Spider-Man

Spider-Man

While fans breathlessly await the fate of the computer-animated New Adventures of Spider-Man (it remains in limbo after being dropped by MTV in 2003), they can enjoy all 13 episodes of its first season on this two-disc set, which includes a wealth of extras. Mainframe Entertainment (which created the cult Saturday morning series ReBoot) and writer/executive producer Brian Michael Bendis (the Ultimate Spider-Man comic) give the venerable story a spin by placing Peter Parker (voiced by Neil Patrick Harris) in college alongside pal Harry Osborn (Ian Ziering) and longtime crush Mary Jane Watson (singer Lisa Loeb). As usual, Parker/Spidey must conceal his secret identity while wrangling a host of foes, which are a mix of ones drawn from the comic book (The Lizard, Kraven the Hunter) and brand new enemies (Talon, voiced by rapper Eve). Spider-Man fans seem firmly divided into "for" and "against" camps over the animation, which beautifully captures Spidey's web-slinging, but often looks awkward when depicting everyday movement. Die-hard series viewers and Spider-Man/Marvel collectors in general will be pleased by the set, which includes behind-the-scenes featurettes and commentary by the creators. --Paul Gaita

J. Jonah Jameson:
Spider-Man. And the Green Goblin. "The Green Goblin." You like that?

Peter:
Mr. Jameson–

Jameson:
Made it up myself. These weirdos all got to have a name now.

Peter:
Mr. Jameson, Spider-Man–

Jameson:
[picks up phone] Hoffman!

Hoffman:
Yeah?

Jameson:
[sees Hoffman in the office, and hangs up the phone.] Call the patent office, copyright the name "Green Goblin". I want a quarter every time somebody says it.

Hoffman:
How about "Green Meanie"? [Jameson makes a "get out" hand gesture]

Peter:
Spider-Man wasn't attacking the city, he was trying to save it. That's slander.

Jameson:
It is not. I resent that. Slander is spoken. In print, it's libel.

Peter Parker:
You don't trust anybody, that's your problem.

Jameson:
I trust my barber. What are you, his lawyer? Get outta here. [throws his cigar out the window] Let him sue me, get rich like a normal person. That's what makes this country– (Huh?) [his cigar is thrown back in the window, lands in from of him, and the Green Goblin bursts through the The Daily Bugle window] (What the–?!)

Green Goblin:
[grabbing Jameson by the throat] Jameson, you slime! Who's the photographer who takes the pictures of Spider-Man?

Jameson:
I don't know who he is! His stuff comes in the mail!

Green Goblin:
You're lying!

Jameson:
I swear!

Green Goblin:
He's the one who can take me to him!

Jameson:
I don't know who he is!

Green Goblin:
[preparing to punch Jameson] You are useless, you--

Spider-Man:
[appears upside-down outside the window] Set him down, tough guy.

Green Goblin:
[drops Jameson and turns around on the glider] Speak of the Devil!

Jameson:
Spider-Man! I knew you two were in this together! I--

Spider-Man:
[uses his web to seal Jameson's mouth shut] Hey, kiddo, let Mom and Dad talk for a minute, will ya?

Green Goblin:
[uses sleep gas] Sleep!

[As the Green Goblin throws Spider-Man through the building, Spider-Man swings through the window, and crashes to the wall. A pumpkin bomb is thrown in front of Spider-Man's face; it explodes, and blows Spider-Man through the brick wall, and knocking him to the ground. The Green Goblin hops off his glider.]

Green Goblin:
Misery, misery, misery, that's what you've chosen. I offered you friendship, and you spat in my face. [The Green Goblin beats Spider-Man up, until he kicks Spider-Man to the wall. Just as Spider-Man is about to shoot his web, the Green Goblin stops him.] You've spun your last web, Spider-Man. Had you not been so selfish, your little girlfriend's death would have been quick and painless. But now that you've really pissed me off… [sinisterly] ...I'm gonna finish her, nice and slow. [Spider-Man gets furious.] M.J. and I... We're gonna have a hell of a time! [The Green Goblin lunges his trident to stab Spider-Man, but Spider-Man stops it, and the Green Goblin flies backwards to another brick wall. Spider-Man crushes the Green Goblin with it. The Green Goblin gets up, and Spider-Man beats him up] Peter, stop! Stop! It's me. [takes off his mask, revealing Norman Osborn]

Peter:
Mr. Osborn.

Norman:
Peter, thank God for you.

Peter:
You killed those people on that balcony.

Norman:
The Goblin killed them, I had nothing to do with it! Don't–don't let him take me again. I beg you, protect me!

Peter:
You tried to kill Aunt May. You tried to kill Mary Jane.

Norman:
But not you. I've tried to stop it, but I couldn't stop it. I would never hurt you. [As Norman speaks, his Green Goblin persona presses the button on his suit, and his glider rises behind Peter.] I knew from the beginning. If anything ever happened to me, i–it was you that I could count on. You, Peter Parker, would save me, and so you have. Thank God for you. [Norman stands up] Give me your hand. Believe in me, as I believed in you. I've been like a father to you. Be a son to me now.

Peter:
I have a father. His name was Ben Parker.

Green Goblin:
Godspeed, Spider-Man.

[warned by his spider sense, Peter flips just as the Green Goblin's glider was about to impale him.]

Norman:
Oh, No. [gets impaled by his own glider, and groans in pain and blood loss] [last words; weakly] Peter... don't tell Harry. [Norman collapses and dies, and Peter lowers his head down.]

[Peter Parker taking the stairs to the wrestling arena. Watches Bone Saw McGraw fighting the soldier man.]

Wrestling Referee:

Ring Announcer:

[The crowd boos, Peter is went to the Check-in station.]

Check-In Girl:

Spider-Man:

Check-In Girl:
Okay. You understand the NYWL is not responsible for any injury you may and probably will sustain while participating in said event and you are indeed participating of your own free will?

Spider-Man:

Bone Saw McGraw:

Wrestling Referee:

Bone Saw McGraw:

Ring Announcer:

Bone Saw McGraw:
[Gives the microphone.] Bone Saw is ready!

Ring Announcer:
Will the next victim please enter the arena at this time? If he can withstand just three minutes in the cage with Bone Saw McGraw the sum of $3000 will be paid to... [turn off microphone] What's your name, kid?

Spider-Man:

Ring Announcer:
The Human Spider? That's it. That's the best you got?

Spider-Man:

[The crowd throws the popcorn to Spider-Man]

Bone Saw's Bodyguard #4:

The Flying Dutchman:
Oh, my God! Oh, my legs! Oh, God. I can't feel my legs.

Crowd:
[Chanting] KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL! KILL!

[Spider-Man enters the ring. The cage starts to come down.]

Crowd:
[Chanting] CAGE! CAGE! CAGE! CAGE! CAGE!

Spider-Man:
Hello? Guys?

Ring Announcer:
Will the guards please lock the cage doors at this time?

[The guard lock the doors.]

Spider-Man:
Hey listen! This is some kind of mistake. I didn't sign up for a cage match! Unlock the thing! Take the chain off!

Bone Saw McGraw:
[To Spider-Man] Hey, freak show! You're going nowhere. I got you for three minutes. Three minutes of playtime.

[Then bell starts, Bone Saw running and Spider-Man jumps up.]

Bone Saw McGraw:
What are you doing up there?

Spider-Man:
Staying away from you. That's a cute outfit. Did your husband give it to you?

[Bone Saw jumps up and Spider-Man jumps down, using the Web-Slinger to avoid Bone Saw McGraw.]
