Oh, I would wonder if he can figure out he's in trouble without the spider-sense. The stupid that Spidey is stuck with on this show... it burns.
Yeah, that whole "It's for kidzzz" thing they keep saying is a poor excuse for churning out material of iffy quality. I believe Maurice Sendak said it best: "I don't write for children. I write, and then someone says 'that's for children.'"
lol, your nephew sounds like an awesome kid.
This episode was not awesome, which I guess I should have expected since it's entitled "Awesome".
At least Power Man got to be more than just a guy who hits stuff for a change. And Coulson was great. I loved the way he got between the kids and the android and started jiggling his keys at it. And the end when he sternly pointed two fingers at himself then at Spidey. Too bad letting other characters have a personality usually seems to come at the expense of making Spidey more stupid than he should be.
What happened to the Spidey who had some sense of responsibility? Other versions of Spidey did mess up sometimes, but he wasn't a constant screw-up who created his own mess most of the time. And other versions of Spidey actually felt remorse when he did something he shouldn't have done (and it would strengthen his resolve to do the right thing). This new Spidey is only sorry he got caught. He doesn't even care that he did something wrong, for him it only sucked that he got into trouble, he learned nothing, and he will totally do it again.
I guess this version of Spidey is this way because they're trying to make this a fun ride and not a dreary morality tale. But this is not quite hitting the target for "fun", and more on-point for being "super annoying". It wouldn't be dreary to make him a hero worth rooting for and cheering on. The character of a hero is what makes people fans for life. You don't want to dump a bunch of angsty tragedies on him in this show, fine, I can roll with that. You don't want to make him too saint-like, okay, but there's no good reason to make Spidey's character a moronic brat. How many people really want to root for and cheer on a *****enozzle who acts entitled and smug?
Anyway, Ava smacking Sam on the head with a frozen rose was pretty good. Is Sam/Nova ever going to be anything more than Peter/Spidey's ultimate competition for the spot of most stupid and irresponsible character on the show? If this was a romantic comedy, the way Sam and Ava can't stand each other would mean that they're going to be a couple later.
