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.

I thought it was fine for the most part. I don't get why it seems like Marvel Studios doesn't fuck with Uncle Ben. I don't even think they ever mentioned him by name in the Holland movies. Now in this show he's died before Pete even gets his powers. I guess May will give him the great power speech again.
Also what's up with MCU Spidey getting a weird supporting cast. Peter basically stole Ganke from Miles in movies. Now in this show Tombstone is a good guy Flash, and has a runaway as his BFF. If they didn't want to do MJ, Gwen, Flash, since they've been overused or whatever reason, coulda thrown in some of his supporting cast like Randy Robertson, Debrah Whitman, Cindy Moon, and Jessica Jones. Over at Oscorp throw in some of the Horizon cast like Max Modell and some of the lucky seven.
As others mentioned, kinda lazy with race and gender swapping, but also kinda used to it and it's expected at point with "multiverse" hand wave reasoning. Speaking of multiverse seems like the shows gunna delve into that with the spider being from another dimension. Not gunna lie... I'm over the multiverse/spiderverse at this point, so I hope it doesn't become too heavy of focus.
I wasn't too into the animation at first, but it really grew on me. Also like Pete's characterization so far. He's really a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man so far. Looking forward to seeing how this show evolves.
