Giving him organic eliminates the screen time needed to explain how he invented the web shooters. Giving more time for other things like the creation of the costume, or the bite of the spider. However, taking away the webshooters takes away the parts where Spider-Man uses up his web fluid, goes to shoot and says "Oh no! I used up all my we fluid." In a scene where the bad guy is getting away or he is falling. The studio also looses the marketability of toy webshooters and replicas.
but I am fine with either.

Not entirely, even though the last 3 movies had Spider-Man using organic webshooters, they still made webshooter toys.
 
Keep the organics. Just to piss the fanboys off.
 
the one thing about webshooters is in one succinct move you show the genius of peter parker. sure it was 'hinted' at in the movies but this would without a shadow of a doubt show he is one of the smartest teens of his generation.
 
There doesn't need to be lots of screentime of him showing how he build the webshooters. Afterall, the first movie didn't show how he sew his costume togther. He drew a picture and tadaa, later he was in costume. In the same way you can show him draw schematics and later he uses webshooters without much explanation.

As for the web fluid, Crook's idea of Peter completing someone else's formular doesn't sound too bad. It could be one of many experiments that are being worked on in Dr. Conner's Lab. You could throw a simple line in there when Conners shows the work to some other students, "And here we have a molecular adhesive that we're working on, that even some of your more promising young minds have a problem with. *smiles at Peter* "But we're getting there." Peter: "Uhm... heh... yeah..."

I just never understood peters motivation for making the shooters? So you're a kid who all of a sudden is blessed with super strenght, agility, spider sense but the first thing you think to do after you get them is to spend countless hours inventing some sort of webbing solution?

I'm pretty sure he'd just enjoy the powers and not go throught the hassle of inventing some new type of tech.
 
I really, REALLY don't give one bit of ****.

But they might as well use web-shooters, cause organics would just seem like a rehash (****, The whole movie will probably just be a rehash).
 
Organic has become the staple in the books and what not, so leave them in.

That is another thing to consider. What would even motivate him to create something so unbelievably technically advanced. And why, if he were to do something as incredible as that, would he just sit on it and use it for crime fighting? Such a technological innovation would be worth millions. You would have to be an idiot to use it for only for swinging around the city.

As far as the side effects of the organics... that would be something that could be explored and an opportunity for Peter to develop a relationship with Dr. Connors as he works to reverse the negative effects of the mutation.
 
If Peter gets spider parts from the bite then why stop at webbing organs?

Why not give him eight limbs and eyes?

Some of the abilities not transferring because they require too much spider-physiology does make sense. After all, Peter Parker is still mostly human,. He looks nothing like a spider. Inside or outside.

That's the way it should be.

We don't want Spider-girl laying eggs down the road, do we?

Very good point. The fact that he can now shoot webs organically would mean that he would need additional organs added to his human organs. Spider-Man is still a man. Nothing, except a deeply studied blood sample would give anyone any clue that he has Spider-like abilities. How a bite from a spider could suddenly make a person grow an un-human organs is very illogical. Like you said, the transferring of attributes that are simply enhancements of what humans can already do, is one thing, but having spider spinnets now in your human body is pushing it......that is unless they are going with the 'Neogenic Nightmare' type saga, where the spider bite was only the beginning of Spider-Man eventually mutating into a real-life human spider hybrid.......

I would imagine the recently attained spider-abilities influence his interest in the species. Spider-silk is one of the most well known attributes, so there's a start. My earlier idea of Peter finding research papers from the place he got bit from served as a basis for explaining his powers, but also gives meaning to Peter's intrigue with the whole human-spider concept. You're right, there does seem to be a gap of logic and exposition when it comes to the origin. But I guess this is one of the many areas a reboot can explore a bit better.

It might also be more realistic for Peter to develop his new abilities over a long period of time instead of an overnight conversion like in the first movie. Perhaps heightened senses come first and then super strength followed by wall climbing and then finally organic web shooters. This might be interesting to explore juxtaposed with other students who are going through puberty. Maybe some kind of comical scene with Peter in health class. I don't know. There is a way to make organic work. It would not be unlike gene therapy. It would take time.
 
Maybe he makes the web shooters first and then slowly he gains organics, like you said. Yeah, it would be a coincidence, but whatever.

Well, in the first comics the web formular came to him instinctively after getting bitten by the Spider. Silly yes, but hey, it was a comic. He build the shooters and made the web to emulate the one power the Spider didn't give him.

And why, if he were to do something as incredible as that, would he just sit on it and use it for crime fighting? Such a technological innovation would be worth millions. You would have to be an idiot to use it for only for swinging around the city.

Well, webshooters alone wouldn't be useful for anything. He tried to make money off of his web formular, but it was also useless, since it would dissolve after an hour. He was supposed to come back once he perfected it, which he still hasn't done.

Are you kidding? The uses for a high pressure spider-web gun would massive. Non-violent weapon for crown control and law enforcement. All kinds of militaristic uses. The formula alone would extremely valuable for the creation of new construction materials. Can you imagine building a suspension bridge out of spider-web silk? It would be nearly indestructible.

But, a 15 year old kid from created it just to fight crime with his new super powers? Paleeease.....
 
Like I said, the webbing always dissolved after an hour. Have fun building a suspension bridge that dissolves an hour later.
 
ah the fabled organic vs Web shooters discussion has returned lol
 
It would honestly be annoying if Spider-Man constantly has to change his webbing in the middle of a fight, or while swinging from building to building.
 
It would also be annoying watching Peter clumsily trying to take his outfit off in-between piss breaks. God, that'd be a bore.

And who says he'd have to do that?

"Ok, listen up. Since we're giving him mechanical webshooters this time, make sure to write a cartridge changing scene into the script, every 5 pages."

He wouldn't have to change cartridges every 10 minutes or run out of webbing at crucial moments, we can easily assume that he changes them off screen or show him filling them up before he leaves home. Showing him run out of webs would only be used rarely for dramatic moments and to have him resort to other options.

Than what would be the point of introducing mechanical webbing in the first place if it won't even be shown that he changes it? :huh:

Because I said never show him change his cartridges ever. Right.

Anway, he can apply different properties to his webbing, like he's done in the comics before. Which helps him against certain villains. Like, don't know, make the webbing less conductive against a villain like Electro, but in turn it might maybe not be as strong as the original webbing.

You'll probably get just that since the studio is going for a more realistic approach. I honestly don't mind either one, as long as the story and characters are done right.
