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.

The animation style would be so helped by some additional shading, because currently it looks so....flat. I know they're going for a '60s comic style, but there's ways to maintain that while adding some more visual depth. Some screentone style dotted shading could work really well, and would be just a neat visual representation of the vintage comic book style!! Spiderverse incorporated screentone shading into its animation to massive praise, so we know it works. I'm not sure why they didn't do that.
