The first rections has surfaced for Marvel’s upcpoming animated series Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, and it seems “Marvel Has Outdone Itself’.
All of the reactions that I’ve come across have been super positive and ciritics and fans are loving what this show delivers! It’s described as a “Total Blast!”, “a Must See”. “Amazing”, “Spectacular”, “Fresh”, “Fun”, and more!
This is exciting to hear! I’ve liked what I’ve seen from the series in the trailers that have been released and I’ve been looking forward to watching the show, so I’m happy to see that it’s going to deliver somehtng that fans are going to enjoy!
The series follows Peter Parker and his journey to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU. It’s set in an alternate timeline, where the webslinger’s origin story features a mentorship by Norman Osborn (of Oscorp fame), the alter ego to bitter enemy Green Goblin, instead of Tony Stark.
Check out the reaction below!
#YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan is a total blast! A really well told story with fully fleshed out character arcs, great villains, and spectacular action throughout. It offers a fun, albeit classic, twist on the MCU Spidey and will leave you clamoring for more. Bring on S2! pic.twitter.com/BvX1Rs4mfn

#YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan is a Must See for Spider-Man fans. Classic but fresh. Clearly made by Spider-Man fans for Spider-Man fans. SPECTACULAR action, thrills, and more importantly great writing. The animation is kinetic and full of flavour, up there with X-Men ‘97! pic.twitter.com/T7myK3kA0z

I was also pleasantly surprised that #YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan gave off vibes similar to cartoons I watched on Saturday mornings and weekday afternoons as a kid in the 2000s. The series has potential, and I’m curious to see what @MrJeffTrammell and co. do with Season 2. pic.twitter.com/4eCcoNW3eH

I watched all 10 episodes of #YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan and had a blast with it! It feels nostalgic of the classic 90’s animated series I grew up on while using the multiverse to bring fresh visions and perspective to fan-favorite characters. @DisneyPlus @MarvelStudios pic.twitter.com/oFUYcxlKgD

#YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan blends so much of what I love about Ditko art, Toth animation, & teen dramas. Equal parts timeless & uniquely modern. The ensemble cast is so much fun, & Colman Domingo as Norman Osborn is INSPIRED.
I would watch six more seasons immediately. pic.twitter.com/4cbVdql3mJ

#YourFriendlyNeighborhoodSpiderMan is the freshest take we’ve seen on the web-head in…forever? It benefits so much from being free from the constraints of the Sacred Timeline, giving us one of my new favourite adaptations of the character.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is a really good Spidey story.
This take on Peter Parker is authentic and a great combination of comic & MCU lore. Ending eps are AWESOME.
It doesn’t reach the depths of X-Men ’97 but it’s one of Marvel Animations better entries, for sure. pic.twitter.com/RTI62CJ6v5

Marvel’s Head of Animation, Brad Winderbaum, previously talked about the series, saying: “I mean, Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is amazing, to say the least. I think it’s really going to surprise people. It is very much like a cut from that Steve Ditko era of the comics.”
He went on to explain: “It’s Peter Parker back in high school just trying to make it work, take care of his aunt, completely broke, and having to be a superhero.
“It’s so essentially Spider-Man, and what Jeff Trammell, the creator of that show, did, which I think people are going to love, is he built this ensemble of characters around Peter that you fall in love with.”
He added: “Similarly, just because it’s long-form storytelling, as those relationships brew when the stakes rise in that first season, things feel really tragic and dangerous, and pretty incredible. So, I love that show.”
