Why are Spider-Man's webshooter so fucking huge?
They're like the size of his entire wrist. Are they teasing Iron Spider?

Reference to the Japanese Spider-Man.

Joke answer over compensation
Real answer: Those are improvised constraptions of a someone who is not rich and still goes to school.

But Tony gave him a new suit, you'd think he'd also help him out with the webshooters

I would also imagine it's a merchandising opportunity. Web-shooter toys are gonna come back. This way they can market something that's actually seen in the movie.
>>82436192
TASM did that too, remember that they even had lights when used? I guess they just can't find a way to properly hide them under the costume's wrists. Plus there's room for improvement, I guess, the whole suit is probably gonna get tweaked for the solo movie

>get "web shooter" toy as a kid complete with glove
>it just fires this foam triangle thing
That was an odd experience.

They don't do silly-string anymore?
They're going for realism. Compressed air, compressed webbing, all the insides - it all takes room.
Also, you can't sell merch of stuff that's not visible.
weren't they always fairly bulky?

Silly string is problematic, Anon.
>>82436192HEY HEY HEYWOW
>>82436192
it's almost as if he's just starting out and is going to need time to develop his tech
>>82436308
You could argue there was not enough time to redesign the shooter.
The costume wasn't basketball skin either.

Tony designed the MK1 in 5 minutes by waving his hands a little, asking for a red paint job and leaving Jarvis to do the rest.

In technology, miniaturization always comes later.

To sell toys.
>>82437797
that was the MK 2. the MK 1 was built in a box of caves

>get web-slinger toy as a kid
>it shoots miles of silly string
>remnants of dried silly string still on house's siding to this day
Being a kid in the mid-90s was GOAT

It's the only way he can hold all that thread

I'm going to have to agree.We're getting old.. ;_;.
>>82438873
>We're getting old.. ;_;.
No you're not. everything under 30 is young. After 40 you might start speaking like that.
>>82438908
>No you're not.
I know. It's just those days are gone and I have to deal with that shit.
>>82436192
It's the first web shooters ever made so the size will most likely change over the time and development. Almost every new technology starts out bigger and get smaller over the years.
when the spidey thread bump is just right
