...But the suit has changed many times over the past 50 years... Also I can't tell whether or not you think the suit is what I'm referring to but if they're that worried about selling merch they can just give him the classic suit. At least at first, maybe later in the movie he decides to make his own. |
The thing is the majority of people know only about one version of Spiderman, the traditional: red, blue and white costume, Peter Parker photographer, a bit geeky, with great power comes gret responsability... It's too ingrained in popular culture to change anything. I was surprised when they used Gwen Stacey over Mary Jane in the rebooted version. But that is just a relatively minor character. If you change the identity of your main hero (maybe for the clone saga one, the ultimate replacement, the Doc Oc fiasco of Superior Spiderman...) you are going to get backlash, even if everything works flawlesly.
