Spider-Man: The Animated Series Season 5 Episode 13

I'll admit I was sad to see the show go, but in all honesty I wasn't sure where else it could of gone. Unless they based the next season or two on the time both Peter and Mary Jane are married. But anyway Spiderman in this show has spun his last web and it's time for him to go.





This episode is obviously a little inspired by DC Comics graphic novel "Crisis on Infinate Earths" but I think it's a great take on it. And everything else in the episode was great the fights but most of all the drama.





My favorate part of the episode was seeing Peter Parker/Spiderman go to the Metal Spiderman's world and it really looked like a fun place to live. Yeah there is the bad which is MJ in that world doesn't know him and is kinda cold, and the Metal Spiderman in that world obviously is a bit of an egotist due to his fame. However there are great things about that world, one of them that is my favorate is Gwen Stacy. I loved how the show handled her I felt she was better than her predecessor, for one thing she's hot, but most of all is feminine, feisty and smart which makes her not useless. From the things she said I belived Peter/Spidey could of married her if it was the other way around. But best of all Uncle Ben, I really loved that interaction Peter/Spiderman had with him it was touching and a bit emotional, it's sort of that wish forfillment of that common need to talk with a late loved one one more time and to see who we've become.





And there was that moment with the creator Stan Lee which was practially breaking a fourth wall almost. It could have been played chesey but it was played right, it felt touching in a strange way and was also sort of a wish forfillment fantasy we all have of meeting a superhero in the flesh and just talking with him or her.





The only bad thing about the episode was not seeing the final result in the final minutes of the episode of Peter/Spiderman finding Mary Jane which left me a bit unsatisfied. Though I kinda get the idea that he probably will find Mary Jane. But still it felt like something more was needed in those final minutes, it wouldn't of been hard but oh well.





Well Peter Parker/Spiderman I'm going to miss you and this show, but you've fought your final battle and won and now it's time to swing to your destiny. This show like the superhero has became a legend that will never die.
