To preface this: I have only watched the Tobey Spiderman back when it came out in like 2006 or something.
A friend wanted me to watch the first Spiderman movie with Gwen with them and we finished it just now and I only JUST found out that every Spiderman except Tobey can't produce webs out of their body
WHAT THE FRICK? Why is this the normal? I know I'm technically a secondary or something since I don't know all the Spiderman lore but what the frick? Why give him all the powers from the radioactive spider and then not give him web production but then give it to him anyway after? Is there any true elaboration on this by the original (ORIGINAL) writers?
The first Spiderman movie with Gwen is actually Tobey 3.
His kryptonite is basically running out of web supply
Tobey's Spider-Man 2 had to make it work like power loss akin to erectile dysfunction
I guess it's because spiders don't produce webs out of their "hands". Spiderman gets the proportional strength of a spider, the wall climbing, and the "spider sense" which is just made up but inspired by spiders being really good at perceiving the slightest presence on their webs. Those are the spidery traits he inherited, and if he were to naturally produce his own web it'd have to be out of his ass or belly button or something like that which would look moronic. So they played into Peter being really intelligent and had him create a web formula he could customise to be most useful to him (including shooting out of his hands/wrists) to compliment his acquired spider powers.
>and if he were to naturally produce his own web it'd have to be out of his ass or belly button or something like that
homie, Fricking cetaceans moved their nose upward and into a single hole. You can move it.
>spiders don't produce webs out of their "hands".
neither they do from their ass.
Web is produced in Spinnerets. You can place them anywhere in Spiderman. They didn't because
>it'd have to be out of his ass
No, it wouldn't HAVE to. In a world of dumb comic book logic and nonsensical powers you are not forced to do one thing, just like how you aren't forced into giving Peter 8 limbs. Not like "spidey sense" is a real thing, you cam squish a spider very easily, he's not gonna get out of the way, and a human sized spider could not hold up an entire building.
Very weird that this is where you draw the line, "if he could produce webs then it must come out of his ass".
Because Spiderman's power set is actually reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally average. He has average super strength, he has average super speed, agility. The only thing good perk he gets from his power set is the auto dodge
Anyway, Spiderman's real strength is his intellect. He can come up with any tool, any counter in any situation.
Peter's stock powers are stupid amounts of strength, spatial awareness, low-level precognition, and stickiness. None of these are particularly Spider-like. He could've easily called himself fricking Gecko-Man. The thing that ties it all together is his web fluid, the original source of which changes between continuities (he invented himself, nicked it from some company like OsCorp, his dad invented it and he found the schematics).

yes

Comics Code in the 60s didn't allow for body fluids to be shown.
The webbing comes from Miguel, ironcally.
If it helps, Spider-Noir produces his own webbing; but that's because he came into direct contact with the primordial spider-god that gives all Spider-Men their powers.
To answer the question, it's partially because of the comic code forbidding it, but more because it adds tension to the story. You can say that it's to 'show that Spider-man is smart' or that 'logically, it would come out of his butt' but any answer except this is wrong, simply, the story is improved when Spider-Man can look at the audience and say 'I only have one canister left, better make it count.'
Is that Peni
yes
Who is the other girl? On the left?
Peni
Also Peni.
>primordial spider-god that gives all Spider-Men their powers
The fricking what
Comic's Spiderverse is stupid.
You're better off not knowing about shit like 'the multi-dimensional vampires who only eat spider-men.'
But if you really want to suffer, look up 'Spider Totems.'
spiderman is better with organic webs. don't care about your gay 'b-but web shooters make spiderman look smart!' argument. it's gay. it worked in the raimi films. give him organic webs. simple as.
>produce webs out of their body
That shit's gross as frick as opposed to simply "scientist guy makes adhesive rope"
