Instead he chose to stick closer to the comic-book\u00a0portrayal\u00a0in which  the webs are shot out of devices built by Peter Parker. Webb wanted to create a more traditional take on the film and reportedly  sought the guidance from Stan Lee.<\/p>\n<p>Here is what Webb had to say about his meeting with Lee:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201dI had a meeting with Stan Lee and we talked about the web-shooters.  I was curious about the incarnation of them [because] of course in the  previous films [they went away from them] and we wanted to  reestablish\u00a0ourselves. That was one thing but the other thing was the  fact that the web-shooters\u00a0were able to dramatize Peter\u2019s intellect and I  thought that was really cool. \u2026 It was in the comics and we have a  different design but it\u2019s a cool element to have. It\u2019s not something we  over-use or over-exploit. To me, it\u2019s something I remember from when I  was a kid and thinking\u00a0\u2018It would be cool if I could build those.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Webb went on to reveal that the webbing issue was bundled in his mind with the Spider-Man\u00a0costume.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe paid attention to the question of \u2018How would a kid make it?\u2019 And  obviously we took some license with it. We also wanted a design that  would make the body longer and more lithe, more of an acrobat, someone  incredibly agile, and the legs of the spider [symbol on the chest]\u00a0were  something we used to emphasize that. We made a bunch of different suits  for different lighting conditions. I wanted something that worked in the  night a little better. We paid attention to that and also made the  webbing [on the costume] a little bit darker.\u00a0 With the costume and the  web-shooters we wanted to emphasize that these are things that Peter  Parker made and that he is special himself even if he feels like he\u2019s\u00a0an  outsider.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; Marc Webb spoke to the LA Times and revealed why the he chose not to use organic<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-5771","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-geeky-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5771","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5771"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5771\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":5773,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/5771\/revisions\/5773"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5771"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=5771"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.geekworldordersite.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=5771"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
