I can't swing around a pole properly! I'm losing my powers!' give me a brake........Also without the organics he's not a spider but more of an ant. If you hate Spider-Man because of the organics then I feel very sorry for you indeed. I hate the web-shooters, it's a cheesy BS thing which makes the whole subject cross into fantasy way too much. There is NO way he could make wrist thingys or material like that. They didn't betray anything by making Peter different, they just up-dated his character. I mean, come on people, it's 2004, the comics were back in 1960.........ORGANICS ROCK! 🤘
I don't understand how people think that a web shooter somehow takes Spiderman into more of a fantasy direction... Come on have you seen the movie at all. Did you not see the Goblin on a glider, did you not see his how his goblin bombs killed everyone by stripping them down to thier skeleton, how about Doc Ock with his six arms, or the fact that he created an artificial sun.... and after all this you are worried that a web shooter would take the movie into more of a fantasy direction? It is already way over the fantasy line and in the relm of science fiction so please think before you talk.
I am not against organic web I just hate the way they implemented it in the movie. It was more a matter of conviniece than a well thought out idea. The thing is in order to have organic webs Peter would have to grow extra organs (and in one night no less). And I would expect Peter to panick and worry about what is happening to him when he finds out abot his webs, not go onto yhe roof and try to swing. When I was Peter's age if I got his strength/agility/speed and could climb walls, I would be jumping for joy, but if I found sticky goo coming out of my wrist and relised that here was something inside of me producing this thing, I would be scared like hell, I would have nightmares, and I would run/hide even mybe go to my doctor or the hospital... His whole reaction seemed a bit unbelivable to me.
And what was that whole seen on the roof when he was tring to figure out how his webs worked. Shouldent it come naturally to him like all his other abilities like all the acrobatic stuff he does (since it is organic). And why would he need to do that whole palm thing in order to release web since it would be trigered by the moustles in wrists and not his palm (if they loose the web shooters then there is no need for him to do that anymore since the only reason he did that was to trigger his web shooter). It is this kinds of things that I did not like about in the movie when it changed to organic webs... if it had been done better then maybe I would have liked it more but the way it is now I would have prefered a web shooter (if for no other reason than it makes him more human than spider).
By the way read Ultimate Spider-Man, that is how you up-date a character not by giving him a power that he did not have to begin with. The movie Spider-Man is not an up-date but an adaptation (big difference).
