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

Feels weird knowing I own a better Spider-Man costume than Marvel now. What the hell happened?! pic.twitter.com/B1l5NLUDcUMarch 10, 2016

There are a lot of other discussions to have about Civil War but I am 100% into Spider-Man's squintable eyesMarch 11, 2016

I question how you sleep at night if you don't think this costume is amazing. #SpiderMan pic.twitter.com/XZN6jKvuw4March 11, 2016

all off the cool costume budget went into black panther thats why spider man looks like a balloon https://t.co/mxdMw39mIzMarch 10, 2016

anyone who judges Spider-Man's costume in the #CivilWar trailer have you even read comics?March 11, 2016

Pretty cool of Marvel to dust off #spider-man’s 1977 costume from mothballs in the basement. pic.twitter.com/JgGta6b8ekMarch 10, 2016

I can't believe they bought Spider-Man's costume from the local grocery storeMarch 10, 2016

Can people stop whining about the new Spider-Man costume and see how marvel is paying respect to the original Spidey pic.twitter.com/Sc3sjouKgfMarch 11, 2016

Marvel treading dangerously close to the Green Lantern line with that spider man costume.March 11, 2016

Not sure about the new Spider-Man costume. True to the comic books but looks out of place in the #Avengers universe pic.twitter.com/mfVgWL8pMFMarch 11, 2016

I can't get over how amazing the new Spider-Man costume looks. It is literally a fucking throw back. I am so happy.March 11, 2016

This expresses my sentiments about the new Spider-Man costume perfectly. pic.twitter.com/r2yomZlwOBMarch 11, 2016

Directed by Joe Russo and Anthony Russo, and starring Chris Evans, Robert Downey, Jr., Scarlett Johansson, Chadwick Boseman, Tom Holland, Anthony Mackie, and Sebastian Stan, Captain America: Civil War opens in UK cinemas on April 29, 2016 and May 6, 2016 in the US.
