World If you had to choose...

Which of these would you rather Spidey keep?

  • The "stingers" protruding from his wrists

  • The organic webbing


Results are only viewable after voting.
Aw, dammit. I didn't see the word "keep" and voted for the stingers. I don't like those.
 
Will y'all start paying attention, please?!? You're ruining the poll.
 
None, they both suck.
 
No. This is about the lesser of two evils; you can't get rid of both here.
 
At least organics somewhat relate to Spider Man, the stingers are just out of left field, and only PAD seems to like them
 
My first reaction at the results... Who the hell voted for stingers?!?! But then I read on... Oopsie. :rolleyes:
 
I, like everyone else, failed to read the poll and voted for the stingers instead of against them. I'm not a "troll" but I've always wanted Spider-Man to have organic webbing.
 
The only thing this poll has proven is that many of us are illiterate. lol

why is he trying to turn pete into ZORRO?
 
I don't have to choose. I choose not reading Spider-Man comics because both powers are ridiculous. The organic webbing should be coming out of his a*s, etc etc,talked about to death already. And the Stingers aren't even on a Spider, maybe a future evolved spider from the year 4012, :rolleyes:

When you start letting the Movies dictate continuity in the original comics, you have f**ked the whole point of the comics.

The all new all daring Man-Spider-God-Lackey-Dumbass-conveniantly shoots organic webs out of his wrists-with future spider power that hasn't ever needed to exist in Spiders for millions of years- guy.

Sounds ridiculous, doesn't it?

Then comics have been ****ed since Superman: The Movie. Hell, even before then, a great deal of the Superman mythos came from radio dramas. And the character of Barbara Gordon (Batgirl) was created for the TV show before ever making her way into the comics. Letting the movies and other forms of media dictate continuity isn't necessarily a bad thing. Letting bad ideas dictate it is.
 
I guess it can be safe to say that, while I would rather have Spidey go back to mechanical web-shooters, THE STINGERS HAVE GOT TO GO. I don't care HOW Marvel gets rid of them as long as they DO get rid of them. They're too much of a rip-off of Wolverine's claws, they're too damn big, he has zero control over them, they're offensive (and potentialy lethal) weapons that Spidey doesn't need, and we didn't find out that they had a toxin until FNSM#6--AFTER the Other was over. And even more proof that the stingers are a misfire, event those who liked the Other want to see them gone. I imagine that a few years down the road, the stingers will be regarded with the same amount of ridicule and forgetability as the Spider-mobile--only not with the same degree of bemusement.

Let's say Marvel was to get rid of one of two Spider-Man powers; I'm referring to his new ones. Which one could you live with?

I really hate the stingers, it's as if they are trying to make spidey compete with wolverine. On the flip side, I love the organic webbing and always wanted his webbing to be a power of his way before it actually happened.

:unishr:
 
Heh, a lot of people here sure like to rush...
Sure like everyone in here I would choose the organics over the stingers but, as most of you here said as well, he has to get rid of both.
Seems these so called ‘writers’ scratched out the word that usually had to come after ‘power’.

True, but no new readers of the book would ever know anything about the mechanical web-shooters, as they are NEVER mentioned in the ongoing series'. The last mention of them that I recall was in the "I (Heart) Marvel: Web of Romance" one shot. Aside from that, they haven't been mentioned since MKSM #4, when Peter tried to use them, but they weren't there, as he fell off of a building.

Newer fans will know because they'll meet an older fan who will tell them the real deal. Or they'll read the Essential volumes, etc.

I miss the web shooters because of the web fluid. Sometimes he'd run out and be screwed. Made it dramatic at least.

They also don't mention the Web stingers and the impact webbing invented by Ben Reilly. But...that would mean mentioning the Clone Saga which is taboo for some reason.
 
organic webbing is one change the movie made that I actually favor now. At first when I heard about I thought the movie was about to go down the tubes, but the more I thought about it, the more I liked it.

The stingers are ******ed.

Anyone think that this whole "other" was a way to give him the organic shooters like the movie. Maybe they will get rid of the stingers and keep the webbing and people will simply be gratefull. According to this poll, it may work. pretty crafty of Marvel.
 
but Peter HAD organic webbing Before teh otehr... When Paul Jenkins made Pete give birth to himself... around the Dissassembled storyline a bit before House of Meh...
