"The Amazing Spider-Man" Trailer...

Okay, I don't mind Peter Parker being a geek before he was bitten.

But after he was bitten, his strength was exponentially increased, and so I think he should have some muscles with brains.

He did have muscles with those brains; not Hulk-like muscle, but in the books, he never was built like that. His strength is there, though; he grabbed the Roosevelt Island tram with his hand in the first one, remember? He stopped that train from going into the river in the second one...he's not supposed to have Superman-like strength.

True, I don't expect him to have superman muscles, but I hope they show some muscles on Peter Parker. I recall them trying to show that in the first Spiderman. I would like a little more muscles, though, change it up a little instead of going 100% by the book.

We get it, man. You want a little Peter Parker eye candy.

Like this, from the first Raimi movie?

Hmmmn, no, I want Spiderman eye candy - keep the clothes on please.

Yes, like the pic provided in a post above from the first Raimi film, indeed it was being attempted to show him sporting some kind of bulge in the biceps -- but I am one of those that prefer the authenticity of going exactly with the comic runs. I totally understand your point though, and wouldn't necessarily think if they made him look a bit like the comic clip provided in a post above as well it would be a bad thing.

None of us are wrong, of course.

I mean we all have different opinions, which makes discussion more interesting.

I kind of like 'skinny brain gets picked on my muscle dummies --> skinny brain gains muscle, beats the crap out of muscle dummies and gets the girls."

That is why I like the new Henry Cavill Superman - weight training, muscles, masculine Super hero - unlike all the previous superman Sissies in the past.

Getting a director that isn't openly gay might be a step in the right direction towards masculinity, too.

Raimi is out of the closet? I didn't know that...
