“The Unicorn Unleashed” gets a bit obscure in tapping and old Iron Man villain and repackaging it as a member of the crew we saw Spider-Man (Hudson Thames) take down in the previous episode who acquires the helmet from Doc Ock‘s () black market. Playing on the cliffhanger of Harry (Zeno Robinson) learning Peter’s secret identity, he becomes Spider-Man’s tech support which builds a friendship Peter than struggles to bring over into his real life to the consternation of Nico (Grace Song).

“Hitting the Big Time” is really just an excuse to put Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) in a bunch of goofy costumes designed by Norman Osborne (Colman Domingo). While none, but the last (which still looks a bit too Anti-Venom to me), are really on brand or functionally make any sense (other than potentially sell toys), there’s certainly fun to be had with Spidey trying his luck in the various outfits. Eventually the pair settle on a new look for the hero.

The second and third episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man focus on  Peter Parker‘s (Hudson Thames) internship as Oscorp which turns out to be nothing more than the machinations of Norman Osborne (Colman Domingo) to identify Spider-Man from the most likely young suspects and thank him for saving Harry‘s (Zeno Robinson) life. Both Peter’s internship and his mentorship with Norman get off to rocky starts, but there are positives as Peter enjoys working with Dr. Carla Connors (Zehra Fazal) on an experiment and, despite initially turning down his offer of help, discovers how useful Norman can be as an ally when fighting a pair of pretty lame baddies in Speed Demon (Roger Craig Smith) and Tarantula (Anairis Quiñones).

Set in one of the many spider-verse realities, the opening episode of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man introduces us to incoming freshman Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) who gets bit by a radioactive spider from another dimension on his first day at high school. The episode is a mix of modern and throwback, giving Peter a nostalgic look while replacing the older supporting characters with slightly different choices. Speaking of different choices, the moment from Captain America: Civil War arrives, but its not Tony Stark talking to Aunt May (Kari Wahlgren) when he walks into the apartment but Norman Osborne (Colman Domingo) instead. Although Osborne is there with a legitmate internship offer (not asking for his helping in taking down Captain America). Yes, a different world indeed.
