That version of the origin story (from the first picture there) is from a version created after the first Raimi directed Spider-Man movie as no Spider-man origin story retelling had wrestling until then. The original comic started off in 1962 and the origin has been retold lots of times, but I know that the whole wrestling idea came in after the 2002 movie. If anything the comic pic you posted is less accurate to it's many predecessors than Raimi's version.Owyn_Merrilin said:What exactly is wrong with the new suit? As far as I can tell, it's more accurate to the comic than the one in the Sam Raimi movies -- note the web shooters on the wrists. I can understand being iffy on a reboot so close to the last set of films, but the costume doesn't seem to be a negative to me. Does no-one else remember the collective nerd rage that came about from the costume in the first movie?
Edit: In fact, here's a comparison. It looks like the new costume is a comic-accurate rendition of the costume he wore to the wrestling match that is such an important part of the origin story.

I hope so, it looks fucking awful in those photos.Daystar Clarion said:Just goes to show the the difference in quality between a a photo taken with a reasonably expensive camera and a footage filmed with cameras worth tens of thousands of pounds. It looks shit now, but the finished product should look clean and crisp.
The picture may be from a more recent version of the origin story, but the wrestling match was definitely in the original version.AzrealMaximillion said:That version of the origin story (from the first picture there) is from a version created after the first Raimi directed Spider-Man movie as no Spider-man origin story retelling had wrestling until then.

A baggy Spider suit would be just as distracting because it makes no sense. It's a suit, it's supposed to be skin tight, for movement and stuff. In most of the comics you can see every bulging muscle through the suit.Captain Pirate said:But in those on-set shots... Damn, that is one tight suit.
I'd rather not stare at some tight blue-encased arse, thanks Marvel.
