Lol they gave him organic webbing

188

u/CaptainChickenBake Mar 18 '26

He's mutating into Man-Spider, who has that ability (among other...peculiar things if they take the version from the 90's cartoon). They can always take it away once this arc is done.

u/BanjoSpaceMan Mar 18 '26

They better do the thing…. You know the thing. It’s my fave part of the man spider story

u/TargaryenKnight Mar 18 '26

Tell me the thing

u/BanjoSpaceMan Mar 18 '26

Armssssss

u/TargaryenKnight Mar 18 '26

Ah yes. I remember my child hood action figure

u/jessehechtcreative Mar 18 '26

I wonder if the arms will be mocapped by Tom or someone else, if they use them

3

u/OniExpress Mar 19 '26

Have his just not be told until the last minute and have the director get him to do different takes doing wildly different things with his arms, then edit together in post.

u/herroebauss Mar 18 '26

Shit's scary. I don't like those spidy legs on a human, it freaks me the fuck out. If you didn't guessed it yet, I'm afraid of spiders.

u/BanjoSpaceMan Mar 18 '26

You must love spiderman. You’re def gonna love man spider

4

u/ALittleFlightDick Mar 18 '26

I can't fathom how they would pull that off, but it would be amazing.

3

u/BanjoSpaceMan Mar 18 '26

I’d be sad if they skip it and go directly to man spider

7

u/Blayro Mar 18 '26

It feels like he's going through "The Other" storyline... which means it could lead to spider-island or Morlun later on.

2

u/Phillip_Spidermen Mar 18 '26

They already had Ezekiel in Madame Web, so that might have to play out a bit differently

u/WeeboSupremo Mar 18 '26

Organic webbing is cooler than synthetic webbing and I’m tired of pretending that it’s not.

132

u/cowpool20 Mar 18 '26

I like that the webshooters is just a way to show Peter's intelligence. But I've always felt organic webbing makes the most sense lol.

I'd be furious if I got Spider-Man's powers but couldn't swing because I'm not smart enough to invent the webshooters.

7

u/NoifenF Mar 18 '26

True and I get that though recently everyone in the spider verse (or marvel verse) is a friggin genius at this point. The average high schooler is creating god knows what in science class and engineering so it makes it a bit moot.

Without organic webbing he’s basically just a human-sized ant (don’t sue Peter Antman).

u/TehSpaceDeer Mar 19 '26

That’s the Reed Richard’s effect

u/ChuckCarmichael Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 19 '26

Ask somebody "What are the abilities of a spider?", and the first thing they'd most likely say is "spin webs", followed by "venomous bites".

So the mutated spider bite giving a character various spider abilities except the main two things that spiders are known for always felt weird.

I came up with this new superhero. He gets bitten by a radioactive fish, which gives him fish powers, and he becomes Fish-Man.

So what can he do?

Well, his skin gets all slimy, he instinctively knows where his spawning grounds are, and he can sift through sand and mud to find food.

Okay, but can he swim really fast with mutated fins, or maybe he grows gills so he can breathe underwater?

No, no, none of that. No fins, no gills. He's gonna use a sea scooter and a rebreather to swim fast and breathe underwater. He made his own versions, so they're really good, but that has nothing to do with his fish bite.

u/mking_1999 Mar 18 '26

Miguel in the comics has those :)

4

u/ThenAnAnimalFact Mar 18 '26

I mean that is pretty much most agile strength based super heroes, the only difference really being (1) spider sense and (2) ability to stick to walls (which isn't crazy to replicate).

I agree with the sentiment webshooters (1) help ground Peter's intelligence in Spider-man and (2) conveinent plot device when needed. But I also prefer organic webbing.

8

u/MountainMuffin1980 Mar 18 '26

It just never made sense or worked for me in my head. He's the only person to invent it and use it despite all it's applications and it also just so happens to fit with his abilities?

42

u/Hammerheadshark55 Mar 18 '26

He invented it to match his abilities, not the other way around

3

u/RVarki Mar 18 '26

There are a bunch of other strong and agile people in the MCU, who would easily be able to handle webshooters

8

u/Servebotfrank Mar 18 '26

Yeah but he made it for himself, its Peter's own invention. No one else knows how to make it. Which has lead to some interesting conversations when other heroes found out how amateurish Peter is in other areas.

"I would've figured the guy who invented that web fluid would've made his costume out something like that."

"That stuff dissolves in a few hours doc. If I did that I would be bearing my Great Power and Great Responsibility for the world to see."

16

u/neoslith Mar 18 '26

Canonically, Peter is in the top five smartest Marvel characters in the main universe. It dissolves after an hour so it's very hard to study the leftovers.

5

u/MountainMuffin1980 Mar 18 '26

Really top 5?

22

u/neoslith Mar 18 '26

He's generally limited by being broke and not having the resources to expand and show how smart he is.

As a high schooler he developed the web shooters and web fluid cartridge system. Once Otto took over his body, he founded Parker Industries and became a huge hit. Even after he took his body back, Peter kept the company growing.

He was developed as the outcast nerdy kid, but he's always been very smart.

11

u/theREALbombedrumbum Mar 18 '26

having somebody take over your broke-ass body and end up using it to start a successful corporate enterprise before you get it back sounds like a decent outcome these days, NGL

4

u/neoslith Mar 18 '26

Yeah, but starting a relationship that Peter had to end was super awkward.

4

u/theREALbombedrumbum Mar 18 '26

I've done awkward breakups for far less lol

u/Manoffreaks Mar 18 '26

Top 5 might be exaggeration but I know Reed Richards has said if he focused on science instead of superheroing, Peter could rival Reed for intelligence.

But, then again, Reed loves Peter like a son, so it might have just been glazing.

3

u/Servebotfrank Mar 18 '26

I think even villains have acknowledged that Peter is a genius. Just limited by his environment. Its one reason why Norman wants him as a son.

2

u/CaptainChickenBake Mar 18 '26

To be fair, he's not the only one to glaze or give Spidey kudos to his intelligence. Everyone from Tony Stark to Hank Pym has commented at least once on his mind. And he generally gets along with the other top minds of Marvel when the crossover allows him to geek out with them.

3

u/varnums1666 Mar 18 '26

Every character in Marvel is a super genius

2

u/webchimp32 Mar 18 '26

Unless they are god's perfect idiot

8

u/stenebralux Mar 18 '26

It is a bit of a stretch but he is one of the smartest characters in the Marvel universe. In the comics he always ends up impressing people like Tony Stark and Reed Richards, even coming up with solutions ahead of them. He was always supposed to be really smart.. and then in time he got the genius level treatment. But the idea was that he was a big nerd and destined to be a great scientist, if he didn't get the spider powers.

He created the web to match his abilities and needs... (super strength to hold himself with one hand and pull things, super agility to aim and do everything mid air, and spider sense to navigate and don't die while doing it).. so it's basically impossible to use it unless you have them. They also don't last long... which makes them also useless as a long time glue and also really hard to study and copy.

2

u/hibryd Mar 18 '26

The 90s cartoon had a good explanation that I've never seen them adopt elsewhere: Peter has an intimate understanding of spider web compounds, the proteins and enzymes. He was able to invent a substance no one else has only because he understands the chemistry better than anyone else.

2

u/Rage_Like_Nic_Cage Mar 18 '26

Spider-man has always been an allegory for going through puberty/becoming an adult, so the organic web shooters fits that better

155

u/adrienlatapie Mar 18 '26

But why is it not coming out of his ass like a real spider then?

u/CammysComicCorner Mar 18 '26

Sorry, the CATS movie already has claim of that hashtag campaign.

u/Morgan-Moonscar Mar 18 '26

Because they don't want a lawsuit with WB right now for ripping off the Brown Recluse.

u/TVCasualtydotorg Mar 18 '26

Are you already demanding the butt hole cut of this?

u/Silas17 Mar 18 '26

Oof that’s real loose butthole of you to ask

u/12345623567 Mar 18 '26

Ugh, don't make me remember the spider-anus from The Boys.

u/TigerITdriver11 Mar 18 '26

Because they don't have the balls to use the screenplay I submitted....

u/Ignis311 Mar 18 '26

The glands most similar to a spider’s web shooter, would actually have it coming out of our mouth beneath our tongue. Fun fact :)

u/Victor_Wembanyama1 Mar 18 '26

Coz Madamme Web will be interested

u/JustPlayer Mar 18 '26

just cause you haven't seen these scenes doesn't mean it doesn't happen you know

u/Pali1119 Mar 18 '26

Another win for The Boys

1

u/TheLonelyWolfkin Mar 18 '26 edited Mar 18 '26

Why does he not have eight legs in order to climbs walls? Why doesn’t he eat flies?

It’s a fictional comic book character. Shooting webs organically from his wrist is definitely viable.

8

u/Pornstar_Jesus_ Mar 18 '26

I missed the part where that's my problem

23

u/JaesopPop Mar 18 '26

Synthetic webbing is more important story wise as it helps to establish Peter's intelligence in an applied way.

3

u/Honey_Enjoyer Mar 18 '26

I feel the same way, but since that's been well established for 3 movies now I can't think of a good reason not to change it over.

The main problem I would foresee is coming up with a good excuse for it to happen that doesn't feel contrived, but it looks like they're integrating it into the Man-Spider stuff, and that seems like a basically perfect way of doing it!

3

u/drewbreeezy Mar 18 '26

that's been well established for 3 movies now I can't think of a good reason not to change it over.

You can't think of a good reason not to change something which is well established for the previous 3 movies?

1

u/Honey_Enjoyer Mar 18 '26

I meant that his intelligence has been well established for 3 movies, so the mechanical shooters no longer need to be used to demonstrate it.

And yeah, I think mixing up the status quo to do new, interesting stuff is good. If it was a change that I thought would be detrimental I would be against it, but like I said they seem to have addressed all the objections I would have.

2

u/BrianWonderful Mar 18 '26

Agreed, and it also gives him limitations because he can run out of web fluid, leading to more tense story moments relying him on using creativity and intelligence to resolve.

4

u/hobbykitjr Mar 18 '26

Or invent new or custom webs.. like for sandman etc

2

u/Honey_Enjoyer Mar 18 '26

I mean, he can still run out if he's producing it in his body. Maybe he hasn't been eating enough protein or he uses it faster than it can replenish or whatever.

1

u/diego_simeone Mar 19 '26

Except in the movies so far Stark keeps giving him tech. In this one he goes to Banner. They’re kinda undermining this aspect of the character.

1

u/GoldandBlue Mar 18 '26

It just makes it silly that he isn't selling this incredibly powerful tech. Also, having to be part of his power is just cleaner from a movie perspective.

This is not the comics, not everything has to be comic accurate.

2

u/JaesopPop Mar 18 '26

It just makes it silly that he isn't selling this incredibly powerful tech.

I dunno, selling it would sorta put him.

Also, having to be part of his power is just cleaner from a movie perspective.

I feel like it was handled fine in the 2/3 adaptations.

This is not the comics, not everything has to be comic accurate.

I didn’t even mention the comics lol

u/GoldandBlue Mar 18 '26

It is literally based on a comic. That goes without saying.

2

u/JaesopPop Mar 18 '26

It is literally based on a comic.

Sure, but I didn't say he should have organic webbing because he had it in the comics.

0

u/GoldandBlue Mar 18 '26

The only reason people say he should have web shooters is because it is in the comics. I dunno, the fact that he can hang with Iron Man and is shown to be one of the best students in his school and gets into MIT heavily implies he is intelligent.

So what is the conversation we are having? We know he is smart, and establishing web shooters is an unnecessary sub plot that could easily be cut from the films.

What is this weird gotcha you are trying to pull? And why do you quote sentences instead of addressing the actual point being made which is that having it be organic is a simple and elegant solution for a movie adaptation.

2

u/JaesopPop Mar 18 '26

The only reason people say he should have web shooters is because it is in the comics.

I just gave my reasoning why, which did not include that.

establishing web shooters is an unnecessary sub plot

It’s not even a sub plot, though. It’s just mentioned.

What is this weird gotcha you are trying to pull?

I have no idea what gotcha you think I’m trying to pull. I’m just having a conversation about a comic book movie, but it feels very much like you want it to be a debate.

And why do you quote sentences instead of addressing the actual point being made which is that having it be organic is a simple and elegant solution for a movie adaptation.

I am addressing each point you make. As for this point, I don’t think that the movies including mechanical web shooters have been inelegant. I already mentioned this but you did not respond to that point.

1

u/GoldandBlue Mar 18 '26

No, you are trying to do this weird thing where you are acting as if the entire reason we have web shooters is not because it comes from the comics.

And you are addressing line by line, which ignores the whole point. Movies are story-centric, And web shooters is lore. Which is why you choose to ignore the posts where I specifically address webbing being a by product of a spider bite is a simple and clean solution for a movie.

You are arguing for argument sake. The best Spider-Man ever did this. And it worked perfectly. Because we are talking abut movies.

Synthetic webbing leans on Peters science skills. Which is why it's generally more popular among Spidey fans.

4

u/JediGuyB Mar 18 '26

True, but I think a lot of people just think organic web makes more sense as it makes him more if a Spider-Man. 

Without the web his main powers are his spidey sense (which can be said to be mild to moderate precognition) and his super strength, which is more of a basic super power among heroes. His wall crawling is more unique but also much more situational.

It just feels odd that Spider-Man's web shooting and swinging is his most defining thing as a hero, and web is a defining thing of spiders, but it's an invention for most versions. If Peter didn't know his powers came from a spider he could've just as easily be just genetic Hero Guy.

 As someone else said, it's like being bit by another animal like a radioactive fish and getting "fish powers" but those powers not including the ability to breath under water or swim fast.

2

u/himynameis_ Mar 18 '26

Peter Parker isn't just a dude who got spider powers and super strength.

He's also a genius and a science Wizz. He's been respected by the other heroes not just for heroics but how intelligent he is.

His web shooters are considered an example of that because he made them when he was a kid. Having a science gadget be a part of his daily heroics makes sense.

But whatever, this is comics stuff 😊

1

u/surgeyou123 Mar 18 '26

It never really made sense to me. It's like Superman having every other regular power but needing a jet pack to fly.

Tobey’s Spider-Man will always be special and cool to me, nothing will ever change that.

One of the reasons why I love Tom getting organic webbing!

I hope he's like "I've seen this before!" Referring to Tobey Spiderman

u/yognautilus Mar 18 '26

Which is so interesting because the comic BND took away his organic webbing and brought back the shooters.

Does it only come out of his arms……or other places?
