As I was reading the various threads discussing the reboot, I felt a strange sense of deja vu. Yet, I felt there was something missing that I couldn't quite put my finger on.
Then I realized what it was, there was no one putting those pesky man-spider fans in their place!
And so (after a bit of archival research), I present the beloved Mr Parker in all his glory:
TRUE SPIDEY FAN
----
Now that that's taken care of...
While I certainly don't share all of Mr P's sentiments (i.e. anyone liking the Sony Spider-Man films aren't true spidey fans, but man-spider fans), I do agree that mechanized web-shooters are something integral to the Spider-Man mythos. Like Mr P said, they are emblematic in showing how Peter Parker was special, how his intelligence and problem-sovling abilities allowed him to really make use of the power he was given (unlike someone like Flash Thompson).
Additionally, the constant need to buy supplies to create web fluid presented him with another challenge in his life, and the fact that his webbing could run out prevented him from using it as a cruch, forcing him to once again rely on his own intelligence and skills to get himself out of a jam. For me, that was always one of the more appealing things about Spider-Man (also why I prefer Batman over Superman, but that's for another forum).
So, I say, organics DO suck. The film-makers should do it right this time and use mechanical web-shooters.

Mr Parker said:Spider-Man without the mechs is like Batman without the batmobile,or Captain America without his shield or James Bond drinking a beer instead of the classic martini shaken but not stirred that he always asked for.
Mr Parker said:anybody who likes organic webbing is not a true spidey fan because the fact that people could possibly not care about sony raping to death his character like they did in the movie by giving him organic webbing makes me sick.They have raped to death his character with organics because he is a damn monster now and no longer human anymore. the REAL reason they used organics in the movie was the director was too damn lazy to try and incorporate them in the movie because he did not want to take the extra 5 minutes of screentime it would take to put them in the movie and explain them so he took the easy and lazy way out with organics. the shooters are very much an important part of his character because like you said,he could always show his superiour intelligence over the average man with them.any idiot like flash thompson could have become spiderman with organic webbing but not just anybody could have had the smarts like peter did to invent th webbing.he was a special and unique person,it was a gift he had that very few people have.and you hit the nail on the head,it makes no sense for the webbing to shoot out of his hands.realistically they would shoot out of his butt.Great thread. if not for those stupid movies of sonys and that idiot director sam raimi ,they would never have been introduced in the comics.
Mr Parker said:because of organics we now got the character of MAN-SPIDER instead of spider-man
