So, organic or mechanical web shooters?

Mechanical never made sense to me

>>149821664 (OP)
organic and that's not even a competition

>>149821664 (OP)
Mechanical cause it servers the plot better.

>>149821664 (OP)
Organic. The whole "Spider-Man" thing just feels kinda underwhelming otherwise.

>>149821664 (OP)
That's what we're gonna do today, we're gonna fight?

the idea of organic just feels disturbing when I think about it.
imagine having a hole in your forearm that shoots out silk and when you tug on it tugs under your skin, potentially wiggling around the edges of the whole and damaging the opening. I would lose sleep over it

>>149821664 (OP)
Organic. If he can stick on walls then why can't he inherit the ability to make webs?

>>149821754
>imagine having a hole in your dick that shoots out jizz and when you tug on it tugs under your skin, potentially wiggling around the edges of the whole and damaging the opening. I would lose sleep over it

Organic, and they should be on his ass.

The point of having it be mechanical is that Spider-man wouldn't exist without peter and his ambition/intelligence. It's like being mad he made his own suit. Just because a spider bit him doesn't mean it made him Spider-Man

>>149821821
What if he had organic webs and built his suit to cling to walls?

>>149821754
In venture bros there this spider man knockoff that shoots his webs out the back of his abdomen. Also if it came off the arms it would need to have weaving appendages to make it into a rope. Organic is better overall but it needs some explaining

>>149821664 (OP)
Mechanical and if you disagree you're a secondary piece of shit.

>>149821801
if you had a string of silk running into your dick hole that could suspend your entire weight, and you had to use it to attach to walls and swing, you would absolutely lose sleep. just imagine the potential health problems irl

>>149821664 (OP)

Organic. It makes more sense to me. besides, Spider-man already gained organic shooters when he mutated into man-spider and that was before the movies came out.

>>149821664 (OP)
one on each arm

>>149821847
What if a pig flew out of your ass. It didn't.

>>149821664 (OP)
I know mechanical is the original concept but I prefer organic. I always thought when it came to his powers his webbing was part of his set of abilities. I'm no writer but I always thought if you want to kill two birds with one stone. You give him organic webbing. But have mechanical web shooters that better weaves them.

>>149821664 (OP)
Organic. Peter just inventing hyper pressurized web cartridges with a unique formula he cooked up in his bedroom with a child's chemistry set and then being able to control them with a single button device, which he also invented despite being a dirt poor, jobless loser living on his aunt's fixed income is somehow less believable than a radioactive spider mutating his DNA and giving him super powers.

>>149821664 (OP)
Either is fine in all reality. Each comes with strengths and weaknesses conceptually.

>>149821738
this. Other left for him in terms of a spider otherwise,climbing walls?
then we should just call him Bugman already and call it a day

>>149821847
narratively it would be worse. web shooters allow him to have a bunch of different webbing and types of webshooters, leading to more interesting designs. A sticky suit doesn't add much

Everyone ITT is ignoring the real question.
How far would you probe into your wrist vaginas?
Would you fuck them?
How would you explain it to your doctor after you got stuck double shotting web?

>>149821664 (OP)
Organic production, Mechanical ejection.

>>149821745
Yes

>>149821924
I wouldn't do that at all. Same goes with any orifice.

>>149821932
Agreed, said that earlier. Has any writer tried that idea?

Starts off with mechanical, his body eventually further mutates so he can produce them organically (yes from his wrists still).

>>149821956
Yeah, we hear Captain Vaginapalms say that all the time, and we all know he's a fucking liar

>>149821932
How does he realize he needs that? Does it build up until he has a web wet dream and wakes up webbed to the bed? Does Aunt May come in and give him a hand?

>>149821664 (OP)
I like to think a combination of both, organic webs but they lack some strength and accuracy, the mechanical part its like a helper or conduct to shot more precise webs.

Aww yeah people can just fly and shit but spiderman has to use canisters of dollar tree party string because "it's more realistic"

>>149821979
I'm sorry, who?

>>149821664 (OP)
mechanical. shows hes smart. has limitations. can run out or be damaged. can easily create drama as needed. it requires he maintain it too. this means monetary commitment on chemicals for webbing, etc. another 'parker luck' type of problem for him balancing life with spiderman. it opens up avenues for dealing with vilains. mix cold weather version in winter or variation for dealing with electro and so on.

a common trope that is very good for drama and cathartic resolutions is hero vs villain with both running out of resources. in this case say pumpkin bombs and glider destroyed and spiderman out of webbing. it boils down to a street fight/brawl with both espousing ideological differences culminating in victory for the hero. how you get to that point is also usually great. something like using all webbing to save someone or forced to take attacks that damage your webshooters while helping others. you can also have other options like using up all webbing and unable to pursue villains to extend drama with some credibility. you didnt lose, but couldnt win instead of beaten or forced to have some contrivance let them go. the hero chose to save people instead and cost chance to pursue.

the organics arent spiderman. they remove too much from his character and add nothing. just garbage from jms run, the worst run in any comic book in the history of comic books. literally 3 or 4 of worst stories all time with omd, twins, norman fucking gwen, 9/11 doom crying and fanfiction spider totem nonsense. the fact the organic webbing is from there too should tell you enough about how bad it is for the character. only people that do not read or understand spiderman and just think its webbing and doesnt matter where it comes from.

>>149821938
In that case, anyone who chooses 'both' is a fence-sitting coward! Take a stand on one of these hills and start swinging!

>>149821991
>How does he realize he needs that?
"Hmm I can make webs now, but they just sort of ooze out, what if I made a device that can shoot them out quickly?"
>Does it build up until he has a web wet dream and wakes up webbed to the bed? Does Aunt May come in and give him a hand?
That's not too far off from what James Cameron was going to have in his movie kek

>>149821694
They make no sense.
Organic ones also make no sense. Either way they're part of the fantasy you must accept in order to get into Spider-Man stories.
They're functionally magic.

>>149821664 (OP)
Organic like one it's a lot easier to believe than some teenager casually creating revolutionary technology with limited resources and also doesn't make him seem like a dick for hogging said revolutionary technology

>>149821664 (OP)
This a bot thread? Because we regularly have this god awful shitpost thread

>>149821862
What the heck does that even mean?

>>149822120
anons that prefer the artificial web claim that Parker wouldn't seel the technology because of the "powers and responsibilities" thing. I still disagree,he could still do his hero duties and still make lots of money by selling the technology he manufactured

>>149822169
Movie fags have been a blight on the super hero genre since forever

>>149821738
I thought so too when I found out 616 spidey doesn't have them as a kid. Today, I'd say there's little point to web shooters unless you're going to either make him conserve ammunition, or give the devices the ability to produce several specialized types of webbing. Like the standard ropes, "glue bombs", a big sheet of the stuff, etc.

>>149822234
>I still disagree,he could still do his hero duties and still make lots of money by selling the technology he manufactured
if he did that then everyone would know he's Spider-Man

The correct answer is mechanical, the opinions of secondaries are worthless

Organic to shoot web strands, webshooters to create hax web constructs.

>>149822310
Stop making up words, loser.

>>149821664 (OP)
Mechanical is so much cooler.

>>149821664 (OP)
Both. One can act as a backup in case the other fails.
And mechanical can serve to enhance the abilities of organic slingers.

Unless you're the Brown Widow.
There's no saving that.

>>149822234
The webbing also requires Spider-man precision to handle properly

>>149821664 (OP)
organic makes more sense

Who cares?

>>149822234
He literally tried to sell it, as in the comics, the comics you supposedly read anon. People didn't want it because it was temporary, despite how many uses you'd have for it in first responder or EMT situations. Besides, they have 70 spider people now, how many of them if any are doing the organic webs? Mechanical seems to be the preferred way.

Mechanical. Only moviefags think otherwise but the Raimi films are okay. "Combination of the two" is a reddit answer for the type of fans that need everything to be canon

You think any of the spider people have fucked their wrist-ussy before?

>>149821664 (OP)
Mechanical. Peter is a genius and both the webfluid and the webshooters are a testament to this.
A good compromise is organic webs with a mechanical webshooter though, that'd allow him to keep the mehcanical genius part of the character while making the "spider" part of the "Spider-Man" name make more sense, and he'd still be able to have different configurations for his webs.
But it's not as good as just purely mechanical, as >>149821821 said, Spider-man wouldn't exist without Peter's ingenuity and intelligence

Organic is cooler.

>>149822713
Nah, I like a fusion.
Start with organic for basic webs. Peter makes the mechanical launcher for trick shots, web bombs, and shit.

>>149822665
>>149822309
Comic writers just want to have the formula (story formula) they want and that's that. They're also usually uninterested in finding a way to address it because it would take effort.
Like Peter could find more time to set up some shell company or backstory to a new identity that could then market a new adhesive to another company behind closed doors or through his own efforts and the help of an investor. This could then lead to a storyline where it's an evil company or a well-intentioned company that then has a breach in cybersecurity or security and a villain steals the formula (web formula) similar to Armor Wars or Web Wars. That could then lead to the government getting involved and confiscating the web formula to stop bad people from using it and Peter's shell identity ends up not receiving any money in the process through some underhanded shit. Peter obviously puts in the work to make the identity look legitimate and possibly finds the formula through trying to replicate a sample this person took of Spider-Man's web and this whole story could redpill kids on bureaucracy and government intersection with business. But nah, Marvel doesn't want effort in their stories.
Maybe the identity also is under scrutiny from the public who think this person is leeching off of Spider-Man..

>>149823070
But gear five luffy literally warps reality tho.

>>149821664 (OP)
Both you need the mechanical to do the fancy shit, with them Spider-Man does regular shit

>>149823070
??
are you lost,/a/ faggot?

>>149821664 (OP)
it's fucking cool that peter can invent shit. it's awesome how he has gear IN ADDITION to powers. the web-shooters, the spider-tracers, the belt light. he's always ready. plus it gives him something that can throw a fight off, if he runs out. if you run out of organic web, what, you eat more protein?

organic webbing was always retarded, but it could work for a genetically engineered character. just not as a power you'd get from your DNA being slightly spliced with a spider. That'd be navel webbing, and you'd have to pull it out yourself manually.

but in fairness yeah both are super impossible because in real life you can't shoot things out long distances, there's this thing called air

>>149822822
just reminded me that he can communicate with spiders and only used that ability twice
i think they retconned that it was totem/other shenanigans but it still wouldn't explain the island

>>149821664 (OP)
Both are unrealistic horseshit and if you argue about it you're more concerned with having the correct opinions on comics rather than reading them

>>149823204
that was that 'the other' bullshit where he also had like wrist stingers. fuck that entire thing. that's about as gay as that 'spider totem' nonsense.

>>149821745
>This is how the flip people off in Japan
Hah!

>>149821885
Were mechanisms/circuits/buttons not advanced enough in the 1960's to not recognize a button press's timing for how long it was held or switching according to how many times you pressed it in a row? I think Peter being able to switch to three different pressures or chemical mixes of the web fluid isn't too unbelievable in sci-fi Marvel world.
Also Uncle Ben having a small pressurized tank lying around doesn't seem too expensive. All that shit could be explained by Peter diving for old mechanical parts. The chemicals and believability of that is the stretch but that's just him being said to be smart and that's that. Internet nowadays makes it easier to look up all that chemical knowledge. Specialized books on spiders and chemistry shouldn't be too hard to find in New York.

>>149822713
>"Combination of the two" is a reddit answer for the type of fans that need everything to be canon
Why do you not attack the argument?

>>149821754
Tug on the corner of your mouth with your finger. Hard.

>>149821664 (OP)
There is truly no point in these threads anymore. There isn't any actual debate anymore, hardly anyone understands reason or logic, it's just two narratives being presented in what is supposed to look like organic conversation. But it is so obvious there is a script or at least pavlovian responses to triggers. Couldn't you have at least been original? No I suppose that would defeat the purpose of these threads

>>149823247
Waste of time and they're already mechanical

>>149823358
But that doesn't prove it as being the best method

>>149821664 (OP)
If you don't prefer mechanical, you're not a real Spider-Man fan. You're a Tobey-Man fan. It's as straightforward as that.

>>149821722
Raimi established Pete losing the webs due to psychological shit. Dude getting hit hard in life is a good enough obstacle and won't ever stop because that's just life.

Both.

>>149821863
>just imagine the potential health problems irl
Nigga fuck that shit. If my jizz can support my weight in the air, fuck yeah I'll do it.

>>149823233
So why didn't he patent that shit and make a fortune?

>>149823643
As explained by the original ASM issue numero uno, when Spidey wants to cash a check he would have to reveal his ID. The same would be required for a patent and more.
That is why I explained the workarounds in >>149823068 if you care to read that much and also possible story ideas to eventually get Peter back to the status quo. To add to that post, Peter still in the process could make some money and progress his life just not to becoming the next Tony Stark. That'd be what Slott did. And that's retarded.

Mechanical. It's part of Spider-Man's character and there are a lot of things that you can do with them that organically wouldn't be possible. Like magnetizing them or using a special substance, like asbestos

>>149822267
>or give the devices the ability to produce several specialized types of webbing.
That's how it was during the first run. But after that it feels like they thought that it was stupid to remark that. Bad decision

Mechanical, cause I like him being a gadgeteer. If they were organic he'd have to have exposed wrists on his suit and having a whole ass organ in your forearms would be super noticeable. Especially if his arms get engorged from not relieve his silk glands enough. Imagine having to bring a trash can into a public bathroom to piss out all your excess webs then carry the bag with you to dispose of it discreetly. Anyone who noticed would thank Peter was some kind of sick scatfag. Also wouldn't organic webs have his dna in it?

>>149822234
Yeah because that absolutely wasn't one of the first Spider-Man stories

>>149823233
>three different pressures or chemical mixes of the web fluid isn't too unbelievable

iirc it's the same mix, he only adjusts the nozzle so it shoots a wide spread or a thinner single strand or an intermediary.

>>149823643
He tried selling it but scientists considered the idea of a superglue that dissolves in an hour to be useless.

Mechanical sucks and feels like it only exists to nerf spiderman

>>149825432
I feel that way about organic. Like he can just pop another cartridge in. What's he going to do if he runs out of organic? Go "oh fuck! I need some milk!"

>>149825229
Peter is a bitter genius that probably would've been picked up by some evil org like AIM if it weren't for his powers and the lessons learned from Ben's death.

>>149825550
Ok, what does that have to do with having organic or mechanical web shooters?

>>149821664 (OP)
Spiderman having vagina slits on his wrist is freaky and not in an good way.
Something like the Red from Animal Man would have served as a cooler mechanism to explain why Spider Man has his powers

>>149823233
The kind of advanced electrical engineering that he'd need to be able to do would require tools and materials he couldn't afford. Same for the kind of machinery needed to produce tiny pressurized cartridges that can fit into a device on his wrist. They don't make tanks that small for anything, even for airsoft stuff. It's really not easily explained. It's hand-wave-able by comic logic, but it's the kind of writing you get from dumb people who think high IQ is a super power that lets you turn household objects into highly advanced technology, and Spidey/Peter is very smart, and he is a fucking comic book character, but nothing about the character requires that he also be smart enough to invent the web shooters.

>>149821821
Modern Peter literally is a guy in a nanosuit with a talking IA. He lack of Spider-sense and has X-ray vision.

Mechanical. My autism won't let me stop thinking about the caloric requirements to produce web "naturally" that he can use to swing around on buildings all the time.

organically produced, but requires a device to shoot.

>>149825590
>Something like the Red from Animal Man would have served as a cooler mechanism to explain why Spider Man has his powers
Another reason why Spidey should've been a DC character,

>>149825653
when was the last time you read ASM. He hasnt had any of that shit for a long time

>>149825575
You say mechanical adds nothing to the character, I say Peter being a genius is important to a lot of his motivations as well as how he actually beats his enemies, he doesn't just body everyone with his spider powers he'll go back to his workbench and build some gimmicky device to remove the advantage his opponent has which is why he gets characters like Sandman and Electro as villains.

>>149825860
So he shows he is a genius building stuff unrelated to his web shooters then.

>>149821821
Who wins a fight? Spider-spider or man-man?

>>149825895
How big is spider-spider? This is very important.

Infinite web sucks ass make it either organic or mechanical as long as the web runs out at some point

>>149821924
Being smothered in some white shit that came out of another man is hella gay and disgusting

>>149825877
He builds many things including his web shooters you mongoloidian retard. Web Shooters being his first major invention shows his genius because they cover essential acts he does as a hero by giving mobility, restraining enemies without harming them, and allowing near instant response to dangers like out of control vehicles to prevent crashes. Being given webs just makes his actions a convenient and obvious application of a powerset while invtenting them as a catchall tool for saving the day without harming anyone (until it backfires with Gwen and he applies his genius to learning how to use them better) shows an important vision he has for how he should use his powers.

>>149825931
Both Spider Geeks were completely emasculated when the Tugboat showed his big dick organic shooters.

>>149825947
>He builds many things including his web shooters
So he doesn't need the web shooters to show he is a genius.

>nothing about the character requires that he also be smart enough to invent the web shooters
Well it does help explain other aspects of the character when he's in a pinch and has to devise a chemical solution or something to tackle whatever sci-fi bio villain he is facing. It also tracks with him attending the radioactivity demonstration. He doesn't need to be super smart for that but it does help. Also if he's gifted then he can have more moments where he is underestimated by other heroes or villains which plays off Peter's own personality trait of sometimes being egotistical or easily angered by people. It also further plays into the origin where Peter sees himself as too smart and good to help others, just like many mad scientists do when they create their science invention and fail to help or attack others. Peter being smart enough to make web shooters while maybe not as fantastical as it was back then did serve a clear indicator to the reader of AF 15 that he has promise and the knowhow to provide for himself in some way and it signals the power he already has and how you the normal person can use science or whatever talent you have responsibly.
Him just getting the organic webs doesn't change too much but it does smooth over stuff that can serve for more creative ground to explore.

>>149826445
>not as fantastical as it was back then
Sorry I meant not as fantastical as it is now than it was back then. People didn't know as much about engineering so they didn't see anything wrong with it. Also it is a children's product.

make them mechanical so a competent villain can break them and create a better fight scene

>>149821664 (OP)
Organic fluid and mechanical shooters there is no argument against this combo. It both keeps the genius aspect and allows different web types and makes his powerset more spiderey on top of keeping webshooters exclusive to Peter. One of the biggest plotholes in spider-man lore is not being able to make a profit off of artificial webbing.

>>149821664 (OP)
Organic makes sense thematically (on the surface), but Mechanical is literally ties into Peter Parker and is thus much more thematic to his overall personality and MO
Organic is not that common to begin with and it's very obvious as to why, but there's 100+ replies at this point and multiple comic panels posted to back me up so I'm just barking at the wind

Anyone who says mechanical “because it makes for good drama when he runs out of cartridges” is a dumb smelly baby-dicked idiot who can’t think of any way to write a story with ACTUAL drama and stakes…

Organic makes more sense for a spider based hero but in Peter's case the mechanical shooters are important because he's a science guy doing science things, it helps establish parts of his character and can be used to raise stakes.
Organic fluid and mechanical shooters would make for an interesting change to his character, but watch Marvel take that idea and make that Miles' thing somehow, on top of giving him more, newer powers and costumes.

>>149822353
I'd have it the other way around. Webshooters as his workhorse and organic for the fancy stuff.

>>149825385
>nozzle
Man I forgot. That's another thing. I know Peter gets dogged on for writers and their stupid decisions on how they write the parker luck like Peter forgetting simple stuff or being dumb about planning certain things.
But Peter forgetting to switch the nozzle on his web shooter so that when he expects a stream instead of impact webbing could lead to funny stuff like him expecting to rope somebody in but instead they get socked in the face with an impact webbing shot.
As for the mix of organic and mechanical idea, it's ok. But I dunno I'd rather it just be one or the other (heh). Kinda getting into the weeds in a different way and complicating it further.

I see people say this, but Spidey has other gadgets besides the web shooters.

Dikto's loved his gadgets. As expected of someone who was a fan of Batman IIRC.

>>149828030
One of his teachers was a Batman artist, Jerry Robinson

Its a shame that Raimi didn't got with the gadgets for the sake of realism. The final design in the cut footage had a really cool DIY feel.

>>149828015
The difference is that other the gadgets are often one off or secondary tools.
Having the Web Shooters be tech allows that part of his character to be meaningful in his core toolkit.

Peter not having tech shooters is like a character we are told constantly is a very accurate shot with a gun not having any kind of gun in their base toolkit.

I don't really see this as a problem. Frankly, without being able to naturally shoot webs, I question why Pete went specifically with a spider theme at all, since it's an uphill battle in terms of PR. Spiders aren't super appealing creatures, and he's been worried about people being scared of him before. What makes Spidey Spider-Man without the webs? Wall crawling? Plenty of things can crawl walls.

The fact he got bit by a spider to gain his powers.

Sure, that's the source, but why make it the theme if it could cause problems? Are the Fantastic Four the "Cosmic Ray Gang"? Batman is Batman because he wants to scare people. At a baseline, Pete has super-strength, fast reaction time, and can climb walls. He could have a possum theme. People like possums.

That's fair and while I understand you point in a vacuum and can only respond with "it was the 60s and they wanted a catching set-up" I do not think it is a meaningful enough argument to counteract that character value added by making the webshooters tech.
I fell like this will be the hard gap between us that will make everything past this ineffective if you want to continue this argument.
Also separate from the point
>He could have a possum theme. People like possums.
No they don't on the elvel of it being worthwhile by your own criteria unless you a conservationist or nature sciences weirdo.

Organic. Why do all these people even come to the conclusion that they have spider powers if they can't shoot webs?

The correct answer is mechanical, worn outside the costume.
We call this a "Dirty Reilly" here in NYC (New York City for you outsiders). The best thing too is that you dont even have to cover up you just put on your hoodie and slap on your shooters and start firing and its always sticky and ready to sling

What web shooting/slinging devices do you have where you live?

>Also, that adaptation of the guy that transform into sand is kino

I was imagining it like this:
he has two tiny holes at the bottom of each palm (when not in use they contract and become invisible), he can use his fingers to pull silk out and weave it, basically the same way spiders do, but can't lauch them (unless, like, he makes a lasso or something)
i know that superhero tech isn't meant to make sense, but this also elegantly solves the classic problem of "why is he just keeping this invention to himself" all superhero inventors have: the web shooters only work for him since he produces silk himself

>>149821664 (OP)
Both, at the same time
He doesn't need the mechanical shooters, but he can do way more shit with them than he can without.

How does he shoots trough the glove? Mechanical webshooter can have tip stick out. Organic doesn't work.

Beyond the points about mechanical web shooters showcasing Peter's intellect, they also offer more to the story.
Running out of web fluid or having the shooter break or jam is a tried and true form of drama, as is being caught without them if Peter isn't prepared. Having to actually pay to be able to get around is a problem that is pretty uniquely his as well.
Organic webs ditch all of that and the only "benefit" is that he gets one more power from the spider.

>>149828807
He gets the power of the spider that's actually distinct to the spider.

And? Who cares?
