A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. A showerthought should offer a unique perspective on an ordinary part of life.

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    1. NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    2. Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    3. Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct-----

It must be annoying for New York City workers to constantly have to clean spider webs off buildings in the Marvel universe. (midwest.social)

Parker could simply quit his job as a freelance photographer and sell the formula to his own web shit, because he made them himself and aren't part of his super powers.

As a superior raimi fan, I have no idea what you're talking about.

I firmly believe that the only reason Raimi made it that way in his movies is to have that scene of Peter learning how to use them.

I like mechanical web shooters better but that scene was pretty funny

This is literally the very first thing he tries to do in the comics before he becomes Spider-Man and it doesn't work because the people he reached out for thought it was too short-lived.

But also, needing to juggle real life responsibilities like having a job is one of the main appeals of Spider-Man as compared to, say, the Avengers.
