1:11:05 I am a security guard, and I can definitely confirm that if I heard something just start beeping, I would take a look at it, and then call it in while I am staring at it to make a good description for my DAR, supervisor, and/or potential incident report. I would not immediately conclude: "Oh this is a lure, I am being tricked!" I would think: "What the heck is that? Did something of ours just break or is at low batteries?" Once I saw it I would think: "Was this always here? I should probably ask my supervisor if this thing is important or not. I don't want to be responsible if something breaks." Because in my mind, what idiot would be dumb enough to try and sneak into a heavily armed and guarded military base? The thought that someone is sneaking around would be one of the last thoughts in my mind. Though, because I don't wear a helmet, I'd probably hear if someone was sneaking around behind me, and I would definitely look around after I reported it just to be sure.

What is truly hilarious is that SK complained about the Kingpin being able to survive Spider-Man’s attacks, and loves to use Raimi’s movies as a point of reference, but just forgot that in Spiderman 2, Doc Ock is just a normal man with mechanical tentacles, and gets beat up and thrown around A LOT. Again he’s a normal human. Shouldn’t he be dead after his first fight at the bank with Spider-Man, according to SK’s logic? Edit: just to continue to point out SK’s utter ignorance and hypocrisy, at 1:12:47 in regards to Colin talk in about Miles, in SK’s rebuttal video, he says that he’s willing to look pass Miles’ mistakes in the game due to his inexperience, because he is fresh as a superhero. But when you watch his spectacular Spider-Man video, he literally criticizes Peter for not being able to do things, but ignores the fact that he is six months in as Spider-Man, and is 16 YEARS OLD.

That “don’t stop to talk” thing is a clear reference to Madvocate and his videos talking about the Flash TV show. A running theme (Haha) in those videos is that he’s tired of Flash stopping to an obviously dangerous criminal and talks to them. The clear difference is that Flash moves faster than the speed of sound and can beat up super villains before they can get a word in, making Flash’s defeats all the more weird. With Spider-Man, he’s nowhere near as fast so him stopping and mocking Shocker was just so Shocker can get frustrated and make more mistakes so Spider-Man can beat him faster. He doesn’t really get why the Madvocate joke works because Flash has no actual reason to stop and talk to someone like Mr Freeze of all people then gets defeated by him. He just uses it to sound like he has a point?

So, Peter wears Herman down as you pointed out. Leading to "guys in masks might not be human".

Fun Fact: In the prequel book to this game called "Hostile Takeover", at one point in the story, Peter's scoping out an event that he believes is going to be attacked by Kingpin's men, it's really a trap to make Spider-man look bad (from what I can remember), and Peter jumps in because he was worried for MJ's safety. Nothing bad happened because nothing bad was going to happen, but Peter charged in and screwed things up because he prioritized MJ above everyone else. This is what leads to their break-up in the story and is almost exactly what happens with Standish in the game Also, Dude criticized Spider-man for "pulling a CW Flash" then demanded he pull a CW Flash by having Peter appeal to Shocker's humanity. Peter's been dealing with Shocker for 8 years, he knows what would work and what wouldn't work, and pointing out the casualties (that never happen because nobody brings it up, not even Jameson when he's ranting about Spider-man. He only brings up the destruction of the chase, not any casualties). He also seems to believe everyone can just pull anything out of their ass. "Fisk should send in a bunch of guards to fight Spider-man because they're clearly all just waiting around in his office. It's not like Spider-man just took down all the guards between the entrance to the building and Fisk's office" "Martin Li should just break all the supervillains out of the Raft on his own b corrupting everyone, it's not like it's been shown that using his powers drains him of energy (especially since he's shared his powers with others and re-absorbs them when he needs an extra boost)" And with the FFH comparison of Peter "trying to weasel out" of a problem, the difference in FFH is that Peter doesn't believe he's up for the task. He's still dealing with the emotional backlash of Infinity War and Endgame and just wants a break, but still steps up in the end when he has to. He's 16 and allowed to have the flaw of not feeling good enough for a task

Isnt that still not Peter's fault cause Kingpin tricked him? He didn't know nothing wss going to happen, he thought that something was so he jumped in. And it makes sense that Peter is overprotective considering all the people he's lost so its still not a justfiable reason to just dump him if he only cares about her safety. I mean in this same prequel novel if I remember correctly Kingpin BLOWS UP a building where Peter's female coworker was at and kills her.

@@no.1spidey-fan182 The bottom line is that Peter fell for the trap because he prioritized MJ. It’s an understandable mistake, but it was the straw that broke the camels back for Peter’s and MJ’s relationship. Throughout the entire story, Peter’s been protective of MJ, telling her not to pursue anything related to Kingpin. While he is understandably right to tell her not to write anything about him because it puts a target on her back, we also have the context of MJ feeling insecure about not being able to help. Both are in the right in their own ways, it’s the miscommunication and certain actions that led to the relationship falling apart. And if I remember correctly, Kingpin didn’t order the restaurant to be blown up, that was the guy pretending to be Spider-man going AWOL (as shown throughout the story) because his mental problems led him to truly believe he was the real Spider-man and his life was stolen by an imposter

Mistakes and incorrect descisions are litterally what makes us human. Flaws in us are supposed to be learned from so we can improve and become better overtime. This is litterally what MJ is going through in this game. She may not be correct every time, she may make stupid mistakes, and she may be too overconfident, but that is a realistic character flaw for her to explore and develop from to improve and become a better person. So I don't know why the hell this man talks down on her this much but it simply makes no sense. This is honestly my favorite version of MJ because it reminds me of *my* flaws which is the purpose of a character. She's honestly well written in this game me personally.

@@WFanatic502 Peter's flaw is understandable, what with him being the costumed crusader with the superpowers and gadgets, allowing him to fight other guys with superpowers and gadgets and understandably thinking a normal human can't. It's a flaw that allows us to sympathize with him, feeling bad for him that he's putting such a burden on himself and feeling happy when he finally relaxes and realizes he's not alone in all this chaos he's in. MJ is a normal human that could easily get hurt or killed by the militant mercs and the crime syndicates, and whose injury and death would put Peter through untold amounts of grief he hasn't felt since Uncle Ben. You CAN'T sympathize with her, because what she's doing is MAD stupid to anyone with a brain and makes her look like a bitch when Spidey does what Spidey does and tries to save her, most notably in a situation where all he sees is her in a dangerous place and a dude holding a gun at her with no context of what's happening inside that room, understandably think the worst and acting accordingly. This isn't a flaw that makes her look good and look better when she gets over it. This is a flaw that makes her look insufferable and elicits an "about damn time" feeling when she does get over something that shouldn't have been there to begin with.

Yeah same. I initially agreed with sk but as the video goes on, I saw how stupid his points are and what MJ's arc was supposed to be.

Also about the statue in the auction house. If I remember correctly how the mission played out, the tour guide opens the door and then gets a phone call from someone else at the Bugle. She finds out that MJ isn’t supposed to be there and is “pissed off” according to MJ. It wouldn’t be unsurprising if she wasn’t thinking straight and forgot to lock the door while yelling at the guy on the phone

I would also like to point out something about SK’s critic about Frisk’s security in a world of superheroes and villains thing: he shows the Rhino, probably the 1 guy in the game who does not give a rat’s ass how tough a security system is, his answer is the same and the result will be the same: running straight through it

My favourite part about him saying the Sinister 6 could’ve killed Peter at the RAFT, is how many times he brings it up and that they should’ve. The Sinister 6 is a revolving door of members. But if we take a look at Spectacular Spider-Man, we have Ock, Shocker, Electro, Sandman, Rhino, and Vulture. A near identical team yet Peter beats them as a group, in a fight, and not separately. Peter in Spectacular Spider-Man has had his powers for less than a year by the time the series ended. I’m pretty sure Peter lost the fight at the top of the RAFT, was because the area they were fighting in was a small roof. And Peter is definitely not going to let 5 of his rogues gallery just go because he retreated. The entire video was a mess. But I love the chaos sometimes and just laugh at how sometimes people can be so wrong. This video was a real treat. Thanks for the content, and you didn’t have to suffer through someone’s baboon brain behaviour of a video. But we appreciate it.

The whole “don’t stop to talk” thing that runs throughout the whole video seems to be from Madvocate’s CW Flash videos, but the difference between CW Flash and Insomniac Spider Man is that CW Flash continues to talk on and on and on to the criminals that by the time he’s ready to fight they sucker punch him, knock him down and get away, Spider Man talks during a fight but at least he talks and fights at the same time instead of having a whole conversation while standing and doing nothing. So I don’t see a reason why he calls out Spider Man talking to criminals because at least he’s also fighting them.

With Fisk fighting Peter it is established that not only Fisk and Peter have fought before, but that at least once, Fisk beat him (in the gallery mission we hear M.J bring up a time Fisk, and I quote "Cut Peter open like a pork sausage." with a sword) so as fat as he is concerned, he has at least a good chance of winning.

Also the whole "oh spiderman kills demons by kicking them out" thing doesnt even apply to realife or whatever either because its shown in the game that whenever someone gets knocked off a building peter attatches a web ball to them that safely sticks them to the wall, so he likely did that to any demon or thug he does stuff like this to in the cutscenes.

To bring up another point on how Martin Li knew that the file was in the statue, Peter mentions to MJ(literally right after the mission) that Li has a degree in art history-specifically Japanese-so knowing that Fisk is in possession of said statue(because Fisk was putting them on display)Martin Li would know exactly what said statue could due and came to simple conclusion.

I feel like people Misunderstand the concept of realism as it pertains to Media, mostly because saying the word realism is an inaccurate description. Usually when people say realism, what they actually mean is consistency. It's unrealistic for somebody to be able to throw a fireball out of their hands, but if that's something that is consistently possible then it's part of the reality of the universe. It's unrealistic for somebody to get hit with a hammer and not have their skull caved in, but if it happens repeatedly then it's just cartoon physics. The whole point of media is that it isn't realistic, even if it is meant to be real. Stories already have a bunch of built-in contrivances that we don't even realize so that you can tell a good story. The real problem is trying to be consistent about it.

Spider-Man and Shocker have clearly crossed paths before this game.

Your arguments for MJ made me realise I was a bit harsh on her too. I was also pretty dumbfounded at her sneaking into a Sable base against Peter's wishes. But like you said "she was able to actually do it so it means she WAS capable".

Another potential reason why the demons break Shocker out is to distract Spider-Man and keep him off their trail longer. The tragically short lived and excellent Spectacular Spider-Man actually has this as a plot point. Tombstone (who was basically Kingpin because the writers didn't have the rights to him) had his henchmen constantly being stopped by Spider-Man and that was cutting into his profits. But Tombstone realized that whenever a super villain was destroying everything he could continue his criminal actions without Spider-Man noticing. Tombstone actually then employs Norman Osborn to make more super villains.

Like I made a comment saying that his criticism about Spider-Man killing people can be chalked up to "it's just a video game and the developers were trying to come up with some cool for the player to enjoy watching." Then that dude's rebuttal was."I am talking about the times Spider-Man kills in a cut scene. It's ok for him to do this stuff in gameplay." And then I basically repeated what I said, emphasizing that whether it is in a cut scene or game play, it still is not showing Spider-Man killing people." If Spider-Man actually killed people, the developers would have shown it, and JJJ would DEFINITELY use that as evidence for why Spider-Man is a menace. But he never talks about Spider-Man killing goons.

Some things can be explained; First - As Spider-Man drags that goon through the window, he smashes it with his feet, not the goons head, and when tossing him, you can see he lands on other goons on his back. Second - The towers were just a gameplay mechanic to unlock the map, much like games such as Assassins Creed. Third - Anytime Spider-Man launches a goon off a roof, notice how everytime they have a trip mine attached to them, same can be easily applied to anyone flung from moving traffic.

I agreed with his point of "Mary Jane doing the irresponsible thing of not calling Peter when there's a potential viral pandemic that could emerge is an unbelievably bad move for her character." That's an understandable argument. You are also correct that he didn't fairly evaluate her change by the end of the plot and the fact that the game doesn't say Peter is wrong. I wasn't too much of a big fan of the "Don't stop to talk." nitpicks, though. "Talking is a free action" is a trope for a reason. If someone actually died because Peter was quipping too much, then I'd get it, but that's never set up as a thing.

Creaking jokes because he's nervous or because of stress is a modern Spider-man trait, not OG. For decades Spider-man told jokes to throw his enemies off and because he's a jerk, not because he's scared of who he's fighting.

Im glad that you keep pointing out the humanity of Peter, with him making mistakes. I think there are a lot of people that just think that since he is a superhero, he is ineffable. Stan Lee himself said that Spider-Man is such a great hero because he is a human. He has the same struggles as a regular person, so he is easily relatable. This guy in the video talks about the Insomniac Spider-Man as if he should be completely perfect, and that will never be a trait for Spider-Man.

I don't understand why media literacy is so awful these days. You don't have to have these stupid cynical takes every time a character makes mistakes or shows their flaws. And fictional stories, while stories work well with an established set of rules for world building, they don't always have to be realistic. Suspension of disbelief is what makes fiction interesting. SK really should have taken a creative writing course or something. They really took a lot of the fun out of the story.

And I find the gameplay entertaining too. I like to sneak past the enemies, being actually scared that the will see me. With Peter, most of the time, If you're spoted, It starts a fight, yet he doesn't die instantly. Miles and MJ are vulnerable, so this scenes are more tense. I don't know, I really like them and the character of MJ in this game in general.

I only discovered your channel about a month ago when your Insomniac Spider-Man power scale video randomly appeared in my feed. Clicking on that was one of the best decisions I've made on KZread. Haven't seen you miss yet. Love finding someone that appreciates this game and Spider-Man in general as much as I do.

Ya’know, it’s funny that S.K calls you sexiest when he tells MJ in the original video to “stop acting like a little girl” which by his logic makes him sexiest too because it’s pushing the stereotype that little girls are annoying🤦‍♂️😂

I have a couple of things to say about those StoryStreet clips, and I'll dip into some spoilers for the second game here and there even though this video was made before it was out. I would argue to some extent against the idea that Peter sees everyone as one thing. Even in the first game, he knows Shocker is more than just a criminal, and he clearly expresses his belief that Tombstone can reform, despite the fact that he's introduced _killing someone._ Come the second game, this belief is proven correct as not only is Tombstone completely reformed, but Mysterio and Sandman as well. When Sandman relapses at the beginning, he says he wants to _help_ him, not stop him. This could be because of what he learned in the first game, but even in the first game he wanted to help Shocker when he realized he was being threatened. Another thematic aspect of the game that's even stronger in the second game is the duality between Peter's two lives. He thinks he _has_ to be Spider-Man because he can, and anything he chooses not to do could lead to someone losing their Uncle Ben. He has a kind of messiah complex. _He_ has to be the one to fix every problem, no matter how small, because he's seen a seemingly small problem spiral into something much bigger and more tragic. _He_ has to stop every robbery, because one of those robbers could go on to kill someone. _He_ has to stop those guys in Central Park from harvesting private data, _he_ has to deal with that hostage situation, _he_ has to find out which cars are causing that pollution, _he_ has to fix that building's water pressure. Not only does this lead to him making problems worse when he rushes into things without a plan or tries to solve problems he's not qualified to solve (like when the water towers start leaking or in the helicopter chase mission where he endangers countless lives because he didn't secure the helicopter properly and poorly improvised a plan to stop it, causing a crane to nearly crush people, a wrecking ball to slam into countless buildings, and the helicopter's tail to barrel down the street at high speeds; seriously, if S.K. wanted to criticize Peter for endangering innocent lives, the helicopter mission is RIGHT THERE), but it also costs Peter Parker dearly. He prioritizes going after Fisk over paying his rent, which costs him his home. He repeatedly prioritizes being Spider-Man over his job with Otto, which eventually leads to Otto becoming a supervillain, costing Peter both a mentor and an aunt. His Spider-Man-ing also puts a strain on his relationship with MJ, who feels useless next to him. In the second game, he prioritizes fighting Sandman (his responsibility as Spider-Man) over his responsibility as a teacher, which costs him his job and in turn nearly costs him May's house. Due to this, MJ is left paying the mortgage which further strains their relationship. Then when he gets the black suit, he thinks he finally has the perfect solution. All that stuff he felt guilty about before? Jeff's death, May's death, Otto's descent into villainy? He thinks the black suit would have prevented all of it, and now he'll never have to feel guilty about anything ever again. But all it makes him do is focus all his efforts on being a better _Spider-Man,_ once again neglecting his responsibilities as Peter Parker. He still thinks _Spider-Man_ is the solution to everything. He neglects his responsibilities as a boyfriend to MJ, a friend to Harry, and a mentor to Miles. All of his relationships suffer because he thinks being the perfect Spider-Man is "everything everyone needs [him] to be." It's because of him neglecting his relationships that Harry becomes Venom. By the end of the game, he fully learns that being Peter Parker is just as important and just as helpful as being Spider-Man, so he decides to take a hiatus from superheroing to focus on his personal life. After all, he doesn't need superpowers to make a difference, and the stress of being Spider-Man was bad for his mental health and bad for everyone else in his life. It's a reverse of what we usually see in Spider-Man stories, where the moral seems to be that him being Spider-Man _is_ more important than his own mental health and financial stability, and he just needs to find a way to balance his hero life with his personal life, and I _love_ this reversal. It's such an unhealthy and dangerous message to send that your own wellbeing should come secondary to that of others, and I love that Insomniac is deconstructing that and instead saying "How can you expect to help anyone if you can barely function?" People should be encouraged to take breaks if what they're doing is getting in the way of their mental health or relationships, and they should learn that they don't need to shoulder _every_ burden.

What's sad is people in the comments agreed with the guy. I even commented with a rebodle but the YT and others came at me and said how some story beat made no sense. Like bro, read between the lines

The whole diving into the game's plot made me excited and curious to see what would happen if peter was the one who was aggressive with MJ instead in spider man 2. How she would react and what would peter do after she reacts, so on and so forth

I find it funny how he expects every character in stories to always be perfect AND thinks fiction is supposed to be like reality. It’s like he thinks in reality humanity isn’t flawed and people don’t make mistakes. At least pick one or the other.

32:47 In addition to this, let's just play along with S.K. and use in-universe logic. Pete hid most of these backpacks in areas that are hard for the average civilian to get to (without heavy machinery or ladders). I doubt they would make all that effort just for a backpack. Same with Spidey's villains, why would they care about a backpack, hidden or not? How would they know or care what was in it? (Pete was actually big brain here IMO). But even taking into account ALL of that, if they found all this stuff in his backpack, why would they care? Sure it has Spidey stuff and personal stuff, but most honest people would just turn it in or assume it was a megafan of Spidey (like we assume the movers did with the stuff in his apartment when Pete got evicted). Or they'd leave it alone bc they know it's Spidey's and most of them love and respect him.

Yeah, I noticed that S.K. tends to make a lot of nitpicks when I watched his Spectacular Spider-Man season 1 video. I did think he made a couple of good points in that video, but when it came to stuff like “why didn’t this villain use this to kill him right away” or something I just thought “Dude, it doesn’t matter all that much. These are supposed to be fun to watch and if that happens it’d take all the fun out of it.” I respect the guy, but some of his points can verge on being *extremely* nit-picky.

S.K. is pretty terrible overall.

In Infinity War he thinks Iron Man's armor is as durable as a car (he thinks Ebony Maw can just cut him in half like he does with the car). In the Far From Home video he leaves out that Mysterio said it took the elementals "many years" to destroy his Earth, so Peter isn't refusing to help out against a supposed world ending threat (in fact he never actually refuses to help, he even said he wanted to). S.K. is so egotistical and loves to humiliate people who's points he thinks are stupid. He's just another one of those MauLer types that thinks he's so good because he makes videos that are hours long but has the media literacy skills of a fly.
