10 Revelations That Will Make You See Iconic Screen Superheroes Very Differently

3. Spiders Are Masochists

Peter Parker hit the lottery of superpowers: he gets bitten by a radioactive spider and gets pretty much every benefit of a spider like the strength, agility, and the ability to crawl up walls. Boom, instant better life, right? Throw in his webbing that Sam Raimi decided he should produce naturally, and the guy is sitting pretty in the "win" section. Except by the same logic, he should also have some of the weaknesses of spiders, but Raimi and Marvel simply refused to acknowledge these issues, and frankly did the character more of a disservice than any horrible third film could do. For instance, spiders can't digest solid foods, so Aunt May must have found it rather peculiar that Peter started putting the chicken, mash potatoes and gravy in a blender one day to liquify them before eating. That is a minor inconvenience, but when it comes to sexy time, Peter may have been getting kinkier than MJ is ready for. Some spiders get real into copulation and let the female spider eat them since it helps the mating last longer and thus increases the likelihood of insemination, which is about as kinky as you could ever imagine. And that's to mention nothing of the fact that Spidey's web should be "slung" out of his bottom, if biology was really reflected in the film.
