When Ralph said he skipped the cutscenes, I was pretty disappointed. It has some of my favorite Spidey moments. The texting scene, the cooking with MJ scene, the dock ock stuff was great, the Martin Li stuff was interesting as well, the set pieces were really cool. I just think skipping cutscenes is like missing out on one of the best Spidey pieces of storytelling.

[@danielhewson4132]

Bobby Pendragon don’t be offended....Ralph is really pretentious sometimes. Alex and Adam really liked and Adam said it isn’t any worse than an mcu story and Ralph loves them. 🤔

[@alonso171000]

the "fuck me" scene at the end of Ben and Arthur is a reference to Brian de Palma's Scarface (1983). a similar concept from Scarface but it was at least better explained, unlike Ben and Arthur. I thought Ralph would have gotten the reference since he likes crime films

[@The3Virus]

It's great as far as Spider-Man goes but on terms of story and animation it's just a decent cartoon.

[@zigsterabs7439]

unknown unknown I think he was talking about the comics where doc ock takes over Peter Parker’s body

[@jonnemesis11]

I think he's talking about the show because he said "portrayal" which implies it's an adaptation. Besides, the comics where Doc Ock takes over Peter's body is Superior Spider-Man.

[@mrgibbets34]

I’ve been watching it recently and I gotta say I don’t really see what all the hype is about. It’s pretty simplistic and the animation does not hold up like at all. It’s not bad but so from what I’ve see it doesn’t deserve the praise it’s received.

There was only really two of the stealth sections as people who aren't Spider-Man I thought were cool. The one at Grand Central Station with Mary Jane and how you pretty much just tell Spider-Man when to take guys out. That was kind of unique, and definitely the best Mary Jane one. As for Miles, the one where he has to avoid Rhino was unique and somewhat interesting. I'd still skip them if that was an option, though

Drinking electrolytes let you get Hydrated quicker, so for example instead of drinking 2 glasses of water you can drink 1 glass of electrolyte-rich solution( ratio will depend on many factors such as weight, diet, metabolism, etc..). You still have to drink water later because your blood is gonna be pretty rich in glucose and minerals, salts. It's very useful when doing long workouts because you don't have to bloat yourself with water while running, it is also useful for people that are sick and have a hard time getting stuff down. But, again it's not a replacement for water and should never be taken that way in the long term. These drinks are Also extremely acidic, and bad for your teeth, on top of having a lot of sugar so there is also that to keep in mind.
