Review: The conclusion to the opening isn�t as strong as part one. It wouldn�t have taken much, but I constantly found myself rolling my eyes at this episode, and was genuinely tempted to switch it off on at least 3 occasions. It�s tedious, there�s no other way to describe it. Oh wait, yes there is � it�s stupid. The concept of Spider-Man and a bunch of humans fighting talking animals is utterly retarded and so not Spider-Man like, you really do wonder how Marvel could shamelessly sell out their most popular character like this.

Spider-Man works best as a relatable hero - A superhero trying to maintain some resemblance of a normal life as he lives with the responsibility that comes with his powers. Whether he is at school, college or work being Spider-Man is the thing that always gets in Peter�s way and ultimately leads to him screwing up. None of that is found in this series. Peter Parker can�t be found in this series. His supporting cast isn�t interesting, and he�s on an alien world battling talking action figure rejects. This isn�t Spider-Man, its manufactured drivel designed to tell toys without the slightest thought gone into the character. It�s hard to watch and enjoy a show when you�re favourite character is utterly butchered � made into nothing more than some marketing losers idea of a toy line.

And yes, this episode did suck. Badly too. Let�s see if the counter Earth versions of Spider-Man�s classic rouges gallery fair better�
