I thought I would hate the film because of this (as well as the fact that it is supposedly a rom-com).
I must say I was pleasantly surprised though and really enjoyed it.
Yeah the characters are hipsters, but the film is still really well done and both leads are very likeable.
To dismiss it because of it's supposed hipster-pandering is unfair IMO.

Webb's directorial job on the Lone Star pilot sealed him as a talent to watch. I'm looking forward to his take on Spider-man immensely.

I don't get this whole hipster crap. Just let people like whatever they like. You making fun of them only make you the douchebag.
At any rate, I don't think Garfield's clothes look unusual. Many college kids wear something like that because they can't be bothered to dress up properly when there are exams and assignments 24/7. Ditto with the messy hair.

It's Hollywood. Don't be naive.
You really think they'd let their highly paid actors to look like complete crap? Especially when he should still have some sexual appeal for the target audience.
And I've seen your pictures. You dress up like him yourself sometimes.
Jesus fucking christ. Garfields peter parker looks like a college kid. What do you want? Him to be fully characterized as a nerd with a button upped shirt tucked into dockers with a big pair of glasses and pocket protector? Or no, you want him to look like this?
I'm pretty sure this movie is "modern" times so he's going to look like a modern fucking kid. You don't like it, don't watch it and stop bitching because it's happening.

i do wear the occasional blazer, but i generally leave my fingerless gloves at home. i was just saying that it looks like someone trying to dress sloppy, like it's phony and planned, not at all like someone who just exists within that. maybe it'll look differently in context, maybe not. but i think the way peter dressed in raimi's movies seemed pretty natural and low profile, not thought about, in the way i see many nerdos dress every day. maybe he's not a nerdo in this though.

Yeah Parker looks pretty normal here apart from those lame fingerless gloves.
beelzebozo said:
So in other words, you do have fingerless gloves.
beelzebozo said:
Eh, I disagree. At first maybe. But subsequent films got progressively worse. Expensive suits, designer jackets, etc.
Here to jar everyone's memories:
Who wears that kind of suits to go to a nightclub? Where you'd end up dancing and sweating. And he's supposed to be a nerd?

Your argument is invalid because Peter Parker in the third film was infected with some swag bacteria. So he just got cooler all of a sudden (and douchier too).
Right, because people who dress well and like indie music are hipsters. Here I thought it was dudes with cut-off shorts, ill fitting v-necks and curly mustaches.Discotheque said:It's much worse with the people complaining about the word.

I don't know why gaf is so obsessed with hipsters.
I work with them regularly and they rend to be more open and fun than rednecks, metal heads, geeks and whatever little subculture we don't mock nearly as much.
People should consider that most of the art you consume is made by "hipsters" of one stripe or another.
If you think films "pander to hipsters" because they feature dialogue of 2 twenty somethings who are into music discussing Belle and fucking Sebastion (who were hip in the 90s) and the Smiths (who were hip in the 80s with a resurgence maybe 10 years ago)
You are just out of touch. No need to hate a movie for depicting people who actually exist out there and like like things actual people like... especially when it's the sort of stuff the directors and and screenwriters probably like themsleves... being hipsters and artists themselves.
May as well hate True Grit because it "panders to rednecks":lol
Maybe Peter gets picked on by Flash Thompson for being a hipster.wenis said:Jesus fucking christ. Garfields peter parker looks like a college kid. What do you want?

lol@skinny jeans and gloves being exclusive 'hipster'-wear. The label is getting so overused it's approaching annoying.
Regardless, -- at least, in my experience -- nerds tend to start dressing like hipsters in college anyway so they're representing the MODERN setting fairly well.

This is not really that big of a deal, FYI. Just because he doesn't really look like Peter doesn't mean that he couldn't still act like him. The fact that it's being directed by the 500 Days guy (if I wanted to watch Annie Hall, that's what I'd fucking watch) is a much bigger concern for me.
Edit: And everybody always shits on Tobey in 3 (though since it's more comedy than drama, I'd say that he's fine), but that crying GIF seems to me a pretty decent bit of acting, considering that he's watching his best friend die in front of him.

With regards to the costume, I'll just echo what slashfilm.com said; Sony better release an official photo of Garfield in the Spidey costume soon before the inevitable terrible quality out of context on-set photos leak.
Oh, and for those hoping for bigger eyes this time around along the lines of McFarlane or Ultimate Spider-Man, please no. Keep it classy, go for a shape more along the lines of the John Romita Sr. design (it gives Alex Ross erections):

Jokes on you, he'll probably spend 90% of the film fighting crime in a hoodie and skinny jeans (and fingerless gloves, can't forget those) before "becoming" Spider-Man and donning the costume for the first at the climactic finish.Loxley said:
BattleMonkey said:
The clubs that I've been to have people wearing mostly t-shirts and at the most normal shirt with tie. Who would wear suits when you're going to dance amongst many people and end up sweating like packed sardines?
I don't know what kind of club you've been to? The one where you mostly sit around ronery? Or the one where you have to pay money for girls to accompany you? :lol :lol :lol
In that case, yes, I've never been to that kind of club.

Eh, the thing is I don't think they care much about the leaks. Where's that JPG about what geeks want and what actually makes money when you need it?

But not like Peter Parker has looked. Again, the Raimi movies got his appearance correct. And to that Spider Man 3 gif of him in the suit, that was the comedy montage of him under the influence of the black costume.Zeliard said:Damn lots of hate for someone that looks like your normal everyday urban-dweller.
This I will completely agree with. Hopefully some newer pictures or some clips well help alleviate the pain caused from the first leaked pics.
And the pic of Flash Thompson earlier does look good. He looks suitably douchey enough.
And funny thing I found out the other week: the guy who played Flash Thompson in Spidey 1 is on True Blood now.

It's certainly a change from Raimi/Maguire's Parker, but I don't think this is offensively bad. Marc Webb will have dominant influence on the look and feel of the film and I don't think it's proper to judge these types of pictures without first getting some more context as far what Webb is going for, especially when it comes to the overall tone. When I look at Parker in that pic I think "laid-back" more than anything.
