New Spider-Man web-shooters

Glad to see the web shooters back as well. The cartoon series always had his web fluid running out at the worst times, freaked me out as a kid. The 94 series actually explained the whole web thing pretty well. Here's the youtube vid that explains it.

Spider-Man - The Animated Series - Season 3 - Episode 2 - Make A Wish Part 2 - YouTube

I copied the vid at the exact time he explains so no need to go searching for it. :thumbsup

Oh my goodness, I miss that series, as well as my childhood. Oh nostalgia:)
 
Traditionally Spider-Man's shooting mechanism in in the center of the palm, when you clinch your fist you'd actually "cup" it within your fingers. Unless you continued to squeeze theoretically it wouldn't shoot. When he wallcrawls, he does it on his fingertips so again it wouldn't misfire.

Also, I believe on the Marvel Universe trading cards (remember those cards?!?!) the card stated that they required super strength to push and get webs out. It prevented accidental web shooting, and only spiderman would only have the strength to use them (not some guy from the street).

These look swweeeeeeeeeeaaaaaattttttt :)

Hmmm...not sure about the tech versus steampunk look. Kinda fragile looking. Its also got that "glued on brass watch gears" look. :rolleyes I hope it makes more sense in the film. I have hopes.
 
I don't like the sound effect for turning them on, very similar, if not the same, as Sam Fisher's NVG from Splinter Cell, kind of unoriginal, I hope that's not the final cut.
 
Peter Parker has a big advantage over the companies. His own blood, to analyze as a starting point.

The organic shooters bugged me, because a real spiders' webs come out of its butt area, not the wrists.
The Venture Brothers have a 'spider man' that does this.

They don't seem to be on , what I'm guessing is, the prototype version. Which seem to be built into regular watch cases with wide straps, something similar to this:

If they are on the prototype version then they're silver, not brass.

EDIT: The more I think about it, a good bit of it was made from a watch. It would make sense that some of the internals were made from a watch as well.

Myself being a watchmaker, I can identify all the (what looks like) pocket watch gears used as greebies on the web shooters
 
Those clock gears are almost insulting conceptionally as greeblies. Every other component looks digital; state of the art technology. The clock gears don't seem to...mesh.
 
Found a few more photos of the new webshooters.

The base of this shooter looks to be a (hopefully) knockoff Rolex Submariner. Once you pull off the bracelet, the bezel and gut it, that's exactly what you're left with.

you can usually find knockoffs, online, for anywhere from $80 - $120 (for the really cheap ones).

It isn't a Rolex Knockoff....trust me. Wrong shape from the lugs to the body. The crown guards are wrong too for a Rolex. My guess its a military style watch in a titanium case.

Agreed. Make no sense at all.
