Seriously dude, just admit you're wrong. Tobey was not buff in the beginning of the film, then he got buff AFTER he was bit and got his powers. That scene in the mirror is AFTER he was bit.

It's Ok to be wrong. :)

they'll give him some baggy clothes ast first, so his muscles aren't obvious... anyways he is not buff at all, he is just ripped, like spider-man should be

He's most likely already going to be Spiderman at the beginning of the film. Didn't they already say there would be no origin story?

"Please keep moaning,"

he must know that he is such a half empty glass kinda guy. i guess whatever it takes to draw attention.

foxtrot complained about the casting choice saying he is too young even though peter parker is young. now he's complaining about being buff even though he is still 110 pounds.

i will never understand why being negative 90% of the time is necessary

You have an opinion for EVERYTHING on this domain, foxtrot. EVERYTHING. And 98% of the time you're complaining. People are tired of it. It's not about just having a different opinion. You're just always whining or criticizing about something.

well considering he will will be playing spiderman he needs to bulk up. seriously dude say something positive for once

Well, they could always pull a Captain America and make him scrawny. Though from what I understand, there's no origin, so he'll be spiderman from the start, in which case him being buff-er makes a little more sense.

As for the real reason, sex sells and marvel has been very transparent with their BUFF NO SHIRT policy for male characters, so there's always that.
