Ultimate Spider-Man Episode 12 Me
Time Review
The following
review contains spoilers for Ultimate Spider-Man Season 1 Episode 12
Me Time.
Episode Synopsis
Spider-Man has a
battle with Whirlwind which he wins, but causes a lot of damage. Nick
Fury offers Peter additional training but Peter declines, saying that
this weekend is his and with Aunt May out for the day, this leaves
him full run of the house. Of course, Peter goofs off but notices a
camera, as Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. are spying on him.
Being an impulsive
teenager, Peter is not happy, and he confronts Fury about this.
Despite this being to keep an eye on his Aunt and also because Peter
technically agreed to this, he is still not pleased, so he hands on
his communication watch and walks off, saying this is not what he
signed up for.
Doctor Otto
Octavius watches Spider-Man, with Norman Osborn wanting more results.
Octavius vows to get the job done himself, which Osborn doubts,
mocking Octavius for being a shut in and he'd be nothing without his
mechanical arms. Octavius goes to prove Osborn wrong and fights
Spider-Man himself. Spider-Man gives Octavius the name, Doctor
Octopus and fights him but the tables were turner.
Octopus has
Spider-Man and prepares to dissect him. His new found success has
caused him to be a bit more arrogant, spurning Osborn, saying that he
doesn't need him. Spider-Man fights off Doctor Octopus but Osborn,
knowing his now ex-employee has failed, begins blowing up the
laboratory, flooding it. Spider-Man contacts S.H.I.E.L.D. but by the
time they arrive, Doc Ock is gone.
Spider-Man and
Fury make a compromise, with Fury agreeing to erase the in house
security tapes, but of course, not before showing them to Peter's
team mates, to much laughter.
Episode Review
Yeah that ending
was unnecessarily cruel, which made it kind of hilarious.
Doctor Octopus,
one of my personal favorite Spider-Man villains, was featured this
week, and we had a rather good fight between him and Spider-Man.
Granted, that fight will likely have perils to another fight between
Spidey and Ock in a much superior show, given that it took place at
an amusement park, but what are young to do.
The jokes were
rather all over the place in this episode. This show actually can be
potentially nearly decent when it actually focuses on Spider-Man
doing what Spider-Man does. When they try to be funny, the results
often are not pretty.
I'm becoming more
and more convinced this version of Peter has some form of ADHD or
ADD. I doubt I'm the only one.
I really have no
idea what to make of a couple of scenes right in this episode, looks
like someone might have come up with, after they indulged in
something. Especially the scene with Fury and Peter in the camp fire,
surrounded by tentacles was kind of trippy, with Fury eating some
kind of insects.
Ock was menacing
and Spider-Man did get some halfway decent quips. I did snicker at
Spider-Man lecturing Ock about referencing his pronouns. And some
groaners.
Episode Rating and Final Thoughts
Um, 7/10 I guess,
which the plot between Spider-Man and Doc Ock getting between an 8/10
and 9/10 and some of the more stupider side gags getting very much
below. You can watch Ultimate Spider-Man Episode 12 Me Time if you
have Disney XD On Demand.
