Emma Stone Confirms Web-Shooting 'Device' for Spider-Man Costume!

veery niice!
oh yeah, and the web-shooters are very cool too...

I like it. I have spoken.

I'm wondering if breaking his web-shooters will play into any of the comedy, like it often does in the comics.

@CaptainProg the point is that peter parker is a high schooler but an exceptionally scientifically gifted one at that. one of the character traits i think most of us felt was forgotten in Rami's trilogy. but i wont deny it would be cool to have that cameo! not that it would happen haha

@SuspenseSmith
I totally agree.
I Like how you mentioned how he can shoot other types. Web-shooters have a lot more potential than shooting just plain webbing. They could take also a note from Ben Reilly and incorporate the the other gadgets he invented for the shooters.

superpooper: where else would he 'throw them together' without getting caught and someone reverse engineering the tech for their own purposes? Is it really that hard to picture a kid with a genius level IQ coming up with that and thinking that far ahead about it? Some people slap labs together in their own houses!

@skidz Yeah...they're called METH LABS. Sorry but an invention of that scale wouldn't be something that people would look at and go "oh...that's nice". It would be a scientific breakthrough and companies would be murdering each other just to get their hands on the formula. Parker would make billions selling it and would never have to touch another criminal to fight crime. He could set up Aunt May, Mary Jane and all of friggin LONG ISLAND for LIFE! If your talking about "suspension of disbelief" then, to use a much overused word on this site- FAIL. I don't care how noble Peter Parker is or how much power and responsibility he has, you can fight crime a hell of a lot better with a couple billion in your bank YA THINK? Jeezus!

I liked the idea of Organic web-shooters as much as I liked the mechanical ones, I just think it needed a better explanation as to how he produced them. Peter is supposed to be smart, he would have figured it out. I liked the idea of Peter inheriting possibly the spider's most incredible ability (though no mention of how he adapts the arachnid exoskeleton to his human system. I should shut up before the producers decide to make his skin hard as diamonds and shiny...or should I say glittery...)


I'll be the first to say it, Tobey Maguire's Parker/Spider-Man was far too dorky and naive for my tastes (part of that was the writing). He's supposed to be neurotic, not a simp. Andrew Garfield seems more like the type to portray him as a sardonic, witty, occasionally brooding young man with a lot of clout despite his nerdiness.

On a completely unrelated point:

I know Venom isn't that great of a character, and most people that advocate for him are ignorant fanboys.
For the sole reason that I love the first part of the Black Suit saga (the part without Eddie Brock, where Peter has to confront his darker side) I still hope that Venom plays a part in this series, but I want the saga of the black costume stretched across at least one WHOLE movie this time, because you have these phases to cover:

-Discovery of suit, Peter enjoying greater powers
-Suit warps Peter more and more until he does something absolutely evil, i.e. actually killing the main villain, willingly, brutally and realizes he needs to destroy the symbiote.
-Peter free from suit, hears about mysterious murders with victim's brains eaten out, obviously by Eddie Brock/Venom
-Endgame, faces Venom, which in a way is confronting himself....And it either finishes there, or Venom escapes and they carry it over.

I know this is an off-topic post, so, let's hear the hate.

@superpooper- here you go.........its called fiction. how would you "scientifically" explain his super-strength? adhesive skin? spider-sense? enhanced agility? what about batman? do you think all his gadgets should be "organic"? or superman? you think he should sell his dna to scientists to make billion of dollars? really, your argument has no validation when talking about FICTIONAL characters. come on dude.....

@superpooper- According to Marvel "Academically gifted, Peter displayed an uncanny affinity for science that was nothing short of genius. Socially, however, he was painfully shy and the target of much cruelty by his peers at Midtown High School." He's not Some-Teenager. Your going backwards looking for proof that he was genius enough to make the webbing when inventing the webbing was Stan Lee's proof that he was a genius.

Are you going to complain about how a radiation blast turned one man into a green giant instead of slowly killing him? To demand concrete science to explain science fiction is absurd.

Anyways, things to remember:

*Peter was SIX when he was orphaned. They always cast uncle Ben's death as his first "tragedy" but a 6 year old is intelligent enough to be traumatized by the reality that he'll never see his parents again. An age where memories are just starting to solidify- enough to be painful.

*Captain Richard Parker, a decorated soldier of the United States Army Special Forces, was recruited by Nick Fury to the C.I.A..

*Mary Fitzpatrick was the daughter of O.S.S. agent "Wild Will" Fitzpatrick. She attended the best schools and eventually followed in her father's footsteps, becoming a C.I.A. translator and data analyst.

*He has obviously inherited traits from both parents. His family HAS HISTORY!

*There's a running joke that Spidey doesn't wear underwear because he chaffs.

*He liked Liz but never went out with her. She was the one that started falling for him even though she was dating Flash Thompson. Her step-brother is the super villain Molten Man and she eventually marries Harry Osborn, inheriting his entire Osborn Industries after he died. Mad props to the woman who was once the ditzy blond high school popular.

*Gwen was Peter's first true love but Mary Jane had been hiding Peter's super hero secret since long before Captain Stacy. She sometimes supplied or played his excuse to let him ditch and put on his threads. Her party-girl attitude sobers immediately after her best friend dies(Peter is NOT the only one deeply affected by Gwen's death). Her biggest vice is running from her problems, contradictorily, she instead stays with Peter to grieve.

Can you imagine what Peter would have been like if he had been raised by his super spy parents? . . . probably woulda started calling on "Uncle Logan" and devoted his life to fighting Hydra. Heroics is in his blood and it doesn't start with the bite of a radioactive spider.

@ scionstorm Of course we're talking about fiction here and I don't need you to remind me of that. But the main argument that people keep coming back to is "suspension of disbelief". Now if you want us to believe that in this fictional world a man could be bit by a radioactive spider and get super powers then it's not much more of a stretch to think he could produce webs as well. It's much much easier to swallow then some 17 year old, genius or not, created a miraculous device that noone can reproduce all the while operating with little to no resources save the money he earns as a freelance photographer. He can barely afford his rent and he's able to whip up massive amounts of this webbing material as well as a device to both store and project it? Where does he get the necessary chemicals? Walmart? Sure

I think Dr. Conners will help Peter make it, since they are close friends, then Conners turns into the Lizard and yeah.

@superpooper- that is assuming those people ever got a hold of them to reverse-engineer. And of course to figure out how to adjust the pressure requirements. Peter applied his super strength to the trigger design- a normal human would have to go at it with a mallet to pump out the fluid.

The fluid itself of course was designed to be untraceable, dissolving after only an hour.

Hell to the frickin' yeah!
Web shooters!

Costume looks like crap!
But the movie will still be good!
And web shooters!
Waaaaaa-hoooooooooooo!
Can't frickin' wait!

Good one, DCMF! Thanks!

i like the organic web than the mechanical web shooters. but i want the web comes out from his ass. (true to the spiders) LOL!
