Episode #11 - The Witching Hour


Spider-Man meets The Green Goblin, a villain who uses magic spells as a means of evil!

Review:

Spider-Man�s arch nemesis The Green Goblin is introduced here and unfortunately for fans of the earlier Green Goblin stories, he�s a completely separate character from the comic books. I wasn�t expecting much, as none of the villains even have secret identities in this show, but a little more effort for this villain would�ve been greatly appreciated.

I loved The Green Goblin stories from the 60�s. Before he was foolishly resurrected, The Green Goblin was an outstanding villain, if only because he was part of Peter�s everyday life as Norman Osborn. I would�ve loved to see Osborn here and have Spider-Man fight one of his friends Dad�s but alas, we get a traditional Goblin, y�know, the one that hangs with ghosts and ghouls.

In all fairness, he�s not too bad a villain. His design was one of the show�s better efforts (except the ill-matching boots. They got it right in one shot [see screenshot #4] but the rest had him wearing dark purple boots) and his voice was a perfect fit for this version of the character. Whilst his voice actor was great here, we got a much better performance from him in �To Catch A Spider�.

Not a brilliant episode, but certainly worth 10 minutes of your time.
