which spidey power has been given the LEAST justice in the movies?
 
For me is his Spider Sense we only saw it work well in SM1 with his fight with Flash, and in SM2 with the Taxi been thrown through the window.
 
cmon guys cracking wise is not a power :oldrazz:
 
I torn between his spider sense and his wall crawling. the has only been ONE scene where I truly thought 'bloody heck he is sticking to the side of (insert surface) and that was in spiderman 2 when he is looking for doc ock (who had moved under the train) and spider crawls down the side of the train to follow. that was freaking awesome.

I would just like a scene where they show him in his bedroom (for example) and without wacky camera angles or CG just have him crawl up the wall. you know the trick where the room turns but the camera remains relative with with the room and all the objects in the room glued down so gravity doesn't affect it.
 
I say either his Spider-Sense or Webshooters.
 
I voted "wall crawling". I want to see him move like a spider, sneaking on people. I think we've only seen him done that a few times (Spider-Man and Spider-Man 3), but not good enough.
 
Well the whole sense thing has been given the least attention but I really do not see it as a problem.
 
Aside from his power of wisecracking, I'd say his range of web attacks. Everything else has been fine.
 
how do you mean? there have been web nets, impact webbing, he was webbed a car in place, that's just off the top of my head.

Not the webbing itself, but the lack of actual webshooters and giving us organic webbing has just been a pet peeve of mine of the movies.

That and the webshooters showed off his intellectual brilliance.

I can see why they got rid of the web shooters;

1. a spider gave him his powers, it would be odd it gave him every ability of the spider except the ability to spin webs probably what a spider is most famous for.

2. would the man on the street buy a teenager could invent a contraption that is the width of a pianwire but with the tensile strength of steel, can stick to any surface but dissolve after an hour? also, even if they bought that they would probably wonder why on this green earth he hasn't patented it and made himself rich rather than living in a run down flat and working as a pizza delivery boy.

I think his web should be organic, but that he had to make the webshooters to "concentrate" the webbing and make it easier to control. Something like that...

That was actually the original idea they were gong with, and even filmed some scenes involving this. Ultimately it was cut for whatever reason

in the comics Reed Richards once commented that Peter is as smart as he was at that age, and Reed is the smartest man on earth so no one should have any trouble buying that.

oh and for the questions, it has to be spider-sense. just watch spider-man 3, its embarressing how many times he gets knocked around when his spider-sense should have gone off. the best example is harry attacking Peter while he's riding his motor bike. why the heck didn't his spider-sense go off?
 
I'd say it's a combination between spider-sense and wall crawling. We haven't seen him utilize his wall-crawling abilities in an amazing fashion.

no we have not. there is a terrific scene in early amazing spider-man where fancy dan (one of the enforces) throws spidey against a wall, spidey feet stick to the wall and whilst keeping ahold of fancy dan's wrist he spins him around and drops him on the floor. brilliant move that would look amazing on the big screen.

in the movies (imho) peter comes across as bright and better than average intelligence but doesn't come across (at least to me) as a genuis in the same way batman doesn't come across as a detective although he has done 'some' detective work. neither character does enough to establish that part of their MO.

How would you feel about parker generating a mutant silk protein in his body (say in his sweat glands, or tear ducts) and then extracting this and combining it with rubbers/adhesives and other chemicals to produce his web fluid. He would then fill pressurized cartidges/canisters with the web fluid and fire it from wrist mounted gas guns. To me this seems like a good idea, but I don't know if other people will find some fault with. I don't see how this would be worse than organic web shooters. Can I ask for your opinions?

And about the topic, I would have liked to see more of spider-man moving in a quick inhuman fashion across walls. The spider-sense and strength were never portrayed consistently. He could stop the train but not KO ock?
 
Pete has enough strength to lift a warehouse before it can crush MJ, but when he punches overweight scientist Otto Octavius, IN THE FACE REPEATEDLY, nothing happens.

Sorry, everyone, but his power that has been given the LEAST justice is his super-strength.
 
Have to go with spider sense ... They were almost nonexistent in Spider-Man 3. If Spider-Man 3 had showcased the use of spider senses earlier on in the movie, then Spidey's fight with Venom would have been much better and much more suspenseful.

One of the best things about Venom is that the spider senses don't work on him. I couldn't believe that a detail like THAT was left out of the movie.

Damn, that would have been perfect imo. He wouldn't need to be out of cartridges, but by making the webshooters he'd still prove to us what kind of genious he actually is. I hope the reason for them to cut it off was good.

That would be cool too since that would show off his great knowledge of chemics. However, I think only having the webshooters to concentrate his web would be abit easier to explain on screen but still show his intelligence. I don't know, I'm not against your idea though.

Exactly what I meant in my first post too. I want him to seem inhuman at times.
