7 fans who love Spider-Man's new costume (and 6 who hate it)
Marvel's new Spider-Man (aka Tom Holland) made his debut yesterday in the new Captain America: Civil War trailer and although everyone was desperate to see the new incarnation of the web-slinging hero, not everyone was impressed once they had.
Obviously it's all about the costume (did you see those animated eyes?!), which is much more in keeping with the original depictions of Spider-Man, but while some fans loved the streamlined look, others branded it 'fake' and 'cartoony'. Either way, it's all anyone's talking about, and as always Twitter is the place where opinions go to yell at each other. Feel free to add your own below...
A lot of people complaining about the Spiderman suit probably never saw the 60s cartoon. Nostalgia for some! pic.twitter.com/tjS9uhuTO3March 11, 2016
