The Incredible Shrinking-Spider-Man
georgy_1181122 May 2023
This is yet another great episode and may be one of the best for the simple fact that it features another original supervillain specifically created for this show - and he's really engaging and highly interesting! The villain calls himself "the Gadgeteer" and has an actual backstory and leads the plot to the main attraction: Spidey is getting shrunk by a device and has to spend most of the episode as big as a mouse.

A few of the scenes from this episode are used in the series intro so you already know some of the scenes like the encounter with the cat or Spidey jumping around on a typewriter and there was quite a build-up to the Gadgeteer due to him being shown in the intro.

All the stuff Spidey has to do in his shrunk form are highly entertaining: For example, when he's shrunk the first thing he does is to lie down on a ruler to find out how small he actually is. Also, he tries to use the phone booth to call Aunt May.

Overall, very entertaining, funny and unique within the context of this show.
