Season 1 of Ultimate Spider-Man ends as Spider-Man leaves S.H.I.E.L.D. for good… and then promptly returns a few minutes later! Among all the fun Green Goblin/Venom action–and a good Harry Osborn story–we talk about some of the frustrating narrative cul-de-sacs this show takes, the bizarre reveal of Luke Cage, White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Nova’s home lives (and how the show has utterly failed all of them), and why Phil Coulson needs to be off the show.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 26: “Rise of the Goblin”.

The season finale of Ultimate Spider-Man begins just as Derek returns–along with a new hairless, armless, cat-mechless Doc Ock! We talk about the effectiveness (or lackthereof) of Spidey’s team and how the show tries to sell an friendship arc we never saw, how Venom/Spider-Man DNA could Norman Osborn into a mutant Green Goblin monster with a weird metal arm, and this show’s flawed approach to season-long storytelling.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 25: “Revealed”.

The Beetle is back! …sort of? And he’s ruining Agent Coulson’s date with Aunt May! Glitterjaw’s own Merrilee (Fear Coded) returns to untangle the messy continuity of Ultimate Spider-Man’s Beetle story. We also chat about parent teacher conferences and drop some Doug and Merrilee high school lore, delve into the realm of ancient Roman goddesses, and break down what works and doesn’t work about Coulson and Spider-Man’s respective histories with the world’s deadliest mercenary.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 24: “Attack of the Beetle”.

Spider-Man accidentally gives Captain America’s shield to the most dangerous man in the world, and Glitterjaw’s own Merrilee (Fear Coded) steps in to break it down. We dig into the extremely brief Aliens homage at the start, get a lesson in the make-up of Captain America’s shield, and try desperately to figure out exactly which lesson we’re supposed to take away from this story.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 23: “Not a Toy”.

There are only a few episodes of Spider-Woman left, and Glitterjaw’s own Katie (Novel Gaming) joins Doug to break down this time travel tale! Unsurprisingly, we create a rich backstory for another pre-90s one-off animated supervillain icon, do our best to unravel Spider-Woman’s time travel mechanics, and pose the question: what if the Wookiees-not-Wookiees were actually correct to invade the futuristic Domed City of Peace?

We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 14: “A Crime in Time”.

Doc Ock is back, and this time he’s more menacing than ever, because he’s got… a huggable robo-cat suit? Glitterjaw’s own David Arnold is back to cover an episode that definitely shouldn’t be anyone’s first, because all the returning players are adults with ongoing capital-D drama. We talk all about Harry’s daddy issues, Spider-Man’s lack of MCU-like daddy issues surrounding Iron Man, and what it would take for us to issue a daddy card to this Otto Octavius.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 22: “The Iron Octopus”.

Mary Jane Watson writes a Spider-Man musical for Midtown High, and Flash is the star! Glitterjaw’s own David Arnold steps in to break down Ultimate Spider-Man’s version of the classic “Flash Thompson gets mistaken for Spider-Man” tale. We talk about how this episode handles its in medias res opening, how to build a mid-season episode that could be anyone’s first, and how this show managed to tell a story that involves two teenaged boys sharing a spandex suit in the context of musical theater without being homophobic even once!

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 21: “I Am Spider-Man”.

Spider-Man is turned into a Spider-Ham thanks to a magic hot dog, and is chased by boar-killing Asgardian hunters in a game with Thor and Loki… and somehow, none of it is as weird and wacky as you’d expect! We talk about the ways this show sometimes chooses safer narrative options despite being a comedy, and also dig into the Phil Coulson hype of the early MCU.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 20: “Run Pig Run”.
