It's not about redheads, I love them. It's more about MJ. I guess Kirsten "always high" Dunst burned me a bit on that character.neorej said:

Fixed. Get with the times, old man.
Exactly! This guy looks like he spent houts in front of a mirror trying to get his hair just right. From reading comments like salvor's above I'm getting the feeling this is what modern/ultimate spiderman is and I'm just scratching my head because my knowledge of him is well... OG spiderman. Seems like it's going to play out like raimi's version will end up being for us old timers and this version will be for people who were raised on the "nerd by circumstance" (lol) spidey.Spike Spiegel said:

I'm in my early 30s, I am an "old man" and my Peter Parker stopped existing the moment Marvel decided that being married, steadily employed as a teacher and responsible was something Peter Parker shouldn't be. I'll freely admit that I am not this movie's target audience.brotkasten said:
You guys haven't seen real hipsters (they are way more over the top). He dresses pretty normal for his age (flashback isnt it?) other than the socks and glove things. His hair isn't really that crazy either. I'll say he looks more like a regular college guy rather than a typical nerd though.

Haha, I've been out of the loop. I thought this was going to be another origin movie! I'm glad to hear it's not. We don't need another one of those, because it's too implausible. And, those movies really waste a lot of time.

I did too- glad to know they're taking the Incredible Hulk route. I don't need to know more about Uncle Ben dying more than I need to know about the Waynes getting shot in Crime Alley.
Also, Emma Stone looks a better Gwen Stacy every day, and she was good to start with, so yayyyyy

dunno how people can balk at the clothes when this is a film about a man who fights crime IN A BRIGHT RED/BLUE SKIN-TIGHT GIMP COSTUME

that's true. in fact, peter should just wear a dress. nobody could question it could they? they would be fools if they did. i mean, he fights crime in a spider suit. all bets are off.

I really liked these sentences when I imagined them as a proposal that he should just wear a dress, as Spider-Man.beelzebozo said:

Everytime I see this thread getting bumped, I get more and more excited about this movie; but then I see every other poster throwing the word "hipster" around like it's the fucking plague and it makes me wanna slam my head on my desk. It's ridiculous.

I really, honestly don't see anything wrong with the clothes they wear. I wouldn't wear most of it, but so what? Would you guys really notice, let alone form an opinion, if someone walked by you on the streets in similar clothes like Garfield or Stone are wearing?
Sometimes a part of gaf really does sound like a bunch of old farts, disguising their intolerance and whining behind the idea that if you label it "hipster", it's ok to hate.

Superman universe is loaded with stupid people.bud said:
also, when you have the physique of Superman, your only choice is to NERD UP and put on some fucking glasses, four eyes.

actually the latent anti-intelligence/nerdery/glasses message of super=man is pretty interesting. the idea that someone with glasses could do something so heroic as super/man is so unbelievable to people in this society that the illusion is complete almost instantaneously. take that concept and plug in any other minority and you have a real debate on your hands.

All bets are off. They've already established that people will consider that thing a suitable option for fighting crime, who's to say what kind of twisted vision they have of what is an acceptable dress code.

do you react this way every time someone shares their preferences about a beloved character with a drastic aesthetic change?beelzebozo said:
how dare they, am i right?
My last post was a clear exaggeration as others probably were, but to point out that the costume is very different is something that shouldn't be suprising, no?
I do lament there isn't more about this movie to discuss right now.

You guys are so clever! How come you two are the only ones who "get it" whilst all these other lame-tards complain about such trivial shit? I'll be sure you two are amongst the first to get my drafts for this Superman screen play I'm writing were Clark Kent is a junkie, punk, guitarist.

Never was crazy about Emma Stone but the blonde hair is doin' it for me.
I think the complaint is more about it just not being in character. This guy seems cool. He's a nerd in the same vein Marty McFly was a nerd (which is to say, not at all).Green Scar said:
Toby's Spiderman on the other hand was a perfect screen representation of the stereotypical nerd that was presented in Amazing Fantasy #15. He was a genius, goody-two-shoes that seemed as though he was raised (or coddled) by two doting old people. The general campiness of the films as presented by Sam Raimi helped sell it, but Spiderman is a light-hearted, "campy" character so the two went hand-in-hand anyway.

Question remains:
Will they have the balls to kill off Gwen Stacey?
