#253: “I Am Spider-Man”
Episode description
Mary Jane Watson writes a Spider-Man musical for Midtown High, and Flash is the star! Glitterjaw’s own David Arnold steps in to break down Ultimate Spider-Man’s version of the classic “Flash Thompson gets mistaken for Spider-Man” tale. We talk about how this episode handles its in medias res opening, how to build a mid-season episode that could be anyone’s first, and how this show managed to tell a story that involves two teenaged boys sharing a spandex suit in the context of musical theater without being homophobic even once!
We’re watching Ultimate Spider-Man: Season 1, Episode 21: “I Am Spider-Man”.
