SSM Observations

[whiplash]

Has anybody noticed that in Nature vs Nurture, Gwen is a sax player in the marching band, but yet she's not participating in any of the band's football games?

Boredom and insomnia can open the eyes. i'm sure there's more continuity errors in the series but that one kinda bugged me. (Pun intended)

Another thing i observed is that in "Shear Strength" Pete's order is #117 and the Satelite that Ock uses is named SSM 117 any signifigance to 117 or Jan 17 other than my bday?

I would guess 117 refers to an issue of sPider-Man, possibly from the Master Planner Arc.

I remember a brilliant throwaway line in Blueprints where Pete was tutoring Liz while complaining about hout how the Bugle was trashing sPidey. He interrupts his train of thought to correct her notes and say "Oh wait, that's subphylum Chelicerata" which, according to Wikipedia, constitutes one of the major subdivisions of the phylum Arthropoda, and includes horseshoe crabs, scorpions, spiders and mites.

^LOL...I thought Peter was speaking in Spanish or something. I never knew it had anything to do with spiders. Nice observation!

 

[Ratcrawler]

Thanks. Also, Sha Shan was seen at the dance in season 1 in Catalysts and Seymore was in the gym scene in Market Forces.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

In "Reinforcement", Sha Shan and St. John Deveraux are in the mall as an elf and Santa Claus.

Seymour O'Reilly can be heard on several of the football games in the series.

very good catchs guys.

Love all the easter eggs in this show!

I found that the SSM Vulture has stuff in common with Mendell Stromm, Norman's business partner he formed OsCorp with. Norman basically cheated both out of their inventions (Stromm's being the Goblin formula) and both came back for revenge. Both used their mechanical skills to build bodysuits to get at Osborn and both are bald elderly scientists (though I think Stromm was only 10 years older than Norman).

Wow, I never thought of that, and I'm in my school's marching band.

I like this thread; you guys notice so much more than I ever would.

 

[SpaceWay2009]

Hm, well, did anyone notice that Gwen's hair is longer? Or how about when Electro fried his street clothes, but then when he showed up at his apartment, his clothes seemed fine? I'm referring to "Interaction."

 

[Silver Spider]

^I noticed that about Gwen's hair. At first I thought I was going crazy until Harry mentioned it in First Steps.

 

[Ratcrawler]

This is probably really obscure, but that blind black flautist at Tombstone's gala who almost got run over at the beginning of Reactions reminded me of Toots from Clone High.



1:37 seconds in, he delivers one of the greatest lines I ever heard in a non SSM cartoon.

 

[whiplash]

stew on this
Pete, Harry, Gwen, Liz, Flash, Kong, Rand, Sally, MJ, Sha-shan, glory, and Hobie are all Juniors
Seymore and Mark are the only KNOWN Seniors. Where's the rest of the school

Just thinkin

 

[Ratcrawler]

Walking around the school in the background.

Tinkerer works for whoever is paying him at the moment. Hes a hired "Gun" so to speak.

Sha Shan was in Blueprints talking with MJ and Gwen when Peter arrives to the school and she and MJ leaves so Gwen can be alone with Peter. Also, when Peter arrives you can hear MJ saying:
"He's just a little confused". She also says that in Shear Strength.

Isn't 117 the episode's production number? Since it's the 17th episode of the series?

I noticed that too.

noticed that too, but she was a "no name character" at that point in time

i believe in gangland greg W was seen again during the part where tombstone was being taken away by the cops and said to hammerhead your fired.

 

[whiplash]

The first words Betty Brant says are "you sent Benny" did she mean her brother?

Also in First steps during Rand and Sally's Video, Rand seems aware of Sally's shallow nature. Might be possible to see them split soon

 

[Ratcrawler]

I was just looking at my autographed SSM poster and noticed something weird. Vanessa Marshall's autograph said "Varshall"

 

[LightningFlash]

Manessa Varshall.

 

[Webhead2006]

she probably wrote it so fast she didnt make the full mark. Must celebs when they do autograph sessions want to get it done fast and quick so not to hurt their hands and they do shorthand writing and all that.

 

[whiplash]

I guess it is a running thing that stormin norman "doesn't apologize". i've seen quite a few times where he says "he doesn't apologize"
