Spectacular Spider-Man 2.01 - 2.05

(Avatar fans, I haven't forgotten about you. In fact, I talk about the Avatar finale for like an entire paragraph in here!)

So, if you didn't know, Canada got season 2 of Spectacular Spider-Man before we did. (Deja vu, Avatar fans?) Sony took its darn tootin' time in getting the episodes off to another network, but they'll finally land on the new,

Not reading yet, because spoilery - but I wanted to thank you for your initial reccomendation of this show. I recently finished season one and I LOVE IT. A LOT.

<3 Yay. I'm glad you're enjoying the show.

And that entire scene is exactly why they are right for each other in the end.

YES. I was actually blathering at latropita about this on IM. I basically described the entire scene to her and how I FLAILED RIDICULOUSLY THROUGHOUT AND KEPT REWATCHING IT and I summarized it as exemplifying their relationship and why MJ is not his first love or his only love, but she is the love of Peter Parker's life.

I just...love the show so much for getting all of the ladies in there and how Peter has these distinct relationships with each of them.

Also, re: whether MJ knows. I DUNNOOOOO. I feel like she's giving off a pretty knowing air in general wrt Peter, like she just...gets him, but I'm not sure if that's intentional or just sort of, her general awesome.

AND NOW I AM GOING TO WATCH EPISODE FIVE SO I CAN READ THE REST OF THE POST.

I would love to see these blathers of yours. MOSTLY SO THAT I CAN FLAIL AROUND SOME MORE.

Totally! And I love how the show basically gets me to love each relationship for what it is. (Kinda like with Sokka...)

Also, re: whether MJ knows. I DUNNOOOOO. I feel like she's giving off a pretty knowing air in general wrt Peter, like she just...gets him, but I'm not sure if that's intentional or just sort of, her general awesome.She really does "get" him so much, which is almost like the exact point of so many of her scenes. And I think she "gets" him on a slightly better level than

I'm not going to read it yet, because kdakdfa I did not know the next season was out! I MUST WATCH THEM. (I am also someone who started watching this wonderful show because of your comments~)

lol lol the Captain Stacey and Gwen moments... she is still such a daddy's girl like in the comics. But, IMO, here it doesn't kill her character but adds depth to it.

<3333 totally one of my favorite parts of that episode. (Which is really quite impressive considering I was squeeing and fangirling all through it. XD)

Basically this show is like ENDLESS DELIGHT AND HEARTBREAK at every turn.

It's kind of like Avatar that way, isn't it? :D

Also, Avatar-Spectacular comparison is frickin' AWESOME. They really are quite similar in some ways, aren't they? (not so much plot-wise, but in terms of characters and depth and emotional range and such)

Hello, I occasionally used to look at your journal for your insightful Avatar meta.

I love what you said about the ending of Avatar. Aang's conflict with himself is one of the things that make me love Avatar so much. I get irritated with the amount of people who call the ending of Avatar a deux-ex-machina. You summed up very well why it wasn't one.

I've only watched a few episodes of Spectacular Spiderman, but I really like what I've seen so far. I see what you mean with your comparison between the two shows.
