1. He uses the web shooters in the comics too. The whole point is to illustrate that he is smart as fukk, not to mention the fact that it takes away the convenient "if all else fails swing away with unlimited organic web" when he is in trouble. Makes fights and the story more suspenseful and dramatic.

Smart? The web shooters in this movie was stolen technology. All he did was put it into a wrist shooter. Had they left it out, there are plenty of instances in this movie where his smarts are being displayed. It was half-ass like much of the film.

Had he come up with the idea himself: the formula, changed the fluid mid-fight to deal with a powerful opponent, it would have shown his skill. This film threw the web shooters in there as a "glowing, smokey, gas pressured" mimic just to be different.

2. Organic web in 1st movie doesn't even make sense. Sure it is cool and all (it didn't bother me that much) but think about it - dude conveniently gets aaall of a spider's powers yet he looks the same, and the web just happen to be in his wrist ready for him to use? Spiders don't shoot webs outta their limbs.

Spider's dont have super-strength. Spiders dont have superspeed. Spider's dont have super durability. Even if you were to scale a spider up to Human scale, it wouldnt have these abilities because of the square cube law. Spiders cling to walls not just because they have specially designed hair, its because they are small and practically have no real weight to fight against gravity. Dont use science and logic to defend Spider-man cuz you'll lose.

3. How does organic web break off? When he swings around, he switches from web to web, but if that shyt is coming from his veins or whatever does it just automatically break off when he mentally wills it? Too convenient. At least with mechanical shooters we know he designed it that way.

You realize spiders shot web too right. However they can do it he does it. Hence "Spider-man"

4. Variations of his webs can be introduced depending on the situation, he has developed stronger versions of his webs, or like customized for certain foes.

That's just me tho, but imo web shooters > organic web.

Too bad the film didnt care enough to explore it in the film. At the end of the day whether Spider-man had organic or tech web shooters, the spirit of the film would not have changed. The addition of the this film's tech web shooters brought nothing to the film besides glowing wrists.

All yall are unrightfully shyttin on this movie. Nobody appreciates the fact that their taking their time with the story and that its a million times closer to the comic than the Tobey Maguire films. If you know anything bout spiderman you would know that Gwen Stacy was his first girlfriend

Spoiler

and she obviously will die in the next one(which they will introduce MJ)

Also it showed he was vulnerable. He wasnt full potential spidey right out the gate. LIke at the end when he needed the cranes to get to the Oscorp tower. A season spidey would make it their easy. They are slowly exploring the spidey universe. Read this and go back and watch it and imm sure you will appreciate it more.

Other than Gwen Stacy and useless web shooters how was this film any more closer to the comics than the first one?

Also dont defend that crane scene because it was shytty. shytty music and a shytty attempt to copying the bridge scene in the first movie. Raimi's scene was created because post-911 New York solidarity. Why was this scene created? 10 minutes ago cops where shooting his ass, one shot him, and now they're setting up road blocks for him? Also, your in NYC, a city with the most skyscrapers in the world yet you need cranes to swing on

The cops didnt set up the cranes. The guy whose kid he saved from the van was a construction worker and he set it up. In the comics Peters in high school for a long part of the storyline. In the first movie he was only in high school for the 1st 15 minutes.

He stole the parts, he assembled it himself. It even showed him testing it out in his room when he first put it together and the webbing went all over the place. Granted it was a quick montage and they didn't exactly spend a lot of time focusing on it but the point still stands.

Plus like I said, it'd give writers the challenge to explore different scenarios instead of having the ready made cop out of "why don't he just swing away" or "why didn't he save her with the web". Cuz in that case people would cry about plot holes and shytty writing.

Spider's dont have super-strength. Spiders dont have superspeed. Spider's dont have super durability. Even if you were to scale a spider up to Human scale, it wouldnt have these abilities because of the square cube law. Spiders cling to walls not just because they have specially designed hair, its because they are small and practically have no real weight to fight against gravity. Dont use science and logic to defend Spider-man cuz you'll lose.

The spider that bit him was genetically modified with traits from many different spiders. There are spiders that have strength, speed and durability relative to their size. I am citing reasons why organic webbing would be too convenient and why the source material and all canon spider-man comics have always had him use web shooters.

You realize spiders shot web too right. However they can do it he does it. Hence "Spider-man"

Yes, spiders make webs. But like I said, it is too convenient that it happens to come from his wrist in his human form and they never explained how it works. If you are cool with the answer "a spider bit him, this all just happened because" then cool. But there are people who wonder how it would work and why they never explained it etc. Web shooters have the explanation of him designing it himself built in with it.

Plus anyways, if you wanna be technical about it - spider web is made of strands of protein. So if a spider is starving or injured it may not be able to produce web. Which means it can't be making web infinitely in any given situation. Yet we all saw in the previous trilogy where organic web is introduced that even when Peter is beaten to a pulp he still shooting out perfectly normal webbing and stuff.

Too bad the film didnt care enough to explore it in the film. At the end of the day whether Spider-man had organic or tech web shooters, the spirit of the film would not have changed. The addition of the this film's tech web shooters brought nothing to the film besides glowing wrists.

This is the origin film. Dude just got his powers and developed the prototype web shooters. He is still figuring out this hero thing as evidenced by the crane scene where he needed help. He isn't gonna be making customized webbing and shyt on his first gig, that would be ridiculous. The addition of web shooters, if for nothing else, is to stay faithful to the source material ... cuz you know, they are making these movies based directly on the spider-man comics.

Answers in bolded.

The cops cleared the way for the cranes and cheered as Pete swung by. Everyone was working together.

ummmmm breh did you or did you not watch the movie? That was after Captain Stacy found out Peter was spiderman and told his men to stand down. Also if you watch the cops had nothin to do with the cranes. PAY fukkIN ATTENTION SLOW MINDED PEOPLE BEFORE YOU MAKE IRRELEVANT DUMB fukkIN ARGUMENTS ABOUT NOTHING

My point is that if you gloss over his web shooters, you miss the point of having them there in the first place. Peter's ingenuity and his dependence on his smarts. This movie failed in both cases. There was no explanation why he created web shooters and he had unlimited ammo. Its exactly the same as organic shooter minus the glowing red light and puff.

A high school student can resemble a computer, with no manual, if he puts enough time into it; that doesn't necessarily show that he's smart, especially if you montage it.

You're mixing the mythos of Raimi's Spider-man(which doesnt makes sense scientific sense either) with Webb's Spider-man. I've the movie twice. There is no mention of those spiders being any more stronger/faster than normal spiders. They were being bred for their silk. Pete's power set in the comics were convenient because of shytty scientific writing, ASM's Pete's power set is convenient because of half assing, Raimi's Pete's power set is convenient because of lazy execution. So if you're hung up on the organic webs not being explained, what abou this whole movie?

Thats not how Spider silk works but i understand what you're saying. Either way both versions of Spider-man had unlimited ammo. Aint shyt change.

And no they did not make this film based directly on the comics regardless of what Coli heads say. This film is just as different from the comic Spiderman as Raimi's films. Particularly Pete's behavior and motivations. He's practically a mumbling James Dean.

breh i got the time code. Around an 1:44 into the flick. Spiderman swings low enough so that he's swinging car level. A pig on a bike parks and front of oncoming traffic and puts his hand out as Spiderman swings by. Hell, i'll find a link for you if you don't believe me. Stacy told him men to hold their fire and I didnt say the cops had anything to do with the cranes. Focus breh

your contradicting the fukk out of yourself seriously. You obviously didnt see the movie or you cant comprehend anything. Peters father was a scientist so hes more naturally inclined to science idiot. He also explains that hes passionate about science. He also walks into the Biocable room (where they make the cables from the spider webs) where he sees the cartridges on the counter (but you obviously didnt see this part)What you want is for them to go into every spec and direct detail into how he makes it but....why? Not everybody is as slow as you. Just pay attention.

If that's what you think, fair enough.

A high school student can resemble a computer, with no manual, if he puts enough time into it; that doesn't necessarily show that he's smart, especially if you montage it.

He wasn't reassembling tho. He got the parts and put it together his way. Thats more like a high school student buying parts of computers and made a new device with it or something.

Did they say they were bred for their silk? I don't remember exactly but if that is the case then my bad. But I mean if it was an ordinary spider how would he get his powers lol? I am unsure about this but I'll take your word for it, maybe I glossed over the fact cuz I just assumed everyone was familiar with how Pete got his powers

Thats not how Spider silk works but i understand what you're saying. Either way both versions of Spider-man had unlimited ammo. Aint shyt change.

What do you mean both versions? Web shooter spider-man doesn't have unlimited ammo lol

And no they did not make this film based directly on the comics regardless of what Coli heads say. This film is just as different from the comic Spiderman as Raimi's films. Particularly Pete's behavior and motivations. He's practically a mumbling James Dean.

But they couldn't have done so without making the movie seem too identical to the first one. Like the wrestling scene and all that. Most of us however do seem to feel like this movie captured the essence of Spider-Man being a wisecracking kid in high school who's fresh being a hero after his uncle died, as opposed to Raimi's where he is crying and mopping every other scene. Obviously the film has its flaws, most people praising it have pointed that out, but imo a lot of the hate is unwarranted.

what you talking about? i dont even know what you're arguing against. where did i say Peter wasnt a science fiend. i flat out mention the web cartridges when i said Peter stole them.

Jesus breh are you that simple minded??? like really you dont seem to have any comprehension of the movie your watching or the shyt that your reading. Just stop breh. Stop

 

[Fillerguy]

I just see it as corner cutting. As you said, they should go more into the shooters next film.

Did they say they were bred for their silk? I don't remember exactly but if that is the case then my bad. But I mean if it was an ordinary spider how would he get his powers lol? I am unsure about this but I'll take your word for it, maybe I glossed over the fact cuz I just assumed everyone was familiar with how Pete got his powers

to be fair the creators properly did this on purpose because everyone is so familiar with Spider-man. chalk it up to me nitpicking personally i dont really how he gets his powers. in the comics is been scientific and mystical. the film never said the Spiders were bred for silk but they were placed in a room where their silk was being extracted and.....thats it. Pete gets bit and its never explored again.

What do you mean both versions? Web shooter spider-man doesn't have unlimited ammo lol

Does he ever run out of ammo, do they mention he has ammo Its like Hershel in walking dead or Legolas in Lord of Lords. Technically they dont have unlimited ammo but we never seem them run out of ammo. shyt even isnt a problem.

But they couldn't have done so without making the movie seem too identical to the first one. Like the wrestling scene and all that. Most of us however do seem to feel like this movie captured the essence of Spider-Man being a wisecracking kid in high school who's fresh being a hero after his uncle died, as opposed to Raimi's where he is crying and mopping every other scene. Obviously the film has its flaws, most people praising it have pointed that out, but imo a lot of the hate is unwarranted.

I know I seem very critical of the movie but I dont think its a bad movie. I originally gave it a B-; the stan in me wants to give it a C+. On Rotten tomatoes its recieveing like 74%. I'm just pointing out its just as flawed as the first film, just in its own way. And Raimi's Peter didnt start that crying shyt until the 3rd film. He only cried when Ben was dying in his arms in the first film and only cried in a dream sequence in the 2nd. He was never moppy. This Pete is moppy 70% of the film.

 

[Fillerguy]

Jesus breh are you that simple minded??? like really you dont seem to have any comprehension of the movie your watching or the shyt that your reading. Just stop breh. Stop

are you bytching just to act like a hoe because you cant seem to explain why you have problems with what I wrote.
