Read on to see if this new animated show is worth adding to your watchlist.
is coded to remind you of Holland’s version of the character.
Animation works at times but not at others
OK, on to the elephant in the room.
The cel-shaded, comic book-style animation isjarring.
But surprisingly, I found that the animation worked in the show’s action sequences.
But it remained noticeable in each subsequent action sequence as well.
Whenever we’d cut to an action scene, I suddenly found myself enjoying the new animation style.
Unfortunately, I also found myself liking it less and less in the action-free moments of the show.
Oh and let’s not forget Norman Osborn, who is Peter’s Tony Stark-like mentor in this show.
But there are two characters introduced in these two episodes that are worth paying special attention to.
First is Peter’s friend Nico Minoru (Grace Song).
So don’t expect episode 1 to be the last we see of Doctor Stephen Strange.
Then, there’s Lonnie Lincoln (Eugene Byrd).
Lonnie is the school’s star quarterback and dating Peter’s crush Pearl.
At times, I think it’s a young adult show, which it nominally is.
