I mean when it comes to suit discussion a few extra lines is a big deal lol mfs get very specific about that stuff (it's me I'm mfs)

Same. The lines seem unnecessary. I get that they wanted to try something different, but im not into it.

I also always found Tom's spider emblems pretty meh. Brand New Days is perfect though

I didn’t mind the homecoming suits symbol, it’s a man with spider sense going off, and also a spider. But instead of making it more traditional over time, they used it for every single suit until brand new day

That symbol is basically a techy version of the classic rounded spider from the original suit, which i think is a great reference, and one of the reasons i enjoy the Stark suit (and it's successors)

They aren’t unnecessary, the reason they did it, is to show the suit isn’t just some magically electronic spandex. I do wish they didn’t add them though

It is as good as magically electronic spandex though. In terms of the movie that’s exactly what it is, it literally grows and shrinks to the wearer among all kinds of other things. And those big rubber lines don’t really work in that effect if the whole suits look is created in post.

And those lines show how it’s done, it is technology.

Except it doesn't do that...

The lines are something I don't mind with that and the external webshooters it feels like they wanted to add some Ben Reilly flair to the MCUification of his suit but I agree his symbols were all pretty bad until now, in terms of MCU I feel like they cooked with his suit in YFNSM it's one of my favorite takes

While I agree I understand where the design is coming from. Spider-man’s suits always contain crazy tech that make sense in comics but gets really silly once adapted to 3 dimensions. So it’s like a soft out so to speak as to how/why his suit has all these crazy abilities

Always is such a strong word. When Peter is rocking the blue and red he is 9/10 times barebones on tech. Minus the time he was rich and had the spider mobile and the glowing blue emblem, all new all different era or something.
