I just looked through the entire thread. Yeah...that costume is pathetic. Spider-man's look is classic and iconic. It's one of those things you shouldn't mess with. Pretty much everytime it was changed in the comics, there was a negative backlash from fans. If they wanted to go with a different look from raimi's they could have simply made the web pattern more comic accurate, changed the shape of the eyes and spider on his chest. Maybe slightly altered the red and blue tones, and they could have given him the webs that are in the armpits of the costume. I think that would have been adequate enough of a difference for a new movie. Thats my rant, but Spiderman has been my favorite hero since I was 3 back around 1981 - 82. Again the only positive is the mechanical web shooters and I hope they did away with the little hairs on his fingertips. He sticks to walls by a means similar to static cling.
