    In this video I say that Oscorp in the Raimi films was heavily involved with Spider-Man's origin, however they don't have a direct connection to the spider bite itself. I was smoking so much cardboard I mixed up Raimi and TASM. You can't legally prove me wrong tho.

    my personal favorite of the rogues gallery that ultimate peter has faced, would be venom due to obviously how horrifying it is a suit that is supposed to help you, ends up eating you from the inside and needs to feed on others in order for you to survive. It also doesn’t help that person inside the suit, Eddie in this case, represents a friend that you once thought of as a good person, is in reality a trash human being who would rather blame others for their problems and lie if it benefits them in the end. great video by the way.

    Ultimate Spider-Man was such a good run. I literally could not put it down when i wasn’t working for about 2 weeks until i finished it. It even made the Ultimatum stories not god awful. Only thing that really sucked was seeing Bagley leave, the artist after him who did about 20 issues or so was a nice replacement and i didn’t have any problems, but holy fuck when it turned into a pseudo manga and redesigned all the characters i really wished they went with another artist. It really didn’t feel like it was the same Ultimate Spider-Man that came before it. The actual stories were well enough and i enjoyed the Aunt May taking in Human-Torch and Ice Man, but it just would have been better with a different artist. Besides that, the end is fantastic. This and The Walking Dead are some of my favorite comic runs simply because it was just mostly one writer and one artist on the same book so it felt consistent.

      @Innocent Jogger I generally like Peter being shorter, but holy shit when Lafuente took over, i felt like Peter looked like a middle schooler. Maybe it was the contrast with him being so short and drawn with such huge pants and stuff, but i just felt it looked really off. Also yeah, as much as i do like the slow burn and character drama from Ultimate Spider-Man, after Ultimatum the relationship drama was just tiring and felt a little overplayed. I assume that’s why Bendis decided to end it, because he felt like he was going to have this in a constant loop.

    The way that Ultimate Spider-Man is written when it comes to its villians is so interesting. Like you said in this video with Kingpin sure he's a big/brolic man, but his character is at its best when he uses his words. And Ultimate Spider-Man really explores that side of his character, that side where he doesn't have to hit you with a haymaker, when a foolproof threat can do the trick. The way that Norman devolves from Arachne to Athena, which is shown throughout the comic and talked about with his story in the beginning. Shows me that the writers for this comic really planned for him to devolve into someone that lost their way, or maybe have always been twisted in the head. They get the core aspects of these villians down to a tee and write them in ways that the MCU would LOVE to achieve but can't lol. The pacing, writing, the evolution/devolution of the characters, the worldbuilding, and totally understanding Spider-Man and his character makes this my favorite Spider-Man comic for sure. These are the same reasons why I love Spider-Man 2 (2004) and Into The Spider-Verse so goddamn much because they truly understand these characters, and when you understand the characters that you're adapting, you can truly write and create something special...amazing maybe.

    *Spoilers for miles morales current series*
    I love how this video conveniently leaves out the reveal that both Peter and Norman are immortal and that there both alive lol. That idea Was awful but I can’t help but feel that Bendis had something planned before secret wars cut miles Time in the ultimate universe short. While bendis dose have moments that are Truly awful/ pointless in some of his stories, I feel like he was always more careful with ultimate Spider-Man. I personally don’t care for miles in the main universe, I get that they only did it to make sure he survives secret wars but I feel like a element from those stories is now missing with him just being the second Spider-Man in the main continuity. I love Mike’s current series but that’s mostly cause I get the feeling that it’s gonna end with Mike’s going home, with the return of ultimate Norman and the introduction of ultimatum n all. Once miles goes home I hope they finally continue the story that was set up years ago. I guess that Peter could of just retired but if you remember at the end of Spider-Men 2 we see that he’s now an ultimate, so he’s definitely still active. Id love for marvel to do a series showing what ultimate Peter was doing while miles was mind wiped and stuck on earth 616. I just miss the ultimate universe as a sandbox for Spider-Man (not as a whole, my god not as whole lol) and hope that at some point we return there weather it’s with miles going home or showing the reader what Peter has been up too sense he came back to life. Great video man.

      another thing is that ultimate universe may return because it was revealed in a venom issue that 1610 still exists (in chaos but still). perhaps they will bring it back? maybe not- but miles was not the only one who actually made it to 616, the maker (aka ultimate reed richards. evil supervillian) also survived then went back to 1610.
      I actually do not know if there are current ultimate comics ongoing or not though.

    I feel like Bendis was so eager to tell these stories and have this giant impactful moments that he had a tendency to rush from arc to arc quickly setting up villains, have the big fight where Peter loses, challenge Peter's ideals and morals, Peter bounce back and defeat them, and all of this in the matter of 3-4 issues. This interpretation of Norman is different than what I'm used to, but I love the idea of him and he has some incredible moments. Still, he's the best example of rushing that villain cycle. They introduce the idea of him knowing about Peter and studying him from the distance, then an issue later he becomes the goblin and becomes defeated. They introduce the idea of Norman owning Peter and that he has to work for him now that he's back, and then an issue later he's put back in jail. This kind of thing happens every time he comes back.
    The Kingpin however was such a strong character and one of the few villains Bendis really took his time with and fuck Kingpin became my favorite Spidey villain because of the Ultimate Spider-Man run. I can even defend how he got killed off suddenly by Mysterio without any heroes present because it fits with his story. He considers himself grand, yet is killed off easily by someone who then was a nobody. I know Kingpin is often associated with Daredevil, and I get why totally, but he is just such a beast of a well written character that he can become "The Joker" of an antogonist to two heroes (two heroes that barely interact with each other as well). I also think that's why that moment with Daredevil almost killing Kingpin works so well as Peter also has a lot of stake into this villain. If Peter had barely interacted with Kingpin then him saying it's not worth it could have been seen as a little disengenous, but Peter fully understands what this man is capable of and understands how personal Wilson can be with his threats, yet Peter's morals as Spider-Man is enough to convince Daredevil to not go down that dark path. It's my favorite moment of the entire Ultimate run. That and Kingpin owning the merchandising rights to Spider-Man, hands down biggest power move any villain can commit.

    As great as this video is, I just want to point out a correction for something around 3:00
    In the Raimi Spider-Man films, in particular, Spider-Man 1, the spider has nothing to do with Oscorp. It's created by the Columbia University genetics/research lab, where the field trip is taking place. Norman is connected to Peter through Harry alone, which is more like classic comics than the Ultimate comics, the Ultimate comics being what The Amazing Spider-Man definitely took more direct inspiration from.

In the comics he is just a joke and at first it seemed that the ultimate comics would go in this same path only for one issue to change all, with Shocker not only capturing Spider man (showing that he is not that incompetent) but his dialogue with Peter really shows he is just a poor tragic guy who turn to crime after his life was screw over by companies (in other words he is another victim of corrupt criminals like Fisk and Osborn).
