    He can't feel anything with that arm/hand though.

    Plus it's not just that he wants his arm back, it's a huge scientific breakthrough that could help a whole lot of people and he's using himself as a human trial.

    But why give him a robotic hand!? I find it more powerful that he has no arm at all.

    It would be like if Professor X just walked around all the time on robot legs.

    It's pointless.

    It's not a robotic arm, is it? I got the impression it was just your average prosthetic, only metallic for the viewer or something.

    I mean he had to shake Peter's hand with his left, so it doesn't seem usable.

    There is such a thing as a half-rhyme. We learned about them in school.

    "In the speed of time" is silly though.

    I dunno, I've seen some pretty tall hedges in my time. Twelve, eleven feet tall and quite wide. I mean you'd need some sort of powers to jump those kinds of hedges.

    Living on the edge fighting crime spinning webs
    swinging from the highest ledge he can leap above our heads

    the instrumental parts are great though.

    Both "The Batman" themes are better than this one,but I still like this.

    Thinking about making a ringtone out of the last instrumental bit and the "spectacular spectacular spiderman". for when my friend calls me.

    "The speed of time" is hilarious though. And deep. I mean,it makes you think. How fast IS time?

    So yesterday's episode was alright. Started really not so good, the jump from "This arm thing is awesome" to "we know exactly what's wrong and how to cure it" felt really off. Pacing issues.

    It got pretty good after that, though. Better than the first two episodes, I thought. The last couple scenes were really good.

    I like the angle they're using with Brock being really likable and something of a hero, and having everyone turn against Pete instead of just dismissing his absence.

    I really liked what they did with Lizard. He kicked the shit out of Spidey, and all he could do was subdue him.

    Also, making Eddie a likeable dude is going to pay of so well if they handle Venom right. I didn't expect Pete to get fired.

    Yeah, great episode. The fights were especially spidey-y and great.

    Also: "Spider-man!" "Yeah,I get that reaction a lot...."
    then: "HUUUUH!!!" "Yeah, I get that reaction a lot too...."

    This is way too similar to the Teen Green Arrow bullshit on Smallville.

    edit:

    I mean since when the fuck do we need to turn super-heroes into teenagers to get kids interested? Just pick a hero who is ALREADY young. You can't just fucking retro-fit this shit. This is like if they made Teen Batman (or Batteen as the case may be) or like some series where Bruce Banner goes to high school but has to hide his embarrassing, green alter-ego by pretending he's a foreign exchange student that lives at his house.
