I don't believe that they will destroy this show, at least I hope so... this show proved better than anyone expected. The continuity of the episodes fascinates me, and I really expect great success for this show, I am looking forward to great sagas from the comics to be visualized and many villains to appear.

Thanks, I thought I read earlier that there will be 24. :csad:
It would be great if they intertwined the Sinister Six with the Black Spidey, the only sensible way how he would defeat all of them at once, and after that for the Season Finale... Venom! I also hope for the Season 2 Finale they plan Green Goblin and the Hobgoblin.
 
Since it seems that there will be three DVDs for this series, for the different arcs, which the episodes are 1-5, then 6-9, then 10-13, it could be showing episodes in that kind of way..."Survival of the Fittest" thru "Competition", and then "The Invisible Hand" thru "The Uncertainty Principle" and then "Persona" thru "Nature vs. Nurture".

You have a point, IamProdigy, but I'm not 100% sure that is it.
 
I'm looking forward to Spidey taking on the Rhino, I wonder how that's going to turn out. Also, I can't wait to see what other plots unfold next episode. It's a shame it wont be airing next week.

I completely agree! I also can't wait to see how Peter asks Gwen to go to the fall formal if he does ask her. :up:
 
I hope this episode will show his strength more, considering he'll have to go toe-to-toe with Rhino.
 
Rhino is probably thrice as strong as Spidey. His spider-strength will be damn-near useless.
 
his spidey strength has been damn near useless so far against every villain... he's used agility, speed and cunning to beat his opponents in most of these...

I wonder if the big man is Kingpin?

I used to think that...
but Rhino was easily taken by Deadpool in C&D series...and Deadpool's strenght is inferior to Spidey's...or so I think.
so I don't know...

For the last time big man is not the kingpin. Currently kingpin falls under the daredevil license which fox currently owns. And greg has stated many times he cannot use the kingpin. Big man is an actual comics character from the early era of spiderman and predated kingpin by 10 yrs or more. Here is big man's bio:

After his return from prison, Foswell's most distinguishing features were a pencil-thin mustache and a bow tie.

Background

Frederick Foswell was a short, slight, timid reporter for the Daily Bugle. Tired of playing the fool for J. Jonah Jameson, he used his reporter's skills and contacts to join with the Enforcers (Montana, Ox and Fancy Dan) and unite all of the mobs of New York. He wore built-up shoes and a padded jacket to disguise his identity. Even Spider-Man never truly suspected who the Big Man really was. But it was Spider-Man's intervention that resulted in the police discovering Foswell's secret.
Foswell never became the Big Man again. Upon his return from prison, he was rehired by J. Jonah Jameson. Initially suspected by Spider-Man of being either the Green Goblin or the Crime Master, Foswell was actually frequenting underworld hang-outs disguised as the stoolie known as Patch. (He wore a full-head mask of a man with a patch over his left eye.) In his capacity as reporter and stoolie, Foswell figured out the Crime Master's identity and tipped the police, ultimately resulting in the Crime Master's fatal shootout. He also worked with police against a cat burglar and tried to help Spider-Man discover the identity of the Master Planner. He became the Daily Bugle's best reporter. Spidey even began tipping Foswell off to his fights.
Later, Foswell achieved prominence when it was revealed that he was the cellmate of Mendel Stromm in prison and when, as Patch, he was the first one to discover that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. (Unfortunately for him, he also became the first person to fall for the fake conversation between Peter and Spidey, with a web dummy web-slinging away, thereby becoming the first person to believe that Parker and Spider-Man had a working relationship with the news photos.)
In his final appearances, when it seemed that Spider-Man had quit and the Kingpin of crime was reorganizing the underworld, Foswell reverted to his old ways. He first tried to take the Kingpin's place but failed. He settled for being his first lieutenant instead. But, at the end, when the Kingpin's men were trying to kill J. Jonah Jameson, Foswell could not let any harm come to the man who had trusted him after his time in prison and given him a job. Protecting Jameson, Foswell was gunned down by the Kingpin's men... dying a hero. The Big Man made one other appearance when Janice Foswell, Frederick's daughter took over the role. She was killed by her fiance, the new Crime Master. No one has worn the garb of the Big Man since.

Yeah, but if Spidey's able to dodge Rhino, he can still hit him and/or throw him. I mean it won't hurt that much, but it should still effect him.

It's called poor writing. Deadpool can't beat Rhino no more than Wolverine can beat the Hulk.

Not if he gets a hold of Rhino. Also, Spidey could defeat Rhino mainly because of his acrobatics and quickness, so I think we will see that adapted into this show. :up:
 
yea we just have to wait and see how he handles rhino and how he will defeat him in the end.
