Skye Reynolds 01/16/20 11:15:11 AM #1:	The writing focus was on relationships. Aunt May loves her nephew, but fears Spider-Man. Flash antagonizes Peter Parker despite viewing Spider-Man as a kind of celebrity. J. Jonah Jameson meets Peter with contempt and Spider-Man with sheer hatred. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WueP7TJrxzg Every character in the story has an opinion on Peter and an opinion on Spider-Man. It makes the characters feel more real for lack of a better term. And it keeps a central focus on the Peter/Spider-Man connection even if most of the cast is unaware of the connection. On an unrelated note, I'd forgotten how the first season tried to push Felecia Harding as the love interest. There's even concept art of her as the main girl in the show's closing credits. Mary Jane Watson didn't appear until the final scene of the final season one episode and Gwen Stacy ~~appeared only in a cameo as a lover in an alternate universe.~~ <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:933018190] in WatchCultu...

Skye Reynolds 01/16/20 11:22:33 AM #3:	I was talking about the cartoon. I had a subscription during the clone saga. It wasn't great. <_< The cartoon itself even took a dig at it with the episode title, I Really, Really Hate Clones. And the Spider-Man ride at Universal takes another dig by having a theater marquee destroyed which reads The Clone Saga. <cite>Skye Reynolds posted [p:933018618] in WatchCultu...
