Hot Toys - MMS179 - The Amazing Spider-Man: Spider-Man

the costume is just lacking.

That's a polite way of putting it.

 

[Sachiel]

I think the Garfield body type is much more comic accurate.

That depends on what comics you are comparing to.

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

My main problem with the "new" costume is just the fact that Spidey has one of the greatest set of threads in the entire comic-verse. Don't piss with something that is that great.

I don't get the hate for this costume, it's not THAT different from his iconic classic look. Hawkeye's costume is almost unrecognizable from his comic counterpart and that doesn't get any complaints, nethier does Wolverine or to a lesser extent Cap

It didn't need changing or updated. They subdued Wolverine and Hawkeye, they didn't subdue Spiderman, they just changed it all willynilly. Is it really that hard to understand? Nothing broke there, why try to fix it?

 

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

Nothing was broke with Hawkeyes or Wolverines costumes and they changed near enough everything about them, Unlkine them Spidey's costume still identifies him as Spidey imho

 

[Ramatuelle]

Ah, the aroma of both, on a hot day, in NYC. Memories....

Easy pass on this figure.

*snicker*

Yep.... it sure is. Its too bad, as HT is certainly capable of producing a wonderful Spider-man. But this ain't it.

Some things should not be tinkered with too much, and this costume is one of them. Raimi Spider-Man embellished the costume, which was acceptable.

This movie destroyed the costume. Good going, production team

 

[ThorsThunder]

Not to mention making a movie that could have easily waited another decade.

 

[Mroiman]

This is a easy pass. The movie just felt like Batman Begins for Spiderman and the costume is just lacking. Hot Toys does capture this costume well though.

explain to me how that's a bad thing?

BB was the best of the three latest Batman Movies.

the costume is just lacking.

Months after the films release the costume is still an issue to some people. We've known about the costume for over a good year now; the films been and gone and the costume still gets to some people. It's happened and will happen again in parts 2 & 3.

 

[Ramatuelle]

It is a bad thing, because it feels like every. single. movie. we have to rehash the origin, YET AGAIN!

When they start making Batman movies again, the first thing we see will be: that. origin. story. all. over. again.

IN CASE SOMEONE MISSED THE FIRST FIFTY TELLINGS, YANNO!

I have not seen the mew spider-man movie over this very issue. I am origin'ed out; the next time I see one, I want it to be for a character I haven't already seen ten initerations of their origins.

Like Dr. Strange. I am down to see his origin, even if I already know what it is.... it better be something good like that.

The next Spider-man film will be dealing with his origins too. Wait for it.

Good for you holding back on it. You aren't missing a damn thing really. I mainly went so I could get excited over someone other than numbnuts Maguire but in all honesty that didn't happen. When you mention it, will be funny to see someone post all the Peter Parkers, Uncle Bens and Mary Janes and such, there will plenty over the years. I really feel that Marvel is so guilty at cookie cutter movies. The original Iron Man and Avengers were something unique and look how they did. They kicked ass.

ASM did everything the raimi attempts did and did them better as well as being different enough to paint a different picture of Peter Parker and his life

I'm tired of origins as well.

Zack Snyder wasn't going to make MoS an origin story either. I remember him saying something like "everyone knows superman's origin. we all know how he got here, etc." haven't read anything saying why he changed his mind other than what he said at the SDCC panel in that he said to make the movie work and not have any ties to the Reeve films they needed to start fresh and pretend like no other Superman film has existed before MoS. I think many directors have this feeling too it's just not always executed the best way.

but in the case of this new spiderman film (and hopefully MoS), it was done very well and I enjoyed the origin. while the costume may not have been as comic centered as the Rami films but there were many elements in the new film that I thought were done much better than the Rami films. It's definitely worth at least one watch through.

Doing an origin again is for two reasons.

1. To remove itself from the pre-existing canon

2. Directors like to interpret and adapt the source material and tell a different story without constraints of previous canon.

Batman Begins created a new canon for Batman, ASM created a new Canon for Spider-Man and Man of Steel will create a new canon for Superman. We all know how these heroes became heroes and who they are, but rebooting them definatley re-invigorates the stale interperations that these all inevitably become.

If they were to reboot ASM again right now to another origin film then that would be bad, but it's been years since SM3 and the series needed a fresh take.

Its not marvel. The studio holds the rights to it but under the condition that a movie must be made so many years or the spiderman license and brand reverts over to Disney who now owns marvel. Same deal with xmen

Yea but Jack Sparrow had the same canon through all of films...how do you explain his success?

He's not an adapted characters with decades of source material to be intepreted differently, Johnny Depp IS Jack Sparrow, same as Will Ferrell IS Ron Burgundy, there can never be others playing those charactesr.

Jack Sparrow's films has also gotten progressivle worse though

 

[greygoose]

Blame the abomination that is Spider Man 3 for destroying the chance of any more films in that story universe.

They wanted both to be team identity, where Spidey has no need for subduing. Its pretty simple, doesn't take an amazing amount of critical thinking, maybe you should check where your head is and remove it if its really that hard for you to figure out.

Spiderman's suit on the other hand was just creative ego'ing at its best. Its not an IronSpiderman, not a Spidey joins FF or Spidey joins Avengers, he doesn't just appear in a movie in a black suit for no reason, the whacko suit is just unwarranted BS. Eat it up and pretend its not a crap sandwich. Good boy!
