You know the bottom one is 2018 and E3 is the top, right?

So let's start:

1) The change in lighting leaves the suit less defined. There is musculature on Spidey's right arm and right leg that is visible in the E3 shot that is not visible in the final.

2) The lighting change also removes the gradient color in both the red and blue of the costume. If you look at his right leg, it's a lighter blue because it's in brighter light. Similarly the red on his right arm and head show more shades thanks to the better lighting in the E3 shot.

3) If you look at the left side of Spidey's neck, where it joins the torso, there's an attempt to make the costume wrinkle as though it were fabric. That detail is now lost and does not appear to be a lighting change.

None of which touches the issue of the puddle on the ground which goes from blanketing the area in a giant "O" shape, with reflections of the buildings and the bad guys, to barely being on the right and the top, eliminating reflections entirely.

There's no question the E3 shot (top) looks better than 2018 (bottom).
