i think i remmeber in 90's cartoon Peter said he used plain old crackers as an ingredient in his web fluid...maybe i'm just smoking something but i swear i saw an episode like that
At one point, Spider-Man decided to improve his webshooters. He remade them with new materials to allow him to shoot his webbing farther than before. He also included a LED sensor to act as a gage. It would work like a gas tank gage and light up when he was running on empty. While on a streak, he decide to incorporate a mechanism to deploy his spider-tracers from his webshooters, located at the back of his hand.

you dont really believe that lame a$$ explanation do you? the whole thing of spiderman is unbelieveable,and there are many other things in that movie a lot more unbelieveable than that,if anything a person getting the powers of a spider to stacik to walls ect from a spiderbite is one of many things in that movie a lot more unbeliebeable than that,they only did not use the mechs because they wanted to make their own little version and did not care in the process about pissimg off the fans.
Sure, we could nitpick the entire movie apart frame by frame and point out every anachronism, violation and deviation from the books, but the filmmakers have to make the film appealing and understandable to millions upon millions of people who have never read comics. They won't understand the debate about organic web shooters or cartridges. They won't realize that Marvel movies continually dispose of characters that have been in comics for years but in a movie will die in the movie in which they are introduced. They won't know about Capt. Universe Spidey or Scarlet Spidey, and you can bet that the introduction of the symbiote will be a difficult concept for many to grasp. What I'm saying is, they have to keep it very simple, or people won't come back for the next.
I have been irritated many, many times by the inaccuracies and inconsistencies in Marvel's movie adaptations, but I try to remember to just try to enjoy it. It helped for me to watch it with someone who has never seen it, and I encourage them to ask me questions, if they have any. When I watch my niece or one of my sons' expressions, I realize the reason that they tell the story the way they do. It doesn't always help, but more often than not, it does. If that doesn't work, I try to remind myself that Stan Lee signed off on it, and it's usually had for me to be irked. Then I just try to go with it.
I always considerred the movie to be highly enjoyable. It's constantly on Sky Movies at the moment, and is on almost every weekend sometime, and I STILL watch it. I have it on DVD and yet I still watch it, I know every line. I actually love the movie.
Still hate the Goblin costume though (Oh yeah brought it back onto the Goblin costume, muahahahahaha!!!!).
Nope, never wanted the comic version either, because it WOULD have looked silly.
Comic Goblin - silly.
Movie Goblin - silly.
They should have had Norman in a flight suit that more resembled skin, and because he was insane, he added torn dark purple clothing to it or something, and a big Spawn-like cape. Look at Phil Urichs Green Goblin (the crime-fighter lol) on how to make a bad-ass Goblin.
and whats so laughable about that explanation is that we are suppose to be able to relate to a guy with webbing coming out of his wrists?okay whatever.
hardly,many people laughed at that lame a$$ alien from outer space costume.sorry that costume was MORE lame and more of a clown outift than the one from the comics.
We all know how you feel about the movies, Mr Parker. That having been said, VenomSymbiot just confirmed what I've already said. Organic Web Shooters are just alot more easy for people to understand. And Mr Parker, webbing shooting out from the wrists is just as unlikely as inheriting the ability to wall crawl or be warned of impending danger via spider-sense. It's all unlikely--that's what makes it interesting. There are simply going to have to be many, many points that they have to gloss over if they mean to cover any portion of 30+ years worth of story and material.
The point it that the majority of the audience will be able to more relate to the webbing being a part of his powers than a teenager super duper genius. What made Spiderman a special superhero over the last 40 years was that he was an "everyman" superhero. He was just like one of us. He had normal problems like the rest of us normal people. He got chewed out by his boss, he had trouble paying his bills, he was late to class, his aunt was sick, etc., etc. Making him a super duper genius would make him less accessible to a regular person. The Spiderman character is not a self-pitying super genius like Bruce Banner, nor is he an alcoholic billionaire like Tony Stark. He's a normal guy, who just happened to have super powers. That is Spiderman's appeal, not the fact that he has homemade webshooters.
As for the argument that the natural webbing would make for less drama, that also makes no sense. I've always thought it was nonsense for Spiderman to run out of web fluid. Think about it for a second, if you were a superhero fighting psychopathic supervillians who are bent on killing you, wouldn't you make sure you ALWAYS carried enough webbing? Especially since it's your main mode of travel? That's like Batman running out of gas for his Batmobile. You never see that drama played out do you? Oh no Robin! The Batmobile's out of gas!We'll never catch the Joker now! Running out of web fluid isn't dramatic, it's fake drama created by either lazy or uncreative writers.
Superhero movies will always ask to suspend a great deal of belief. The whole idea of superpowers is just not reality. Then the idea that some people with superpowers won't abuse them is also a little ridiculous. Think about it, Peter Parker in the real world could be the greatest athlete the world has ever known at any sport. He could make $20 million an year playing basketball easy. He could hole in one every golf shot with his "spider sense." Hell, he could play all the sports since he also has superhuman stamina. Baseball, basketball, hockey, football, golf, tennis, olympics, he'd be the best at them all. Why not have him be a hoops player as Peter Parker, then he could live in a big ol' mansion with his Aunt May and he'd never have to worry about money again, and still go out when he needs to as Spiderman. That would make for a boring storyline though. The trick is making the target audience identify with the protagonist. In this, Sam Raimi did a remarkable job. I'd go as far as saying that it's even better than Tim Burton's Batman, which also took a lot of liberties with the mythos (which has an even larger body of work behind it than Spiderman). I can't wait for Spiderman 2. From the trailers I've seen, it looks like it's gonna be another winner.
I just had this convo with someone who is a hard core comic collector (let her tell it) I wasn't fortunate enough to read all of them, so maybe one of ya'll could back me up?
She said the movie was on point when it came to his natural webbing. I for one don't remember that. I always remembered him having web caps.
Quote from our convo:
Her: NO he wasn't the one that made the caps
Her: #1
Her: #2
Her: the caps didn't show up untill spiderman issues 120
Her: people keep getting it backwards
Her: after he mutated into the spider monster type thing
Her: the antidote that was givin to him caused him to loose the ability to make webbing on his own
Me:Oh ok
Her: I don't know where people are getting this Caps first crap
How true is this? I can't argue something I'm not sure on. Can anyone back this up?
You mean she told you he only made his webshooters after the man-spider mutation?
No, on Marvels website the first ever spider-man comic is there. He had the webshooters from the start (if thats what u mean by "caps") and always has done.
