Dramatic Teaser Poster Arrives for The Amazing Spider-Man

The teaser trailer and now this poster heavily imply there’s a big subplot about Peter’s parents in the movie. Maybe that whole “secret agents” thing will be brought over from the ’90s comics.

That shadow doesn’t even make sense. The awkward position a spider’d have to be in to cast that is ridiculous.

untold story?

It’s a visual device that’s obviously not supposed to represent a real spider’s shadow. I mean sure, a spider might have trouble casting that shadow, but in the image a person is casting it which is obviously not realistic. Your criticism makes little to no sense. What are you talking about?

Wow, some people will bitch about anything.

He looks like he’s taking a dump. A giant spider shaped dump. And what untold story will they tell? How Hollywood is do bereft of ideas it reboots super hero franchises every ten years?

You do realize that I said nothing about the fact that Peter could never possibly cast that shadow ever (unless they were doing Man-Spider)? I now it’s not supposed to be realistic. Doesn’t stop me from thinking that about the shadow’s position.

Wow, some people have no manners.

that’s right … the fact that a kid getting bitten by a spider that then transforms him into a superhero is quite readily accepted, but the lighting is what ruins it??????

gotta love internet posters

It’s a poster of a Superhero, everything about it makes no sense…that’s why it’s a
Movie! Boys, get off the couch and go outside and play…Youre all being ridiculous.

Yep, like random anons attacking other people for voicing their thoughts.

Jacob, shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, the adults are talking.

Lol guys, all he said was that the shadow didn’t make sense, but he clearly thinks the poster is super cool. He didn’t mean it in a bad way.

This. This is why people make fun of comic book “fans”.

This. This is why people don’t like douchebags.

I like it. I’m sure its more about showing the logo than using a realistically cast spider shadow.

Duh? Doesn’t stop it from being awkward.

Duh? Doesn’t stop it from being awkward.

But you did say something about how a spider could never cast that shadow, which makes absolutely no sense, since there’s not even an actual spider in the photo.

So the shadow makes even less sense? I never said that a spider was actually casting that shadow, simply that in order to cast that shadow, a spider would need to be in a ridiculous pose. It’s quite obvious that Peter is casting that shadow and that they were going for symbolism and impact over realism.
