And personally, THIS is my favorite Goblin voice.
That was funny, man. Good stuff.

Looking forward to Dr. Octopus next week. Come to think of it, I am beyond amused that Doc Ock makes his villainous debut in the eighth episode of the series.
Well, she does seem a bit attracted to him so far. Who knows what'll happen in the future.
But where would I be if I didn't discuss Mary Jane? I already said that Vanessa Marshall sounds great, and I love Cheeks' character design for her. I've called this the first time Mary Jane has appeared outside the comic book medium. The 90s series had a character named Mary Jane Watson, but that wasn't Mary Jane Watson. The movies turned MJ into Gwen-Lite. But here she was smart, witty, funny, and someone you'd want to hang out with. I also suspect that she already knows Peter is Spider-Man. Poor Gwen. Hell, poor Flash... he's going to have to dress up like a cheerleader.
lol.Less of a fruitcake and more of a total @$$hole. Just the way I like my villains.
Just a correction, your not crazy about the art direction the series has. Animation is different thing, the animation is way better than SM TAS' sometime's stiff animation.This is a pretty smart show and I continue to be impressed by it. Watching it is like seeing some of the old Essentials come to life; classic Spidey throughout.
There's a decent sized character roster that doesn't get skimped on development, the action scenes are great and the storytelling is ...spectacular.
This episode was right up there. Green Goblin is my favorite villain so far. The exchanges between he and Spider-Man were great. MJ made quite the impression and it'll be interesting to see how Gwen fits into this looming triangle.
Everything else I could say has pretty much been covered. They manage to squeeze an awful lot into 30 minutes. Still not crazy about the animation, but I'm definitely loving the show. It's reigning supreme in my DVR.![]()

Why do you suppose that? How would she be able to observe or deduce that, especially since she has not come into direct contact with Spider-Man? I mean, to stress, I am not at all familiar with the comics, but it seems to me that it would be a really big logical stretch for her to know--it would strain the needed suspension of disbelief.

HAHA! Agreed, It's taking quite a few risks that other shows haven't taken. They say dying and dead in the show unlike The Batman or LOS. But that line tops it"Randy?"
"Very!"
How did that get past Standards and Practices??? Nice!

Lee/Ditko comics again. Mary Jane saw Spider-Man (going in or coming out. I can't remember) of Peter's window the night Uncle Ben died.
Very true, also, I think that MJ not knowing that peter is attracted to her will keep their relationship a mystery for sometime. It just seems so likely that they may not hook up at the moment.Right. It could play out that while MJ does genuinely like Pete, she may feel he'd make a better friend than a boyfriend at this point in her life. Or, if she does really like Peter as more than a friend and he and Gwen end up getting together, her response, based on what we see so far, could be to say, "I'm really happy for you, tiger. And just because we're no longer dating doesn't mean we can't be friends, right?" Or maybe, we might have a scenario in which MJ tries to help Gwen win over Peter, knowing full well that they'd be a good match-up.Then, if Gwen does, lets say die or moves away for good after the death of her dad, then MJ could be around to comfort Peter and things will blossom from there. Hey, with this show, it could easily happen.
That's not from the Lee/Ditko era, but from the graphic novel Parrallel Lives. He was climbing out of his bedroom window going to get Ben's killer.Lee/Ditko comics again. Mary Jane saw Spider-Man (going in or coming out. I can't remember) of Peter's window the night Uncle Ben died.

Lol.The mask is removed, and it is revealed that the Green Goblin is...

Really, the "suspense" behind Green Goblin's "secret" identity is feeling more and more like very unsubtle melodrama.


Nice reviews, guys.
About Glory, well I think she may have genuinely liked Harry but she was with Kong far long than the rich Osborn kid. Just something to thing about. I wouldn't say she used Harry.
Was great seeing John Jameson in this ep. Spidey may not have found that bomb without his help. Nice stuff.
"Randy?"
"Very."
I cannot believe that line made it on that show!!![]()
Yeah, lol, they can use suggestive dialogue sometimes when it's necessary.And then there was Felicia Hardy's infamous description about Dr. Octopus that somehow made it past strict 90's censors: "He reminds me of Flash Thompson; all hands!"
But I seriously doubt that it is him simply because Harry in no way would know who L. T. Lincoln/Tombstone/Big Man is. The Green Goblin, as per his comic debut, seeks to control the underworld and wants to start by taking out the Big Man. Harry would never know about that; Norman would.
