I was very skeptical about this show since it was announced. TBH, even its trailer and the lack of hype around it made me almost skip this show, but I am glad I gave it a chance!
I am a big Spider-Man fan, so I have watched or at least know about many different shows, movies, and comics about Spider-Man. Trust me when I say the show gets better after the first two episodes.
I like their decision not to make this show feature in the main MCU timeline, so we are getting many unexpected and less popular characters from the Spider-Man stories!
I just finished all ten episodes, and I absolutely enjoyed this show. The episodes surprisingly felt like a breath of fresh air. There was something exciting in each episode, and the fact that they released the entire season in sets of two or three episodes per week was a good decision. Other shows, especially superhero-related shows, should release episodes like this, IMO.
Though I am praising this show, there are a few things that some people may not like, or this show might not feel enjoyable to them, but this is a different take on the same character we all know and love. With MCU having the rights to almost all of their crucial characters, I am glad they are using them all without messing with the main timeline.
The animation style is not something I really liked, but I got used to it after some time. Though they have made some changes to a few characters' origins and appearances, I feel it is more like the Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse decision, where they are basically just considering a different timeline than the most common one.
I am excited about the next season, and I just hope they do not make fans wait too long. I recommend you give this a shot, but if you do, please watch more than three episodes.
