I have a hard time believing that if I saw that design in a world where Spider-Man wasn't a thing that I'd actually find it bad. I may not find it to be one of the greatest superhero designs ever like I do Spider-Man's actual costume. But I don't think the white spider would stick out so much.

It's the black costume's logo on the regular suit. It's not a good look.

I guess I'm one of the crazy ones because to me it's a really cool costume with the white accents. I mean I've seen Spideys costume since forever, keeping 90% of it and adding a flair isn't the worst thing in the world.
Why is it unholy to like costumes other than the standard one for Spider-Man again?

I think there's lots of great spiderman costumes out there, the black suit rules, even the Scarlet Spider outfits are pretty cool. Miles' costume is great too. This isn't bad because it's not the classic look, it's bad because it's actually bad.

Make the white parts black and it's instantly a good costume. The white is just too jarring.

I suppose that's fair but I could have sworn I saw someone post something about knowing how bad a medium is by how far from the standard costume it goes. If people just think it's ugly on its own merit well that I understand. I thought it was a how dare you change his costume thing and it was kinda throwing me off.

I feel like doing that would take away the uniqueness of the thing. Although with games being how they are nowadays it'l probably change colors as your moral compass a la infamous

Here's a very bad edit in photoshop I made instead of working just now.



I also made the white on his arms red while I was at it.

I still don't like the weird segmented parts on his outfit, it reminds me of those awful New 52 outfits.

I'm just glad someone put a name to them because I didn't know what the gently caress to call them. I know a lot of heroes and villains really REALLY liked to wear them for about 20 or 30 years.

Aw, thank you. I consider it a lovely job because the textures don't match at all and you can see harsh edges and smudges if you zoom in. I usually do a cleaner job than that, but I was feeling impatient.

IMO the white logo would work with a thick black border, so it echoes his eyes

It still looks terrible because now the logo is indistinct. I don't think the problem was it being white so much as the rest of the suit being too busy for the white to be prominent enough like it is on the black suit, and reducing it to black just makes it blend in, so sure it's no longer as eye catching but you could also just swap it out for more piping.

It's either Kirby or Toth, so that nipple-spike counts as classic comics art from a master of the medium.

Great, now it's indistinguishable from any of the other dozens of costumes he has that are really just a minor variation of his normal suit

Nah, his suit looks way better.



No weird shoulder segments or misguided plating, the red goes all around his chest so the spider doesn't get lost in the dark blue, and the red pant stripe reaches the bottom of his suit. It's simple and elegant.

The only bad thing is the weird gloves.

Because it's a game by NetherRealm who doesn't give a poo poo about anything except their games and not some artist wanting to make a movie. Literally the only reason this is being made is so they can make more Mortal Kombat.
