"Look at the size of those webshooters!"

While I'm not really that excited either way over the new Spiderman reboot, I will say that at least it looks like they're going in the right direction. They've got a director hot off a critically acclaimed indie flick (500 Days of Summer, which happened to be one of my favorite films of 2009), Andrew Garfield's playing Spidey (a guy who's more than likely going to get an Oscar nod for The Social Network) and last, but not least, what looks like a pretty good take on the Spiderman costume. It's more or less the same as the old one, with some minor tweaks here and there (the gloves being the most different), but the big news about the costume are the artificial web shooters that appear on the gloves (or so I read on the internet, which we all know is never wrong).

Now, I've looked closely at this picture and I can't really tell if there are web shooters on his wrists or not, and to tell you the truth I could care less. I can remember back when the first Spiderman movie came out that many a fanboy were pissed when they revealed that Spiderman would appear in the film sans web shooters and would instead have the ability to shoot webs from his wrists organically.

I for one was not mad at all when they announced this. Honestly, I didn't care one way or another. The idea that a person would be able to shoot webs from his wrists at all, organically or otherwise, is pure fiction...so does it really matter how he does it? We're talking about a comic book film here, people. None of this shit is real anway. SO CHILL THE FUCK OUT!!! But you know how fanboys can be. If something isn't 100% faithful to the source than that means it's dogshit and isn't worth watching and that they need to bitch about it on any and all forums they can find.

Anyway, if they are going with the whole "he created the web shooters himself" thing, I think it'll be interesting to see how they pull it off. As for the look of the costume; I like it. It doesn't look like there's any fake muscle prosthetics or anything like that; besides, Spiderman was never a muscle bound hulk anyway - that's what super strength is for. Another thing about the costume that I like is the way it sort of shines.

I like shiny things...shiny things are purrrrty.
