Animation Damnation: Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man - "Amazing Fantasy"
Added 2025-05-15 10:00:06 +0000 UTCOn this month's Animation Damnation, we're checking out the all-new Disney+ Spidey cartoon, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man!
This month we're chatting about the first episode, "Amazing Fantasy," which first dropped on January 29th of this year. This show's got a really solid animation style, and some really great writing here. How cool is this Doctor Strange appearance? Should this show have been more episodic? Why does the script act like once Peter misses the subway there won't be another train in six-to-ten minutes? And how rad is this Colman Domingo appearance at the end? PLUS: Why couldn't we have gotten Mid-Life Crisis Uncle Ben this time?
Thanks so much for being so awesome and supporting Animation Damnation on Patreon! Please be sure to spread the word! Your support is what keeps this operation going! We know you have a number of choices for pods and we appreciate you spending some time with us!

Just finished watching the 10 episodes, the set ups for season 2 look good and the twist in episode 10 was interesting too. All in all it's an okay series. Spectacular Spiderman is still the best toon though lol

2025-05-21 01:32:13 +0000 UTCThe show does get more interesting after the first few episodes, though I found it a bit lacking by the end. Better than the past two main spiderman cartoons but they need to step up their game in the second season.

2025-05-18 01:42:58 +0000 UTCI’m so tired of spider-man - the story the character the Queens accent bs, the tiring arc, i’m done (and i angrily spit on uncle ben’s tombstone)

2025-05-17 07:28:41 +0000 UTCJust FYI the two recent Spider-Man video games feature a not insignificant amount of Tombstone. Also, those games are just plain amazing

Craig
2025-05-16 10:32:34 +0000 UTCI think the guys' lukewarm response to this series is just due to typical first episode stuff, as the episode does a lot of table setting. I hope Steve sticks with it, I think he'd like the series despite the lack of a shagable Granny Aunt May.

2025-05-16 10:08:47 +0000 UTCMy favorite part about all of it is how annoyed Eric gets at other people's annoyance over it. It always turns into a funny 90 seconds 😅

2025-05-16 02:55:36 +0000 UTCDivorced Uncle Ben getting into slightly scumbaggy adventures would be a comic book line I’d read the hell out of!

Kevin Lynch
2025-05-15 18:24:54 +0000 UTCSteve mentioned “Andor” at the end there. Let me just say, “Andor: Season 2” is peak Star Wars. It’s the best.

2025-05-15 17:09:18 +0000 UTCThis show works even better when you realize this Peter Parker is just Steve Smith from American Dad and Norman Osborn is his Principal Lewis.

2025-05-15 16:23:23 +0000 UTCThe character design (and overall style) of this series is by Leonardo Romero, a fellow Brazilian comic book artist whose work is incredible, his work is worth checking out, he's been doing stuff for both Marvel and DC

2025-05-15 14:54:42 +0000 UTCGlad to hear Andrew liked this. I wasn’t impressed with the first episode but my ten year old wanted to watch more and got hooked after episode 2. The music on this show is great.
