THE AMAZING SPIDER-MAN: Alternate Designs For Peter Parker's Web-Shooters

He needs to have the whole omg I ran out of web fluid gimmick at least once this movie

sweet!

I feel like if you're presenting news, you should give an unbiased view. Save your opinions for the comments section.

Spidex3000: That's not true. Plenty of journalist use their articles to push their views. And those ones are generally only liked by peopenwhomshare their view. unbiased reporters and journalists are the way to go.

[frick] those shooters! my father bought me better ones



XD

He will clearly make better web shooters with a stronger and perfected Oscorp webbing, to go with his new suit.

Really? When, I remember him trying to shoot them off underwater, but of course that wouldn't work.

I liked the web shooters in the film, although ultimately half way though the film for some reason I felt it was rather rushed and not as good as the first part. Maybe the sequel will be better. Doubt we'll get a proper Spider-man though until Marvel Studios has him back.

nailbiter111 - yeah i know, but if they use it too many times, it'll lose its effect.

Fanboys bricked their nickers about some homemade webb shooters that had no effect on the character whatsoever. At least the cartoon would put Spider-man in situations where running out of webbing was crucial. He only has webb shooters here for the sake of having them, for the sake of the pretentious reaction they received.

I really like the mechanical web-shooters. I'm glad Marc Webb implemented them in his take on Spider-Man.

I still prefer organic webbing with Sam Raimi's version.

I really like the web-shooters. I originally thought the organic ones would be better and more convenient (story wise), but TASM really turned me around, because it does show Peter's intelligence and also adds an extra level of threat in that he can run out of webbing at any given time - and they were right not to use that plot-point in the first movie, because it's not the sort of thing you should use over and over again through the series, so I'm glad they saved it for a future movie (plus we got different versions of it in this movie, like the webs not working under water, and Lizard breaking the shooters in the finale).

As for the webbing, the way I see it, although it's never made clear in the movie, is that Peter bases his own formula on the bio-cable he steals from Oscorp. It's a bit of a stretch, but basically it's because he tells that criminal that it's webbing he developed ("Webbing that I developed myself, I dont think you really wanna know the details...") yet we see him steal those cartridges. In the video he watches online, the bio-cable has a metallic quality, so I'm guessing he adapts Oscorp's bio-cable into his own webbing. In fact, he may have just stolen empty cartridges to store his own webbing (plus, he may have needed the cartridges so he could build his webshooters around them).

Anyway, I like the webshooters we got in the movie. If I remember correctly, the lights are actually there to show the current status of the webshooters - the red light is there to show that the web-cartridge is loaded properly, while the green bar on the side shows the strength setting of the web or something (to web-swing it needs to be on a stronger setting to shoot the web further, but if it were on that setting when Spidey shot a web at someone it could injure them so he'd put it at a lower setting during combat).
