Tom holland is my favoite, closest to the comics i'd say so far. Tobey wasnt bad in itself, but far from being quite as good as tom holland
Thome216
Let's see how they deal with that in Spiderman 3!
That's awesome!!
Silentredemption
I like that in Toby's Spiderman he had webbing his body produced, but I also like the technology around creating web shooters.
Kbantar
So literally the only truly spider-like ability he has is tech in most iterations? That's rather dumb even for comics. lol
alicekek
Toby is the only spidey for me. Prolly since I grew up watching him as spiderman

And the people are wrong. The only reason people like those movies is the nostalgia
Your point? Let's be real here, this applies to a lot of far worse movies than Maguire's Spiderman.
Eldibs
To be fair, MCU Spiderman did later get a full-on suit with built in web shooters made for him by Stark.

Is that show of Garfield even from Amazing Spider-Man? Looks like Social Network.

It cool that they will be in spider man 3
LordofSandvich
Wait, really? The new spider-men need web shooting devices? Did he not get bit by a radioactive spider in the new ones???
faultysage
OG Spidey had to build a web shooter. The bite gave him super human physical attributes, wall climbing and the spidey sense.
I need to brush up on my comic lore. Plenty of time over christmas break!
deafmute
Pretty much only the OG film Spider-Man doesn't need web shooters. Even in the comics he makes gadgets and tech.
andrewrankin1087360
Arent there like 2 different vwraions of spiderman, one called spiderman who is like toby and amazing spiderman who makes canisters?
digiorno88
There's a lot of variations of spiderman. As with all comic book heroes
yeah and the multiverse and shit creates different timelines and what have you too
Sebofthelandofsleep
Garfield's Spidey is much closer to the original comics. That version can only make organic webs while wearing the Symbiote (Venom) costume.
I kiked garfield as spiderman,great movies, like hollands and mchuires. Id prefer they stay close to the comics
StupiClickJunkie
Yes I love the full on genetic mutation instead of the half ass web shooters

I love the homemade webshooters. Peter is a genius with limited resources. Usually...
oblimo
Considering that he could patent the 1hr-to-complete-dissolving adhesive and sell it to 3M for a few hundred million dollars.
AverySillyName
The reason they were tech instead of a mutation in the first place was because you couldn't show bodily fluids in comics at the time.
Il1kepuns
Yeah but like, it would mean he'd be shooting webs out of his ass.
Peynus
Did he stutter???
ministryofpeace
it's all about the tubing built into the suit. Well, that and good pressure levels.
That could be a side effect, we really don't know and it would be rude to assume he doesn't
LittleLordThudleroy
With great power comes great responsibility

sumothername
XEndeadX
It always seemed kinda forced to me, like "I've got spider powers so guess I have to build gadgets to shoot web and no other gadgets"
That's the big weakness in the "he's a super genius!" thing for me. He's invented like one thing, conveniently related to his power set.
Just make it organic and be done with it.
FallenKingSetonis
That's the movies, in the comics he made countless gadgets. Trackers, tracers, a car, gliders, web bombs, static webs, armor, etc.
juliovonmatterhorn
Spider glider, you say?
LuminoZero
In the comics, he developed the idea for the Web Shooters LONG before he was Spider Man. Flash Gordon knocked Aunt May down while on 1/
his skateboard and ran off, while Peter thought if there was some way he could reach out and grab him, which inspired him to design them.
Also, the trigger for it was designed to ONLY discharge with the middle and ring finger, so it didn't go off when he made a fist.
LostItAtThePunchline
*Flash Thompson; Gave me a good chuckle, though, so thank you!
DysgraphicProgrammer
FLASH! AH AHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Colopty
Yeah it feels better to just have the web shooting be a part of him instead of something anyone could theoretically do.
UsernameMatt
I remember reading a comic when I was a kid where Parker had to drink a solution to use his web. I can't remember much about it.
It made a LOT more sense in context. I've always preferred that to a HS kid inventing super-advanced tech, honestly.
ThatTransformersDude
I'm in between, sometimes it was a fun moment when he ran out and had to improvise but i sure love how he could use organic web in other way
MrTay
Same. I know but the comics, and he’s a genius, etc. I still like it more when it comes straight from his arm.
Meh. Who isn't in those comics? I prefer it be organic. If it's tech, others can build copies of it. Tech is almost always less special.
Fasrill
Well there was a time during the comics when he had organic web shooters. I think it happened around the time the first movie came out.
oopsIdroppedmypocketpasta
Yes. They had to do some weird stuff to Petey to make it work.
rophiandis
There was also a time when he had bone claws. That was also a bad idea
6bender
Wasn't it he was captured and flown to south america when it was cut out. I want to say I read it in a comic book with Carnage.
Reinerskyes
Ultimate universe spiderman was organic and for a while after the man spider arc in the main verse he had organic but it faded eventually.
After one more day i think its when it went back to shooters
aristera
Going organic was a studio decision to cut out a whole section of movie of Perter making them. It was a short cut.
Rifneno
Changing from web shooters to organic in comics was done as logically as possible: he gave birth to himself and the original died.
NecroNikolai13
The writers and I seem to have very different ideas of "logically as possible"
HoodsBallsOnASkillet
I like the ability to customize the mechanical shooters. With the bio ones, he has one setting. Admittedly, no movie has explored that yet
Firemonsterlols
Customizing the shooters? Both Homecoming and the 2nd Andrew Garfield had modified webshooters.
3nd3rwiggin
The showed him shooting "web balls" so there has been some variation.
AllysiaAiua
Didn't far from home touch on him making different web blasts?
He is talking about the Sam Raimi movies where the web shooters are biological rather than mechanical gizmo's.
Fastiee
In the second mcu spiderman movie he has different webs to pick from for his webshooter? Electric etc.. or is that not what you mean?
RayMC
They have, briefly. The suit AI in Homecoming walked him through all sorts of different shooter settings for his webs. It’s gotta be my fav.
StarkRG
Sadly Peter didn't invent them, though. Peter is supposed to be at least as smart as Tony, but the recent movies don't really show that.
Icecreaman
With Tony gone they've set him up to grow in to that mantle if they do it right.
Yeah, but they really needed to feature his super-intelligence before now. He didn't even hack his own suit, his friend did that.
Duraxis
It’s more logical that he’d mutate them rather than suddenly knowing the recipe to make them
SwedishFlopper
I like when the web shooters break. So cool to see Spidey think on his feet without them.
Satan ex machina.
I mean, same thing happens with organic when he runs out of fluid in his glands. Neither has an infinite supply so they can both "break."
Not like he'd need shooters for that to happen though, it's not like biological web production is limitless.
I guess toby did run out after feeling stressed out.
andyskeels
Same.
It's a neat idea, for sure, but, from a storytelling perspective, I think technological web shooters are better. It allows him to run out,
adding suspense, but it also allows him to modify them, adding features to the shooters or improving the chemical formula of the web fluid.
DrArsMoriendi
It feels more limitless somehow. And the web shooters break as often as a Star Trek teleporter
I love it. They break/run out as often as the plot demands. More narrative possibilities; you can always come up with an excuse to have them
WorkerLurker
They run out a lot, but it’s usually just to remind people he’s not a full on spider... anymore...
It just makes the whole idea more awesome , a full mutation with all the fixings. Like if I win the lottery I want the whole shebang
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
So, not *that* often?
Psionickitten
Main reason transporters break is because it wouldn't make narrative tension if it could be used... Which really weakens the immersion.
PaintedSlate
Yeah, problems would have to be much more complex, with fine, abstract lines between instant death and trivially easy success.
LasciviousHedgehog
Limitless? I applaude your production volume. It would be disapointing if spidermen could only swing 5 times in 24hours without running dry
Just say it’s magic, or one of the other things the writers are too lazy to explain
MrRareza
I can swing at LEAST 8 times a day!
nesurame
That would add a whole new dynamic to his character, like, he'd hafta build his own spiderman-infrastructure
, it'd be way creepier when he just has huge spider webs everywhere, ready to store villains at a moments notice
And chug a lot of water/pineapple juice to keep his fluids up
ThanosTheGreat
Yeah that honestly kinda annoyed me how they had to make web shooters. Like what’s the point of being bitten by the spider then...
JediMasterPickledBadger
In the comics he orginally was a genius and only for the reflexes, climbing walls, super strength is what he got from the spider.
yourcreepyunclefriendly
super speed and jumping too. He could run like 100mph
xuriV
