Wow... what a lame attempt at the symbiote costume. How is it a freakin' symbiote if it just makes his suit black? I really would have expected better from Raimi on this one. Unless this is just a placeholder photo for them to get the fanbase revved up, but I don;t think so.
If you look closely, it almost looks like the webbing is white/silver in color. I like the idea of the suit mimicking the original, just in its own colors. While I would have preferred the comic black costume, this is fine by me.
While I do prefer the original symbiote suit, this one is good if it is actually Venom, and it's for a poetic final battle where he has to fight what is literally a dark version of himself. Just think of the cool teaser trailer that could be: *Thunder clashes and rain falls as Spiderman sits in the pose on the poster*"First he faced the Green Goblin" *Show clip of Spiderman vs. GG* *Back to Spidy*"Then, Doctor Octopus" *Show clip of Spiderman vs. Doc Ock* *Back to Spidy*"Now, he must face" *Show clip of Sandman*"A new enemy" *Show clip of Hobgoblin*"An old friend" *Back to Spidy*"And the greatest threat of them all" *Spidy turns towards the camera revealing that he is really Venom and lunges. Cut to release date* The first act could have him fighting Sandman, who is Harry's minion, and getting the black suit. The second act could have Harry showing himself as the Hobgoblin and when Spidy fights him and the black suit convinces him to kill Harry. Disgusted with himself, he figures out how to remove the suit by exposing it to loud sound. He decides once again to give up being Spiderman, but the symbiote finds Eddie Brock (Played by Topher Grace) and the last act has Spiderman putting the suit back on to defeat Venom. In the end he decides to keep on being a hero.
Caught this over at AICN, it's a fan made creation that they put up to continue the Spidey costume debate and show Sony what some of us are thinking. Again, not my pic but I wanted to share since it seems a lot of us either don't like it, or are overall ok with the Black Suit as is (or at least just willing to deal with it) something like this would have made us a bit happier. <a href="http://imageshack.us"><img src="http://img46.imageshack.us/img46/3444/blackenstein6lw.jpg" border="0" width="458" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" /></a> http://www.aintitcool.com/display.cgi?id=22584
See, that to me is far better than what they're doing. And I'm not even a big fan of that, I think it should be all sleek and no texture.
Now that's what I'm talking about right there, baby! First the comic suit, now the movie suit... once again, the fandom one ups Marvel at their own game...
Oooh! Oooh! Just though of something! Maybe the shown costume is the symbiote while in the middle of morphing? eh! EH! BTW that fan edit rocks!
Well one rumor going around (one of like 8 million about S3) and again just a rumor so read at your own risk and/or take with large grain of salt, anyway the rumor is.... That the symbiote actually covers Spidey's original costume, as in Pete in Red/Blue suit covered in black symbiote. As opposed to the symbiote being it's own seperate suit (well at least til it gets to Venom). That might explain the "meh" version of the black suit we've been shown. Well we'll know sooner or later, but I sure wouldn't mind the black suit looking more like that fan version/comic version. Oh well.
That fan made black suit is 1000x better than Raimi version. Let's hope someone will get the pic to him somehow so he will change the looks accordingly.
Why would they want the black costume to be just like the other one just dark? That really makes no sense.
Ditto ... that thing might keep me up for a few nights...anyways , the black suit looks pretty cool in my opinion , but that's just me.
