One thing that I’ll always think is a massive downgrade from Arkham is how you enter set pieces. In Spider-Man you arrive, the screen fades to black, and the set piece is set up. In Arkham you can spot a predator area and swoop down to it however you want. Feels like the world is happening without you and you as the hero are intervening rather than just loading the next level.

Worried we stepped on a rake somewhere!

Nothing bad, it's a great episode! But it reminded me of the meme about the exaggerated swagger of a black teen.

What'd we do?

Beautiful, presented with the understated swagger of white early middleagers!

This game was a great time. I think this version of The Prowler is much better than the OG comci but just falls short of into the spider-verse. The comics version was always way too harsh of a person/relationship to miles for me. It didn't have enough love. Felt very 1 note, atypical abusive family member, i think the layers this game and the movie added were very much additive.

Agreed.

I do find calling them both Spider Man confusing. It makes sense in Spiderverse because Parker is dead and he's the "new" Spider Man, but here it is a little awkward sounding. Also, why can no one write for him other than the movies?

Yeah, it's hard to tell if it was the movie or game that did it, but it's a bummer. His dad is definitely a good one in the comics. -GB

Great episode as always. Weird side-note: I never liked the retcon of Jefferson being a cop. He wasn’t in the original comic. In fact, I always read him more as a Malcom X-type character. I think that retcon has its origin in this game and was then brought to the movie and comics.
