CG hands! cause real hands look outta place!
It's the new in thing.

To me that's exactly how Spider-Man should be. He should be a lanky guy. Basically, the spider powers give him a great amount of power in a thin, tight package. He should be fit, of course, but not jacked up or anything. That doesn't make sense.Extollere said:

I'm just gonna assume that his crotch was too prominent in the costume when left undirtied, and it's propably just an intermediary step that de-accentuates the shadows his junk casts. Maybe it looks better to artificially re-add color than artificially de-emphasize the oultine of his balls and wang.

it's going to be some poor guy's job to colour in that crotch.

he should have a secret group of friends who hide in a chamber down a tunnel that is disguised as a locker. and they have secret codenames.
also, you feel secretly attracted to him and are battling with this.

Dat dirdy dik.
I look at these shots and think: This is what Spiderman would look like if he were in real life without all the post-pro and cinematic lighting.

Something you should realize about Parker is that he was a nerd out of circumstance. While he was interested in science, he couldn't spend much time with the cool kids because he didn't have the money nor the time to. His life was basically taking care of his aunt, fighting crime and studying his ass off to get a scholarship to a decent college. So I don't think it's particularly important to have an average looking Peter Parker, especially since after Ditko left, every subsequent artist made him pretty damn good looking. It's his character that's important.
Something that Raimi's Peter Parker was missing was that Peter was actually a pretty smart kid even out of his costume and he would often make witty remarks that would fly over the heads of most students, but stick with the reader. Nor was he awkward and clumsy like Peter Maguire. I was going to write a rant after I saw his skateboard pictures, but after thinking about it, I thought it would be something Peter probably would have learned today given that he's always trying to get to places faster and can't afford a car.
Something I don't understand about this is that if it's not an origin movie, then how is Ben in it?

I understand that: I mean he grew into a handsome enough guy that women were all over him. But at this age, in this day and age, if you're handsome you're popular. People would still be fighting to make friends with you and more importantly, to break you out of that shell.
I just pictured my Spider-man to be a bit more average looking. When he becomes a superhero or hooks up with a supermodel like Mary Jane, you cheer for him and share his triumphs, because it's more unlikely.

Toby McGuire has a goofy face. And voice.
Emma Stone is really giving off the Gwen Stacey vibe though.

Also, Andrew got a bit bigger, I think.

It's good to see that Spiderman movies continue to take place in the same sort of bizarro world where dudes who look like they walked out of an underwear modelling shoot are socially awkward science nerds.

There are actually GAFfers who look like that. Just check out half of the "Post Your Pic" thread. They're clearly good-looking but nerdy and seem to have problem attracting female or at least convincing them not to friendzone them.
Besides, he has to be realistic enough to attract a model like Mary Jane. Moreover, would you rather see this face again?
neorej said:
Again, some GAF-fers do. I won't name names but seriously, it's not unusual to see college students wearing those kind of combinations.
They were filming that scene in my neighborhood lol.
I think Andrew Garfield looks pretty normal, although he looks to have bulked up a bit. And what are people finding wrong with their outfits? The only thing I don't like are his socks. And Gwen's outfit is the kind of stuff I like to wear all the time and I'm no hipster. People labeling everything 'hipster' now, jeez.

He looks like a young Johnny Knoxville.
His handsomeness also undermines the integrity of Mary Jane. Sure, it's easy to love a handsome guy that also happens to be a superhero. It'd be much more sincere if he was a not-so-well endowed guy.
With the mainstreaming of superheroes, it is expected.

Pretty sure it's the mismatched socks, skinny jeans, fingerless gloves, and expertly coiffed "tousled" hairstyle on a guy that's tall, thin and handsome that's got people riled up... Clean white socks (and undies!), regular cut jeans, and a haircut that came from his dear old aunt -- that's young Peter Parker.suzu said:

If Peter's clothes are the worst thing to gripe about on this movie then I think we're off to a good start.
