Why Does Spider-Man Need Web Shooters?
WouterIf you’ve watched any of the Spider-Man films, you’ve probably heard that Spider-Man has a device that shoots webs. The devices are called web-shooters, and they’re a vital part of the Spider-Man character. There are two different types of web shooters: mechanical and organic.
When Peter Parker first started as Spider-Man in comics, he didn’t have any web-shooters. Eventually, he created his own. Then, he began to use his web-shooters for longer periods of time. In 2002, when Spider-Man first came out, many fans wondered whether the movie’s use of web-shooters was real or not.
Sam Raimi originally wanted to use mechanical web-shooters. He thought that it would make the film more realistic. But he also felt that it would be difficult and expensive to produce.
He ultimately switched to organic web-shooters. He thought they would make Peter Parker more realistic. But they caused a snafu when they were used in Spider-Man: No Way Home. Fortunately, he managed to avoid a major problem in the next Spider-Man movie.
After the Spider Island event, Peter Parker was able to create his own webbing. He learned the chemical formula for the webbing, and then reverse-engineered the process himself. He was then able to shoot webs from his arms.
The next generation of web-shooters were developed by Curt Conners. They had a crossbow mode and holographic scope, as well as a button that could create web-parachutes. But the controversy over organic web-shooters made their debut in Spider-Man: No Way Home.
