"First Steps" Season 2: Episode 18 Discussion Thread

[Anwar]

Yeah, just like there's the meme of "With great power come great insanity".

Or the Simpsons variant: With great power comes even GREATER irresponsibility.

 

[Pirate Queen]

Man. This cold must be getting to me- I totally forgot there was a new episode yesterday!

Watched it, loved it. Sandman has, for some reason, always been a favorite baddie of mine. The fact that he's being voiced by John DiMaggio makes it even more awesome. Wonderful fight scenes, wonderful character and story development. My only nitpick is Eddie Brock. Give him another flavor other than low-voiced sadism. It worked the first time when he snapped, but having him constantly subtly hint his plans to oblivious people in an over-the-top villainous growl is getting a little old. Maybe it's just me.

 

[The Caped Knight]

This episode lived up to the series title name , It was a spectacular episode with tons of homages, Nods, foreshadowing , Great fighting scenes from Spider-Man vs. Sandman .

 

[Doctor Jones]

The only thing that bugged me was the too much expressive animation. It was a bit too much. Plus, it could of been the quality, but the picture seemed different and darker than the previous entries.

 

[Ratcrawler]

The expressiveness didn't bug me at all. In fact, it probably meant that this episode got a higher animation budget than most. Not surprising considering all that Mega-Sandman insanity.

 

[The Joker]

The biggest irritant in this episode was Sally Avril.

Awfully annoying character.

 

[Webhead2006]

everyone hates that girl even rand.

 

[Ratcrawler]

Dude, I love Sally. I normally hate the shallow, pretty, popular, bully girls, but she's actually pretty developed as far as stereotypes go. She lives by the rules of high school social heirarchy and delivers some golden lines based on that. "See Glory, you're SO selfish! Everybody knows you don't dump the guy with the limo--no offense, Kenny-- until AFTER the dance!" Brilliant! Most girls of that calibre just tell a lame insult to the dorky girl while their hench-harpies laugh forcefully. I'm looking forward to that ep where Pete & Sally are trapped in a cop car. Should make for some hilarious tension.

I agree! I enjoy Sally's character. I mean, she may complain and be annoying from time to time, but it's just funny. I also can't wait until both Sally and Peter are in the police car. Speaking of that, why are they in a police car? Arrested?

 

[Ratcrawler]

Not sure. But Sally's due for some kind of personal growth. Maybe she loses her voice! LOL

 

[Anwar]

Well, whatever happens it'll be less extreme then what happened to her in the comics (getting killed by pretending to be a superhero).

 

[CaptainCanada]

Sally's hilarious. Half the time I can't figure out why Randy dates her, and in the video bit in this issue you can see him wondering the same thing.

I particularly loved her protesting to Liz: "Lizzie, I won't let you do this!"

 

[Spiderine]

She doesn't really bother me one way or another. She serves her purpose which is to hurl insults at Peter and the uncool kids. I think we will see more development in her character when they are in that police car.

It's getting apparent that even her own group of friends don't really like it that much. Rand looked like headache veins were going to start bulging out of his head the whole episode.

Don't blame him.

She's as blonde as they come.

 

[Spiderine]

Randy has always looked like she was getting on his nerves. That episode where he was concerned for John Jameson he was kind of pissed at her being disrespectful and not caring.

 

[Jick]

everyone hates that girl even rand.

lol
That's true.

 

[Duskbyday]

At the beginning Pete was talking about his ex-best friend. Was that Flash or Eddie he was talking about.

Peter is talking about Flash; the party is being videoed by Flash's mother and each of the characters are talking about him. At the start there is a question about who Peter is talking about but once you see the subsequent interviews with the party-goers it's quite easy to work out.

 

[Anwar]

When I first saw that happening I wondered if it was supposed to be a spoof of those video clips you see in Reality TV shows.

 

[November Rain]

sally and rand are the best couple on the show, i'd happily watch a series about just the two of them

infact screw over the whole spiderman angle, a season just on the high school dynamic would be awesome enough

 

[Doctor Jones]

I always thought they should do a Breakfast Club kinda episode.

Peter, MJ, Gwen, Harry, Flash, Sally, Randy al together in one room.

Maybe there's alot of trouble happening but Peter has to decide to sneek away or stay here where he's miserable.

 

[November Rain]

did anyone else find flash's mom to be pretty hot?

 

[kguillou]

Flash's mom looked and sounded alot like Mary Jane. Maybe MJ's come back from the future to warn peter not to make deals with the devil....lol

 

[Nathan]

Good episode. But I have to wonder about one thing. Where the heck did Eddie get the webline from? Does he suddenly have web-shooters?
