The Reinvented Spiderman Costume - Love it or Hate it?

The Reinvented Spiderman Costume - Love it or Hate it?

Now that the dust has settled, what do the fans really think of the New Spiderman Costume?

Feature Opinion

Yesterday was kind of a big deal in the CBM world. Two highly anticipated Comic Book Movies premiered their costumes simultaneously which almost lead to a combustion of Nerdgasm proportions.

A lot of love for the Captain America costume. Spiderman on the other hand? Not so much. I have definitely noticed a bunch of the regulars on here *coughs*Hawksblueyes*coughs* voicing their opinions/displeasure about the newly re-invented costume so i decided to take it to you guys who matter. Say what you will about Raimi's emo inspired Spiderman 3, one thing he got right in all 3 movies was the costume...well not completely right because im sure some folks had some issues with that costume as well. So which web slinging costume did you guys prefer?

Tobey Macguire as Spiderman



Andrew Garfield as Spiderman



Feel free to vote on it. :)

I really don't think I'm too fond of the new costume.

I like that the new one is still blue and red, but...

The first was virtually identical to the comics. How can you argue with it? The connected belt and arm strips have always set it apart as a costume. Why lose them? I'm agin'it!

SOAL, MSG!

I like the first suit better the new one looks like there is a big red finger pointing at his dong. Sweet write up MsK.

The new costume looks a complete downgrade!

By the way Garfield looks more like the character than Macguire does, face and body type wise. I just don't like the costume changes.

The new one looks like something from [frick]ing POWER RANGERS or TV!

I hope to god the mask looks good!

MassExecutions @ Garfield looks like a [frick]ing TWILIGHT rip-off LOL!

Nah TOBEY's an awesome SPIDEY... but its not about the actors, its about the outfits and the new one sucks donkey chunks.

Dude, I found out Gusto agrees with me, but I'm not going to change my opinion. Don't tell anyone, I don't want to get committed.

Toby was far from being a good Spidey, he was a good Parker, but he was a terrible Spider-Man.

So far Garfield has the look down, hopefully his acting is up to par.

that's a hard choice...i mean raimi's costume it's the same of the comics, but it's not perfect because mcguire's not skinny enoughh, i don't know i see more spidey in the second one...

Garfield all the way. I like Tobey as Peter but Andy as Spidey is perfect.

LEEE- Dude the only thing that sucks "donkey chunks" is your reasoning. Have you ever seen Garfield act? He's pretty darn good.

@MassExecutions-The only thing they changed was the belt. Which I'm pretty sure was ripped off.

You can clearly see the strips on the arms.

Both suits are different to the comics. BUT....in different ways.
1)The symbol-Which changes in the comics as well.
2)The texture-Both are scaly.

The new suit has black webs(like the comics) while the old one had silver/gray lines.

I liked the old suit but....

The new suit > The old suit.

@NightAvenger - I do not see the arm stripes. Are you saying they're more on the back of the arms? If that is the case and the belt is just ripped of (which other have suggested) than I'm happy with it. Black webs are better than silver.

I never really liked Maguire, frankly Garfield's looking more and more promising in my book, but the costume is still a bit iffy... Maybe a clearer photo will help...
Still, if u got the chance check out my X-Men Fan Cast

Too shiny. Other than that I can live with it.

After seeing the two of them together like that, I like the new one better. I like how it's more muted, not as bright. I like the texture as well. Still waiting on the mask though. That will really give us something to compare.

I absolutely love the new suit. It has to be different...We are now living in the 21st Century when people expect more realism from movies. This rubberized suit is definitively more realistic than wearing spandex!

I need to see Garfield in the mask before i can make a decision.

if it had the belt line, less detailed gloves, and the arm stripes i would love it.

Honestly I really like the new costume I don't love it but I don't hate it. It needs to be differnet from the Raimi Spider-Man costume so this movie can set itself apart from the movies before. I think there is a belt line but it is a separate piece for what ever reason that is and I say that because there seems to be a faint line around the waist on the new costume that seems to inadequate that a belt has been worn.

IN ALL FAIRNESS

The Bat suit from Batman Begins was awesome but as soon as you see the suit from the Dark Knight, the suit from Batman Begins looks like crap.

SAME thing when you look at the suit of Maguire in the suit he looks like a fat guy in a costume.

I have reservations about the suit but i have 100% faith Garfield (the actor not the cartoon).
