Review: The Green Goblin returns and discovers Spider-Man’s secret identity! Don’t get your hopes up though gentle readers, Turning Point this isn’t, even if The Goblin discovers his identity in almost the exact same way. One does wonder why Peter’s Spider Sense didn’t go off though…

Peter’s life with Yioko and Shane isn’t really all that interesting. It does give him an excuse not to be Spider-Man all the time, but it does get a little tedious especially as Shane is pretty annoying, like most kids are in cartoons. Worst still, his design has this one hair out of place in his Afro, and Jesus, is it annoying. It just dangles there… highly irritating.

The somewhat interesting story of Goblin knowing Peter’s identity is quickly tossed aside and forgotten about as we get more Beastials nonsense, and more of The High Evolutionary talking out his backside about humans being waste, yada yada yada, we’ve heard it all before. Several times at this point in the series.

One of the more interesting things is Spider-Man has finally found his ship and is heading to Atlanta City in an attempt to get home. It’s not really built up as an emergency, there’s no real emotion behind his plight to get home and it’s lost among the mess of Beastials again. The show has potential, but it’s too wrapped up in this nonsense with The Beastials to notice it. We’ve yet to have a single episode that constantly delivers throughout. Hell, I’d settle for a decent ***1/2 star episode right now, this show is averaging out at ** and **1/2.

At least it ends soon!
