Re: \'X3\' Trailer
The image isn't grayscale, but it isn't really color either. It's called a duotone -- an image made up of 2 colors... in this case, blue and black. It helps create a mood for the picture. Looks like Spidey is going to fall on some hard times as symbolized by his pose, the cloudy sky, the rain, and the color scheme.
The costume he's wearing is the standard red & blue. You just can't see the difference between the colors, because red and blue have similar saturation levels. (Can you tell I work at a printing company yet?)
Whether or not Peter uses the Venom symbiote as a costume in SM3 is unknown... but if he does, I hope it looks a damn sight cooler than that picture.
Spidey's black costume (the Venom symbiote) never had the web-outline lines on it. The spider logo was much larger.

From SpiderFan.org (cuz I'm too lazy to type it all, heh):
The symbiote is resistant to most attacks except for high-frequency sound waves.

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
Re-reading my post, it seemed a lot more agressive than I intended. I just thought it would be more in keeping for the character.
I'm not one for violence for violence's sake. Apart from when I watched The Punisher, I thought after the first few minutes that i just wanted to see the bad guys suffer as much as possible. Too bad the film seemed to descend into comic violence.

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
Good eye! However, the Marvel website indicates that he will indeed be shifting costumes to something darker looks like they wanted to tweak the image rather than show the real new costume. Or, maybe the symboite intergrated with his new costume.
http://www.marvel.com/movies/8
Anyhow, for me, black costume=symboite plotline. I do''t know if this will follow the new 'ulitmate' venoms story which was quite a cool retelling, or the classic orginal one.
All this does seems to indicate three bad guys, Green Goblin 2, Sandman and now Venom! That just gives me Batman and Robin flashbacks, you could get a movie about each of those...

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
I watched the trailer for the movie and I cant wait to see it. I mean I dont expect Shakespeare but it should be fun at the very least. And I'll admit Wolverine is one of my favorite X-Men but I think they could do a movie without him. From the looks of it they are finally bringing in Angel. It's too bad they had to wait 3 films to finally get him in since I believe he was one of the original X-Men.
Of course what I would really love to see in an X-Men movie are some Sentinels.

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
Correct. Beast was originally just a bulky guy with big feet. His blue fur sprouting all over his body was a side-effect of some scientific experiment he eventually did on himself, if I remember correctly. Of course now he's experienced a secondary mutation or some such crap and looks like a walking cat with claws so unweildly that he has had to use come kind of mechanical device in order to actually have fine manipulation of objects in order to continue being a scientist.
Is that a joke? In case it's not: Xavier. Professor Charles Xavier, founder of the X-Men.

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
At some point after he finished school, he worked as a scientist for a spy organization called the Brand Corporation. He isolated a chemical that would alter his physiology for a time to grant him anonymity in his investigations. The serum mutated him further, into the blue-furred Beast most people recognize. However, when he stayed too long in this state, McCoy found he was stuck and had to adjust to being a beast in fact as well as in name:
Beast's most recent mutation came after he was seriously injured in a fight. Psylocke (another longtime member of the X-Men) sacrificed her own life to save his. His 3rd mutation was triggered by one of the doctors in order to help him heal. He now looks like this:
I'm really hoping they reverse this mutation. I don't care for it much at all... although recent storylines have hinted that he now has a more primal side that comes out when he gets very angry, as you can see in the picture. So that might be cool. I just don't care for the whole "cat" thing.
As for the Marvel Girl name, I'm just glad they started calling her by her real name. It WAS originated in the 60's, you know.
Yeah, Beast originally looked like this:Wow, didn't realise Beast was an original. IIRC, he wasn't blue then.
Marvel Girl?
Man, I'm glad Superman was never called DC Man.
And who the fuck was Xavier? Prof X?

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
It's been some time since I stopped reading any of the X-books, so I guess it ultimately doesn't matter what I think, but I so agree: Beast as a humanoid cat-person is eyeroll-enducing. As for him having a primal side now that he's physically more animalistic: wow, how original no one's ever had that going for them before.
I guess they started feeling bored by some characters and thought giving them more mutations would mix things up or something. Emma Frost, for example, is not just a mondo telepath anymore, upon further mutation, she can now turn her skin as hard as diamond. (At least this was so at the last time I checked in on what was going on in the world of the X-Men.)

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
I thought they had some pretty unambiguous Wolverine killing in the second movie. When the soldiers invaded the mansion, he was stabbing guys in the chest which isn't the usual "disarm" crap movie heroes usually do.
I don't have much confidence in the next movie given the multiple switches in directors and the lack of time to adjust.
My spiderman, as well as xmen, knowldege comes from the 90's cartoons but spiderman should wear the black costume at some point. The costume may very well be simply a black version of the standard given this is a movie and not a shot for shot translation/nerdgasam.

Re: \'X3\' Trailer
Spiderman has had many costumes in his day, this being my favorite:
Its not the best pic but as you can see he's wearing a Fantastic Four uniform with a bag on his head. It's what he wore after Reed Richard's got the alien symbiote aka Venom off of him the first time. As Spiderman is web-slinging out the Baxter Building, Jonny Storm taped a sign to his back that said 'Kick Me'.

Ahh yes. I remember that. Still better than his newest gold and red costume, courtesy of Tony Stark...
