Start spinning your favorite house beats, because we’re diving into MTV’s hip CGI curiosity, Spider-Man: The New Animated Series!

We also go deep into its bizarrely messy first episode, with its confusing morality, inconsistent characterization, and some very, very unfortunate sentiments about protests and police.
