    Angry Windmills Don't Work That Way!

    Have you ever seen something that looks like it should work a certain way and then you find out that's not how it does?

    There was this cabinet or something and I couldn't open it. It looked like it should open out and I pulled it and some people came to help me pull it open. Finally the owner came over and popped the top off of it. It looked like a cabinet, but it was chest. What's up with that?

    I used to think spiderman shot webbing out of a webgun on his wrist (like the toy ones you could buy) then I actually saw the movie and they seem to come out of some kind of silk gland??

    Yeah, that's a movie thing. In the original comics Peter Parker invents them himself. In Marvel's ULTIMATE universe, he still invents them, except the web material is based on some of his father's research. </geek>

    It goes along with the belief of the film makers that he isn't smart enough to make such a thing, although his mutation is supposedly easier to believe.

    Just like the Phoenix is a multiple personality, instead of what she was in the original stories...

    go figure.

    Actually I think it was more a time restraint more than anything. I mean in the original comics it built suspence him changing his cartridages in the middle of a fight. Plus, they covered a lot in the first movie. Got nothing on the Phoenix thing though, I agree they kinda butchered her.
