It’s kinda funny how in this game Spider-Man does his best to try and convince Martin Li and Otto Octavias that revenge isn’t worth it, yet Yuri Lowenthal’s most famous character, Sasuke Uchiha in the Naruto anime, was all about revenge.

One thing of note to mention regarding Black Cat, when within her hideout in the base game where you are given the Dark Suit, if you look on one of the walls, you see what look to be child-like drawings of a Cat playing with and then trapping a Spider. Obviously symbolic images that represent Peter and Felicia's relationship. Peter even comments on them. What a lot of people do not notice about all the drawings, however, is that they are all signed with the intials J. H.. Most likely a J. Hardy. With what Felicia says about saying that she lied about having a son being an ugly word and prefers the use of the word misdirection, it is theoretically possible that she does in fact, have a son. That she is just misdirecting him once again.

One thing I will give to this game a hundred times over, the voice cast was so solid. If Yuri is being propped up as the definitive Spider-Man, I'd say it's well earned.

I was 13 when the original was released, and now I'm in my senior year of high school.

Darin De Paul who voiced Jameson, also voiced Venom in the Midnight Suns game. I have to say that, as great as Venom looked in Spider-Man 2 and as incredible albeit short-lived Tony Todd's performance as Venom was, in terms of characterisation I thought Venom was much more enjoyable in the Midnight Suns game.

Another great retrospective. My favorite part of these videos is how you show the easter eggs and comic references. I love seeing things from the comics and how they relate to the game world. This is a highly underrated channel. It's crazy to me that you have less than 100,000 subs. It reminds me of when I was lucky enough to find Captain Disillusion's channel when he only had about 80,000 subs and got to watch him grow into such a success. I see the same fate for this channel if you continue with quality work like this.

I completely disagree with that interview where they said that seeing iron man would overshadow the game, we've had previous marvel games where other heroes cameoed and it was a cool little moment. Biggest example is Punisher that had Iron Man, Black Widow, and Nick Fury.

Spider-man, of the superhuman reflexes and strength, not only keeps getting thrown by normal humans in cutscenes ( Black Cat and Silver Sable) but allows Black Cat to take a flash grenade off her belt, pull the pin, and place it on Spidey's chest, and run off. All the while he lays there and seems bewildered. At least with Black cat his spidersense likely doesn't consider her a threat. maybe cutscene Spider-man just ignored his spidersense at these times.
