Well, we all know that there is going to be a Spider-man reboot, (entitled The Amazing Spider-man, obviously). But the question is will web shooters work in the movie?

First of all, the reason it is mechanical is because in nature spiders do not shoot webs. Instead they spin them, similar to the way your grandmother knits a Christmas sweater. Before Steve Ditko came along and made the Spiderman we all know and love today, Jack Kirby made Spider-man have a web gun and a web shield. If it weren't for Steve Ditko then we would be arguing if he should have a web gun or organic webs.

In the first "Spider-Man" movie back in 2002, Sam Raimi thought that the web shooters were too advanced for a high school teenager to make. The way I see it if he could walk on walls because a radioactive spider bit him then he can make his own web shooters. Besides, even if it was organic then it would come out of his...well...his ass. Like I said with a teenager having spider powers, having web shooters doesn't seem so impossible. That's just my opinion

I have to agree with the webshooters. Although, organic webshooters our of his wrist, like in the sam raimi series, would be cool.

I'm assuming you didn't read the comment section on the article at this website that first revealed the webshooters in this movie. This argument already took place there and with a lot more people. The main argument was whether the web-shooters or organic webbing was more realistic. Personally, I think neither of them are but if I had to choose I would say the webshooters are more realistic. In the end, though, it's a Spider-Man movie why does it have to be realistic why can't they just follow the sourc material on something that simple.

webshooters all the way. that had to be one of the biggest things that upset me from the first movie. It took away so much from who peter parker was to me. but i am really glad they are putting them in this one

Why is this called Spider-man:Web Shooters Or Organic? It's actually: web shooters are better. Now everyone agree with me as planned.

Web Shooters. People who want organic are retards who need to read a comic book.

Organic: if he's so smart why doesn't he invent something that makes them well-off. They don't even write/place him in accelerated classes in any of the high school scenarios! Not to mention, in context, if he did develop such amazing webbing, how much would the materials cost? Why don't the webshooters get crushed whenever someone with superhuman strength grabs him?
Not trying to be a negative Nelly. Organic would explain the webs short term existence (much more easily).

marvelguy Exactly. He's a Spider-man, he shoots unlimited webbing organically. It's simple. A Spider-man building a web maker is like a dude building mechanical teeth after getting bit by a radioactive wolf.

The webs were going to be organic in the begining but they thouht it made Peter more creepy and/or monster like back then. And if theres so much of a fuss about the shooters, their should be scenes where he runs out of it or it becomes a factor in some way during the movie. All of this is dumb anyway. This thread is pretentious. You already know he has shooters in the movie and you already like that idea. Whats the point of this? To bash the Raimi stuff? lol

@marvelguy
i remember a few times in the spider man tv show where his web shooters actually did get crushed.

@marvelguy all of those things are explained at one point or another he talks about the cost of his spider-man stuff. his genius is noticed all of the time.like his being involved with professor conners (to what ever it's changed to at the time) or his science awards. his web-shooters are being crushed left and right, but it makes him a better character all over if he has more to deal with. if he didn't he would have the dreaded "SUPER-I-TISE" (the down fall of a superhero having too many powers or ability to the point of where they're not interesting; being superman).

Web Shooters, as the source material uses them the movies should too.
NeoBaggins
NeoBaggins - 3/7/2011, 10:12 PM
Oh, when it comes to the web shooters, it's honoring the source material. But the costume can look like a scuba suit with red paint splashd on it. Ok.

NeoBaggins,

You're so right! Are you sure you don't need a mechanical cud?!

Truly entertaining.

(And I do recall Stan Lee saying organic webs would've made him too monstrous/creepy.)

IMO, you're making a leap when you say that if a genetically-altered spider can give Parker the ability to stick to walls, then he can make his own web-shooters. As fantastical as the explanation may be, Spider-Man's ability to "walk on walls" specifically comes from being bitten by a spider. What gave him the ability to invent and manufacture a device that's way too advanced for a POOR high school student? There's a reason why Spider-Man has these amazing powers - but no reason for where he gets the resources or why, if he possesses this kind of intelligence, he doesn't just sell his patents so that he no longer has financial troubles.

I'm hoping in this film that he doesn't actually create the web-shooters and steals them from someone else. IMO, that makes more sense than him inventing them.

marvelguy I understand why it may have been weirder than they wanted back then. But when the organic webbs were presented in the real films, they were accepted naturally. It made sense that he would gain the ability to spin webbs. Only us geeks know about the comic origins, no one else cares about webb shooters and they aren't important. Every now and again, a change is better than the original. I think in this case, organic webbing makes more sense, but in the long run, it's not really a big deal. But it's funny how people say the shooters are important, but the look of the suit isn't. Fanboy bullshitters.

Whats the difference. Organic or Web Shooters, which ever direction you decide to go, will be adressed in a scene that takes up abot 2 minutes of the movie. I hardly see why this topic is worth debating.
marvelguy
marvelguy - 3/9/2011, 9:23 PM
I think they should Spider-Ham it so his spider-sense rings in his butt. He could shoot webs out of his butt, too...even more like a real spider!

I can't wait for the mechanical milk shooters!

Well if I recall right,I have the 3rd issue of Spiderman from 1963 and when he went against Doc Ock he had webshooters.It was never organic.Thats why he always ran out of webbing and fell.
