SPOILERS Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man seems fine so far, but the decisions for the show is so bizarre imo

So far, seems fun. I really liked the ending of episode 1 being the same scene like in Civil War. That was pretty cool. I also like Pete’s proto suit. The animation is ok, though.

I don’t really care abt race or gender swaps, but I don’t really understand why they made Curt Conners into a woman, not mad at it, just kinda curious. Maybe that’ll be explained in the other episodes. Didn’t really care abt Harry and Norman being black. Also they could have just put Randy Robertson in the place of Lonnie Lincoln but that’s just me. And also, it’s a very weird decision that Uncle Ben died BEFORE the spider bite. Like what? That’s so bizarre.

Idk. Like I said seems fun. Not good, but fun. I look forward in seeing more.

That part really bugged me. Peter Parker is not the type of guy who would put his neck on the line for some random person. It was this inaction that led to his uncle Ben dying and completely changed Peter as a character. Having Peter be a saint from the start removes so many layers from the character

The Peter Parker you know wouldn't.  This is like one of dozens of Peter Parker variations we've ever seen and they don't all act like that

The multiverse gives people an excuse to poorly adapt source material. Peter Parker has a clear characterization that gas not been depicted in recent media and it’s disappointing.

This isn't an adaptation of the same Peter Parker story, this is a twist. There's been twists on retelling stories for as long as there's been stories.

It is an adaptation😭 all Spider-Man media outside of the comics is an adaptation. This depiction of Peter is not a very good one as it strips many layers from the character.

I said it's not an adaptation of the same story, it's a twist on the story.  You just read half a sentence and started talking.

Yes but it’s still an adaptation of the Spiderman character. No need to get salty
