Spider-Man: 10 Dumbest Creative Decisions The Comics Have Ever Made

These days, it's pretty common for what happens in the movies to influence the comic books. The trend really started with the release of those early X-Men and Spider-Man films, though, and a big change was made to the wall-crawler to line up with Sam Raimi's onscreen vision.

In his trilogy, Peter Parker had "organic" web-shooters and didn't create them himself, an idea deemed unrealistic for a teenager in the world those movies took place in.

Crossing paths with a weird new villain called the Queen, a kiss leads to Spider-Man transforming into a spider, though he starts by growing extra arms and eyes. From a body horror point of view, it's not bad, but things get incredibly dumb when it's revealed the giant spider he's become is pregnant with the Queen's offspring.
