Please Explain This to Me....

....I understand that Spider-Man can stick to walls, but how can Ol' Parker Buddy stick to walls THROUGH his costume?

Okay.

I need a hobby.

I need a hobby.

You won't get an argument from me on that.

On the other hand, I must need a hobby, too, because I read your post and started trying to work the answer out. Couldn't come up with anything though. Just, velcro, maybe?

*L* The image of Spider-Man sitting down in his apartment after a hard day of battling criminals with horrible fashion sense and picking out all the stray yarn and string from his velcro pads is amusing.

The hairs on his palms obviously go through his costume - it's not gel on them you see...

But, dang, that must make for a lot of darning...

I still want to know why in the comic/series he makes his web, but in the movie they just let it be an organic thing. It never made much sense to me why a man bitten by a radioactive spider would be able to scale sheer walls, but not spin web from his forearms, so the movie wins out on that one. Still...

Don't get me started! I do this kind of thing all the time and it really annoys my husband. Even worse, I always point out 'movie flaws' during the movie. He hates that. My favorite flaw is from Back to the Future II where McFly's mom gets hit by Biff and she falls to the floor and one shoe comes off, and next, while she's still on the floor, both shoes are off...oopsie. But back to impossibilities...how is it that Superman could fly around the globe, fast enough to rotate it and turn back time, yet his hair isn't mussed and his clothes aren't torn up? I mean, winds up to 65 miles an hour will put a drinking straw through a tree, yet even faster and his puny clothes aren't torn at all??

Nice to see you examining the big picture

The problem with Superman is that if he really tries to stop that speeding car, likely the bonnet would get wrapped and mangled all around him - excepting that part he was able to stop flat. Same principle for cars getting mangled in crashes.

I can't even get that deep with Superman. While I understand that he has his costume underneath his clothes, I don't get, however, where the heck he keeps the boots.
