The two-part finale of MTV’s Spider-Man begins with a mind-bendy fantasy featuring two villains named Sergei (one played by Spike and the other played by Worf), another villain played by Kathy Griffin (!!!), and quite possibly the creepiest Stan Lee cameo. 

We’re watching Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: Season 1, Episode 12: “Mind Games, Part One”.

Electro’s back, and in a clever bit of continuity, he’s after Sally – the previously unnamed girl that smiled at him literally one time. And despite some of this show’s usual writing weaknesses and odd choices, there’s plenty to keep us pretty electrified.

We’re watching Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: Season 1, Episode 11: “When Sparks Fly”.

Peter and his friends get entangled in Silver Sable’s assassination plot, which sticks Spidey into a political spy thriller and proves to be more complicated than anyone thought. Despite the clunky not-quite-a-pun title, this one’s pretty good! 

We’re watching Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: Season 1, Episode 10: “Spider-man Dis-Sabled”.

Flash Thompson gets a brain upgrade from the Re-Animator in a cartoonishly fun episode that feels pulled out of 80s Saturday morning cartoon fare! We discuss this show’s weird identity, Devon Sawa's teen heartthrob origins, why Peter and Indy make such a good pairing, and more.

We’ve finally made it to the original pilot (and, coincidentally, the first aired episode) of MTV’s Spider-Man, which reinvents Electro as a victim of hazing – kind of, considering this episode doesn’t seem to know how college Greek life works! 

We’re watching Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: Season 1, Episode 8: “The Party”.

Spider-Man has a stalker in an episode that, unfortunately, does not age well in its mishandling of mental health. But it’s a surprisingly fun and well-written episode (from an interesting Buffy writer, no less), including a Harley Quinn-esque performance from Tara Strong as essentially this show’s version of Tinkerer!

We’re watching Spider-Man: The New Animated Series: Season 1, Episode 7: “Head Over Heels”.

Spidey has to stop a hostage situation, but how can he do it when Peter Parker is a hostage too?! James Marsters leads a villain team with a weird name, Peter meets a refreshing and fun new love interest named Indy, and MJ continues to think of nothing but pining after Peter in another episode of MTV’s Spider-Man!

The secret’s out – we REALLY like this one! Eve guests as Black Cat (call her “Talon” as much as you want, but she’s definitely Black Cat) in a character-centric episode exploring Harry’s depression, a relatable struggle for Peter, and relationship drama that this show can pull off.

This is the one that’s basically a Kraven episode, except Kraven is replaced with a lecherous movie producer and a mystical sword lady who literally decapitates a guy. It’s…definitely edgy!

The Lizard brings in a spark of fun horror, stylistic setpieces, and genuine artistry to MTV’s Spider-Man series, but it also gives us a wildly unlikeable Curt Connors (voiced by Rob Zombie!), frustrating dialogue and story beats, and a very, very unintentionally funny death scene.
