"Ultimate Spider-Man: Why I Hate Gym Review"

In this episode, Taskmaster, hired by Mr. Osburn, goes to Peter Parker's school undercover as a substitute gym teacher. He gives the students test to see if he can find the one who is secretly Spider-Man. While he sees that Petey meets the quota, his physical skills are less than desirable (of course, Petey is just faking to hide his identity from the other students, and unknowingly, Taskmaster).

There's a call-back on Saturday with a select few students (including Flash Thompson) so he can determine which is the one he believes is Spider-Man. Ava, ticked that she didn't get called back, is at the school, and notices strange goings-on. So she calls Spidey.

Spider-Man and White Tiger have to work together (*cough, choke* teamwork *cough*) to save the students and defeat Taskmaster.

The episode was funny. And action-y. And very much Spider-Man.

But I've just got one major beef.

Where was Sam? What episode can be called an episode without Sam? Hello.

Herp derp, writers. Herp derp.

Anyway.

Spidey and Tiger storm the building. Taskmaster is already inside, terrorizing Flash, Harry Obsorn, and Danny, who was also called back, coincidentally, and has tied up Principal Phil Coulson. Danny gets Flash and Harry to relative safety and then attempts to use his Iron Fist powers to stop Taskmaster, but quickly realizes that Taskmaster can match his every move.

Taskmaster then leaves Danny defeated and goes to find Spidey, who he believes is Flash Thompson.

And the episode goes from there.

Not really much to say in these reviews anymore, considering that I think I've covered mostly everything opinion-wise in previous reviews. So really, all I have to say is that, if you did see it, check out the poll on the side of the page, perhaps?

And if you didn't see it, or just want to see it again, check it out again tonight!
