kinda wish they'd mess with the costume a bit more. just to fuck with the fanboys, ya know?

The fanboy crowd loves it from what I can tell. I'm actually not a fan, especially of the texturing - not sure why he needs to look like he's a basketball.
(view in new window to see full-size btw, it's quite large)
― Princess TamTam, Wednesday, 16 February 2011 04:18 (thirteen years ago) link
basketball is exactly what i thought too
― pre-prison, prison, and post-prison (latebloomer), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 04:20 (thirteen years ago) link
i think it would be awesome if in this version peter parker literally makes the suit out of basketballs
― pre-prison, prison, and post-prison (latebloomer), Wednesday, 16 February 2011 04:21 (thirteen years ago) link
in the raimi flicks they never show him making the suit! it would be neat to see how a high school student could find the materials to secretly make such a fancy outfit.

then again i would watch a prequel to the star wars prequels documenting anakin's conception by the midiclorians...in real time
(not really)

Yeah I liked the gag in the first movie where he draws all these costume designs and then triumphantly reveals his shitty hoody-based outfit, but it did draw attention to how weird it is that he could cook up the real outfit.

now that I think about it, this is even weirder when you consider that the rationale for organic web-shooters is that a teenage kid shouldn't be able to invent a magic adhesive that's better than anything 3M's r&d dept could come up with

the fuck is the deal w/ the sloppy spiderman emblem. it kinda infuriates me and i could care less for spiderman.

the rooting-through-the-bag stuff looks interesting; it's surprising that there is alleyway-stuff in here that could be outta raimi's film. i feel like they could've gone for some sort of arbitrary transplant (of location, of spider-man's skin-colour per that guy applying for the role a while back) & run with it on account of how recent a similar incarnation of the film was.

I still can't believe they're doing the origin story AGAIN. I was bored enough watching it in the trailer. Also the first-person stuff looks really lame
― Number None, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 16:23 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, I think this is going to brick.
― Josef K-Doe (WmC), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 16:25 (twelve years ago) link
i think i would probably watch spider-man regardless tbh. like i think geeky kid gets spider-man powers is just such powerful escapism that i will probably go see. i don't know if the moment-in-which-garfield-looks-nerdily-flustered in the trailer bodes well (emo, hooded, zuckerberg parker probably would've worked better, as a kinda reinterpretation), particularly compared to the bit in i guess spider-man 3 in which tobey maguire starts talking about soundwaves.
― Aa Bb Obscure Dull Blue (#000066) (schlump), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 16:27 (twelve years ago) link
looks like they're gonna explore the whole 'parents' thing, though, which i don't even remember from the comics
― g++ (gbx), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 17:03 (twelve years ago) link
i only ever saw the cartoon which, i don't know whether that makes me persona non grata, but iirc there was a subplot in which they were spies

^all of this otm. i felt exactly the same way watching that trailer.

is this gonna be in 3D? because that would make the fp stuff cool

I would ask if you are 14 years old but it would be insulting to earlier real and made-up ilxors who have posted here at that age.
― Josef K-Doe (WmC), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 17:39 (twelve years ago) link
The Spider-Man ride at Universal Studios is a 3D first-person thing. It's really good and it's only 5 mins long.

Wow. Now with even more daddy issues. Somehow that's commendable.
― My Boyfriend Could Be A Spanish Man (R Baez), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
My husband told me there was a story in the comics where the parents were actually spies who got killed, I hope they don't do that for the movie -- it would be so cheesy.
― online pinata store (Nicole), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 17:44 (twelve years ago) link
Was doing some idle checking around today and discovered apparently the murderer of his parents was...the Red Skull. Or one of them. Crossover!

Sorry, Lorax, that was a little blunt.

I'm not offended by you trying to start beef over a spider-man movie

I'll be on the look out for Campbell Scott in the Captain America after-credits teaser.

will probably see this at some point but seems ridiculously early for a reboot. not as quick as the Hulk reboot which was, what, two years after the first movie I guess. but still, wtf. they could have just continued the series on with a new actor if they wanted to and not started over
― akm, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 18:04 (twelve years ago) link
i mean it's not like we get 'the origin of james bond' every ten years when the lead actor changes.
The most recent Bond actor change *did* give us "the origin of James Bond" fwiw. Or at least showed him completing the kill that first earned him his double-0 designation.

I was about to say, and did so in a quick, no-more-than-needed fashion, credit to them.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 18:07 (twelve years ago) link
There had never been origin of Bond film before tho
― Number None, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 18:08 (twelve years ago) link
i don't know anything about this, but i always thought the hulk reboot was because they wanted to tie it in a little more explicitly with the expanding marvel movie-verse.

Role model here when it comes to tentpole/franchise movie (as opposed to TV) backstories could almost be Sherlock Holmes from a couple of years ago. Fuck a backstory, Holmes and Watson are buds fighting crime, the end.
― Ned Raggett, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 18:09 (twelve years ago) link
I hope Spider-Man follows in said fashion, if only to give a new couple of retirement age actors a chance at regular employment every decade or so.
― My Boyfriend Could Be A Spanish Man (R Baez), Wednesday, 20 July 2011 18:10 (twelve years ago) link
Grant Morrison's All-Star Superman dispenses with his origin in one page, cos we all know it already. If they want to include an origin in these things just do it a short pre-credits sequence or whateverhttp://superman.nu/theages/origins/all-star-origin.jpg

i must not know the first thing about the movie business, because it's incredible to me that they are rebooting a reboot
― goole, Wednesday, 20 July 2011 18:23 (twelve years ago) link
was there another reboot before this one

That Spider-man teaser is like the trailer to some emo body horror flick we're not going to get. David Cronenberg's "The Spider Man."
