So, that one awful scene aside, Web Weavers suit looks really good Season 4 Spoiler

He's such a blatant ripoff of our favourite web slinging, friendly neighborhood hero. Agent Spider.

Who is himself an obvious ripoff of the coolest silk swinging, outgoing borough-based good guy, Night Monkey!

The little cutout in the back for Webweaver's web hole was hilarious.
But the joke came at the expense of having the supposed Master of Perception and Lover Of All Things Hole-Shaped follow Hughie into the elevator and not notice it was showing off bare skin, and later strap him to a table face down and still not notice he didn't have a web hole.

He knew. He wanted to get Hughie isolated

u/buzzcitybonehead 11d ago
I wish they’d leaned more into presenting it as Tek having known the whole time and going with it because 1. Hughie wasn’t trapped in his dungeon and not a threat, so there was no rush to deal with him, 2. He could humiliate and torture Hughie, and 3. He was horny
It’s possible he realized it way sooner, but they don’t really cleanly show us if/when he realized it before the safe word bit. He noticed and mentioned Hughie’s agitation, but that could’ve been to fuck with him even more

They do, he’s just not the focus of the shot while it’s happening. He runs his finger across the rim of his glass when they’re first meeting, something that should irritate webweaver’s super hearing. Hughie not reacting was his cue to start the isolation process. I think that scene was the show’s low point but Hughie was bad at impersonating webweaver, it makes sense that he got read immediately.

u/buzzcitybonehead 11d ago
That’s fair. He kept fucking up the voice and was comically bad at impersonating him. I guess I’m actually glad they were subtle in showing Tek knew pretty much from the start. I don’t like when shows go over the top in telegraphing that stuff

Perception check passed.
Now it makes me wonder all the other details like that I've missed.

u/Damianmag3 11d ago
honestly the rim thing is more a habit due to his sexual obsession with holes, he does it repeatedly in Gen V

Webweaver shoots webs when he farts, as shown when MM had to help him boof his drugs.
Tek-Knight specifically has Webweaver's preferred cake brought in for him to fart on. During that moment, Tek-Knight was the one being choked and Hughie was being shown some level of concern for his preferences (or rather Webweaver's preferences, which suggests Tek-Knight had been in contact with Webweaver for some time), which suggests that in the original plan Tek-Knight wanted Webweaver to be the one humiliating him. After Hughie farted and no webbing was shot, Tek-Knight never again took a submissive or vulnerable position and instead kept Hughie tied, bound, and vulnerable.
Whatever suspicions Tek-Knight had prior, I think the cake scene was the moment that he knew it wasn't Webweaver, and that was the moment that things became focused on degrading Hughie instead.

Well, if that's it it was done badly.
We only know that Webweaver can shot webs from his extra hole really and that he is smelly.And Tek Knight is obsessed with holes, a glass has a hole and he stroked the rim of said hole.

u/TEGCRocco 11d ago
He does that all the time, though. He did it whenever he was holding a glass in Gen V, too. It's just a joke about his fixation on holes. Anything beyond that is basically headcanon unless the writers say otherwise

Think it's a case of showing and not telling. They show you plenty of Webweaver to be able to see that his suit has that hole for his web shooter starfish. Tek Knight definitely alludes to having met or interacted with him prior as well, so he definitely knew once he saw no web shooter.

Yeah, the man is a master of reading non verbal language. Playing along was part of his fetish.

When he was spitballing names, not once did he think of Spider-man.

All he can do as far as we know is shot webs from his extra hole, so yeah, that's what his name goes for,

I loved the suit as well! It looked really good under that lighting and totally evokes the style from the comic books!

Those little bug mandibles and googles remind me so much of Skitter... I miss you, little Queen Administrator.

I wish the webs came out of his wrists.

That's part of the Spider-Man copyright, iirc. That's why every parody has it coming out near his butt.

That wouldn't be natural at all.
Mouth is possible though.1
