Review and Media by Stu
Spider-Man battles a 20-foot Scorpion. Okay then...

Yes, this episode is damn weird. That's all there is too it. Despite some very amusing screen captures it provided, it's an episode that I was watching with six simple words running through my head; "What the hell is going on here?"

The weird thing is, this isn't actually a bad episode, it's simply difficult to review because it's really, really weird. It's not a plot this show usually does, which, given how repetitive this series is, is actually pretty cool. There was some classic moments with J. Jonah Jameson and some pretty good Spidey one liners but again ... it's weird.

Just look at the captures, it reviews it better than I.
