The idea of Osborn mentoring Peter instead of Stark sounds really interesting. A key thing about that character is that he is very much the antithesis of what Spider-Man is philosophically in that he uses his power and position to get what he wants selfishly, so I wonder if Osborn is actually going to mentor Peter or just use him as a means to an end. Osborn in this show could essentially represent Tony Stark if he hadn't been humbled or grounded by events such as being captured by the Ten Rings or being traumatized after the Battle of New York. He's someone with all the resources but none of the morality or devotion to responsibility, and Peter at this stage isn't aware of that

[@michaeljosephjackson2364]

Tony philosophy doesn't match with spiderman While norman philosophy do know how to get spiderman to his higher limits

[@cezarjulian0320]

@@michaeljosephjackson2364 at the end of the day both Peter and tony want the same thing, Norman is as evil as a villain can get. That’s why this switch up is so interesting, it’s seeing an impressionable Peter form a bond with a villain that ISNT doc ock

I'm just fulfilled as an animation fan that Disney is at least trying to make animation alive through their series that will definitely have a bigger budget than Marvel's Spider-Man 2017. And hopefully Transformers Earthspark writing can take itself more genuinely than the past years. Animated is still the most polished Transformers story to me.

[@ironmaster6496]

Prime was really good too

[@wdcain1]

Nico Minaru being a classmate of Peter's is interesting since the toon might dwell on his magical rogues like Jack 'o Lantern, Puma, and Conundrum.

[@wander7812]

When you realize Spidey is so iconic they can make any bad show with it if they want to and they would TOTALLY get away with it.

[@artandstuffproductions3640]

I think the issue with what if is that they cut off what if storylines, ex. “What if… hulk had the intelligence of Bruce banner?”, by putting those storylines in the normal universe, in this specific case ENTIRELY OFF-SCREEN, and they aren’t doing things like “what if Spider-Man and Tony had never met?” for reasons unknown to me.

[@Gemnist98]

Remember that Harley Quinn teaser trailer where they made fun of the fact that Donald Glover’s Deadpool show had gotten canceled? I feel like we’re now living in the exact opposite timeline.

[@zemox2534]

I have to admit, this new Spider-Man cartoon looks pretty good. I like the idea that it is taking more inspiration from the 60s comics and not based in the mcu. It allows for more creativity and the crew won't have to worry about tying into the MCU.

[@calebedwards6964]

It would be really cool if you tried reviewing all renditions of deadpool. Its probably daunting.(I mean just reviewing the games and movies hes been in but you know you can do whatever you want with this idea)

[@LordCornshoe]

The best thing I ever saw written about the Netflix Transformers' shows was "This show lacks passion and actively robs you of it with every passing second you watch."

[@purpleperfection6304]

The thing I want more than anything (it will definitely never happen) is for the 90's Hulk Cartoon to also come back and be a 1 to 1 adaptation of Immortal Hulk but still have the vibe of the classic cartoon so you have this bizarre mash of modern storytelling and gory visuals with old school animation and presentation

[@Seasonal-Shadow_4674]

The only things giving me hope for the future of Marvel Animation are Sony’s Spider Verse franchise, X-men ‘97, and Spider-Man Freshmen Year

[@radrno7]

I want Spider-Man!

[@thehale_]

Is there a reason why Spider-Man keeps being reset to being in highschool? Most of his stories in the comics take place post-highschool/college. Not a big deal, but kind of strange.

[@sheldonlarmond6217]

Everything everywhere all at once was frickin great and I cant wait to watch it again

8:30 Cyberverse actually becomes a super fun show after season 1. They introduce a bunch more characters and Bumblebee becomes way less of a main character (Which is a good thing)

EGAD! It’s that terrifying spot between the numb and mundaneness of consciousness, the drear and emptiness of death and the horrific yet still not quite as bad as hanging with your In-laws-ness of sleep paralysis! ITS- ITS THE GUTTER SPACE!!!!

[@tomjames9681]

I don’t like the idea that we couldn’t have had an in-canon Spider-Man prequel show set in the MCU that couldn’t be meaningful, while not contradicting the MCU timeline. I mean, first season of Daredevil slots into the MCU timeline fine and is super well written and meaningful. But I agree that I like it being unrelated so it isn’t limited by the MCU canon AT ALL so they can do whatever they want.

[@paxtonstewart8042]

I feel like a prequel style thing doesn’t necessarily need a show. I could see part of the next movie being dedicated to flashbacks showing the different events of how Peter met his friends, contrasted with his loneliness

[@toontrooper4103]

Yeah Daredevil was good but it wasn't a prequel. Spidey's different in just that we see everything that happens after that point so anything he does would have to make sure it doesn't contradict his specific canon.

I grew up with Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man like many other people did, but even seeing him for the first time on the big screen wasn't anywhere near as good in terms of quality as Top Gun: Maverick was.
