[6.3/10] Well, we got to see Peter Parker nerd out because he got to meet Bruce Banner, which is a new thing in any of the Spider-Man shows I’ve watched, which is cool. And the Halloween conceit is pretty fun. But this one gets lost in a bunch of technobabble solutions that aren’t very clever and don’t really go anywhere. The episode kind of spirals out with the whole gamma ray gem thing, from the initial Man-Wolf, to the infected kids, to Hulk-Wolf and beyond. The progression and solution to all of these problems makes very little sense. I’m definitely not a stickler for scientific accuracy on cartoon superhero show, but the cause and effect of all the transformations and cures was just unintuitive and hard to follow.
I did like the fact that you had some connection and commiseration between Peter and Banner in having to live double lives, and Hulk’s smashing is always good. Plus, I like the emotional throughline of Harry appreciating Peter as his best friend because Peter sees him for who he is, not just as Norman Osborn’s son.
Still, the whole thing gets lost in all of the wolf-fighting business going on, and yet another reveal that Norman is behind all of it. Overall, this is another episode in a row that isn’t out and out bad, but is definitely dull and less than compelling in parts.
