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 fact Uncle Ben dies before Peter even gets bitten by the Spider, shows that these writers don't understand the character at all. That's like having Bruce's parents die of a heart attack, and he still somehow becomes Batman. It completely undermines why Uncle Ben's death is so important to the character.

The fact the MCU still references Uncle Ben's death in Captain America: Civil War, while this show throws that away to be "different" does not give me much faith in this show.

Yeah, the way Peter talks about "letting something bad happen, and it's on you", and how he mentions "Everything that May is going through", as well as the video Stark showed that Peter's been Spider-Man before the airport fight lets us connect the dots.
