Where did he get his costume? I've heard it talked about yet never heard it completely answered. Some people say he "spun" it...but how the hell did he get the different colors, everything to be so perfect, plastic-y "web" outlines, eye lenses, etc. etc.? One second he draws a picture, the next he flying around NY in the new get-up.

Also, how does he fly around NY like that? It shows him swinging on one line of web straight down the middle of the street in several occasions, yet at the angle he would have had to have the web attached to something would have been STRAIGHT UP to get at that angle! And does his web retract? If not, with all the web he's been shooting, why don't people have a bunch of it, or people analyzing it? And if it retracts, how does he keep shooting it out so quickly one after another? Where the #@)*&$ does he have all this web material?!

And last but not least...if he really DID turn into a spider, he's be swinging around NY not by his wrists/hands, but shooting it out his ass. 😉 EDIT: That would be funny. Peter Parker in the cafeteria room at school...leans over to fart discretely...pfffttsssssst. Peter gets up and his ass is stuck to the bench! MWAUHAHAHAHAHAHA! or...not...

He spun it, and the movie just made his costume all 3d like and stuff. Otherwise I just think its dark plastic on the eyes. I'm not answering any of your questions through the movies, but the comics. His web does NOT retract, it merely drops from his hands and he shoots another from a device hidden on his wrist. People don't have so many samples of it because the webbing that he shoots decomposes after a few hours and so nobody has samples of it. Well, the guy is like a super chemical guy and when the spider bit him, along with the "spider sense" and the "spider strength," he also gained the knowledge somehow of the proper chemicals to combine into small cartridges that will then shoot webbing from the device on his wrist.

I thought it would have been so much better if they had Peter accept a job at Osborne's lab, and he used the equipment there to make his costume out of some super strong material. Otherwise, how does he keep the hands in it after delivering all those super punches? I can't get a sweatshirt to hold up in the dryer after a few washings 🙁

How could he forget the "puny little guy" that OWNED Bone Saw, the same guy that he tried to cheat out of $2,900, the same guy that let $3,000 walk out the building by way of a robber, the same guy that got in his face and talked junk to him when he asked why he didn't stop the robber.

I don't think he'd forget him 😀 Then the next day he starts making the papers...

But I'm mainly talking about facial recognition here...not so much his real name.[/quote]

Peter dawns the costume about 6 months after the wrestling match. Thats why people don't put two and two together.

okay, first off you guys need to chill out, especially that "anandtech moderator" fellow......okay, now, peter is a buff-human thing, part spider cause he was bitten in a lab-experiment thing....the web was supposed to be out of something he atatched to his wrist but didn't....as for the costume....that's a pretty darn good sew job.....oh well, i don't know much about spider man, i'm just in here bloating......h=

<=== Kelvrick is wrong monkey dance

😉

WTF? No, I didn't say he spun it. He sewed it. You putting words in my mouth? I hope you inhale that whistle!! 😛

EDIT: I see how my words could have been misunderstood. I meant he spun as in sewing machine, not spun as in webbing from his ass. 🙂

I was just watching the DVD and at the wrestling match, Peter competes as Spider-Man (albeit in that crappy ninja-looking costume). Everyone see his strength and flexibility and web-shooting skills.

Then after the match, he walks to collect his money WITHOUT his mask on. The crooked manager sees him w/o the mask as does the security guard. The mugger did too, but he's dead.

Is this an error in the movie or I am just looking too deeply?

It's an error of sorts. In the comic, it's quite a few months after the wresling incident that he dons the new suit. The movie just butchers the time flow, but I looked at it like someone telling you the events instead of witnessing them for yourself. In the comic, the manager wasn't a crook, in fact he gladly pays Peter and asks him to come back. However he doesn't pay in cash, he makes out a check. Peter still has the mask on, so the manager asks who should he make it out to, and Peter says to make it out to Spiderman. When he takes it to the bank to cash it, he's without his mask, and the teller asks for ID to prove he's Spiderman. He can't, so he just leaves, disgusted because he can't get paid without telling who is really is.
