But what’s funny about the entire situation is how Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is, in fact, one of those “woke” shows you’re always hearing culturally conservative types harp on about. It celebrates multiculturalism by treating diversity as a simple fact of the world Peter Parker exists in.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man premiered on Disney+ on January 29, 2025, and has already aired five episodes. The show is an animated retelling of Spider-Man’s origin story.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episodes 3, 4, and 5 are finally out and they bring in even more easter eggs and references for fans to explore, making the storyline a lot more interesting and fun.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man showrunner Jeff Trammell has addressed the decision to have Harry Osborn learn the web-slinger's secret identity in episode 4 and what that could mean moving forward.

Unfortunately, because everyone is so dang interesting, the character who ends up being the least compelling is Peter Parker himself. [ Ed. note: This post contains some spoilers for the latest episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.]

The animated Disney+ series makes a bold change to Spidey’s MCU story and the result is a series that’s fun and smart with a hint of genuine danger.

Disney+’s Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episode 5 has finally introduced Doc Ock, aka Otto Octavius, to the mix. Voiced by Hugh Dancy, the evil genius is revealed to be the mastermind who supplied futuristic inventions to criminals across New York City.

When it comes to Marvel Cinematic Universe lore, few things have been more impactful than Captain America: Civil War, which signaled a seismic shift in the MCU’s future by introducing characters and moments Marvel fans still gush about.
