The first season of Spider-Man (2017) comes to a close with an episode that proves once and for all that Harry Osborn was the real main character all along, and we dive deep into how his story accurately portrays gaslighting. We also discuss how the show has changed since its debut (and why it may have to do with a departing showrunner), the missteps with Miles and Uncle Ben, another great “If This Be My Destiny” homage, and how this finale echoes The Spectacular Spider-Man. 

We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 1, Episode 25: “Hobgoblin, Part Two”.

In-depth discussion of gaslighting begins at 06:00 and ends around 10:50.

The Sinister Six fully debuts, featuring its newest member… Spider-Man?! The first season finale of Spider-Man (2017) begins with wall-to-wall action and great animation, a neat reinvention of Steel Spider, and a surprisingly heroic entrance for Harry Osborn as Hobgoblin.

Teen superheroes in robot mechs shoot lasers at spider-monsters! Anya continues to kick ass! Miles finally gets to do something! Peter and Harry have an even bigger falling out! The Spider-Island arc concludes with a whammy of an episode (and we conclude that this arc needed more Max Modell.)

We’ve got a city full of spider-monsters. We’ve got Anya kicking ass. We’ve got semi-spider-mutant Norman Osborn fighting the Jackal. We’ve got everyone asking “Where’s Miles?” And we’ve got the big moment we’ve all been waiting for between Peter and Harry. This is a big one, folks!

The Spider-Monsters are here! Well, Gwen-Monster and the Stealth-Spider-Monster are, at least, and Kraven shows up to hunt them. Plus, Peter swings around without his Spider-suit! Anya kicks ass! Harry...does not kick ass, but he does drive a sick battle van!

The whole city’s got spider powers now – which makes for a jealous Peter Parker – but this episode is more interested in a spy story with Black Widow and HYDRA. But hey, we also get more Spider-Gwen… and finally, the triumphant return of Anya!

The beginning of this epic five-parter gives us not one, but two new Spider-folks! Spider-Gwen makes her unexpected arrival alongside the mysterious Stealth Spider, and they all have to contend with Harry Osborn’s flame sword, loads of technobabble, and a climax that weirdly foreshadows No Way Home.

The Doc Ock saga concludes with, surprisingly, the biggest Osborn-centric episode so far – with major progression in Harry and Peter’s degrading friendship, the Norman/Jackal war coming to a head, the formation a Sinister…uh…Five, and oh yeah I guess Otto is kinda there too?

Despite the title, this is an episode very confusingly not about Otto. But if you can get past that, it’s a fun Spider-Man/villain team-up as Peter’s visit to Oz Academy turns into an all-out war between Norman Osborn’s commandos and Jackal’s army of Rhinos!
