Spider-Man accidentally gives Captain America’s shield to the most dangerous man in the world, and Glitterjaw’s own Merrilee (Fear Coded) steps in to break it down. We dig into the extremely brief Aliens homage at the start, get a lesson in the make-up of Captain America’s shield, and try desperately to figure out exactly which lesson we’re supposed to take away from this story.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 23: “Not a Toy”.

There are only a few episodes of Spider-Woman left, and Glitterjaw’s own Katie (Novel Gaming) joins Doug to break down this time travel tale! Unsurprisingly, we create a rich backstory for another pre-90s one-off animated supervillain icon, do our best to unravel Spider-Woman’s time travel mechanics, and pose the question: what if the Wookiees-not-Wookiees were actually correct to invade the futuristic Domed City of Peace?

We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 14: “A Crime in Time”.

Doc Ock is back, and this time he’s more menacing than ever, because he’s got… a huggable robo-cat suit? Glitterjaw’s own David Arnold is back to cover an episode that definitely shouldn’t be anyone’s first, because all the returning players are adults with ongoing capital-D drama. We talk all about Harry’s daddy issues, Spider-Man’s lack of MCU-like daddy issues surrounding Iron Man, and what it would take for us to issue a daddy card to this Otto Octavius.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 22: “The Iron Octopus”.

Mary Jane Watson writes a Spider-Man musical for Midtown High, and Flash is the star! Glitterjaw’s own David Arnold steps in to break down Ultimate Spider-Man’s version of the classic “Flash Thompson gets mistaken for Spider-Man” tale. We talk about how this episode handles its in medias res opening, how to build a mid-season episode that could be anyone’s first, and how this show managed to tell a story that involves two teenaged boys sharing a spandex suit in the context of musical theater without being homophobic even once!

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 21: “I Am Spider-Man”.

Spider-Man is turned into a Spider-Ham thanks to a magic hot dog, and is chased by boar-killing Asgardian hunters in a game with Thor and Loki… and somehow, none of it is as weird and wacky as you’d expect! We talk about the ways this show sometimes chooses safer narrative options despite being a comedy, and also dig into the Phil Coulson hype of the early MCU.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 20: “Run Pig Run”.

Spider-Woman faces a nude magician adorned in KISS makeup who’s stealing all the world’s landmarks and ransoming them for (Dr. Evil voice) TEN BILLION DOLLARS! We’re talking about one of the zaniest episodes of one of our favorite Spider-shows, which features surrealist booby traps in a haunted house, an Incredible Shrinking Hero (kind of), wildly fluid animated moments, and Spider-Woman’s own personal Mysterio.

We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 13: “The Great Magini”.

Peter has to juggle taking care of a sick Hulk and an injured Aunt May in one house without jeopardizing his secret identity! Sounds like a great premise for a high-concept episode…until it keeps going and becomes something totally different. We talk about why the need to be a half-hour action show hinders what could be a straightforward comedic gem.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 19: “Home Sick Hulk”.

A story spotlighting Damage Control and superhero property destruction is a great idea! Unfortunately, just like all the comically collapsing buildings, this episode falls apart. We talk about a shrinking subplot that goes nowhere, an underwhelming mystery, why Wrecking Crew could take lessons from tokusatsu teams, and how the comedy and morality lessons of the episode clash.

We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 18: “Damage”.
