Brand New Day Reveals a Major Change to Spider-Man’s Powers, and It Revives a Decades-Old Fan Debate

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man movies did things a little differently. While the first film in 2002 followed the origin story closely, it made one key change: Peter Parker’s web-shooters were created by his own natural abilities instead of being a piece of technology he invented. Raimi believed Peter Parker was meant to be a relatable, ordinary hero, and didn’t want him portrayed as a brilliant inventor. This was a debated choice at the time, but it’s now being incorporated into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
