Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man

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.

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!

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.

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%.

I was a bit skeptical about the show when it first aired its first season but after watching this show marvel cooked. This show is actually a top 3 Spider-Man animated series. The story of classic Peter Parker is amazing and they never gave us his bland and already seen origin story, they gave us a better origin story that somewhere outside the multiverse. The side characters also helped and carried the show in different ways that sets up a lot for future seasons not to talk of the ending scene with Peter dad being alive. Wow well done marvel this show is truly incredible. Looking forward to more great seasons.
