Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man review: Spectacular in every way
One watch of the opening credits for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man and you'll feel like you're reading a vintage comic book. That's the beauty of the Disney Plus series, which serves as Marvel Studios' third animated series, it's a visual love letter to the Steve Ditko era of Spider-Man. But it's also a love letter to Spider-Man in general, delivering an inherently Spidey story through and through.
The series is part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe's Multiverse Saga but it's not specific to the version of Spider-Man in that franchise that Tom Holland plays. Instead, it's set on a parallel Earth, making it McU-adjacent as it imagines what Peter Parker's early days as the webslinger would look like if Norman Osborn was his mentor instead of Tony Stark.
The result is pretty, well, amazing.
