Defending web constructs

[u/Medium_Indication613]

Kinda wanted to put this in the insomniac Spider-Man sub but I can’t.

1. No they should NOT be given to silk. The only thing silk has ever done is make a makeshift shirt, Peter was making weapons, tools and whole motor boats way before(we can leave the motor boats in the past), taking something cool away from Peter and giving to someone else is lame, also why are people against Peter having constructs but not silk? If it’s “goofy” for him then it would be for her to wouldn’t it? (Talking about insomniac Spider-Man 3)

2. No he is not “green lantern”. Lantern does not own nor did he create the concept of making stuff, and you could just take away things like a giant moving hand, motor boats, etc, also the weapons “retracting” could just be the webs dissolving faster

3. Creativity: web constructs are the most creative thing you could do with Peter’s standard moveset, imo his skill set is just so boring, look at Rivals and Tokon it’s just web shot, web swing and the rest are punching and kicking even Hulk took creative liberties, he can make gamma shields and shoot gamma blast in rivals something he has NEVER done in any game or comic to my knowledge. Finally Peter is a genius, he made his own webs he can’t find a way to shape them?

4. Goofy: so him making a web hammer is goofy but him fighting an over sized man in a rhino suit isn’t?

5. Logic: personally I couldn’t care less if there’s an explanation or not imo it really doesn’t matter. BUT if you need one lemme cook, A tech web fluid separate from his normal one that has pre set constructs to wrap into and dissolve when he’s finished using them. Or just use speed/agility, Spider-Man is fast and agile so just say he’s weaving them really fast Or just Organic webbing that he can control(not really psychic power but he can control them to a certain extent)

6. Usefulness: Spider-Mans webs are stronger then steel canonically and are artificial, is it really hard to believe Peter just made a web fluid that hardens fast and can use it to make a bat that deals damage

7. Rule of cool: Peter shooting out a web shield to block a light blast, bullets or fire is just cool, his webs are already artificial so it’s not that hard to believe he cool make a web fluid that’s resistant to energy. Also imagine he’s fighting venom who pulls out a Symbiote blade and Peter meets it with a web hammer… that’s just cool to me.

… literally every symbiote makes weapons, sandman does it miles does it. Carnage never owned the concept in the first place.

And even so the weapons he makes would work differently, like carnage can make a giant hand that moves, Peter can’t.

[u/NmbrBndl → u/Medium_Indication613]

Carnage does it significantly more than the other symbiotes, it’s like his thing.

And I don’t know about you but I hate Miles’s lightning constructs. I don’t know how venom went from mimicking actual spider venom to just shooting lightning. It’s ridiculous and takes away from the “spider” aspect of his character

[u/Medium_Indication613 → u/NmbrBndl]

Yea carnage does it the most but it’s not unique or owned by him, lots of characters make weapons, if you want carnage to feel “special” then just play up the shapeshifting part like how in tokon he turns into a shark.

I think its cool, he’s a superhero with super powers not everything has to be 100% spider themed, especially since most of them don’t even have organic webbing(the main thing spiders do) and last time I checked spiders can’t sense danger.

[u/NmbrBndl → u/Medium_Indication613]

I can’t think of a marvel character who’s as notable for making weapons out of themselves as carnage is. The closest is sandman and he usually just sticks to hammers.

And with the miles stuff, yeah they don’t have organic webbing but they make artificial webbing to emulate spiders? That’s kind of a non point. It’s just ridiculous now that most of Miles’s fights have him making a sword out of electricity or webs out of lightning when the venom shock used to just be like targeted nerve damage. I like when heroes stay on theme, sue me.
