Super Villain". WTF? :lol

How many armchair critics even knew what dye- sublimation was before that costume?
It could have easily been a disaster but it was a solid, well made design that did not take us "out of the moment" during the film. It worked.

This may well work in context of the film but it's pretty underwhelming at first sight in my opinion if it's the "New Suit".

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Yea, comparing ANYTHING to the Butrton/Cage Superman suit is just cruel.

I was a big fan of the Spiderman cartoon as a kid, but I've never been a comic guy and overall I have to say that this suit looks pretty cool. Not practical or believable in the least, but cool. I would have liked some bigger eyes on the mask, though.

Oh, and a less Jonas Brothers-looking actor playing Parker would have been awesome, as well.

Looks like a good shot of the web shooter still hate the costume.

I didn't like the suit in the first franchise because that's what it looked like to me and it looked dumb seeing a 'hero' fighting in it. I didn't even say it looked bad. I basically said " this is what I didn't like and this is why ", which is a lot more fair to the costume designer than just calling it 'bad' and 'a change for the sake of it to the detriment of the design' as you are with this one.

This brings me to another point though. In an attempt to stray away from JUST printed leotard, the first suit had texture and some tweaks. This then made it an original take. Being an independent reboot, they could not use the same thing. Also, being an independent reboot, how exciting would it have been if it looked exactly the same as that one?? I'm no costume designer, but I can't see how many different ways you can acceptably deviate and make an alternate to a printed zentai jumper without upsetting some fans.

Which brings me back to my other point... this suit, looks almost exactly the same as the wrestling one, with some more interesting texture. And I'd just like to re-iterate that it's already been said that this reboot is focusing more on the beginnings of Spiderman. And I'm sure Hollywood is very confident it's going to bank and continue on with a sequel or two. And this being the beginning chapter, just like in the comics where he had the wrestling suit, it's the one we're seeing here. I have a very, VERY strong feeling that this will be the first suit of a few, as it technically, chronologically should be. Heck, maybe it's only the first suit in this film!!

Anyways, I'm still Team New Spiderman.

Oh, and also in an attempt to possibly garner a different/more widespread audience, from a female POV, aside from fitting the skinny, geeky profile, this guy is WAY ( scratch that...just googled him for more... ), slightly easier on the eyes than Toby. But from what I've seen/heard many other ladies think much, much better of him than I.

I don't "feel" it. Just dosn't feel like Spiderman to me...

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

...Aelynn000's points about New Spiderman...

Well said .....both times...*claps*

TMP, weren't those images in the making of Spiderman (the first book?)
I swear I've seen them before.

If they were concepts for the first movie, I do think it's kind of cool that they have come around and been implemented into the reboot. At least, good news for the costume designer

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Judging by some of the "New Team spidey" veiws. If I take a Ferrari emblem put it on my red Mustang. Technically I now have a rebooted Ferrari.

yeh i can't wait to see all you nay-sayers building the suits..

Wanna bet I wont work on that suit, how much are you willing to lose?:love

He has the same hair style as the vampire from twilight coincidence? I think not. It's obviously marketing, what do you do when you know your movie isn't looking that great? Step 1: Cast a better looking guy, step 2: Cast an accessible girl, women can relate to. step 3: Watch the money roll in Alla twilight.:angel

The suit is a perfect reflection of the departure taken from the story line vs the comic.

The one thing that blows my mind is the lack of respect for comic books.
Often you hear people say "Oh such and such novel was great, why did that change the story so much for the film adaptation?"

But when it comes to comic books, you hear: "Oh I was never a fan of comic books, so this is great to me."

It really seems like Comic books & Video Games are not the respected medium they should be, but are all the rage for movie studios. Looking for a "core audience" that they later alienate by making it "Accessible" to a "larger audience."

By Guestimateing what "Generation X" is into right now, I mean why dose he have metal clips on his shoes? :confused

I'm sure they will also use cool & hip new buzz words like "Epic & Epic Fail" "FML I'm Spider-Man!" "IBTL Spidey!" "Did you see Spider man? he was so BAMF when he stopped that bus."

My point is, it just seems Cool to like Super-Hero's, but not cool to read or care about the comic books they came from.:unsure

I agree with you about an apparent lack of appreciation for the source material. I have some friends that think it's nerdy of me to like comic books, but they're the first ones to get mad at me when I don't take them to see the new superhero movies.

As far as now moving on to comparing this to Twilight simply because of Garfield's hair? That argument is about as valid as comparing the suit to Batman's nipple suit or the Burton Superman costume. That "hairstyle" was not invented by the Twilight series. In fact, I believe someone has already posted this, but Garfield's hair has always kind of looked like that both inside and outside of his films. Just because someone has messy hair does not mean they are trying to copy Twilight. Garfield was cast because he is a phenomenal actor. For the naysayers out there, check him out in The Social Network, Red Riding, and Never Let Me Go.

Same with Emma Stone. Yes, she is a relatively popular actress, but that doesn't mean she has no talent and was only put in to attract more people to see the film. I personally think she is a pitch perfect Gwen Stacy from what we've seen so far.

You are taking my words out of context.

Refer to my last line to know exactly how I feel about this costume.
AS I SAID," it may well work in context of the film but I find it underwhelming" as "The" Spiderman costume if it is in fact that.

I get it, you like it.
Me, not so much.

The "puff painted leotard" comment is what got me tweaked enough to even post.

My point was,do you have to trash someone's earlier good work , that has nothing to do with this, to make a case for the newer costume?

Again, I get it you like it.
That's fine. It's all good.


Wishing you all the best,
Chuck...

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Peter Parker did not have the skill and was able to afford the materials to build this new suit (or the original movie one, for that matter). Personally, I think an all fabric costume (maybe even something simpler than in the comic books) would have worked for the story better.

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

A few new photos from the Superherohype.com

*Also, just going to redact what I said about the muscle shading AND the red and blue being separate fabric. Even though the bricks themselves don't look deformed... from this picture it definitely looks like the lycra has a hint of it. You can also make out some of the elements of the new pattern (fabric reflection creates a slightly different color where different pieces lay) IE, look at the shoulder. It appears that red and blue are all one piece. Between that and the shading I guess it's dye-sub again :[
*sigh*

And for the record, I see Spider-man web slinging here. Think of it like reticulation... the red-blue is still there, and it is in the spots where it makes him undeniably Spiderman. Maybe the costume has some more 'implied lines' than it did before... But this is still Spidey to me.

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

for me, what we have to remember is that these are rather unflattering spy photos. i'm pretty sure when we see the suit in action, it'll look alot better. i'm really excited about the new film, and with the costume being as redesigned as it has been, i'm now starting to think about other elements of the film that may be different and quite possibly better than in the first three; such as how new york is portrayed, how spidey fights, and (most importantly) how he webslings i'm just looking at this film(s) as completely new and different films, and someone elses take (like batman begins was to the batman franchise). whatever happens, i'm looking forward to the reboot.

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

I see It as something new and refreshing. Why not a new take on it

 

[encased]

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Looks like a speed skater's suit to me. PASS!

I'll take the original design pattern from the comics which the last films matched. You don't mess with an iconic costume just because you're a costume designer. But people have to reinvent the wheel to justify their paycheck.

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

...i'm now starting to think about other elements of the film that may be different and quite possibly better than in the first three; such as how new york is portrayed, how spidey fights, and (most importantly) how he webslings ...

THIS!

I love that there's already a shot of the stunt guy swinging! So excited for the realism that this will provide instead of boneless gumby Spiderman slinging from invisible ceilings. ... I still don't know how I'm going from anti-Spidey to being excited but... EH. I'll take it.

I do not like the silver foot detail though, it's so distracting....

The good thing for the new-suit-likers is that the majority of us will probably like the film more. Maybe it's just me, but if there's something really ugly in a movie, I find it hard not to be distracted by it the whole time. Like crumbs in someones beard taking away from an interesting conversation ( I could say food in teeth, but crumbs in beards are way more revolting which seems to be how the dislikers feel LOL ). So I hope the suit-haters can ease up and/or get used to it by then and not let it distract from all of the other changes and hopefully improvements the movie will have.

Slightly OT, is it true that the villain in this movie is The Lizard? In that case, I have to retract all of my statements about them trying to make it as least campy as possible for general and widespread audiences. Though, again, myself not being a Spiderman fan originally, I won't complain. I do like dinosaurs. I'm very intrigued how this will translate to the big screen...

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

in the one photo above by tsuyosa the mask looks much brighter than the suit i am thinking it the lighting in that shot rather than the suit itself the pattern of the suit i like its the texture i am not fussed on, but perhaps it will grow on me

 

[TMP]

Re: Spiderman Reboot Costumes and Wardrobe

Looking on that design i believe people will have more trouble replicating this suit vs previous suit due to material and how its made.

In regards of the boots it have the appearance of a scuba boot...
Somewhere down this ally, not that the photo is ref. But the shape of the boot might be obtainable?
