I’m going to sound really stupid and should have instead searched it up, but I have a feeling that you’re a Wikipedia all on your own, but like… What do you mean by non-organic webs? I thought all the spider people were shooting from their bodies? And also, what are spinnerets?
(To clarify, not a comic fan or Marvel or whatever… I just love good movies with spectacular animation, characters, music, etc).
Keep up the great work, by the way. Love reading your analyses.
I’m guessing Spidernoir is one of your favorites?
OH OK LETS GO! So by non-organic webbing I mean manufactured. So a lot of spider people don’t actually have the ability to shoot webs! They use web shooters and web cartridges. Webshooters are typically some form of bracelet with a pressure plate near the palm creating the signature Spider-Man hand pose when shooting out the webs! Web cartridges contain web fluid that when oxidized turn into condensed spider webs/silk. For movie examples Andrew Garfield Spider-Man(I like this one’s montage) and Tom Holland Spider-Man both use webshooters while Tobey McGuire Spider-Man has organic webbing. In ITSV we also see Miles putting on the webshooters!
Organic webbing means it actually comes from inside the spider person’s body rather than them manufacturing it. It’s part of the mutation/super powers, like how wall crawling is! The organic webbing, typically, comes from spinnerets. Spinnerets is the term used to describe the group of organs on a spider(or other insects) that silk(or spider webs) is produced. They are typically seen on the ‘butt’ of spiders. In this context, most spider people that produce organic webbing have spinnerets in their wrist, but some can produce webs from their finger tips and/or feet(we mostly see this in spider women for some reason). Spider Noir is unique because not only does he have organic webbing but it is also black webbing!
But yes you’re right, spider noir is one of my favorites! (omg how’d you know? 🤭🙈)His story, and marvel noir in general, has a lot of material and potential that they don’t use and I love filling in those gaps! Thank you for the ask!
