Homecoming MCU Spider-Man Spider-Sense

I'm still leaning towards a simple ring sound. Perhaps even giving the sound the Spider-Sense makes more of a backstory. Like maybe he heard a car screech or the school bell and the sound got stuck in his head. So the Spider-Sense manifested itself as a similar sound to those past experiences.
 
I'd like to see either the eyes flash white or for the camera to alter the colors.

Either could be accompanied with some weird sound effect.

No need to overthink this.
 
I never liked slo-mo.

That is a good indication of agility but the spidey sense is pre-cog.
 
Yeah, Spider-Sense works best simple and effective.
 
I find it funny that in the animated series and games, they find the need to have him say My Spider Sense! Its tingling!

Or how about a mix of effects? As the plot of the film progresses, his spider-sense could look different. Subtle alerts can be a ring, and as the danger gets greater, the viewer sees a different effect. IMO, that sounds like the better route to take, it keeps the gimmick fresh and unique
 
I want "my Spidey sense is tingling" in a live action movie, dammit.

Just once is all I'm asking.
 
I just caught an episode of Ultimate Spider-man the other day, and as much as people hate the show, I could see their spider sense effect working well in live action. It's basically a ripple effect around his head.

I like the show, I don't want Marvel or Sony going anywhere near it for material though. That said, the cartoon's version of the Spider-Sense would be very nice to see on the big screen so I guess I can make an exception for that.

Yep. The USM spider-sense is very well done.
 
Ya doesn't have to be that crazy a sound and some visual cue to us viewers are all we need.
 
I'd like to see something like the 90's effect. It would make sense if Spider-man actually experiences some kind of visual distortion when the spider-sense is triggered. Like, maybe when the tingling starts his other senses distort in weird ways, creating dream like, hallucinatory effects. Cerebral effects, like fading, echoing and visual static. Colours can change and the environment shifts and breaths like waves are going through it.
The 90's cartoon would fade the background into black with strange abstract patterns everywhere, it was almost like for a moment he was seeing a mysterious alternate reality. That's cool to me.

I don't really see the spider-sense as precognition, it can appear that way because it allows him to predict incoming attacks, but it's not like you can point a gun at his head and make him guess lottery numbers.
I see it more like a 360 degree radar that is generated by 'feeling' things in the environment that are outside the range of human perception. Maybe it feels vibrations, heat, electromagnetic waves etc and it creates a tingling sensation that allows spider-man to feel the presence of things over a distance. But for what ever reason, it only activates in the presence of a threat, or during deep concentration.

If Spider-Man were stood in front of a bomb and had to disconnect the correct wire, the spider-sense would buzz/tingle more strongly if he was attempting to cut the wrong wire.

It's precognition.

Maybe once daredevil airs and we see his Rader sense we could get a feel at visual cue we could see in mcu for spidey.

Also talking if past cartoons and the 70s show any one got vids or links to each shows sense. It's been ages since I seen some of them and would like to see it again.

I'm aware of a story where he does that, but I feel like that's a bit of a deviation from how the spider-sense is normally portrayed. I could argue that he accomplished that by 'sensing' the paths of the wires/circuitry, but really I just have a hard time understanding how and why he can see the future. It's not like spiders are psychic. If he's capable of something like that, then couldn't he predict all sorts of things, like flash cards, numbers or even horse races so long as the wrong answer resulted in death? I think that starts to make things confusing.

Sometimes he does use it to navigate without seeing, and when he uses it to dodge incoming attacks (like the goblin's glider coming from behind) it seems he's able to pinpoint the direction of the threat. It also goes off when he's being spied on. That seems more like radar than precognition. I also don't see how detecting tracers with the spider-sense has anything to do with precognition.
I can see him predicting an ambush, a collapsing building or even an earthquake, but I think you're going a bit far when he can correctly guess any multiple choice question where failure would result in death.

Even though I might compare the spider-sense to a radar, I think there's a big difference between it and daredevil's radar sense. Daredevil uses sonar to create a visual representation of his surroundings. There are blind people who can actually do this, and they're able to do impressive things like tell you what is behind a solid wall.
I only compare the spider-sense to a radar because it seems to detect and pinpoint the position of things over a distance, but wolverine can do essentially the same thing using his enhanced sense of smell. If the tingling is different based on the distance/direction of the threat, then over time Spider-man could learn to 'read' the tingling like a compass, and feel the presence of things.
 
i didnt mean for it as that is how the sense should work, i was talking more on the visual effects/cue of it visually.
 
I had an idea where Spider-Man's Spider Sense became so advanced he could see into the future.

I don't see why they should have a similar effect/cue. Daredevil is constantly using sonar because he's blind, the spider-sense is something that only happens on occasion and would be unnoticeable without some kind of cue. I think the sonar vision from the daredevil movie with Ben Affleck was done perfectly.
 
No no slang all I meant is maybe when we see how visually dd sense is dobe. We can get a better ideal on what type of effect look for a more visual only for x hero power. Since all the other guys have more showy type of powers. This is not how I want spidey sense to work. Just get a feel on visual cue for us viewers.

Yeah, but DD uses sound to see in all directions. This can be visually represented by showing us what Daredevil sees in his head (as was done in the Affleck movie). The visual cue for a Spider-sense is to show us that spider-man is 'feeling' something. He doesn't see images in his head in the way Daredevil does, so the visual cues should be completely different.

I had an idea where Spider-Man's Spider Sense became so advanced he could see into the future.

Since we're sharing our crazy ideas, how about this. Ever notice that Spider-man never had the spider-sense until after Uncle Ben died? What if the spider sense is actually Uncle Ben's ghost keeping him out of danger?
