Im not talking about how he fires his web, or how it sticks to the anchor point, im talking about his fucking hand.
Pic related: he takes that hand position to fire the web, but how exactly does he GRAB the web? his two middle fingers are pressing down on his palm, with the only two fingers that could grab being his pointer and thumb.
His webs are often shown firing too fast for even him to catch if he had to quickly open his palm and reach forward to grasp it as its leaving the shooter.
But he usually grabs it with the hand he fires it from.
Levi Anderson
I don't know, maybe the webbing doesn't detach from his shooter until he stops making that hand motion. If it's right there in his palm it shouldn't be that hard to imagine a guy with superhuman abilities can quickly grab something in the span of a second.
Jordan Foster
Proportionate strength, and speed, of a spider. He fires the web then uncurls his fingers and grabs it, really fast.
John Long
>How the fuck does Spider-Man grab his weblines.
Probably with his hands.
Alexander Stewart
>cant read
Elijah Parker
What do you mean?
He's often depicted as grabbing the webbing with his hands.
Logan Perry
>Pic related: he takes that hand position to fire the web, but how exactly does he GRAB the web? his two middle fingers are pressing down on his palm, with the only two fingers that could grab being his pointer and thumb.
I had always thought that a little extra webbing came out just so he wouldn't have this issue.
Daniel Harris
he lets go of his palm and then grabs the web
it's not complicated
Chase Williams
I don't get it...Are you saying that FUCKING SPIDER-MAN does not have the REFLEX or DEXTERITY to grab his own webbing?
Goddamn you summer kids.
Julian Sanchez
but when he lets go the web stops firing and as we know that shit goes super fast.
Justin Hughes
>but how exactly does he GRAB the web? >the only two fingers that could grab being his pointer and thumb.
Like I said, here
Jeremiah Cook
and spider-man has probably the greatest reflexes and reaction time of any non speedster in comics. he just grabs it.
Jace White
Nigga he cant stretch in mid air, he has nothing to push off of.
Sebastian Fisher
It does. But he's Spider-Man. He IS that fast, he IS that strong.
Nicholas Ross
I'd upload a bait.jpg here but I lost my image folder so I'll just say fuck you instead.
Parker Green
>His webs are often shown firing too fast for even him to catch if he had to quickly open his palm and reach forward to grasp it as its leaving the shooter.
They though. Spider-Man is stupid fast.
Landon Thomas
He is a kid in a spider costume with super powers and you are here trying to find flaws in this fictitious hero why?
back in 2002 there were no such things as 'rights'
Robert Gray
No, think about it for a second, open your mind.
Whenever we see him swinging, mid air, his arms are fully extended, theres no feasible way for him to stretch out further because he cant push off of air. He cant fly, its not just about being real fast, its just jank.
Because if you start throwing basic shit out the window with the reason "lol its fiction" without that being intentional from the get go, everything will start going to shit.
At least sticking to real world logic can lend itself to interesting ideas, just going "fuck it" is how you get retarded power level wank where Flash can suddenly space time dilate in reverse to abort gods because he can go fast real good.
Zachary White
> FLY > SHAZAM > GO WE GO Kek, that's still funny.
Camden Howard
>up up and away, web! >you're not superman.
What did they mean by this.
Carter Stewart
>he gets mad that grown men in spandex isnt realistic
James Price
Spider-man has reflexes ~40 times greater than a human's. He can catch them just fine.
Camden Martinez
Why would he have to extend his arm to reach something that's already in reach of his hand?
OP is either retarded or trolling.
Xavier Perry
I bet you're just the life of the party.
Ayden Moore
he doesnt need to stretch his arm dipshit, the web comes out of his wrist, he opens his fingers from shooting position and then closes them around the webline in swinging position before it moves past his fingers.
Parker Green
His first instinct wasn't to snap somebody's neck.
Jordan Allen
Dude. Calm down.
Easton King
>>he gets mad that grown men in spandex isnt realistic
If you want to think outside the box, you need one to begin with. Etc.
Its good to have limits because it sparks creative thinking is all. Again, this is why shit like Superman moving planets around with his bare hands and Batman being Batgod happen. Or Wolverine healing from a nuke to the face.
I am calm.
Because its flying out of his wrist and he needs to move his hand to catch it.
He needs to open his hand as its flying, to catch the string.
Two fingers against the palm, opening, could knock the string moving at a high velocity past said fingers out of the way.
Kevin Martin
this thread is fucking hilarious... i love you OP
Jayden Campbell
I see what you're doing OP. stealth Spider-Man thread
Cooper Gray
I like to believe that DC Comics exists in the Marvel Universe and vice versa, although I'm sure that it's canon to some extent.
Alexander Hughes
And having the limits of having the proportionate speed and strength of a spider isn't a good enough of a reason as to say why Spider-Man would be able to catch his own web ?
Ryder Green
OP, you're a dumbass.
Noah Miller
some kid called daredevil red batman once.
Easton Barnes
The webbing is literally shooting past his hand. He doesn't have to reach for anything, dummy.
Cameron Lee
Again, I refer to you this educational video my friend. I'm always here to help.
Caleb Cox
I thought I was the only one.
Benjamin Parker
>The webbing is literally shooting past his hand. He doesn't have to reach for anything, dummy.
Exactly, its shooting PAST his hand.
His hand is, while doing it, bent downwards and half closed, two fingers on his palm. When he lets go of this pose the web stops firing and the end of the strand moves past his fingers.
Caleb King
And then there's this.
It's funny. I don't think i've seen anything like this from DC.
Jace Jenkins
>And having the limits of having the proportionate speed and strength of a spider isn't a good enough of a reason as to say why Spider-Man would be able to catch his own web ? well considering how often he jobs
Brayden Hernandez
>how does Spider-Man swing? From a thread.
Jonathan Price
The problem with your logic is that you think that Spider-Man is not allowed to move his fingers ever.
Ian Hernandez
No the logic is that spider-man cant move his fingers without it ceasing to fire.
Tyler Hill
I wondered this myself, and just started making hand motions until one seemed plausible to me. After his webbing connects to a building, he quickly bends/twists his wrist downward and toward his body while still shooting web and maintaining his hand position. Due to his movements, the webbing strand is now between his index finger and thumb (I guess on that fleshy webbing part at the base of the thumb), and he then releases the trigger of his webshooters and grabs the webline with his thumb and index finger simultaneously.
Now with the top-of-the-wrist shooters like Spider-Man 2099, or Black Suit Spider-Man I'm not so sure, but I can live with a very quick wrist twist upwards, with a fast thumb movement to position the webbing to be grabbed. It's an organic system with them, so they have leeway with how it's fired, I feel.
David Ross
With organic systems it makes more sense since its anchored in them still.
Jason Campbell
Shit, user, MARVEL comics exist in the marvel universe.
Ayden Ross
His hands are fast enough to grab it while it moves past his wrist, why are you making it so complicated?
Jonathan Powell
But his webs dont move past his wrist they fire FROM his wrist, they move past his fingers while he's in the ILY position.
Matthew Walker
Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense that it could still be connected to them because they have that different organic kind of control, I had a feeling about something like that happening, but couldn't put it into words, you've helped my fake imaginary web swinging when I'm alone, thanks!
Jaxon Wood
Even he doesn't know.
Wyatt Stewart
>moves fingers to stop shooting >grabs the last bit of web as it comes out
It's not that hard.
Juan Reed
>someone forgot about Gwen
Noah Edwards
His first instinct was to cover her in a hot sticky load of fresh gooey webbing. The neck snapping was purely incidental.
Grayson Cruz
Dude is fast enough to dodge bullets, but you can't imagine him being fast enough to catch his own webbing.
Ryder Wright
...
Jason Clark
god user you autistic fuck, make the spidey hand thing then MAKE A FUCKING FIST
Josiah Bennett
you cant possibly be this fucking stupid.
Where does his web come from, user.
How does closing the pointer and pinky grab the webline when its firing from his wrist, when his fingers are already mostly closed.
Jaxon Perez
>you can grab things from a closed hand position without opening the hand. >autism speaks Summer is here full force.
Parker Jenkins
Did somebody say HYPERCRISIS?
Lucas Richardson
>user demonstrates how human beings grab objects
Jaxson White
So what you're saying is, if i close the open fingers, i'll grab the string firing overtop the middle two fingers that are already closed.
Okay.
Ryder Jackson
Did you pass high school.
Jordan Allen
>everything will start going to shit. Can you hear yourself?
Spider-Man's aerobatic maneuvers are loose and "everything will start going to shit"?
So the guy who controls electricity, the guy made from sand, the alien goo parasite and all that he beats up, that's all fine and well, but how this one asshole swings on webs to get from his place to the crime scene is out of line?
>His webs are often shown firing too fast for even him to catch if he had to quickly open his palm and reach forward to grasp it as its leaving the shooter. He has reflexes 40 times faster than a human. They don't show it much, but it's easily applicable here. That makes for what, super speed in really short bursts?
Gabriel Peterson
He twirls it around his index finger before the end of the web reaches his last knuckle. There.
Levi Barnes
I'm more concerned with how he doesn't just accidentally fire his webshooters every time he makes a fist or punches someone.
I've only just started reading Amazing from the beginning but is this ever explained?
Jonathan Stewart
Curl your hand into a fist; now do the far-out surfer dude pose. Your two middle fingers end up pressed near your wrist with the latter, while they just curl up with the former. Since Spiderman has super agility he probably doesn't have to worry about screwing up a punch.
Ryder Lopez
If I recll, originally he designed his webshooters so they would only fire with a certain amount of strength pplied. That made it so no human could use them *didn't last, evidently). But they re pressure sensitive, and Peter has been pulling his punches and kicks and overall movements since he was a kid, so if there is one thing to explain it, it's phenomenal muscle control.
Also, reflexes. Spider reflexes. God Spider-Man 2 as a fun game with that.
Nathan Carter
I would like you to do a test op.
Hold something in your hand. For a brief moment, let it go, and then catch it again.
If you do this fast enough, you will not need to move your arm.
Blake Davis
pay attention
Bentley Barnes
Said thing isnt being launched at a high enough velocity to hit and reach across a city block.
If you actually slow down the youtube video of that scene and pay attention, even the CG cant explain how he does it, the web isnt even in his hands anymore when he goes to grab it
i slowed it to 0.25 speed and the cg literally slides through his finger for him to grab it. OP might have a point
Elijah Gomez
>Said thing isnt being launched at a high enough velocity to hit and reach across a city block.
And you don't have ultra reflexes powered by radioactive spider magic.
The principle stands. Things that move past your hand can be grabbed with relative ease by your hand.
Connor Lewis
>The principle stands. Things that move past your hand can be grabbed with relative ease by your hand. the proble misnt that its moving past his hand, its that its moving past his hand WHILE his hand is already mostly closed and at an adjacent angle.
Cameron Diaz
Didn't they retcon it to where he has to double tap his fingers like he's clicking a mouse?
I also remember reading when Ben made his webshooters he made it where he had to twist his wrist and do the hand motion.
Jason Butler
He has the mechanical ability to disengage the web when he chooses if its organic. He presses his palm, then he graps the still connected web, the he disconnects it with an additional muscle/mechanism.
Caleb Brown
They retcon and nerf a lot of things. My advice, take the best pats and ignore the rest, since comics just mix it up like a blind stew chef.
>its organic That reminds me, shouldn't his organic webshooters have a bunch of muscles to help facilitate the expulsion of the webbing, like spiders use their legs to get it out?
Christian Hughes
You're both missing one key aspect though. He doesn't have normal human reflexes. So even if it fires off too fast for a normal person to perceive or grasp he as the advantage of having super human strength and reflexes to compensate for whatever we might perceive to be too fast.
Dylan Martinez
Honestly Spiderman has enough associated body horror before you start considering the the mechanics of web expulsion.
Hudson Moore
He should really be a blur hen he moves. A speedster in really short time frames, and he can run how fast?
Just consider the way he moves (his body is twice as elastic as a human's, so that means he can bend and contort way past a conortionist or Cirq deu Solei [sp?]) as wwwell as the mannerisms seemingly inherent to him thanks to the spider (spider and man), his movements alone would be creepy. I get the feeling he's really calm, but in combat just erratic and cagey. The games have it don pat where his attacks look like a giant fucking spider.
I was playing SD and Ultimate has an attack that makes it look like eight legs are bringing an enemy close, feasting on it, and tossing it away.
Alexander Butler
>A speedster in really short time frames yes >and he can run how fast? You know I honestly have no idea. There's almost never a situation where running is a better choice for him than just web zipping
Bentley Torres
Please don't let this thread die. I'm laughing too hard.
Hudson Johnson
the ASM2 game did a pretty good job of making his movements spidery too. beyond his weird fighting style and matrix dodges, lots of cutscenes have him impatiently crawling around on walls and making weird swooping gyrations while talking to people
Thomas Anderson
I found that annoying actually. Far too many gesticulations. Looks like the freakout animation in GTAV. Where ASM2 improved... something, ASM1 did the cutscenes better. I haven't played it though, but man that costume looks SO good.
I once read he couldd go around sixty, which makes sense considering his strength and speed and etc. Then again since his legs are far stronger than his arms, he should be able to jump a lot farther too. Constraints, I guess. Would be far more 'amazing' if they got creative with the application of his powers.
Owen Hernandez
How does he get traction from his feet in regular shoes? Sure, his hands can stick to the walls no prob. But how are his feet not slipping around all over?
I assume he has special shoes that enable him to grip when he makes his spider suit...
Adam Kelly
Rubber grips on the shoes, if they ARE shoes, to give some traction, and if not superhuman durability would render things like glass and debris inconsequential if the spider-sense didn't warn him first. is Per fingertip (again, I read somewhere), it's like an attraction... force? of 25 tons, so it'd be nearly impossible for him to lose his grip with hands alone, even.
An user once had an idea that his spider-sense and stick-em powers were psychic abilities since they're mental, and that he could train the latter like Assassin did with the former to do things like Mayday does but better since Peter doesn't have to think about attraction, it's instinctual, but she does,
Kayden Lewis
"Spider-Man's exposure to the mutated spider venom induced a mutagenic, cerebellum-wide alteration of his engrams resulting in the ability to mentally control the flux of inter-atomic attraction (electrostatic force) between molecular boundary layers. This overcomes the outer electron shell's normal behavior of mutual repulsion with other outer electron shells and permits the tremendous potential for electron attraction to prevail. The mentally controlled sub-atomic particle responsible for this has yet to be identified. This ability to affect the attraction between surfaces is so far limited to Spider-Man's body (especially concentrated in his hands and feet) and another object, with an upper limit of several tons per finger. At one point, Spider-Man was able to prevent Anti-Venom from taking his mask off by making it stick to his face."
Owen Powell
Isn't webbing already attached to his wrist while he shoots it? Does he even need to hold it?
