Spider-Man Soars to 100% on Rotten Tomatoes: What Critics Are Raving About!

The debut of the first two episodes of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” has been unveiled on Disney+, accompanied by the first Rotten Tomatoes evaluation for the series. Critics who have had early access to the whole series are starting to share their thoughts on the review aggregator site. As of now, the series boasts a perfect 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with every critique posted thus far labeling it as “Fresh”. Although Rotten Tomatoes hasn’t yet compiled a consensus for the inaugural season of “Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man”, initial feedback suggests positive vibes. Currently, it ranks as Marvel Studios’ highest-rated series, edging out “X-Men ’97” with its near-flawless 99% score.

The animated Disney+ series offers a fresh perspective on the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Spider-Man character, as he is mentored by Norman Osborn instead of Tony Stark, as seen in the original movies. This unique blend of 2D and CGI animation gives the show an authentic comic book atmosphere, reminiscent of the Stan Lee and Steve Ditko comics from the 1960s. The revamped version of Spider-Man has been well-received by critics, demonstrating that there are multiple ways to revitalize the iconic web-slinger who has appeared on both large and small screens numerous times.

Amon Warmann from Empire Magazine described the show as a “fresh take on Spider-Man that acknowledges past events but also blazes a new trail,” while Aramide Tinubu from Variety noted it was “both nostalgic and contemporary, perfectly capturing the feeling of being a teenager in 2020.” Essentially, the series shines brightest by centering its story around an appealing group of young characters.

‘Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man’ Has a Bright Future on Disney+

As a passionate cinephile, I couldn’t be more thrilled about the overwhelmingly positive reception for the series at this momentous time. This is all the more significant given the recent announcement that the show will return for a third season! It’s not just the big-screen adaptations of Spider-Man that have left an indelible mark, but his small-screen exploits as well.

The iconic portrayal of the character in the ’90s Spider-Man animated series played a crucial role in cultivating a legion of fans even before Sam Raimi’s feature films graced our screens, and The Spectacular Spider-Man is fondly remembered as a TV series that truly encapsulated the spirit of the character.

Regarding Hudson Thames’ contentious comments regarding the series, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man appears to thrive in its portrayal of Peter Parker’s circle of friends. Characters such as Norman, Harry, Lonnie, and Nico emerge as captivating highlights of the show, according to MovieWeb’s critique, which notes that their subplots significantly contribute to shaping both Peter and the series overall.

The locally adored Spider-Man, once again, delivers a highly praised gem for Disney+ streaming service and the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). With recent content from these platforms facing some criticism regarding quality, if future seasons of this new Spider-Man series maintain their current critical acclaim, our friendly neighborhood wall-crawler looks set for a prosperous journey, not only in Tom Holland’s upcoming films but also on television and streaming platforms.
