Spider-Man's Squinty Eyes Possibly Explained!

Smile!

O ye, of little faith!

Yeah, that applies to yours truly and my other cohorts and Cosmic Book News!

Earlier today, I wrote up an article how we weren’t too thrilled with the look of the new Marvel Tom Holland Spider-Man costume revealed in the Captain America: Civil War trailer (watch below), which quickly went viral (see the below Facebook post). My main gripe was the movement of the Spider-Man eyes, as I felt it came off too cartoonish and didn’t make a lot of sense.

However, now a rather possible fathomable explanation has been pointed out to me that, if true, is actually really cool about the Spider-Man eyes.

DC Comics and Marvel artist Brad Walker pointed out on his Twitter that the squinty eyes of Spider-Man could be — camera lenses! So it’s possible what we see in the trailer is the Spider-Man eyes actually snapping photographs of The Avengers in action! Fans of Spider-Man will recall that Peter used to have a belt camera, and we do see this version of the costume is spot on with the comics, so Marvel Studios may simply have given the Spider-Man eyes a more contemporary upgrade. Makes a lot of sense. It’s also been pointed out by a few of you that this Spider-Man costume could be an early version created by Peter Parker with further upgrades to come.

I suppose we have Nolan to blame for our ultra-realistic snobby opinions!

Update: Check out a cool fan manip below of what the Spider-Man eyes might look like with the lenses fully open.

Squint complainers: you accepted all along that he had a tiny camera on his belt buckle, taking pictures through… https://t.co/Dot2TlBGAU
