Ultimate Spider-Man Episode 18
Damage Review.
To break down this episode, the old Clint Eastwood movie, the good,
the bad, and the ugly will be utilized.
The Good
Everything Stan Lee touched turns to gold. So Stan the Janitor's bits
in this episode were a highlight.
Dwayne McDuffie got a tribute. That was a rather classy gesture for
the Ultimate Spider-Man staff.
Spider-Man had a couple of funny lines. Mostly the one at the end of
the episode where he threw Fury's line about the best damage being no
damage back in his face.
"Has Doctor Doom destroyed your living room." Enough said
about that one.
Nova got shrunk. That was funny in principle. Too bad it did nothing
to curb his annoyance factor.
There were some cool visuals in the fights with the Wrecking Crew.
And they came up with a pretty smart plan.
Spider-Man the stealth suit, even if he ruined it by being chatty.
Him and Pepper from Iron Man Armored Adventures should get together
some time.
The Bad.
The team in general continued their standard of annoyance or two
dimensional indifference. White Tiger had some decent character
development but that seemed to be lost. And once again we go with the
plot where no one believed Spider-Man. Even if he was wrong,
seriously.
How many times are we going to have Fury hammer the same lecture into
our heads? I know children can have short attention spans but
seriously.
The Ugly.
The cutaways continue to be a big bother in this episode. To be fair,
there were not that many. The few that there were, they really pulled
me right out of the scene.
Fury really needs to be fired because he made Nova the foreman.
That's just like putting the Hulk in charge of an anger management
class. Bad idea written all over it.
All character development has been lost.
Ultimate Spider-Man Episode 18 Damage was not the best but not the
worst. 5/10 was given for this episode.
