#313: “Cloak and Dagger”

About this episode

This episode introduces Cloak and Dagger while discussing themes of education and character dynamics in the Spider-Man universe.

Like the title suggests, this one introduces Marvel characters Cloak & Dagger (voiced by their concurrent live action actors!) But the big surprise? The introduction of Anna Maria Marconi, who shakes up the Superior Spider-Man story and even brings early conversations about super genius schools vs. underfunded public schools back into the fray. We get into Peter in a robot body, the startling lack of the Spider-Women, Miles finally getting into the action but still being underused, and more! We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 18: “Cloak and Dagger”.
