Spider-Man Finally Revealed in Latest Civil War Trailer
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
I, uh...I actually like Spider-Man in this trailer. I like that the costume looks like spandex, and I think his pubescent voice is very fitting for a nerd whose next line is probably going to be something like, "I am so sorry about this, guys, I'm a big fan of all your work!" And then probably a joke about how he doesn't know who Falcon is.
My problem is moreso that he looks fake. Like complete CGI or a heavily touched up actor in costume.
Is that an actual person in costume?

Its the suit Stark designed so it has eyes on it with movable camera like shutters. Though whether those eyes record or not like a camera i dont know. Would be fun if that was the case as it would mean Stark could use him as a drone on the battlefield.
I am pretty sure it works like this: Marvel has the rights to use Spidey as cameos, Sony retains the rights to Spiderman titled movies.Something Amyss said:
I think this thread proves people's scoffing at ghostbusters isn't sexist. People scoffing at Spidey's 'cheap costume' and people scoffing at Spideys voice. They probably just hate teenage boys. Spidey is supposed to be a teenager, always has. This has been a typical '28 year old playing a 17 year old' hollywood thing. Spidey is supposed to sound young. Many people in the comics know he is a kid under the mask simply by talking to him. Also, as for the 'fake CGI looking costume', here is a real photo of someone in spandex.
Looks like spandex to me. Although the eyes moving I am also waiting to see how or if they explain that. Would be cool if they could zoom in and out for his vision. Like binoculars or something.
Except that's not an apples-to-apples comparison. People hacven't been having a hissyfit since Spider-Man was announced. The dislike bar isn't overwhelmingly negative (and is barely visible) People aren't screaming that Spider-Man can't be funny. The response isn't even in the same sport, let alone the same ballpark.Zenja said:
Maybe you should look at why you seem to be so invested in proving this to be "not sexist." Because the excuses you've offered across two threads now are pretty weak.
Two threads? Pretty sure I only commented in 1, I purposely didn't post in the one. Also, people aren't saying that this movie looks like crap, but spiderman and this one was a passing comment that was a jab at the politics surrounding ghostbusters. I could ask you why you are so invested in a small comment in the Civil War thread you can't just let it go. You seem awfully invested in proving that it is. Or at least that I am wrong saying it's not.Something Amyss said:
If I found this to be real evidence I would have ran my happy butt back into the other thread and offered it. Trust me, I would have. This little comment I would have thought to have no discussion value though as it was more of a jab at politics than anything else.
Don't like a thing that has guys in it: Fanboyism. Don't like a thing that has women in it: Sexism.Something Amyss said:
Convenient that we can't openly dislike something just because its main characters are part of a particular demographic. That's not weak logic at all...
Yeah, I think the suit was one of the best things from the Raimi films.Casual Shinji said:
Anyway, not that my opinion matters either way, considering I've had very little interest in Marvel's cineverse for the past three years or so and I'll take any excuse to poo-poo on it. I'm sure the film will be just as enjoyable as all of the other ones have been for people.
EDIT: Also, I'd just find it funny to note that in the comics, Peter was canonically something like 26 years old during Civil War. Obviously they can do whatever they want for the films, and I guess this is supposed to be yet another reboot for the character so it makes a bit of sense that they're making him young and unestablished, but just a bit of silly trivia for the people who always go on about how he's always supposed to be a kid.
That is fucking awesome all the folk in here complaining about how it looks like a bad CGI and it turns out it is a real person in a real suit. Anyway I was more pumped to see some action with Antman doing Antman stuff, i.e running about while really really small.
I actually liked the new suit. Yes, I think the Sony one(s) looked more high tech and durable (and actually, why isn't Tony giving Parker some techno-lycra that is resilient?), and this looks a bit more amateurish. Bar the eyes.
Which makes sense since Parker is just starting out. It's a "mark 1" costume.
Now the eyes are a REALLY clever feature, letting his mask be very emotional like in the comics/cartoons. They should have been bigger (like in the Sony ones) to avoid it looking like an amateur costume, but maybe it'll grow on me. As long as they can justify the special lenses, then I'm happy.
My major gripe is: WHY SPOIL IT NOW?!
This could have been a huge moment in the movie, dropping jaws everywhere. Sure everyone would speculate "will he turn up? won't he?" but it feels like they put him in just to advertise the fact Marvel got the license back.
Just like how Black Panther (and a few others?) are debuting now instead of in their own movie X months from now.
If the plot makes sense, and it's kick-ass, fine. I don't want these movies just being adverts for 2 - 3 other movies down the line.

Hate the voice.
However the suit...the fact that it makes me think of the 60s Spiderman makes for comedy gold.
I mean think about it with that mindset, instead of this innocent little teenage Spiderman you're imagining the raunchy and abrasive 60s Spiderman from the memes. Just think of it.
You may hate it.
But it's the only glorious image that I see of it.
