Tell us there’s something better… than The Spectacular Spider-Man! We’re revisiting the entirety of our favorite Spider-Man show again from the beginning with full spoilers, and it begins with this whirlwind of a premiere! We talk about the show’s origins from creators Greg Weisman and Victor Cook, along with how this episode elegantly interweaves every element of Peter Parker’s life – from the high school drama with Gwen, Harry, and the bullies, to an internship with Dr. Connors and not-yet-evil Eddie Brock, to the Daily Bugle, to Oscorp and Vulture’s vendetta against never-apologizing Norman Osborn, to the Big Man and his Enforcers, to Aunt May’s banana cream pie. This episode is PACKED, and it only gets better from here!

We’re watching The Spectacular Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 1: “Survival of the Fittest”.
