Comics What would you recommend reading?

• Upvotes

What else is worth reading when it comes to Spider-Man? I stopped at issue #87 of The Amazing Spider-Man (Vol. 1) because it felt drawn-out and boring—that’s just my take, though; you might feel differently. I’ve also read a few specific story arcs, such as The Night Gwen Stacy Died and issues #361–363 (the first appearance of Carnage). I’ve also gone through Kraven's Last Hunt, Ultimate Spider-Man, Maximum Carnage, and Separation Anxiety.

Anyway, that’s everything I wanted to say—assuming I haven’t forgotten anything.

I really enjoyed Ultimate Spider-Man, and right now I’m reading Marvel Knights: Spider-Man, which I’m also really liking (An adult Peter Parker and a more serious narrative — that’s great).

What would you recommend? I’m interested in discovering some new Spider-Man stories.

Discussion Can, could or should Norman Osborn exist in the MCU?

Thumbnail

• Upvotes

This has a question lingering in my mind since NWH and FNSM came out and I feel like pitching the idea of if he is MCU material. Now in NWH, the Raimi Osborn establishes that he doesn't exist in this world nor does his company. But what if MCU Norman wasn't a major public figure like Tony Stark or Justin Hammer? What if Norman was working under someone else, a smart man who believes that he should be the one in charge? You could make it that he was working for Damage Control and seeing what happened to them, he steps up to the plate.

Soon he begins to find ways to take over to be the one in charge and in his ego he rebrands Damage Control into Oscorp Industries. Then when Peter returns to earth after the upcoming Avengers films, he discovers Oscorp and investigates this version of Norman. Finding him completely different from the one he met and fought. However this Norman never becomes The Goblin but instead he has The Hobgoblin as a personal assassin to take out any competition as well as to manufacture public attacks that damages the city so that Oscorp can step in to fix things, building public trust for his company. This could create a similar dynamic from Superman's fight against Lex Luthor. A "I know what you're doing" kind of scenario where Norman denies any accusations.

But that's just me, what do you all think?

This has to be one of the most nothing burger takes I’ve seen. I know people like to slander Tom Holland but this is dumb. And the amount of people who agreed is embarrassing too.

Homecoming: Vulture and Shocker (I don’t exactly think these two count)

Far from Home: Mysterio

No Way Home: Doc Ock, Goblin, Lizard, Electro, Sandman.

Brand New Day: Scorpion, Tombstone, The Hand (they frequently fight with Spider-Man, but they aren’t exactly from his rogues gallery).

If even you don’t count Tobey and Andrew’s villains, that’s still 3 movies with Spider-Man villains. And two of his four movies had them as the primary villain. And they even confirmed that he will get the symbiote at some point, which means we’ll likely get Venom in there as well.

Edit: Do people not realize that even in the comics, Spidey doesn’t really play a role in a lot of villains… well becoming villains? A lot of them are just criminals because they’re either down on their luck and need money, they have a vendetta against someone unrelated to Spider-Man, or because of some freak accident. Spider-Man is just the guy who deals with them, but he doesn’t create them.

Between getting up after multiple hard, several story falls or crashing through or against anything around him while fighting Doc Ock, I remember being blown away as an 11 year old with how fast Spider-Man could bounce back.

Then I gradually learned about some of the stuff he overcame in the comics and I realized this was only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to Spider-Man's durability.

Movies Spider-Man films still criminally underuse women from his mythology.

Post image
360 Upvotes

When I say this, I don't mean that they failed their love interests. I mean that the Spider-Man mythology has a lot of women and for one reason or another they just don't have the chance to be shown. There's no real role for women in Spider-Man films other than the guardian, which is just Aunt May, or the love interest.

It took until Into the Spider-Verse to have a Spider-Woman in Gwen Stacy and a female villain in Olivia Octavius taking the stage, and it took Brand New Day to finally incorporate Jean DeWolff who has a different role from the usual suspects. Hell even the Venom movies finally did something meaningful with Mrs. Chen being a human ally to Venom, but she's an OC created for those movies.

My burning take here is that Sony have failed a lot of them even worse than Disney and Fox failing their Marvel heroine, villainess and supporting characters by just not giving them chances and when they do they end up with some of the most bizarre creative choices like the entirety of Madame Web, or trying to rewrite Silk to pander to male TV viewers before ultimately canning the series.

My latest fandom, Eltingville Club a creator owned comic book series of a club of “friends” who are toxic fans of pop culture. Best place to check it out is the dubs form The One Nerd on YouTube (plus you can also find on YouTube the not picked up adult swim pilot) or the collection digitally on Amazon but all of the comics are in the Nerds Inferno Trade.

The pen-ultimate story has Bill The leader and worse of the group being knocked underneath some shelves, he then musters up the strength to get out of it by channeling the hate he feels for his “friends” in a clear parody of the classic scene from If This Be My Destiny.

Movies All differences in the MCU Spider-Man costumes

Thumbnail

28 Upvotes

I made a similar post with all the Sam Raimi Spider-Man suits a few years ago and a remade version of it recently. I will make a post like this for the Marc Webb Spider-Man suits too after I finally figure out if the suit he wore in NWH is the same as TASM2's suit or not. Thank you to u/Charming-Composer160 and u/EnderGrape for helping me with the 2016 Homemade Suit. This is actually a repost with more information added.

The Raimi Costumes Posts:
-----------------------------

Not all the classic Spider-Man suits in the Raimi Trilogy are the same.

All differences in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man costumes (r/raimimemes)

All differences in the Sam Raimi Spider-Man costumes (r/Spiderman)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Homemade Suit (2016):

Well this is really obvious. This was this suit's first appearance and unfortunately we don't have many good looks at this suit.

1. It's just a simple suit with the red parts being just a mask, a red hoodie, some red on the gloves and web shooters and the boots and shoes. The blue parts just have a full sleeved t-shirt and pants.

2. The costume seems to have dark, dull reds and blues.

3. The eyes they used on the suit are fully black, have straps on the mask and the eyes don't seem to be emotive, though they are implied to be emotive.

4. The spider logo, while McFarlane inspired, it's not as McFarlane inspired as the 2017 version.

Homemade Suit (2017):

Now that we have a much better look at the suit (albeit a bit of a modified version), we can finally,

1. The colors are very much lighter and more vibrant, especially the blues.

2. The spider symbol is a very McFarlane inspired logo, even more McFarlane inspired than the 2016 version.

3. The red sections of the gloves have some black, comic style webbing on them. Overall the gloves are just black and red fingerless gloves (not a good idea for a person who wants to protect his identity).

4. The eyes got a major redesign as the straps on the eyes are gone and they are now black goggles with white lenses and expressive, mechanical frames that move along with his actual eyes. This is a unique aspect about Tom Holland's Spidey suits that carries over to all his later suits as well.

5. The web shooters are silver, bulky, comic style web shooters unlike the tiny ones from the Marc Webb suits which had designs unique to those films.

Stark Suit (2016):

This was a very comic book inspired suit with some minor MCU-fications to make the suit unique to this version of Spider-Man. This suit looks different in three of its five appearances.

1. The suit's webbing is a lot less prominent and they are shaped uniquely as the horizontal web lines are split into two, closely packed webs. They are shiny and slightly indented into the suit.

2. The colors on this version of the suit are the dullest out of all its appearances thought it could just be due to the grey color grading of the film.

3. Unlike its future appearances, the front spider logo is a lot flatter.

4. The extra black details are at their least prominent here. In the future appearances, they become shinier, slightly more raised and overall just much more prominent.

5. The back logo is a very comic inspired fat spider with the legs pointing down. It has a circular detail within it.

6. The web shooters are new, hi-tech web shooters. They're black in color and still a bit bulky but extremely streamlined compared to his previous web shooters.

7. His belt features prominent web cartridges which are seen for the first time in a Spider-Man film.

8. The blue parts have some tech details unique to this suit.

9. The belt is unique as it ends at a straight line instead of a traditional pointy tip or a curved belt like TASM2.

10. Something introduced by this suit is a dotted texture which replaces the hexagonal brick patterns from the Raimi suits and TASM2's suit and the honeycomb pattern from TASM1.

11. The expressive, mechanical eyes are back again, this time in a traditional Spidey style shape.

Stark Suit (2017):

While it's canonically supposed to be the same suit, it has some differences for some reason. This version of the suit returns in both Spider-Man: Far From Home and Spider-Man: Brand New Day.

1. The colors are a lot more vibrant this time.

2. The tech details are more visible this time.

3. The extra black details have become shinier and slightly more raised and overall just more prominent.

4. The webs are less prominent this time compared to the previous suit.

5. The spider logo has become slightly more raised to give more emphasis on the fact that it's a small drone, something revealed in this film.

6. This suit has retractable web wings that comes out from the armpit area and reaches till the thighs.

7. When Instant Kill mode is activated, the eyes turn fully black with red glowing 'pupils' coming in, giving Spider-Man a threatening look.

Iron Spider (2017):

This is a very unique interpretation of the Iron Spider as it looks like the Stark Suit but with some major changes.

1. It's a nanotech armor, so it's a shiny, metallic armor.

2. The armor has a much different type of texture on both the red and blue parts.

3. It has much darker reds and blues and it has some gold details as well.

4. The logo is a dark blue, very Ben Reilly-inspired logo with gold rims on it.

5. The horizontal webs do not split up like on the Stark Suit and they are placed a bit differently, with some places like the shoulders not even having any sort of webbing.

6. When the armor is deactivated, the eyes are white unlike the later appearances.

7. The webbing is indented and dark red in color.

8. The extra details on the blue parts are raised.

9. The web shooters are much more streamlined compared to the Stark Suit. They also have some gold on them.

10. There are no exposed web cartridges this time like the Stark Suit.

Stark Suit (2018):

While still basically being the same suit, it has two differences compared to the Homecoming version of the suit, which is suit mostly is.

1. The eyes are a bit bulbous compared to the flat eyes from the Civil War and Homecoming versions of the suit.

2. The back logo lacks the circle shape from the previous incarnations of the suit.

Iron Spider (2018):

Another suit that's supposed to be the same as the one from the previous appearance, but looks a bit different.

1. The eyes were grey when the armor is deactivated unlike Homecoming where it was white and when it is activated, the eyes and some parts of the suit glow either a very bright blue, a slightly duller blue or a bluish grey.

2. The waldoes are not fully gold like in the comics as they have a bit of blue on them.

3. The web shooters change looks occasionally for some reason. Sometimes it's the streamlined version of the Homecoming web shooters. In Infinity War, the nozzles are shown to have red lights on them. Then sometimes it's the bulky gold gauntlets with the nozzle part of the gauntlets being black like the previous web shooter design and sometimes it's the gold gauntlets but without the nozzles. That part is just red. Odd thing to do.

4. The button for shooting the webs from the web shooter is sometimes a clear gray and sometimes it faintly glows blue.

5. The texture from the 2017 version of the Iron Spider was almost fully gone. They're only on the spider symbol now.

Iron Spider (Avengers: Endgame, 2019):

1. For some reason, the webs on the armor has become slightly more indented and has become black instead of the darker red from the previous looks of the armor.

2. While the glowing parts did glow bright, they also glowed a faint blue and the eyes glowed a faint red during Instant Kill mode.

3. The eye lenses have a dotted pattern on it.

Iron Spider (Spider-Man: Far From Home, 2019):

1. The webs are back to being dark red again and less indented than the Endgame version.

2. The glowing parts are a bit fainter than usual but still bright.

3. The colors of the armor has changed as they have become much more vibrant.

Night Monkey Suit:

Another super obvious suit here.

1. It's mostly just an all-black S.H.I.E.L.D. suit but with a fully covered mask, with the eyes being straight up Spider-Man eyes, with the white lenses being the only non-black part of the design.

2. He has fingerless gloves which make no sense as Peter doesn't want his identity revealed.

Bosco Suit (2019):

This is visually a heavily modified version of the Stark Suit, so there are some similarities.

1. The reds are slightly pinkish this time while the blue sections are changed to being black as a reference to Spider-Man's first appearance suit from Amazing Fantasy #15.

2. The webbing is back to having the split horizontal webs.

3. The red parts maintain the dotted texture but the black parts have a completely different texture that almost resemble grid-like webs.

4. The front logo has gotten a redesign. It's shaped a bit differently and has increased a bit in size and has some white details on it.

5. The back logo is now similar to the front logo instead of looking like a comic style logo and it's a fully white logo, seemingly inspired by the Insomniac Advanced Suit.

6. The bulky web shooters are replaced with just black web shooter nozzles with white details.

7. The belt has been streamlined as the belt just has two black bands on them instead of the cartridges being visible.

8. The arms are redesigned so much that there is barely any red on it. The hands have a fingerless glove look to them where the fingers are red but the palms are black.

Bosco Suit (2021):

This is canonically the same suit as the previous one but it has some minor differences for some reason.

1. The red section on the torso has narrowed down slightly.

2. The belt got a major redesign as the extra black details were taken away and the belt's shape was changed into a traditional, pointy tipped belt.

3. The front logo's white details are way more prominent now.

Iron Spider (2021):

This is canonically a remade version of the armor so it makes sense that this has some differences.

1. The armor has become very shiny and almost mirror-like.

2. The web shooter's buttons do not glow anymore.

3. The gold gauntlet-style web shooters are used here and the black nozzles are brought back this time.

4. The blue lights on the armor are not as bright as it was in some of its earlier appearances but still bright.

Black And Gold Suit:

1. This is just a black and gold version of the 2021 Bosco Suit. The red and blue sections are fully black while the black and white details (except for the eyes) are changed to gold.

2. The wiring and circuitry is visible here as the suit is now inside out. Though this raises the question, how did Peter actually wear this suit? Where did all the wires go? Could it be an uncomfortable suit to wear?

3. The right arm has a gold gauntlet that Doctor Strange made using the Iron Spider. This gauntlet allows Spider-Man to shoot a magic webline which can transport people into Strange's magic cell.

Integrated Suit:

Probably the most unique suit in the films yet due to how it was made. This suit is just the remaining Iron Spider nanites that were on Doctor Octopus' arms returning to Spider-Man while he was wearing the 2021 Bosco Suit.

1. The 2021 Bosco Suit gained some extra details. It has some gold details, with the biggest and most obvious one being the gold version of the Iron Spider logo. While the Iron Spider has a dark blue logo with gold trims, this one is the opposite as it's a gold logo with dark blue trims, making this suit look closer to the comic Iron Spider more than the actual Iron Spider funnily enough.

2. Unlike the 2021 Iron Spider, which was used for making this suit, the gold on this suit is rather dull.

3. The suit also gained some extra red details, which is strange, especially since they are matte and not metallic.

Final Swing Suit:

This suit represents the evolution of Spider-Man as he truly became Spider-Man. This suit is said to be inspired by both Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's suits and you can see that a bit.

1. The split webbing changed to traditional, singular webs. They still maintain the shine.

2. Both the front and back spider logos are very reminiscent of Tobey Maguire's post-2002 red and blue front spider logos.

3. The black parts which originally replaced the blues on the Bosco Suit are now back to being blue, this time a much lighter and very metallic blue.

4. The textures are the same from the Bosco Suit as the red sections retain the dotted texture while the blue sections retain the texture from the black sections of the Bosco Suit.

5. The formatting on the torso is basically the one from the Bosco Suit but without the extra black details.

6. The arms are very traditionally done instead of the Bosco Suit's version where the arms barely had any red on them. Here they are done very traditionally. The bottom part of the blue part on the arms doesn't stretch till his forearm. It also slants down instead of going straight horizontally, similarly to TASM2's suit.

7. The concept art and promo art seems to be implying that the logo is actually a dark, gold type color, maybe a black coated gold logo? Not sure. Some people say it's just a gold shine, some say it's a gold/bronze logo. Who knows at this point?

Stark Tech (2016) Unused Suit:

While this suit was used during the shooting of Captain America: Civil War, it was covered in CGI and was made to look like the current Stark Suit and while this suit never had any physical appearances in any of the films, a photograph of it actually appeared in a blink-or-miss shot in Spider-Man: Brand New Day, making this suit officially canon in the MCU.

1. A notable feature of this suit is the thick, raised webbing. It seems to be even more raised than the raised webbing from Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man suits and Andrew Garfield's TASM2 suit. They're also not shiny at all and are rather matte.

2. The eye frames are very glassy and shiny, which is very interesting and it's never been seen in any other Tom Holland Spider-Man suit.

3. The colors are very much darker and the eye lenses are not as white and kind of a super light grey.

4. The front logo is a very John Romita Sr. inspired logo with the upper legs facing down, though the lower legs still maintain a slight bit of distance from the upper legs. The back logo is done a bit uniquely as the upper legs are connected to the head of the spider instead of the body.

5. The extra black details on the suit are done differently as they are a lot sharper and thicker than the final version of the suit.

6. The web cartridges on the belt has some red on the upper and lower tips.

7. The belt has the traditional, pointy tipped belt and doesn't have much webbing on it which is especially noticeable on the back.

8. The web shooters are very simplified and streamlined compared to the final version.

9. The tech details on the blue sections are very subtle this time and not very visible at time.

10. There seems to be no texture on this suit as the fabric seems rather thick and even kinda rubbery.

11. The face shell used on this suit seems to be a bit too round and rather ball-like.

Brand New Day Suit:

This suit takes some inspiration from Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's suits like the Final Swing suit, but it's way more visible here, though the Andrew Garfield inspirations are way more visible.

1. The texture completely changed. From the dotted texture and the grid-like web type texture to no texture at all, this suit has gone back to basics and uses the hexagonal brick pattern from the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man suits and Andrew Garfield's TASM2 suit.

2. The webbing is now raised and while it's not as raised as the Civil War Unused Suit's webbing, they're shiny like Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield's raised webbing and Tobey's NWH suit's webbing wasn't as raised as before and was more comparable to Andrew's TASM2 suit in terms of how raised the webs were.

3. The logos are modified versions of the Final Swing suit logos but this time the lower legs are longer like TASM2's logos. The front logo is also fused to the webbing on this suit. The legs have a slight bit more distance between each other, though the upper legs seem to be connected to each other in a weird way. But that could just be the webs. The back logo also has a black outline on it. The front logo's placement is also a bit lowered like TASM2's front logo, though it's not as lowly placed as TASM2's front logo.

4. The eyes are less expressive and also a bit bigger. The lenses are slightly clear as we can see Peter's eyes in some shots of the film.

5. The web shooters have gotten a massive redesign as they now kind of resemble shiny, silver door hinges and have tiny green lights on them. They are removable and Peter doesn't use them when he uses his organic webs in the film.

6. The formatting of the blue parts of the suit is basically just a modified version of TASM2 suit's format. Only the formatting of the boots were taken from the Final Swing suit. The chest and the back part right below the neck are basically curved versions of TASM2's formatting on those areas while the belt is curved like TASM2's belt but it still has a slight pointy tip unlike the fully curved belt from TASM2.

7. The webbing placement is done rather differently as some parts of the webbing are a bit closer than the others.

8. The blue sections, while still metallic, are not as metallic as the Final Swing suit and longer a fully metallic material. Instead, the hexagonal brick pattern on them is shiny like Spider-Man 3's Symbiote Suit (which was covered in the shiny hexagonal brick pattern) and TASM2's suit.

To conclude this, this was a very fun post to make. I had a blast making that post about the Tobey Maguire Spider-Man suits and I can say the same about the Tom Holland Spider-Man suits too. Now I just need to figure out if Andrew Garfield wore the same suit from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 in Spider-Man: No Way Home or if it's a different suit. Andrew says that it's the same suit while Sanja Milkovic Hays says that they had to remake both Tobey and Andrew's suits so I don't know who to trust and if this really is a remade suit or not. But overall, this was a fun post to make and I hope to make more posts like this.
