3 new eps.
Tombstone is basically a hood movie protagonist LOL.
Big Ben Donovan was renamed Big Don because that name already appeared in Luke Cage.
The Russians are Unicorn, Rhino and Chameleon…the pink haired one isn’t clear, might be Songbird.
I love the classic Ock look.
I feel like they’ve done the whole “villains of the week are a primitive tech based version getting powers from the same source” a hundred times (Smallville, My adventures with Superman, Spiderman 2017, etc)

This aint't woke?
This show is the epitome of woke!

Black Writer/Show Runner - Jeff Tramell

Asian (multiple countries and diff genders and orientations)
Balance between male and female characters
Differentlly Abled
Multiple Black Hairstyles!!
Everybody and their brother living in the same hood
Multi-cultural criminals and victims

I'm not sure how they could make it more work TBH.

I like the ALL CAPS x Spiderverse art style.

Peter is a bit nerdier in this incarnation....

Story, minus the jock getting caught up in a gang, is going well so far.

Just saw the latest three episodes and I'm liking this series a lot. I don't know much about NYC, but I've heard people say that the part of Queens that Peter is from is more diverse than the movies and former animated series' depict. This show shows a much more diverse, and according to those familiar with the era. a more realistic depiction of that neighborhood's demographics.

Marvel is continuously leeching off of Miles in Pete's modern adaptations, like DC leeches off of Wally in modern interpretations of Barry Allen. The MCU Pete is a hybrid of comic Miles and Pete, and this series borrows from Miles as well (Asian best friend, multiple people knowing his secret identity early on, his suit being given to him).

Haven't watched the show yet but as a New Yorker I get surprised at how diverse Queens is.

You can be on one block and see all Mexicans, two block further it's Indian, four blocks more it's Greek, etc.

The other boroughs will have large areas of the main ethnic groups (white, black, Rican, Dominican, Chinese) but Queens will pockets of smaller ethnic groups like Brazilians, Ecuadorians, Chileans, Philippinos, etc.

If they're doing anything Spiderman related it needs to reflect that especially since Peter isn't some rich kid in a suburban part of the borough.

Just watched the latest three eps. This has the most neighborhood feel out of all the spider man cartoons. It’s doing pretty well balancing all the threads too. I like how the MCU events are back drops to Peter’s smaller adventures as well.
