Too many commercials and, honestly, not much substance.
But as of yet, that's a little beside the point.
In this episode, we got to see our legendary Iron Man, aka Tony Stark, whom Spidey apparently has a man-crush on, according to Nova. We open up with the members of SHIELD battling Living Laser, who poofs off, and then Spidey meets his idol, Iron Man, who offers Spidey "guidance".
An offer that Nick Fury will have nothing of.
And you can't blame Nicky, because what happens when Spidey goes against an order to stay away from Stark is probably exactly what he envisioned erupting. Tony builds Spider-Man his own iron suit, thus Spidey vows to become Iron Spider.
Which, might I add, is a beyond awesome name.
Anyway, getting into the episode after some long commercials, we got to the classic Disney aspect of it, which kinda disappointed me a little, even though I saw it coming. When Spidey shows up to training in his new iron suit, he gloats and yada yada, and the team gets annoyed with him. So, obviously, after a few days of this and Spidey accidentally destroying pretty much anything in his path because he doesn't know how to control the suit just yet, they get fed up with him, and ditch him completely after another run-in with Living Laser.
But after they walk away, Spidey notices something wrong with the suit.
Something that wasn't just his inability to use it right.
And I don't want to give it away for those who haven't seen it. But if you're someone reading this review because you didn't see it, it's on again tonight, so watch out for it, and if you really want a little hint before waiting some hours for the episode to air again, you know how the suit runs on energy?
And Living Laser is energy?
Yeah.
If you've just stumbled upon this review? Don't really watch Spider-Man but like what you're reading? Check it out, why don't you - it's seriously awesome.
And if you're a non-Spidey fan but looking to see what it's like, same as above. Watch it!
Anyway, I think this show is finally getting into the groove of actually making episodes, not just instances in the life of Spidey as a superhero. Not that those first episodes weren't awesome, because I haven't seen a non-awesome episode of US yet. However, I think we're still a little cheesy here.
The importance of friendship.
Reliability.
Teamwork.
The usual.
I just hope that life lessons aren't pounded continuously into kids' heads in this series. And I also hope, for all kids watching, you know, that they stop with the strategic camera angles of Ava in her White Tiger suit.

*ahem*
Not to mention, I hope that someone else gets the victory now and then, and not just Petey. Do NOT get me wrong. I love Spider-Man. He's awesome. But it seems like he always comes out on top and the other members of SHIELD are just there to back up his awesomeness. They have awesomeness too, right? The show needs to showcase it just a little more, and they weren't really key characters in this episode, even though they had their usual screen time.
Anyway.
If you like Iron Man, I'm sure you'll like this episode. I did, anyway. And tune in next week for another new episode!

(Fun Fact: Check out the poll on the side. Who looks the best out of superhero uniform?)
