Personally, I have always agreed Spider-Man should produce his own web, which would actually make him spider-like. But I understand that the web shooters go to show how incredibly nerdy and intelligent Peter is.
It's not a debate. Mechanical is the correct choice. Always has been. Raimifags can go fuck themselves.
Cameron Allen
It should com out of his nipples.
Jaxon Sanders
I never understood why he would make that weird hand gesture
Connor Bennett
I want to fuck Peter's vagina wrist.
Ayden King
You can go fuck yourselves, oldfags.
Jayden Walker
Mechanical.
Spidey possibly running out of web-fluid in the middle of a fight immediately raises tension in comparison to organic webbing.
Easton Miller
>Personally I have always agreed Spider Man should produce his own web Then you have terrible taste. Mechanical is the only way to go I think its supposed to look like spider mandibles
Andrew Flores
>when organic loses his powers he has to quit being spider-man >when mechanical lost his powers he just toughed it out and kept superheroing as a normie despite the heightened risk and strain
Michael Reed
Bullshit. He's SPIDER-man, not "some-insect-like man". And all the web shooter show is a intelligence and degree of engineering skill he rarely actually uses. And is more effectively shown when peter is doing actual intelligent things rather than "herp derp gotta make more fake webbing to tie to my wrists"
Jonathan Mitchell
I REALLY prefer the web shooters. I think it's important for Peter to show how gifted he really is with engineering and chemistry as part of his character. Also, they're less creepy than having a slit in your wrist for webs to come out of.
Also also, web cartridges allow writers to play with a few ideas, give an extra challenge of running out of web fluid, and make it more possible for Peter to lose, as his web shooters could be crushed by anybody that knows they're there. Basically, they can help build dramatic tension.
Cooper Collins
I'm going to cave your fucking skull in your stupid nigger
Charles Nelson
this is explained many times, he makes that gesture because in that position his fingers can only put so much pressure on the web shooter trigger.
If he puts more or less pressure on the trigger it won't fire, this let's him make a fist or shake hands without having to worry about accidentally setting off his web shooters.
Camden Roberts
...
Austin Cruz
>He's SPIDER-man
Because he got his powers from a spider. It doesn't mean he has to embody every single feature of a spider.
He doesn't have eight eyeballs, either.
Levi Phillips
And yet I don't once recall Batman running out of Batarangs or something. It just feels...kinda cheap. Like "okay NOW he runs out of...nah give it another few panels".
Samuel Mitchell
Try it, but given your opinions, I doubt you have the intelligence or the opposable thumbs to carry it out.
Juan Morgan
Yeah, the wrist slit kinda freaks me out.
And then there's this guy.
Jason Harris
Most cases Bats either loses his belt or some other bullshit
Nicholas Perez
>Which one? And why?
Both.
His having organic webbing makes sense on account of his mutations. He should have them. However, to the extent that he uses webbing, his organic webs just wouldn't be enough. Thus why he'd have to rely on synthetic webbing via a mechanical apparatus (shooters).
If you wanted to balance out the usage/usefulness of them, you could say that while the synthetic webbing is more versatile because he can make a shitload of it and propel it via the shooters, his organic webbing is much stronger but very limited and would thus only use it for really big shit that the synthetic webbing coudln't handle.
Hunter Edwards
Why would he need to extend his pinky and index fingers in that scenario?
Besides, we all know the real reason why he does it is because he's Viewtiful, baby.
Gabriel Johnson
Spiders have 8 legs and make silk. That's like defining Kindergarden tier understandings of them.
Spider-Man doesn't do either. Spiders aren't really known for their strength either. Ants and some beetles are though. His name and concept is from decades past.
Luis Cox
Spider-Man's powers have always felt ill defined. His strength, endurance, resistance, danger sense, wall climbing, and various other abilities have been explained as being both innate and a result of his suit. Frankly I don't care, write whatever is the most interesting.
Jonathan Young
None of his other powers are inherently spider-related. He's really strong, can stick to walls, and has minor precognition. It's like he got lesser versions of 3 random x-men's powers and turned it into his own theme.
Easton Richardson
SPIDERS DONT SPRAY WEB LIKE A PROJECTILE YOU STUPID RETARDED FUCKS
TAKE YOUR ORGANIC MEME SHIT AND GTFO
James Ramirez
I can buy into Peter getting bitten by some spider and that giving him strength, spider-sense, webbing, and the ability to crawl. But I just can't buy into him being able to make webbing on part-time high school kids budget, especially for how much he uses it.
Henry Richardson
The utility belt of Batman is kind of the opposite of web shooters and cartridges. Whereas the shooters are meant to occasionally run out to raise dramatic tension, the utility belt is meant to give Bats an edge in any situation. You can't even take it away from him usually, it's electrified nowadays.
Luke Stewart
make the gesture yourself right now without extending your pinky and index fingers, you'll see why
Eli Smith
Im sick of seeing this thread. Fucking summerfaggots I swear
Luis Nelson
>He should have them.
No he shouldn't. You can't just decide which powers he "should" have, people don't actually become superhuman when a radioactive spider bites them.
I mean, if he "should" have organic web, then he "should" also shoot it from his butt instead of his wrists.
Aiden Rogers
Peter's intelligence has always been side lined as a superhero, I feel like the web shooters are a bit cheap (literally anyone can use them) just like its a "oh yeah he's smart, here's a reminder"
Dominic Perry
>the ability to crawl >a super power
CRAWLING-MAN! HE CRAWLS! CAN YOU CRAWL? NO!
Hudson Sanders
I've BEEN pressing my two middle fingers to my palm without extending those fingers. It is both more comfortable and more practical.
Bentley Young
The web shooters look cooler, so that one.
Jonathan Gonzalez
lol
Nathaniel Hernandez
None of Spider-Man's powers are spider like in any way shape or form.
His wall crawling ability is biomagnetism, not insectile grasping hairs
His spider sense is a telepathic ability
His super strength is not something a spider has
His agility is not something a spider has
Why would he ever have organic web shooters?
Spider-Man is a mutate with latent awoken abilities, this is why his emotions can effect his powers and how they can bring forth odd mutations like Man-Spider
Josiah Bailey
One of Spidey's web shooters broke during his fight with Electro in Amazing Spider Man 2 which created natural tension that Spidey had to overcome. And that was probably the best thing the movie did.
Jackson Miller
If he doesn't produce his own web - what's the need for him being a spider genetic splicer (seper reflexes, durability and shit are not actually associated with spiders - you can just go and swim in radioactive wastes like every second superhero/villian does)? then again, if you do can produce web, you have to be consistent (pic related). So the only way for him to shoot web out of his wrists (which is iconic and shit, therefore out of debate) is to milk his asshole while not heroing and then loading it into his shooter.
Hunter Hughes
Anyone can shoot the web, but do you have the strength to swing at high G-forces?
Jacob Campbell
he themed himself after a spider his powers are barely related to the spider
Justin Stewart
and it's harder to regulate the pressure your middle and ring finger would have on the trigger, use your brain man.
Joseph Murphy
Web shooters are more practical. What if his body's supply of organic webbing runs out when he's hundreds of feet in the air between skyscrapers? He can't just eat an emergency sandwich and generate more webbing in the scant few seconds before he splats on the pavement.
Sebastian Nelson
I'd imagine most heroes, yes.
Xavier Robinson
He'd be able to feel that like how a runner knows when they're running out of energy.
Jason Sanders
The same argue can be made for artificial since you have to constantly keep re-fueling them and keeping an eye out on them
Angel Watson
>literally anyone can use them Well to be fair 90% of what Spider-Man does with them would dislocate a shoulder or rip an arm clean off for people without some level of super strength. It's a good tool to use with his power set. Though that doesn't explain why he doesn't make a billion dollars marketing that shit. It's not like it's too dangerous to be in anyone's hands. And even with it breaking down after a few hours it has a million uses.
Elijah Thompson
These threads will never end.
Logan Edwards
Webshooters, or else people can tell he's a mutant from looking at his wrists.
Adrian Ross
Do you fucking idiots actually think spiders produce webbing from their asses?
Evan White
also villains cutting his grappling hook line and him falling mid jump, used for the same effect as losing his belt.
Gavin Taylor
Because it kinda looks like a spider when you make that hand shape. And extending the pinky and index a bit is more natural. Not all the way out though.
Michael King
if it's a biological function he would be able to tell when he's running low ala how every guy knows when he's about to stop pissing.
Wyatt Harris
Either one is fine. The organic webbing makes sense in that he has mutated more than once and it emphasizes the inhuman nature a lot of people see in Spiderman. The mechanic gives him tech variations though like impact webs and exploding web capsules. I'd like to see him using both actually.
Christian White
They produce webbing from spinnerets which are located in the posterior of their abdomen, right next to their anus. An area roughly equivalent to the "ass."
Jonathan Ward
Seems like peter should be able to devise a way to make his webbing change colour when he's almost out like till printer paper.
Charles Bennett
Mechanical because it shows he was smart enough to make them and because he can do more things with them than organic web shooters.
Adrian Hill
Wait, Spiderman being able to websling naturally was Raimi's idea, and not canonical to the original series? That's the stupidest goddamn thing I ever heard. What's the point of calling a superhero Spiderman if he can't physically manifest the one superpower that actually ties him to spiders?
Colton Gomez
The point is that he could potentially bring way more artificial webbing with him, rather than being limited to what his body could store in its web glands or whatever at any given time. And upon returning from superheroing, he couldn't have any way of restocking other than waiting for his body to generate more. Instant replenishment from stockpiles is out of the question.
Grayson Harris
Maybe he used tech to redirect his ass juice to his wrists.
Oliver Russell
No because he'd also be limited in what he can carry around, at least with organic it'd be stored in his body and he wouldn't need a bunch of pockets in a skin tight suit to carry cartage around
Cooper Peterson
All of his powers are based on spiders, they just aren't unique TO spiders. Neither is spinning silk, for what it's worth.
Jose Sanders
Then why the fuck does he a dress as a spider, and invent web guns of all things to fight crime. I don't care how useful webs are, it doesn't make sense why he would suddenly decide that being a Spider is his thing, just because it relates to how he got his powers.
Angel Nguyen
He tried selling it before, but since the webs dissolve in about two hours they didnt want it.
Kayden Jenkins
The issue I have with Spider-man using mechanic shooters is that at that point he doesn't really need the powers.
You're telling me he can create the webs/shooter but then can't upgrade his suit with a bunch of shit? He could easily make wall crawling features and increase his durability/strength with it similar to Black Panther's suit.
Zachary Powell
>this completely invented reductive reasoning Are you seriously this retarded? It's aesthetics and nothing more. Do you seriously think Jack Kirby or whoever first sketched up the gesture sat down and said "what is the most logical position for the hands to be in to activate a hidden mechanism?" No, they drew it because it looked cool. You're disrespecting comic books' roots with all this ex-post-facto "practicality" bullshit plaguing the industry. THEY'RE POWER FANTASY SUPER HEROES. They're not supposed to make sense.
Elijah Anderson
>why does a nerd attach to the idea of what gave him his first taste of power Golly user, I just dunno.
Robert Jones
Because he got his powers from a fucking spider.
Evan Gutierrez
Best compromise: he creates web naturally, but invents the shooters to direct and shoot it, because he can't do that himself.
Adam Long
I like to think it help him aim
Ethan Gomez
I think Peter should call himself Bug-man.
Nolan Phillips
>His wall crawling ability is biomagnetism, not insectile grasping hairs That's retarded >His spider sense is a telepathic ability I thought it's just a way to represent spider's reaction speeds and isn't literally seeing the future >His super strength is not something a spider has Spiders basically have superior strength relative to their size, which is what Peter is supposed to have. >His agility is not something a spider has I think that just comes from the super strength and the fact Peter is pretty petite.
Noah Gutierrez
Bats fly, Batman doesn't fly
Landon Anderson
Peter is not a king and has very few resources. He has to take pictures of himself so he and may can eat.
Connor Rogers
>he doesn't really need the powers And yet he still has them. I don't really see the issue.
Jordan Nguyen
>just because it relates to how he got his powers
Spider-Man is a 1960's character, the hottest shit in the 1960's was 007 spy gadgetry, of course his whole gimmick is gadgets and overly explained ways of using them.
regardless of what you think those are the in canon explanations.
Andrew Harris
Yeah, but Batman also wasn't called Batman because a mutated bat bit him and gave him bat related superpowers.
Luke Harris
no, but arachnid's abdomen still corresponds to the lower body of a mamal. so if spinnerets are to pop out - then somewhere around the ass.
Tyler Barnes
but he doesn't need to do those things because he has super powers.
Charles Torres
Bat can't fly too. only glide.
Logan Ramirez
He does glide
Jason Thomas
>regardless of what you think those are the in canon explanations.
It's still retarded Maybe Raimi's Spider-man deserves more credit than it gets
Ethan Rodriguez
>Bat can't fly too
Wrong
Blake Edwards
he's poor as fuck, his web shooters are entirely analog, made our of junk in a basement and house hold chemicals
maybe but the comic book way of giving him organic web shooters was to make him into a magical totem which is even more retarded
Robert Rodriguez
i like the organic web concept,give him more superpowers
Austin Turner
Mechanical Web Shooters add for artificial tension in fights and allow you to see cool shit like peter reloading, it also fits his character but makes no sense how hes timed it perfectly to go away after 2 hours
Organic Web Shooters get rid of the tension for more spider-man moments, such as the train scene, we can also see more scenes of spidey just swinging doing his thing, albeit with no tension attached.
Both are good for their own scenario's, stop bitching about the comics because the comics are actual god damn garbage at explaining his Web Shooters plus it's fucking idiotic that out of all his spider powers, THE BIGGEST ONE isn't one he gets naturally but has to make.
Grayson Wright
>I thought it's just a way to represent spider's reaction speeds and isn't literally seeing the future Spider sense is low level precognition. He doesn't he any visuals of the future, just a sense something is about to happen.
Lucas Edwards
Kek
Landon Ross
yeah, he was bitten by a radioactive detective!
Julian Collins
It's this just one guy posting the "raimifag" stuff right? It's like the barneyfag thing?
Colton Taylor
>makes no sense how hes timed it perfectly to go away after 2 hours
2 hours is just for comic book convenience, but it's perfectly plausible that it would be roughly consistent in how long it takes to break down.
Dylan Gutierrez
the 2 hours thing is supposed to be how long it takes for the web to dry out and become brittle, if it's wet it would remain sticky and not degrade nearly as fast.
Jacob Wright
>Which one? And why?
I like organic shooters for the following reasons:
-It just feels appropriate thematically that'd he be able to shoot webs naturally; he is a spider-man after all. I know a lot of people get upset about, "well why would he shoot them from his wrists?" and my answer to that is: it doesn't have to make sense scientifically, it just has to make sense thematically or contextually. Spiders after all don't have super strength and durability after all, so whatever.
-If spider-man could just 'make' spinerettes, why does he need to be bitten by a spider? The whole super hero personae begins to fall apart if he can fabricate one of his most important powers because who's to say he can't just fabricate all of his powers? For that matter, why doesn't he just fabricate or replicate betters ones? Start investing in himself, selling gadgets, ideas, patents, etc.. He's just shoehorning himself at this point.
-Keep in mind though that I'm a crazy outlier and I like the idea that spider-man's current powers are just very superficial, early-symptom, mutations/abilities and that through time, practice, and discipline he could awaken or otherwise branch into further useful mutations: more arms, more eyes, neato retractable venomous fangs, etc.. As he fights an internal conflict between devolving into a giant spider to have the power to save and protect people vs retaining his humanity for it's convenience.
But I'm pretty sure the spider-man people would rather experiment with him being black, dating midgets, being poor, having a hot aunt, or whatever.
