Walloping Websnappers - A Spider-man Podcast

Spidey fights Daredevil and Scorpion and loses to both, Nico and Harry bond over a drag race, the gang war comes to a fiery head, and Doc Ock does a gay little dance in an exciting cluster of episodes! We talk about how the parallel storylines converge in a surprisingly brutal and violent fashion, along with secret identities, Goblin gliders, gamma radiation, and more.We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 6: “Duel with the Devil”, Episode 7: “Scorpion Rising”, and Episode 8: “Tangled Web”.Website⁠ | ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part of The Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Email: ⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)

Three whole episodes dropped of the newest Spider-Man cartoon, and all deal with Norman Osborn as Peter’s “man in the chair”, a slew of new suits, and Lonnie Lincoln’s continued slide down the slippery slope. We talk about the beautifully freakish Ditko/Kirby-style designs in future-Rhino, future-Chameleon, and their weird-looking friend, all the tech-based villains, getting Harry involved quickly and how that instantly changes the classic Osborn dynamic, and of course… our first look at Otto Octavius!We’re watchingYour Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man:Season 1, Episode 3: “Secret Identity Crisis”, Episode 4: “Hitting the Big Time, and Episode 5: “The Unicorn Unleashed!”Website⁠| ⁠Patreon⁠ | ⁠Discord⁠Part ofThe Glitterjaw Queer Podcast CollectiveContact us: @WallopingWebPod on ⁠Bluesky⁠ and ⁠Instagram⁠Email:⁠wallopingwebsnapperspodcast@gmail.com⁠Theme song features: ⁠“Resonance (Cyan & Ladybot Remix)” by HOME⁠ | ⁠License (CC BY 3.0)⁠

For our podcast anniversary, we're releasing one of our favorite Patreon episodes -- our immediate reaction to the Pepsi-holding, taxi-stealing, bad CPR-delivering, low energy legend herself, Madame Web! If you want to hear us yell more about this beautiful trainwreck of a movie, we'll have a brand new Patreon commentary on February 14!

We’re covering the newest animated Spider-Man as it airs, and we like it! The premiere offers us a new Spidey origin, a hockey costume, Norman Osborn as a mentor, and a slew of deep cuts and unexpected characters. We talk about the pros and cons of the unique Romita-inspired visual style, along with the exciting shades of Spectacular Spider-Man, the unnecessary multiversal opening (and why it’s good that this show is freed from the MCU), Colman Domingo’s beautiful voice, and more! And yes, this show IS woke, actually. We’re watching Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 1: “Amazing Fantasy” and Episode 2: “The Parker Luck”.

Season 1 of Ultimate Spider-Man ends as Spider-Man leaves S.H.I.E.L.D. for good… and then promptly returns a few minutes later! Among all the fun Green Goblin/Venom action–and a good Harry Osborn story–we talk about some of the frustrating narrative cul-de-sacs this show takes, the bizarre reveal of Luke Cage, White Tiger, Iron Fist, and Nova’s home lives (and how the show has utterly failed all of them), and why Phil Coulson needs to be off the show.  We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 26: “Rise of the Goblin”.

The season finale of Ultimate Spider-Man begins just as Derek returns–along with a new hairless, armless, cat-mechless Doc Ock! We talk about the effectiveness (or lackthereof) of Spidey’s team and how the show tries to sell an friendship arc we never saw, how Venom/Spider-Man DNA could Norman Osborn into a mutant Green Goblin monster with a weird metal arm, and this show’s flawed approach to season-long storytelling. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 25: “Revealed”.

The Beetle is back! …sort of? And he’s ruining Agent Coulson’s date with Aunt May! Glitterjaw’s own Merrilee (Fear Coded) returns to untangle the messy continuity of Ultimate Spider-Man’s Beetle story. We also chat about parent teacher conferences and drop some Doug and Merrilee high school lore, delve into the realm of ancient Roman goddesses, and break down what works and doesn’t work about Coulson and Spider-Man’s respective histories with the world’s deadliest mercenary. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 24: “Attack of the Beetle”.

Spider-Man accidentally gives Captain America’s shield to the most dangerous man in the world, and Glitterjaw’s own Merrilee (Fear Coded) steps in to break it down. We dig into the extremely brief Aliens homage at the start, get a lesson in the make-up of Captain America’s shield, and try desperately to figure out exactly which lesson we’re supposed to take away from this story. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 23: “Not a Toy”.

There are only a few episodes of Spider-Woman left, and Glitterjaw’s own Katie (Novel Gaming) joins Doug to break down this time travel tale! Unsurprisingly, we create a rich backstory for another pre-90s one-off animated supervillain icon, do our best to unravel Spider-Woman’s time travel mechanics, and pose the question: what if the Wookiees-not-Wookiees were actually correct to invade the futuristic Domed City of Peace? We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 14: “A Crime in Time”. Check out Novel Gaming!

Doc Ock is back, and this time he’s more menacing than ever, because he’s got… a huggable robo-cat suit? Glitterjaw’s own David Arnold is back to cover an episode that definitely shouldn’t be anyone’s first, because all the returning players are adults with ongoing capital-D drama. We talk all about Harry’s daddy issues, Spider-Man’s lack of MCU-like daddy issues surrounding Iron Man, and what it would take for us to issue a daddy card to this Otto Octavius. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 22: “The Iron Octopus”.

Mary Jane Watson writes a Spider-Man musical for Midtown High, and Flash is the star! Glitterjaw’s own David Arnold steps in to break down Ultimate Spider-Man’s version of the classic “Flash Thompson gets mistaken for Spider-Man” tale. We talk about how this episode handles its in medias res opening, how to build a mid-season episode that could be anyone’s first, and how this show managed to tell a story that involves two teenaged boys sharing a spandex suit in the context of musical theater without being homophobic even once! We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 21: “I Am Spider-Man”.

Spider-Man is turned into a Spider-Ham thanks to a magic hot dog, and is chased by boar-killing Asgardian hunters in a game with Thor and Loki… and somehow, none of it is as weird and wacky as you’d expect! We talk about the ways this show sometimes chooses safer narrative options despite being a comedy, and also dig into the Phil Coulson hype of the early MCU. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 20: “Run Pig Run”.

Spider-Woman faces a nude magician adorned in KISS makeup who’s stealing all the world’s landmarks and ransoming them for (Dr. Evil voice) TEN BILLION DOLLARS! We’re talking about one of the zaniest episodes of one of our favorite Spider-shows, which features surrealist booby traps in a haunted house, an Incredible Shrinking Hero (kind of), wildly fluid animated moments, and Spider-Woman’s own personal Mysterio. We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 13: “The Great Magini”.

Peter has to juggle taking care of a sick Hulk and an injured Aunt May in one house without jeopardizing his secret identity! Sounds like a great premise for a high-concept episode…until it keeps going and becomes something totally different. We talk about why the need to be a half-hour action show hinders what could be a straightforward comedic gem. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 19: “Home Sick Hulk”.

A story spotlighting Damage Control and superhero property destruction is a great idea! Unfortunately, just like all the comically collapsing buildings, this episode falls apart. We talk about a shrinking subplot that goes nowhere, an underwhelming mystery, why Wrecking Crew could take lessons from tokusatsu teams, and how the comedy and morality lessons of the episode clash. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 18: “Damage”.

It’s a beach episode! Spidey and his team blow off their S.H.I.E.L.D. training (as they should) and go to a remote island that houses a mysterious green striped-shirted prisoner–but unlike Sandmans of the past, this one is extremely creepy, with a dark backstory that makes Nick Fury and his organization look very, very bad. But does the episode take its secret military spy organization to task as much as it should? We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 17: “Snow Day”.

Would you believe us if we said this is THE BEST episode of Spider-Woman? A new archenemy who loves being a fly freak has ties to Jessica Drew’s backstory. Spider-Woman fights a little bionic guy and a giant scorpion. We get an extended origin flashback, genuine twists, and a plot you could see working in a Spider-Woman movie. This one’s got it all, baby! We’re watching Spider-Woman: Season 1, Episode 11: “The Spider-Woman and the Fly”.

Spidey has to protect Jameson and Mary Jane from a very Kamen Rider-esque Beetle and his assault on the Daily Bugle! We talk about the limitations of casting J.K. Simmons, the challenges of utilizing the S.H.I.E.L.D. team, Mary Jane working as a journalist, and how some of the show’s best humor comes, shockingly, from Scott Mosier of Kevin Smith’s View Askewniverse. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 16: “Beetle Mania”.

Check your horoscope! A furry-headed villainous group called the Zodiac takes over S.H.I.E.L.D. and only Spidey and Nick Fury can stop them, resulting in an homage that’s equal parts James Bond and Die Hard! We talk about how this Brian Michael Bendis-penned episode utilizes the show’s unique sensibilities to do some solid genre parody. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 15: “For Your Eye Only”.

We’re back to the wackiness of the very beloved, not-at-all controversial or divisive Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon, in an episode that pits Spidey’s team against Juggernaut, a science fair, and a kaiju-sized android with a toddler’s brain. Normal stuff! We talk about the weirdness of the team dynamic (and how this episode kinda fails Luke Cage), Peter Parker’s ambiguous morality, all the giant naked men, and recalibrating to this show’s unique tone. We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 14: “Awesome”.
