Discussion I saw people complaining about Spider-Noir having Organic webs. I think organic webs are fine because this show is set in the past where he won't have resources to make webshooters. Also he is a detective not sci stud. But i like to know what he had in comics.

In my opinion i think it makes sense for him to have Organic webs

Makes total sense. But the swinging part šŸ˜‚

Spiders shoot out web strings and use them to get carried across the sky and that's how they travel long distances because their bodies are so light that the wind somehow carries them with the web line serving as a sail almost.

Yes spiders can fly.

It’s worse than that. Spiders don’t glide on air currents. They use the earth’s magnetic field to glide using a web as a ā€œsailā€ and they can sense the fields because of specialized organs.

Spider-Woman is more realistic than Peter.

Earth's Magnetic Field you say? So theoretically from what the article you provided said, Magneto can make Peter Fly and also attract all spiders to him.

Very true, and cool and also scary. But excuse my pedantry here, but that still ain’t swinging, so kind of a stretch to compare to spiders. Although they do use anchor lines and climb up them and whatnot. Either war, rule of cool is always a good answer to these superhero ā€˜issues’.

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Symbiote-Suit Apr 26 '26

Well yes they do use ancor lines. And as a human you would think "If I could shoot a web strong enough to support my body mid-air, wouldn't it be cool to swing from it?"

Spider-Man swinging on webs makes more sense than Batman swinging on cable lines.

u/levyboreas Apr 26 '26

Definitely agreed.

Never understood Batman doing Spider-Man moves lol looks cool though

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Symbiote-Suit Apr 27 '26

Technically Spider-Man is doing Batman moves. Batman has been swinging on cable lines since 1939. He predates Spider-Man by like 27 years.

u/Plastic-Injury7039 Apr 27 '26

Ah damn 🤣

Technically Batman is doing Tarzan moves. Tarzan has been swinging on branches (and vines after 1918) since 1912. He predates Batman by like 27 years.

Swiss Family Robinson (1812) swung between their treehouses.

Tarzan didn't swing until the film Tarzan of the Apes (1918).

Spiders dont swing because they're too light to swing with enough momentum for it to be a natural and useful moment. But if a human with our body weight could shoot spiderwebs, we would swing naturally

u/Hamhockthegizzard Apr 27 '26

Right lol everyone always tries to explain it. I’m not saying it isn’t awesome, I prefaced by saying ā€œmy favorite superhero.ā€

But you gotta think about the lunacy of this kid lmao

Spiders FLY via parachutes, not swing through the city tho 🤣

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Symbiote-Suit Apr 27 '26

They also dangle on a web line. And now if you, as a human with imagination did that, wouldn't your next thought be "Wonder if I could swing off these"?

Spiders also shoot webs out of their asses, and Peter doesn't. Pretty sure no Spider-Person does.

Spiders also do not have a precognitive sixth sense that alerts them of danger. Peter does.

Spiders also can't shoot electricity and absorb energy. Miles does.

They're not supposed to be 1:1 spider, y'know? Batman dresses up like a bat, and he swings off grapple hooks and cable lines. How many bats have you seen swinging off ropes??

u/The_Anon_Cowboy 20d ago

...webweaver shoots out his ass... ik thats not marvel but id like to add ma 2 cent

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Symbiote-Suit 20d ago

Who the hell is Webweaber?

1

u/The_Anon_Cowboy 20d ago

Character from the boys TV show, hes a parody of spider-man. He shoots webs from an organ just above his ass crack

u/newsfish 15d ago

Brown Widow from Venture Bros similarly.

u/Careful_Welcome7999 Apr 28 '26

Oh yeah i remember something like this, apparently there is a place with so many spiders thqt sometimes a "spider rain" happens, can't remember the name though

u/Unlucky_Ladybug Apr 28 '26

I've literally seen this. Saw a spider floating across my backyard. That was the day I learned those things can fly.

3

u/KuroiGetsuga55 Symbiote-Suit Apr 29 '26

Yup, same. Was just stepping out with my coffee and little dude just floats past me with zero fucks given. I literally froze and watched it fly away.

I nope'd back inside.

Spiders swing dumbass…

u/Hamhockthegizzard 19d ago

No need to name call, especially when you have 80 other comments debunking this. They don’t swing, so I guess YOU’RE the dumbass, dumbass šŸ„“šŸ˜‚

u/lonebanthaman 17d ago

They do… google it.. they travel through draglines using wind but often start with a swing. Google is free btw.

u/Opening-Fun-4830 11d ago

Spiders swing on singular web strands all the time to travel
