I got these for my son who's really into Spider-man lately and I am impressed. Each episode seems to be very well done so far. The wrting seems great and the action sequences are very well thought out and quick paced. Spidey is VERY animated..lots of quick uses of webs, jumps, etc etc.
What I really enjoyed was the episode with Dr. Conners and his transformation into the lizard man. This is what the third movie SHOULD have been.
Here is a summary of that episode (forgive any inaccuracies..I watched it with 2 young, excited kids):
Things are looking up for Peter. He has a job working with Dr. Conners and his wife doing research. He reassures Aunt May that things are looking up for them as she is looking through her unpaid bills. Meanwhile Dr. Conners tries out his serum to add lizard DNA to his body so he can regrow his missing arm. At first it works..but scales start to show up and he eventually transforms into the lizard man. During the transformation Dr. Conners, his wife, peter and Gwen Stacey work frantically to find a cure before it's too late. Dr. Conners young son is very scared his dad won't love him any more as he read about lizards abandoning their young.
Once the lizard man is on the loose in New York peter realizes he has to abandon the research to cure Dr. Conners so he can stop the lizard man from hurting anyone. Spidey has a battle at the zoo and is losing, but figures out that cold will slow him down enough to give him the new antidote. Eddie Brock (I think it was Eddie) helps Spidey by being bait as Spidey prepares the trap (and encloses the polar bears). Before the cure is given, Dr. Conners' son tries to stop the lizard man by trying to connect with his father, but it didn't work. Finally Spidey gives him the cure and Dr. Conners turns back into a human.
Back at the school/lab they discuss the genetic cleanse that cured Dr. Conners and Peter is all too aware that it would "cure" him too. They then see the Daily Bugle with pictures of Spidey fighting the lizard man, that were taken by Peter Parker. They are all very disappointed in Peter for abandoning the research to save Dr. Conners to run off and get pictures (of course he really ran off to save people from getting hurt as Spidey). They fire Peter from being part of the research team and Peter leaves upset. A web from above snatches another antidote that would cure Peter.
Back home Peter considers taking the genetic cleanse, but then looks at pictures of Dr. Conners and his family..happy to be back to normal. He decides that if he weren't Spider-man they would not have been saved so he decides not to cure himself....but he hides the antidote in a web under his desk...just in case.
Sorry for being so long winded. Just wondering if anyone else had enjoyed these as much as we are?
