I ALWAYS agree with you, however this time I will disagree. First off, Spiderman is a 17 year old in this movie, and there are some scenes in which he’s topless, and his arms (specifically the triceps) look rather big. His chest looked lean too. I get what you mean, but can you imagine what jumping, swinging and climbing on a daily basis would do to your body fat? It would be 40% lower in less than a month. In the comics, and especially the Ultimate Spiderman comics which the movie took a lot from, Spiderman always looked rather skinny. Heavily toned, but skinny. He’s not bulky like Batman, Wolverine, Thor or Captain America, since he is also described as a ballet dancer when he is moving around or fighting. All those other characters usually use brute force to fight, while Spiderman is always jumping around and does a lot of evasion stunts in the air or 6 ft above the ground (spinning around and stuff), which means that he must be very light. And he must be very, very flexible, something a bulky body unfortunately doesn’t provide. Your blog is still awesome by the way

I agree. Spider-man doesn’t need to be huge AT ALL. A little effort would’ve been nice though. Great comment, thanks for this David. And thanks for always commenting, really appreciate it. Glad you’re liking the articles.

Just wanted to say that I Absolutely Love your website. Great motivation. Please Keep up the good work!! I totally agree with you on the Spider Man Physique. While it is true. He is not suppose to look anything like the Hulk, Bane, Thor, or even Batman. However, his DNA Was in Fact genetically altered. I believe and agree with David 3rd to post. Garfield should have Definitely put on some Lean Muscle Mass. very similar to Bruce Lee @ the Very Least. The character is still in the beginning of his metamorphosis with his new Powers and is still a high school kid. However, he is something entirely different as well. He is suppose to look like he has Amazing speed and agility. He does not have to look powerful. Spider Man was always much stronger than he appeared. Spider Man was always my favorite. Him and the Hulk. I just feel that the producers did such a good job on the writing, acting, and production of the Movie itself. They should have also made certain the character physically represented and stayed to True to the Physique that belongs to one of the Greatest Comic Book Super Heroes of All Time. However, this is just my opinion.

Bruce Lee would be ideal! Great thought. Ya Garfield’s acting was spot on. That crying face was hilarious, haha, forgot about that.
