Organic webs are an affectation by Sam Raimi.
Organic webs were in the comics first, but it was Peter's clone, Kaine (Scarlet Spider), that had them.
i see
following comics seems like a massive headache
Some are easier than others, but Spiderman is awful to follow. The Clone Saga was easily the lowest point of the comic's history, but (surprising to those new to comics) Spiderman has a LOT of overly convoluted and mediocre stories. The Night Gwen Stacy Died, The Amazing Spiderman run by Straczynski, Superior Spiderman, and Renew Your Vows are basically the best of his history (with a few other good ones mixed in). The only reason he hasn't ended up like the Fantastic Four is because of the legacy cemented by Secret Wars, the 90's cartoon, and the Raimi movies.
please just tell me Spider-Man Reign isn't canon
It isn't 616/2.0 Spider-man, so no.
what's that mean

I'd have relatively big parties until I was about 12 or 13, and that slowly dissolved into having nice quiet dinners with my family, which I've grown to prefer.

What was canon first, web shooters or organic webs?
Like.....it never made sense why webs came out of his wrists. But GO GO WEB felt a lot more natural and more spider like then the shooters.
Web shooters are canon. Organic webs are an affectation by Sam Raimi.
Makes perfect sense to me—a radioactive spider bit him and gave him spider-based powers. Why shouldn't he have organic webs?
I agree, just seems weird that all he really got in this movie was strength.
And climbing too, to be fair.

re: web shooters
if i have to hear "but that's how they were in the comics!!!!!!!!" one more time, i'm gonna scream
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THE FUCKING COMICS THEY SUCKED SAM RAIMI DID EVERYTHING BETTER
the thing about web shooters is that there always has to be a stupid, shitty, cliche scene where spider-man, like, FALLS or something, and he always manages to lose the web shooters
and then he's like "ohhhhhh nooooooo, my web shootersszzzzzz"
and then his stupid ass has to go and get them before he gets his ass kicked
it's just a cheap way to add more tension and ugh
it just makes him so much lamer of a superhero in my eyes

My biggest problems were the YA vibe, color grading, and the same over-coreographed fighting sequences that every Disney Marvel movie has.
I'd put the movie par with Spiderman 3, if not a touch ahead.
hmm, i'm gonna assume you didn't hate spiderman 3 then (good) i'd say i agree 80% with this video except i actually liked the scenes with tony stark, and i surprisingly enjoyed the mentor thing he had going—i didn't expect to like that aspect at all but i thought it was executed tastefully i have mixed feelings about spidey's talking suit, it's cool and all, but it felt like a replacement for my all-time favorite of spider-man's superpowers— his fucking spider sensei also didn't like peter's nerd friend, or virtually any of the high school drama scenes whatsoever, because wow i just don't caaaaaaaaare, especially when it's not even trying to be an accurate portrayal of how high school actually is and HAHAHAHAHAHAHA remember when those girls are playing fuck/kill/marry, but one of the girls just says the letter "F" instead of "fuck" like an actual girl in high school would say? yeah that was hilariously stupid that being said, i think zendaya's character was actually my favorite overall—bit of a dark horse—she reminded me a lot of ally sheedy's character in the breakfast club (almost to a point where i think she was trying to emulate that performance, but it was fine), and i was actually surprised at who she ended up being also, i hate web shooters and they suck and they're stupid—organic webs forever but i mean yeah, overall it was fine, and it wasn't a clusterfuckity mess like TASM2 or anything

that's true, and they have to be aware that no one really plays SF for the story anyway
alas, shitcom works in mysterious ways
we won't know until 2020 at the earliest
2.5 years to go. A bit odd that there won't be an Ultra Super Street Fighter V UHD Remix II: Second Bout given the franchise history.
i wouldn't be surprised if they went back on their word on that, tbh sales have been pretty dismal, and a re-release would certainly help ameliorate that

finally gonna see this shit
expecting PURE GARBAGE
If you are a Puritan I expect you to start hating it. But for me, it is a great movie that finally has its own soul like the Dark Knight.
It takes liberty in story and casting which I feel does the movie and the character great justice. After seeing enough comic based or book based movies failing due to hem trying to copy the books or try something else, I prefer this direction of keeping the spirit of the story alive but going in different creative direction.
i respect your point of view, but i'm kind of glad that i didn't read this post before seeing the movie

So how long until we get a street fighter that takes place after 3rd Strike? I want to see Q again.
Hard to say, because they kind of wrote themselves into a corner. Lots of fan-favorite characters like Bison are dead for good after III. Then again, just because a character is playable doesn't mean they have to be in the story, I suppose. Still, people find it hard to accept brand new characters. People hated SF3 at first, because nobody was recognizable, and now people are shitting on SFV's new characters, too, despite the fact that everyone and their mother is gonna look back on characters like Abigail and say "Why can't Street Fighter 8 be more like SFV?"

it was okay like, it was good wasn't bad at all but wow i have so many complaints but i'll just say it was a 7/10 better than any andrew garfield spider-man movie, but the sam raimi films still win by a mile

I'm climbing the difficulty latter on survival now.
*ladder
gl with that, i still haven't beaten extreme to this day
Yeah, just lost on 25 with Ibuki
i made it up to 97 before once until they fucked me with a low health upgrade
yeah I love that
>no health
>"here's a low health supplement"
>near max health
>"here's a full health supplement"
protip: for the first ten rounds, always go for the double down ones and use EX to kill
this will rack you up points so you're never in a position where you can't afford full health supplements when you need them
that probably won't be necessary for lower difficulties though
Oh no I already figured that out, it's just annoying that high or full only appear when you really don't need them, and never when you do.
Yeah, I feel you. Though, if I were you, I'd probably do trials first (assuming you haven't already). SFV isn't a hard game to figure out on your own, but it still helps to know which of your character's moves link into each other and stuff.

United States of America President of the Republic Donald Trump
Name one good thing he's done so far.
Created 1 million jobs in his first 6 months.
Even if that were true, that wouldn't be a good thing.

I'm not going to say that the writing was perfect all the way through, but that was a noticeably jarring scene. I see what they wanted to do, but it was super forced.
I actually didn't have any issues with the writing, because they were clearly going for a cheesy kung-fu action flick type aesthetic, and I thought they did that pretty well. Part of the appeal is being able to make fun of how silly it is. I just wish fights were more than one round. What are you gonna do next?

Be your president
But he's not, though.
why is a white American citizen the most mad person here lmao you have the least to worry about
I'm well-aware of this. The thing is, only retards are concerned with their own welfare and nobody else's. And Trump is still not my president.

make sure you watch fullmetal alc brotherhood, and not 2003
Will do, though it's sort of confusing why.
The manga was like only half way written when the 2003 adaption went on, so they had to wing it from there. I'm probably in the minority for those that liked the 2003 more because the tone seemed darker overall, even though it got pretty wonky towards the end.
So for Brotherhood, they just completely started over from scratch.
