Starting point is 00:01:33 long enough to see season two spectacular spider man let's watch episodes one and two and three two one getting it this show's great oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah who do we got as adaptations go really crushing yeah dude this is terrific

Starting point is 00:01:54 oh my goodness I like these are just such a joy yeah I'm just happy watching Angela Bryant who we got as old old Craven himself here Eric Vesbit Alright Eric Vesbit Sounds like a familiar name but I could just be

Starting point is 00:02:08 Mandela ing myself And also always good to see Phil Lamar If you are just tuning in to Spotify We are about to dive into spectacular Spider-Man season two episodes one And two Hell's yeah We're gonna talk about both episodes

Starting point is 00:02:21 The first episode was very immediately right after season one, which I like. It was like days, weeks later. I love that we are like diving right into the relationship with Gwen, the juggling of girls. I think this is the most accurate. I've seen Peter Parker be a nerd, but also his charm and his altruism is what gets him girls. Like there's, the movies just haven't to me found that girls are interested in Peter

Starting point is 00:02:49 Parker because he's a good guy. Just because he's a good dude. Yeah. Like, and especially. with everyone picking on Peter, he stays good. Like, in a school of Flash Thompson's, be a Peter Parker and the girls see that. And I've always thought that was really endearing. And I've always loved that Mary Jane kind of stepped up when we lost Gwen.

Starting point is 00:03:05 I always thought Gwen was who he was destined to be with. I really like this long game getting to Gwen. And then I imagine would have been a long game getting to Mary Jane if that happens this season. I imagine if they had a five season plan, it would happen later. But they're doing a really good job juggling all the, like, love interests in a fun way. the villains are striking again. I'm really impressed with the villain characterization.

Starting point is 00:03:26 I don't love the beastification of Craven, but at the end of the day, like, I mean, Scorpion and there's so many. It's not un... But that's also kind of why I don't like it because they do it to everybody. And that's kind of what they crave and unique is that he was just like...

Starting point is 00:03:40 He's just a man. Yeah, and he would like take basically like steroids, these herbs, these crazy. The herbs that would make him hallucinate and really strong and crazy, but he didn't beast out. So like he was a beast. but it was going to be my question was sort of like yeah to what degree he took like acid steroids sure

Starting point is 00:03:56 and like that made him crazy but also wicked strong and like violent so this isn't necessarily a betrayal of like the core of the character but it's just like a bit less interesting than a what the source material allows you and b it it makes it quite similar to a lot of other yeah the issue is just like when when amazing spider man everything came out of oscorp i was like well i kind of just like i like the tech element but i didn't like they were all in the basement like hey we're just waiting to be the sinister six This feels similar where it's like If everyone's genetically modified

Starting point is 00:04:24 They're all just kind of similar Yeah But I obviously I don't know if on an animated show You can do a drug commentary And like there was always that commentary of Cravenoff in the comics Kills himself because he's completed the greatest hunt And the guilt of not feeling accomplished

Starting point is 00:04:38 And trying to find his fathers in the family line He shoots himself in the face with a shotgun After burying Spider-Man alive Wow So there's drug commentary on yeah it's dude it's so they're not going there hell yeah but the comic the one i recommended to you is like there's literally a commentary on like odying and drugs and like these spiders crawling over him and like the feeling of being itchy and like drugs like spiders become like a metaphor and like they cover him

Starting point is 00:05:05 and that's like his so that you can't really do obviously so maybe they're just decided like they want to do craving but they can't tell those stories because he's one of the R rated characters in comics sure and i could imagine how you would have your first season harry osborne like they don't do too much of like the overt like this is an allegory for a kid getting hooked on drugs but you know yeah it's like those vials in his locker like yeah that's there like that's clearly a part of that but i feel like that is probably for a cartoon geared at the audience that the main demo this is geared toward i imagine you could do that story a lot with a lot less hurdles in terms of content than just big Russian adult man taking, yeah,

Starting point is 00:05:50 performance enhancing drugs slash hallucinogenics. Which is a fun narrative, which I would love to see. Which I'm hoping the movie is in December. And I would adore to see an animation, but also yes. In December we're getting an R-rated, which makes me think they might do like an acid trippy PED story. Like I really hope that they kind of, I don't know,

Starting point is 00:06:08 take this license to go because they pushed it and they've done reshoots. Like part of me hopes that this is the rare occasion where they're like, know what? Let's go crazy. Let's go crazy. Let's go full bore into this. Venom's crazy. They're crazy. Make that part of your world. You're going to see some wild when you come to one of these Sony movies. I think that's the move. And I really liked Mysterio in the first episode. I thought that was a really fun use of his powers. I like that as ever, there's always that moment of like, is this the time they adapt to and make them magic? Like there's like Mysterio. I was going to say, it's a tradition. Oh yeah. Like, if Mysterio Mysterio is you, they've done the job

Starting point is 00:06:43 right. You got Mysterioed IRL because of the adaptation, which is great. Yeah. And I loved, you know, like, Jake Joan Hall is great. But I really love, especially with like a character like Mysterio makes me think of like those classic age comics and like that kind of imagery and stuff like that. And so to have him be this large theatrical presence, presence, sorry, I'm so like the post consonant our role is still really hard.

Starting point is 00:07:12 So, so tricky. But yeah, having all the green smoke and like the Mickey Mouseing of like all the music changing per little set and his big warehouses stuff. I just love the imagination of that. And that he was, I love how much of that they've done as well where you'll have like a secondary character to some other villain to show up later as like, oh, I was there. You know, like, rhino was kind of like that. And then you have tinkerer and you have tinkerer and you had a master planner. Master planner. And who's the scientist guy supposed to become?

Starting point is 00:07:40 Oh, Miles Warren is the guy that makes the clones. He's the jackal. the jackal and he's obsessed with gwen stacey which is real creepy because he's an old man and uh he clones gwen and peter and peter and he uses them as experiments and basically that's how he accidentally finds out peter spider man because he clones peter barker and he's like all i guys got spider man powers uh and then yeah it's a really interesting like it's a pretty dark storyline and then it turns into them not knowing the audience not knowing which spider man is real and then one spider man kills one spider man throws him down a chimney stack and then years later that spider comes back

Starting point is 00:08:10 he's like i'm the real clone you've been a lie and the audience is like 30 years of betrayal. I've been reading about a clone. And then for a few years, we don't know which one's which. And then one turns out to be Ben Riley. And then years later, Green Goblin kills him and he turns into dust. And that's how we're like, I guess we know what Spider-Man is. But the other day comes back. And then there's like a cane storyline, which implies that there are multiple clones. And then later on Ben Riley comes back, knowing he's a lot, but I love it. So happy. I am overwhelmed with this information, but I'm also happy. It's been fun to, I mean, because like we ended off season one on a pretty focused can full of

Starting point is 00:08:40 episodes with the Eddie Brock arc and the culmination of like the Sinister 6 so like I like the the fun of the early part of the season to me also is that like yeah you had that little tease of like oh yeah we're still thinking about Eddie we's he's still out there we still don't know what happened to Venom and he's not showing up at the lab yeah but then yeah we're introducing kind of we're getting into the fun of the world again and we're introducing yeah some larger looming stakes for the season but we're also just doing a couple you know classic you know villains hitherto unintroduced in the show up till now, you know, until like, so many good rogues. Yeah, no, and that's what it had me thinking because I was like, okay, one two punch, Mysterio and Craven,

Starting point is 00:09:19 like the first season felt like it utilized a lot. And then I was like, oh, yeah, you got these and I'm so many more. And I'm sure there are even more than I'm not thinking of off the top of my head. And then when they show up and be like, oh, of course. Yeah, that's been part of the fun of the show is like the villain of the week has felt deserved not like it's a waste. Like, they feel like they'll come back and reform and like, do you work well with a pack? Like, we get to grow again. But I also really like just like I consider Spider-Man the peer, if not superior, as far as rogues to Batman. I think the two best villain teams, like Batman and Spider-Man have the best villains. And they're utilized so well in villain of the week style and as teams

Starting point is 00:09:54 and like overarching arcs. The show does a really good job with its show Bible. Like its arcs are incredible. We just met Jackal. We've got so many different characters. And like, it's literally Jackal sitting down with the lizard and Green Goblin, like at a table. Like that's really exciting the places we can go we still don't know how much norman knows there's the the authoritarian like kind of villainy even with harry yeah um you know there could still be him as green goblin sure so i i just was really impressed with the arcs feeling like you get the little ones and the big ones and the first season really impressed me by the time i got to the end of how much they plotted out uh again it's a real shame we don't get five seasons in two movies no it's such a bummer and like ah jeez just like i love that they put this in the snow too and like again like you pointed out the swinging is a little bit updated the action the camera work and stuff is a little bit updated and like i don't know again the world continues to feel alive and like even little moments like with aunt may and him trying to take care of her after her heart attack yeah or the little stan lee cameo i thought was really nice like there's just yeah they find time for so much in these like it's wild to me

Starting point is 00:10:59 it's really impressive and and the first episode low key felt like a scooby duo oh so fun like so much of that imagery. The studio setting and like the old monster stuff. Yeah. And I love how different each episode feels, but it still feels like the same show. I love that in every episode, you get his personal life evolving.

Starting point is 00:11:16 I love the supporting characters. Even Jonah didn't speak, but he had his moment with the cradle. Like, he's still Jonah. There's little sprinkles to keep you. Liz, is breaking my heart. Yeah, because she's actually interesting.

Starting point is 00:11:26 Liz is great. She's not the very, you know, I'm a popular girl. She started a season one. She's had a great arc. She's actually interesting. She's growing and evolving. Yeah.

Starting point is 00:11:33 Ironically, so far, she's kind of got the Mary Jane arc where it's going from like party girl into actually wholesome sure so i'm liking the liz choice here yeah absolutely and it makes me curious about obviously that's kind of the hot potato right now is is like Gwen like is he gonna actually be able to get to Gwen and then and then like a clone win yeah i mean like well and that'll i mean you know they're not going to get into clone saga i love not knowing because there are so many seeds planted they can go a lot of directions from the comic standpoint of adaptation but there's also it's doing its own thing yeah absolutely and

Starting point is 00:12:04 hey maybe we'll get some more calypso it'd be cool to see yeah does she do stuff calypso's also got power she's uh she's like an enchantress does she only come as package with craven or sure show up on her own not as often but she does have times on her own uh Todd macfairlay and art she's really intense and like ethereal and there's a lot of like very psychedelic imagery with her but yeah uh love these two episodes very excited to get into episodes three and four next week please leave a comment below we're not going to read them you'll let us know what you've been going to you guys have a chat in the there without us.
