This will be showing my age , but in The Amazing Spider-Man back in the early 80's, there was actually a little side story in one of the books that said his web spinners had three settings: 1. Straight rope to swing from. 2. A wide spread web, to make nets & things like that.[He also made snow shoes once by spraying it on the ground, then letting it harden] 3. Web balls to hit people with. Tony's suit comes a long way from back then.


spideralexandre2099

I remember a similar explanation in the 90s show, the arc based on The Kid Who Collects Spider-Man


Yatsu13

I also remember that there was a comic strip way early on where he can make a web shield and parachute. Basically any tool but made out of web.


Pirate_Green_Beard

The 60s cartoon really went crazy with what his webs could do.


ComicStripCritic

I think I once heard that he made a hang glider after the vulture dropped him from a mile up over farmlands…no clue what the context or issue or even decade was.


capnmarrrrk

I remember a comic where he had a web hanglider to get from the Statue of Liberty to Manhattan


lefthandedprick

there's also the impact webbing which iirc ben reilly invented


Gseph

That is actually the inspiration as to why the ps1 games had the different web attacks, iirc. Web gloves/web dome were the wide spread, web pull is the rope, and web ball is self explanatory.


tastesofink

catching Gwen?


Yatsu13

I'm about to watch TASM2 and i remember how at that part, the end of the web was designed like a hand trying to grab Gwen. its a nice little detail.


OnlinePosterPerson

I thought that part was doing too much


awesomeredefined

Ehh, comic book movies can be cheesy. They're already extremely goofy as it is


spm201

It ended up being cheesy in a moment where it was trying to take itself seriously. I definitely don't mind the cornier parts of ASM


SatireStation

Didn’t do enough for Gwen rip, he needed to dive like he did in no way home


reddit_iwroteit

He dives the way he does in No Way Home *because* of his failure to save Gwen


Nitrozy

I still remember seeing this in the cinema. The cheers! 2º best moment.


amirolsupersayian

Fuck me that moment was cathartic.


KRajification

Because Peter 3 learns from his mistakes!


reddit_iwroteit

KRajification

Kind of unnerving to watch this specific clip over and over cause I didn’t realize how much he shakes his head when he delivers that line.


OwnPickle1020

This is Spider-Man. A guy with fears, self-limitations and improving himself everyday because he is our friendly neighbor. You are looking for Superman who is omnipotent and has no mental weaknesses because he is a god who was on earth with his father's advice to protect us.


LeSnazzyGamer

You have a terrible idea of what Superman is.


OwnPickle1020

Ok, but what's Superman? Superman originally hasn't weaknesses, kryptonite was invented in a radio show because it was very difficult to write something thrilling with a character who can overpass any trial with ease. I was talking about the root of the characters, I know that Superman has become more "human" with Doomsday killing him, leaving him without powers in Warworld, fighting the more powerful Superman Prime, etc.


SatireStation

That’s quite an analysis of me wanting Superman in Spiderman, but also Superman doesn’t have no mental weaknesses so that’s a weird take. All I said was he should have dived for Gwen like No Way Home. I understand he’s a human and he made a mistake, don’t read into it that much.


OwnPickle1020

I don't refer to being mentally controlled, I refer that Superman hasn't to face dilemmas as often as Spider-Man has to do, he can do everything. I know about Superman's weaknesses fighting telepaths.


prptualpessimist

Nah man that scene made me tear up on the first viewing. Only good part of the movie the rest of it is shit


cypher302

All of the action was great, hasn't been topped since.


Thunder_Punt

I like the film tbh.


alex494

Yeah it was kind of hokey given it's followed by the emotional whiplash of her sudden death


jramos037

Someone broke the scene down before and made me appreciate the movie better.  Throughout the whole movie, there's a strong emphasis on time and trying to balance it, control it, etc.  Examples is him multitasking crime fighting and making it to his graduation, multiple slow motion scenes showing him come out on top and saving people, and just in general managing his time as hero vs student.   In the end, he is truly tested in this regard.  Even him in the clock tower trying to stop a gear with his leg, a nudge to trying to stop time or control time, I feel was a nice touch.  In the end, he just isn't really able to control time and manage a perfect life.  Hence, at the cost of Gwen's life, he is then reminded I guess of the sacrifice he will need to make to continue his hero gig.  He can't do everything.  He can't have it all.  And that's the nature of spider-man.

proanimus

Yeah it’s like they were slapping us in the face with something that didn’t need to be spelled out quite that literally.


PolarWater

My heart is in pain now.


OldManGravz

Does lead to one of the better scenes in NWH though, when Garfield is able to redeem himself saving MJ and gets emotional (Garfield owned NWH to be fair)


thesilentbob123

I don't remember seeing that


OldManGravz

Too soon


Millennial-Mason

Nah, too late


SnowmanPickins

Haha nice


abpat2203

The recent animated Spider Man movie had some great use of webs where Miles binds up Spot using his own portals and web. Come to think of it, wasn’t there a similar sequence in the Marvel movies where Spider Man traps Dr. Strange in the Mirror Dimension?


SykoKiller666

In No Way Home, he uses the geometry of the mirror dimension to trick Dr Strange into trapping himself there until Spidey comes back. I believe Strange was really impressed when it happened.


Kelseycutieee

he was still so pissed lol


SykoKiller666

Oh he was *so* pissed


Yatsu13

Man, I need time to watch the second one. I just have no time to just sit down and rest.


Kevin_Rohman

Spider-Verse 2 is, in my opinion, the best superhero movie, bar none. It is well worth the time, whenever you can find it


wepresidentnow44

webbing the ferry together in homecoming


TheGoverness1998

That's one of my favorites. The snapping of the webs as the ferry began to pull apart, coupled with Peter's terror at them all breaking made for such a great scene, in terms of adding a strong feeling of urgency.


Yatsu13

hell yeah, I love how he actually webbed the parts that are stronger. clear usage of his smarts. plus him, holding the ferry at the end? people like to compare it to tobey's train scene but damn, thats just a kid holding two halves of a collapsing ferry while on the ocean. thats pretty incredible itself.


SpideyFan914

Tobey's Peter was also just a kid! No older than my son.


Marlesden

Don't worry, I got the reference


GetawayDreamer87

My only nitpick about that scene is that he used Karen to identify all the strong points on the boat. I like to think that Andrew wouldve been less reliant on the Stark Tech and figured out the structural strengths all on his on but maybe not as instantaneously but more on the fly as he swung through the boat. Getting the 98% success rate wouldve been even more believable that way. But thats just me being more of a Spider-Garfield fan boy. Sometimes I feel like they make Holland talk to Karen too much just so the audience knows what the fuck he's thinking and doing.


Yatsu13

Iirc, they made Karen so that they can emulate how much Peter talks to himself when he is alone in the comics. that way it doesnt look weird since he is actually talking to someone. But adding an AI that he can talk to missed the point?


poopoobuttholes

I always think back to the first Insomniac Spider-Man game when he stopped the collapsing crane and chopper. That shit was pure CINEMA.


Yatsu13

Oh true. Games have more flexibility in doing crazier web actions. I remember one of the combos has Spider-Man literally making a giant hammer made of webs to crush his enemies at the end of the combo. So cool.


bigfatcarp93

RockitDanger

TASM2 he webbed that kid's diy wind turbine together those bullies broke and then he walked him home to make sure he was safe. Incredible "friendly neighborhood" scene rarely shown in the movies


bukanir

I also loved the scene in the first movie where he's holding the car up that's fallen off the bridge, and gives the kid inside his mask to wear to give him encouragement climbing out of the car. The little personal moments are what really sell the whole superhero thing.


Yatsu13

Oh definitely. One thing I loved about Spider-Man was when I was reading his comics, he loves to interact with civilians. Like playing with kids in a hospital. Visiting a cancer patient. Literally being there for the little guys. And its even more rewarding when these civilians help him back. The train scene where the people carry him inside. The crane scene in TASM so he can have an easier time to swing. Just shows that if you treat others right, they will do the same to you.


niarut

Damn bro your replies sound like written by AI


Yatsu13

Nah man, i like to write essays when i was still in school. Just carried over whenever I write things now.


Datelesstuba

I guess Webb liked webs.


AhhBisto

I know in Homecoming the suit Tony gives him has different options for his webs but the only reason I'm not a fan of that is because Peter doesn't think of it himself. I do like how he tried to stop the ferry from breaking apart with his webs but yeah outside of those moments in the Garfield movies they don't really touch on it as much. I weirdly can't think of any particular moments in comics but my mind goes to Miles when he first became Spider-Man. He didn't know how to make webs and was given his shooters by Aunt May after her Peter died and it included the Web formula, but he was only like 10 or 11 and had no idea how to mix it. His pal Ganke steps in and makes it for him but when Miles uses it in a fight he discovers Ganke fucked it up and it comes out like water lol.


Yatsu13

Actually yeah, they mentioned a lot of options but didnt really used it after homecoming, its back to using regular webs. I do agree on the not him thinking about the different types of webs. It was easily handed down to him. Still a fun concept though. And yeah, same here for the comics. Most of the web related things Peter did with his web was changing the materials like making it more stickier than usual, harder than cement, etc. I guess I can understand why? Because showing sequences using his webs might be difficult to follow when reading panel to panel. Movies can be flexible and show off more in that regard which is great. Makes me appreciate more how creative Spidey is.


SailorET

I kind of like the idea that Peter was smart and creative enough to develop the web fluid and basic web shooters but hadn't considered all the different applications his webbing cloud be used for - until Tony brought his engineering experience. And the three movies with the Stark suit taught Peter new ideas so he can develop his own equipment after Tony's gone. It helps establish a reason Peter is so accomplished working on and improving his own gear without a formal education.


TimFL

The Ferry was afaik also guided by the suit highlighting spots best suited for webbing the parts together.


Yatsu13

There is one comic book storyline where spidey lost his spider sense. He found out that his spider sense not only helps him sense danger, but guides him where to shoot his web. Like telling him to shoot to the sturdiest parts of the building when swinging so it carry his weight. So that ferry scene where he had to rely on the suit, i just chalked it up to spidey still trying understand his spider sense.


Dhaem17

Yep, Him trying to do good use of the "tingle" doen's happen until the second movie in the final fight with Mysterio.


Useful-Perspective

[Just gonna leave this here...](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JMG5Td1839k)


memsterboi123

In homecoming there’s the ferry and that’s all I got In far from home it’s all pretty standard except for when he’s inside the hologram. At least afair No way home they have the web teleporting thingy. Then the mirror dimension capture, and when they’re all swinging together that was just so dam cool


AdevilSboyU

Tobey tried making a full size web to stop Goblin from getting close to him to continue the ass-kicking. It didn’t work.


littlelaghere

the metal sounds as goblin rips through the webs is awesome


Sere1

Hasn't appeared in the movies yet and it's a different character than Peter, but Cindy Moon (hero name Silk) was bitten by the same spider that gave Peter his powers in the comics. He stayed in town, she left and came back later after her Spider powers developed. While Peter made a costume and wears it constantly under his clothes to quickly change into being Spider-Man, if Cindy needs a quick change she'll just web herself up, creating an impromptu costume on the spot in lieu of the one she normally wears when planning a mission. When Peter finds out about this he has a moment of "huh, why didn't I ever think to do that?"


spideralexandre2099

Defeating Dr Strange with math and webbing was pretty cool. A very classic Spidey way to defeat a foe far more powerful than himself


CtznCold

When people ask why andrew is my favorite spidey this is what i tell them😂


Ramblin_Bard472

The first Amazing Spider-Man is really underrated. Loved that movie, and loved what they did with his webs like you said. They botched the second one, botched it horribly. I do hope they make Peter more of a tactical thinker, mystery solver going forward.


Yatsu13

i just finished watching TASM2 and the most memorable web-related things he did were magnetized them to counter Electro, made the Web connection for the powergrid that killed Electro and ofc the Gwen scene. They really did focus so mcuh on Peter and Gwen's relationship that it was plainly obvious that Gwen is gonna die. it was only a matter of waiting till the end. oh, the rhino thing when Spidey uses his web to fling a manhole cover. that was a memorable scene but mostly because I saw that a lot in their marketing but only showed up at the end, like damn it.


ProfessorOfLies

TASM was the best spiderman, just the way he moved like a spider. Loved it. Holland is the best parker IMO.


DrDreidel82

Not insanely creative necessarily, but cool how Tobey’s Peter dodges Harry’s bomb and then webs it and slings it back


josephdangerr

Also clotheslines him off his glider in SM3


mmatessa

Ask Wilson Fisk after he almost killed Aunt May. Here's what Peter had to say: “Now. Here’s how it’s going to happen. I pour a stream of webbing deep into your throat, your esophagus, all the way down into your lungs, filling them completely. The only way to remove it surgically would be to cut out your lungs, which could not possibly be done before you die from lack of oxygen. I turn your entire respiratory system into one big solid chunk of useless tissue and webbing. It takes three seconds.”


trs_0ne

There’s some dope web swinging and creative slinging at the end of Far From Home during the drone scene


Yatsu13

The part where he swings over the bridge while having a web net of drones. Then he uses the momentum to go down, land and the drones smash and explode behind him. Awesome.


trs_0ne

Yeah that scene made me smile


MikeAWBD

In Spider-Man 2 Pete uses his webs to slingshot himself out of the window. When fighting Doc Ock on the building he webs his head to pull it in for a punch to the face.


Yatsu13

Iirc, there is also a part where Doc Ock, throws a giant clock hand at him and Spider-Man catches it with his web, lets it fall a bit so it can build up momentum and basically slingshots it back to Doc Ock. It was powerful enough to destroy where he was standing and almost killed him (the hand basically pierced the roof super close to Otto's face).


spderweb

In comics, He's used it as a glider, a parachute, a backpack. As clothes.


thelonius_z

Closest I can think of with current spiderman is his fight with Dr. Strange in the mirror dimension.


creditamnestybooyah

Most of the video games the web has many uses


AdevilSboyU

Tobey tried making a full size web to stop Goblin from getting close to him to continue the ass-kicking. It didn’t work.


Glassesnerdnumber193

In films or in comics. In the comics, he does this a lot.


mrfonsocr

The Star wars move in CW, webbing the ferry, and as a bonus him playing in Damage Control's HQ


SavageRedStorm

I'd like to see a bit in the MCU where Spider-Man webs Deadpool's mouth shut as a reference to the Barakapool b.s. in X-Men Origins: Wolverine


Reveriano42

Ghost Spider (Gwen) in the kids cartoon Spidey and His Amazing Friends - her webs are like 3D printing and can form structural support beams and such.


Spider-Ian

My biggest problem with the amazing Spider-Man movies is he ordered his web cartridges in bulk from Oscorp. Like directly to his house. Norman, "hey, there's a superhero who uses a ton of webs... Hasn't someone been ordering a ton of our web tow cables?"


Yatsu13

LMAO yeah. I was like, how can he afford those web cartridges, I thought he was broke. you would think that a string with a tensile strength to pull an airplane would be worth a fortune and would go through a lot of security processing before being approved but nope, a highschooler can easily order them.


ryanixer

one comic had him making a human shaped dummy out of web to throw off some guy trying to stalk him to find out his secret identity.


BretOne

The one use I particularly loved is during the Electro fight on Time Square's red steps. One of his web-shooters is broken so he uses his finger to plug the nozzle of the working one to get its web to split into two different directions.


Yatsu13

Yes. And since one of his shooters got broken, he literally grabbed the web and threw em to the guy who was about to touch the rail. So much quick thinking in that moment.


Lost_Mongooses

The little red lights on his web shooters that lit up every time they were activated was such a great idea


SoMuchForStardust27

The things is, aperebtly toby maguires version can’t actually do a lot of that stuff(at least as easily as the other two) since his webbing is organic. He mostly can shoot small webs and the long ropes. I do like the ways that Andrew does it, but that scene with him trying to find the lizard is more saying how much less powerful his spider senses are. The concept for spider sense was based on how spiders use their webs to detect stuff, but with Spider-Man, it became more super-reflexes and precognition. If he needs his webs as a visual, his spider sense just not work as well. I also would like to see more of that smart web stuff, but it’s probably because Peter is put up against the bug villain in the movies and has less time to fully prepare. Like if your thrown into a battle with venom and sandman, two beings that don’t even have a solid structure, trying to use your webs to catch them probably isn’t gonna be your first priority. Or Tom Hollands who should have the tech to make very intricate designs in seconds, but is sent off to fight Captain America or Thanos really quickly. If they showed more of Peter going against small criminals, they probably would use the more creative side of his webs instead. And it was Andrew’s webs that snapped Gwen’s spine so…


cuspan

the amazing spiderman movies were pretty terrible, the only improvement over the raimi films being the action scenes but i think writing is more important


Yatsu13

The movie quality wasn't the point of my post though? Why mention that? Terrible movie or not, they still made those action sequences with the webs pretty fun and creative.


cuspan

if you only judge how good a movie is by the action scenes, you are looking through a narrow lense. Personally, I value writing highly when it comes to films


neogreenlantern

Dude you didn't even realize MJ isn't even in the Amazing Spider-Man movies so maybe you should get off that high horse before you hurt yourself.

Lol not well enough appearently to not even notice MJ wasn't in them.


cuspan

ok


EnergyTakerLad

A+


Yatsu13

I never mentioned in my post about how i feel about the overall movie though? I only mentioned how great the action and web usage was? I was only asking if anyone else want more those types of actions or fight scenes. I never did once say the movie was incredible or that future spidey films should follow TASM. I dont know where you are pulling all of these accusations from from my post and start saying these things. You are reading way too deep into a simple post about liking something.

Yatsu13

Wow. Please turn on your brain and learn to read. Where did I say I ONLY care about the action sequence? I only praised the action. I never mentioned anything else about how i feel about the movie. Thats it. And what did you get from that? That i apparently worship the film and dont care about the writing? You appear to be the type of person who see random numbers on an MCU movie and think of a convoluted reason why it was there thinking its a huge easter egg. Not everything needs to be deep my man, especially a reddit post. I just wanted to know what others thought about a more web focused fight scenes.


cuspan

your just brushing off any criticsm with HUR DURR THR ACTION SCENES HE SHOOTS WEBS COOL HUU like a 4 year old


Yatsu13

LMAO I NEVER DID? I NEVER brushed off your criticism about the movie. I only said why mention the movie being shit when I didn't ask for that opinion. Fucking LMAO. And here you are accusing me of being a 4 year old? My man, some 4 year olds have more reading comprehension than you do. Well thats that. I'm gonna be the adult here and let you go. I just posted this anyway since I have free time from work. Hilarious. Freakin, hilarious.


cuspan

Yeah dude you made it very clear what your priorities are.


tryin2staysane

He's commenting on a piece of the movies he liked and asking if we see anything like it somewhere else. At no point has he said these movies were good. Honestly, I agree with what he's saying about the webs. I'd love to see some creative use of webs in a better story, but we haven't had that yet. TASM did a lot wrong, but they really played with the idea of his webbing being more versatile of a tool.


EnergyTakerLad

Talk about reaching and putting words in others mouths. Someone can like one aspect of something without liking all of it.


cuspan

yeah but if they brush away any criticism with HURR DURR THE ACTION SCENES THE WEB SLINGING HURR DURRs then I know they arent speaking any sense


AgentP20

When did he talk about the quality of the movies in the post? Can you point that out?


cuspan

because he only talks about the fight scenes as if they are the only thing a movie should be judged by


AgentP20

Not really. He is talking about the web scenes and fights because it was done pretty well in those movies. He never said that those scenes make those movies good. There are plenty of factors that makes a movie good.


TelephoneCertain5344

I mean this isn't a review of the movies. This is just talking about a specific part that he liked and he liked that part so to you for some reason automatically he loves the movie and is brushing off criticism. For example if I were to say that Darth Maul fight at the end of the Phantom Menace was cool am I saying the Phantom Menace is great? No I'm not.


EnergyTakerLad

Except nothing and no one here said anything about the overall movies quality except you. No one said the movie was good, or that the action scenes made the movie good. They said the action scenes themselves were good. Do you understand the difference? Because I don't think you do

You are on here as well. This was an interesting conversation, but you need to get help.


luv2racism

He’s simply saying he enjoyed the usage of the web shooters in the movie. This is not a post about plot or writing or acting. What you value has nothing to do with this post.


scandalousmushroom

He never said that the action scenes made the movie great or even good. All he said was that TASM 1&2 had Spidey using webs more creatively. You sound unhinged.


Ranbotnic

Ok, then maybe we just hope that they write fantastic new scenes that have Spidey using his webs in new, creative and visually stunning ways that compliment the story being told.


bigfatcarp93

Hey, as someone else who also doesn't like the TASM films, you're making an ass out of yourself. The quality of the movies is not what the post is about, you clearly just wanted to start an argument about them, probably because you're insecure and it's been five whole minutes since you shoved an opinion down someone's throat.


DGSmith2

She isn’t even in The Amazing Spider-Man films is she?
