Web-Shooters Appear In Next Spider-Man Film Because Spidey's Smart

This is one of the reasons I hated the organic web angle in the original trilogy. Now Spidey has to play it smart and his webbing will probably run out early on against a major villain to demstrate his inexperience at this crime fighting stuff. You can do a lot more with the web shooters.Erana said:
I'll probably end up watching it, but I'm not sure how excited I am for it. I never really liked or disliked the web-shooters or lack thereof, so I can't say that's important to me. Not too sure what to make of the trailer, though. Who's the villain? Is that girl supposed to be Mary Jane?
Kinda interesting to see Peter's parents, but I'm afraid they are going to be shoehorned into the plot.

Except I remember in the old cartoon, anytime they needed a commercial break Spidey would fall off a building and find that he had run out of webbing in both web-shooters at the same time.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
I was thinking they use it bit better than that. Like running out against The Lizard first fight and getting brutalized to set up tension for the Act 3 showdown/climax.Saltyk said:
Yeah, they can [sub]hopefully[/sub] do better than that in a movie. I'd hate to see them overusing it just for some forced tension to the point where you could call it a subplot of the movie. Your idea would be much better.RedEyesBlackGamer said:
Honestly, I never understood why he didn't have some kind of gauge. If my greatest power had such a bad Achilles Heel, I'd keep on eye on my fluid levels and keep them maxed out or close to it at all times.
I kind of glad that they using the mechanical web-shooters since the "organic" web from Sam Raimi Spiderman wasn't in the comic until the film arrive and the comic took up that idea instead.
This isn't a fanboyish reaction since I understand why they went organic in the first film (made it easier to understand for non comic people and not adding scenes on how he made the web-shooter if they did went with that route).
I can easily guess in the film either the idea spring into his mind of he had anaylse that web from his neck and reverse engineer the web and along with a way to shoot it out.

So wait, he has web shooters because he's smart, but he's enough of a bleeding idiot to wander alone into a gigantic spider lair inside a laboratory? That's not smart at all! And who the hell makes their giant spider lair inside a laboratory so easy to get itno anyway?!
And where the hell is J Jonah Jameson, oh, that's right, not in this film! There's no reason for me to see this!

Emma Stone is playing Gwen Stacy. Peter Parker's first (some say only) true love.Saltyk said:
Villain is the Lizard, who is Peter Parker's mentor Curt Connors. He is being played by Rhys Ifans.
The first person scene looks a bit cheapo tbh. The whole thing just looks too cgi to take it seriously or get any sense of vertigo or real motion.
the rest of the film looks ok, and im a big fan of the other spiderman films. I do think it's strange to remake this though. They remade hulk and it wasn't much better.

erhm...i do believe if you are called the "hammer", you will more than likely either film or star in a porn..Ghengis John said:
OT: meh either way this movie will probably be pretty good, so next summer def. has me intrigued with everything else coming out on top of this
The web cartridges are great because they do serve as a plot device (this was mentioned before). This was especially the case in the cartoons where Peter's web cartridge would run out at critical moments.
The new spiderman movies made it all the way through the first film without having to rely on this plot device. But then comes the 2nd film when Spiderman gets all mopey and depressed and is all of a sudden unable to use his powers. I don't buy that his powers can be emotionally impeded; woulda made more since just to run out of web cartridge.

So they do both
he starts with web shooters.
then at Point A he runs out. And Retreats.
at Point B he runs out again, but then during the fight they get smashed off, and he manages to use biological ones.
I always thought the mechanical ones were stupid, because they don't seem like something you would invent
To me the webs define him as a spider having them not be natural he may was well just be ICANSTICKTOWALLSMAN

So instead he's now a bumbling idiot who doesn't know a giant radioactive spider lair he shouldn't be in when he sees one, or his moral fibre is so far gone he happily and gladly trespasses in a laboratory, yup, real improvement.
His biggest power is his ability to shoot web? I would have thought it was his super-strength or his super-agility or his ability to stick to walls or his ability to detect danger before it happens. By far his ability to shoot web is his most useless ability without his other power he would just be some punk kid that can money shot for his wrists.varulfic said:
While thematically it is a cool power practically it is a pretty uselessly power on its own.
To add insult to injury that was simply the first level and can easily be done in the demo version.SpiderJerusalem said:
Wow a director actually trying to respect the source material? I must be dreaming.
I didnt notice the web-shooters and actually didnt think they where going to be in it considering the trailer has web string coming out of him. Im thinking these web-shooters are designed to pull that and shoot it through the costume. Very nice.
I hearby take back all the negative things Ive said and eagerly await further news.
