Review: Spider-Man�s arch nemesis The Green Goblin makes his debut here, but it�s not the Green Goblin we�re all used to. No, this show wasn�t allowed to use the comic version from the looks of it so we�re stuck with this original take on the character. In a truly odd twist, this Green Goblin is a good guy, the neighbourhood�s superhero. I�m not sure why one of Spidey�s best enemies was turned face, but I can�t say I care for it.

Another odd thing about The Goblin is his casting. Rino Ramano plays both Spider-Man and The Green Goblin here and doesn�t especially do a great job with either of them. His Spidey often feels like it�s trying too hard to be cool, especially when delivering his embarrassing �Your friendly interplanetary Spider-Man!� The design for The Goblin is actually quite cool. There�s no glider and his face is a little odd, but I thoughts the wings were pretty cool, and allowed for a pretty good fight with Spidey when they were enemies at the beginning of the episode.

Speaking of designs, I don�t actually mind the Unlimited suit too much. I miss the webs on his head, and I think the cape is daft, but it�s not too bad a suit. It�s not as cool as the traditional red and blue suit or even the red and black Spidey suit used in the opening episode, but it�s not terrible by any means. I don�t like it being nanotech though; it�s just un-original and too far out of Spidey�s realm. It also comes from his watch, which made me feel a little embarrassed when watching it, to be honest. There�s some things that one can never get used to, and Spidey�s nanotech is one of them�

There�s not too many utterly stupid moments in this episode, which is probably due to a lack of The Beastials appearing but there is one which simply had me rolling my eyes. When Spidey and The Goblin are fighting robots, The Goblin blinds them with a flash pumpkin bomb. He blinded robots. Which have no eyes, and no nerves

Did anyone actually sit down and watch this show before shipping it out to air?!

Not a truly terrible episode, but if you compare it to Enter The Green Goblin, you�re bound to be utterly disappointed with it. It�s better than the opening 2 part episode, however.
