Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

Nothing wrong with apple pie or rhubarb crumble, but once you start changing the basic ingredients of one it soon becomes the other. I get it, the makers want to bring it up to date and take the story into a new direction etc. - inject a new cultural demographic. However, having seen many versions of Spiderman from the 70s, to date I am not sold on the amount of changes. Don't get me wrong, this is well worth a watch, it is drawn and voiced beautifully - with a well matched musical score and script, and the changes might keep some guessing what next. Alas this version of Spiderman has too many changes for me to call it amazing!

This show is one of the better recent products the MCU has delivered and I'm shocked at the amount of negative reviews.

The animation is fantastic, mixing simple images with complex movements. It's very clean animation-wise compared to recent animated hits like the Spiderverse series and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem. It's unique enough to help the show stand out while staying simple enough to take nothing away from the other well done aspects.

I've also been very impressed with the voice acting all around. Many of the voice actors appear to be paying homage to the voices we are used to, almost putting their own take on those who came before them.

Overall this is worthy of a watch.

75%.

Rest, please watch... Dont waste your time searching for the right review. It's fun!

I am writing this review because i have to cover the base word limit. Nothing important below there. That's just me explaining why i am loving watching this show. No spoilers...just my happy thoughts about the show.

Jusy finished watching EP 8. What a banger episode. The Nostalgia, the character development, the story arch changing. And you actually feel for the characters, their relationships with each other. And Peter's dilemma of choosing the side that with humour.

A very lighthearted but beautiful watch.

I don't understand why fans are so hostile to a new animation.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Judging from the two episodes released so far, the quality is no less than that of Spectacular Spider-Man in 2008 and the Spider-Man animated series in 1994.

This is a Spider-Man story in a parallel universe, not a traditional Spider-Man story.

From the perspective of the play, the thought and ingenuity put into the first episode made the first episode so outstanding. It almost covers all the elements of Spider-Man adaptations.

Telling the story of Spider-Man from the perspective of a friendly neighbor gave me a big surprise. I like that Spider-Man gave the thief a second chance after catching her. I like Peter's daily life as a high school student. I like the interaction between Aunt May and Peter. I like that Lonnie is still strong in such a chaotic neighborhood.

The title cover of each episode is different. The arrangement of the music in the performance makes me very happy when watching Spider-Man swinging in city.

The second episode is about how Peter, a newcomer, balances heroism and daily life. The firefighting plot is really a classic in the Spider-Man story, and the screenwriter can still play new ideas in the classic.

The fight in the pet store is really interesting. Rescuing dogs, pet fish and birds really makes this character a lot cuter.

In short, I really think this is going to be a great Spider-Man show. When I saw the imdb rating, I was really confused by the low score. It deserves a higher score.

This show has a certain charm to it that's tough to put into words... But I can try!

If, like me, you've been a Spider-Man fan for more than 29 years, you've likely seen the New Yorker go through several shows, movies, games and everything in between. But, seldom does the medium convey the hero's innocence and nostalgia like a comic book read. And that's exactly where this show hits the spot!

It has everything you'd expect in a Spider-Man narrative, but with a lot of twists. Different characters, familiar origin stories and fresh faces.

A lot more people need to watch this, and I genuinely hope the showmakers continue to evolve this series.
