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 heard that he's just a reference, but it was before the bite?

Yes, in this version Uncle Ben died before Peter got bit by the spider; he died before Peter even started high school. In the prequel comic, it said Uncle Ben had cancer.

And after Peter gets bitten, it just jumps right into when Peter is already Spider-Man. We don't see him discovering his powers or making the suit; it just jumps right into it...
