Great episode; this series is hitting winners consistently.

Glory's mention of the school's theatre program obviously sets up MJ transfering there in the near future. I was a bit surprised at the lack of interaction between Peter and Gwen and Eddie at the prom; we just got a brief reaction.

I really like the portrayal of Nerd Harry's rise to the popular crowd; very surprised at Glory's leaving him at the ball, since they seemed to have been setting her up as someone with more integrity.

MJ's portrayal in this episode was basically the exact opposite of every standard superhero girlfriend. Oh no, Flas mentioned the bet! Sure she'll be angry and ditch him? She doesn't. Oh no, our hero has to leave his date and run off to save the day! Surely she'll be petty and angry? Well, MJ isn't. She's been elected prom queen with Peter's arch-rival? She sticks around.

Intro of the Goblin was strong; I loved the 90s Goblin, and this one was a worthy successor. The Goblin is obviously Norman, though they're trying to trick kids into thinking it's Harry (on how many will that work, I wonder, given the popularity of the first Spider-Man movie?).
 
Okay I just finished watching Catalysts.

This episode gets a 10/10 (And I hardly give 10/10). I absolutely loved how Green Goblin was handled. And I found it refreshing that they didn't explain the origin right off the bat, leave it a mystery for a little while yet. It's a nice nod to the comics. As usual, the writing is top notch and the animation wonderful as always. I found the pacing to be good as well, I loved the flashback. The plot was wonderful. There is nothing that I don't like about this show. Hah, Harry just ignores Gwen and Eddie, he's slowly turning into a tool. Hah, I also liked the look on everyones face when Pete shows up with Mary Jane Watson. Also, it seems that things are going to become more tense between Peter and Eddie. Oh my, Flash knows how to break it down! And it's insane that Harry's been hooked on the goblin formula...perhaps a throwback to when Harry had an addiction problem in the comics. I wasn't expecting that. And i've got to say, Goblin was bad ass, there is no doubt about that. Haha, and MJ was so cool. And I wonder what the inclusion of John Jameson will bring? Man-Wolf...or a certain sentient tar from another world? Hmmmm. Either way, I can't get enough of Spectacular Spider-Man.

Okay...wow...just wow!

Awesome review, Arcturus. :up:
 
Way to go for continuity. The Daily Bugle is still a wreck from Rhino's rampage. Gotta love this show.
 
I still think that thug was Macendale aka Jack o Lantern.

Absolutely!

Also I just want to say that Greg Weisman and crew certainlly deserve all the credit and praise, they're doing an astounding job on this show and I think the Spectacular Spider-Man will be around for quite some time to come.



:word::up:
 
I just finished watching it. I don't think there's anything I can say that has not been said several times already. Top notch episode. I'm eternally greatful that the Goblin didn't sound irish! Loved Otto's little cameo.

Really felt bad for Harry. I was delighted when MJ won Queen of the prom, just to spite those two b1tches! John Jameson seems like a cool character. I hope they use him more in future episodes. Although, not as Man Wolf.

9/10 for this episode. Now, bring on Doc Ock :otto:
 
it's said that in "Persona", the symbiote will kick in.
my guess is that John Jameson will bring it.

That's very possible, considering the fact that John Jameson will most likely be going to space in an upcoming episode. :up:

So symbiote is set to arrive in the next episode for sure than. I wonder what will its role be until it bonds to Peter since there is a gap of one episode.

No, not the next episode. The next episode has the Green Goblin and Doc Ock. :yay:

So minor nitpick. Spidey-runs out of web fluid for both shooters, so he reloads one arm. We then see him swinging using both web shooters. He then reloads the second web shooter.

You're right. It quite inconsistent because there are sequences where he is using just his left shooter and then parts where he uses both before the reload.

I really see no evidence that suggests that it is safe to say that.

Let see she doesn't get upset @ Parker for running off to take pictures for JJJ

She waits for Parker to come back and even saved "The Last Dance" for him .

It obvious just like in the 90's introduction episode of Gobby . "ENTER THE GREEN GOBLIN" . I do however think The Goblin formula may have been the key to Harry making the football team in "Competition" . It might also explain his recent overconfidence characteristic . The side effect might be Rage (since he did show it in this episode when Glory took Kong back .)

Looking back at the episode "Competition" Harry showed sgins of

1. Superhuman strength and durability

2. Great reflexes and agility
 
holy crap this show is the freakin best, i mean the freakin best

Yeah, that's what I think as well. I wonder if it's going to change his attitude towards Peter though.

Well he was both jealous & angry @ Peter when he walked in with his date Mary Jane Watson , Plus Peter stole Harry's popularity spot , With MJ's presence .
