#314: “Superior”

About this episode

The episode discusses the conclusion of the Superior Spider-Man arc, focusing on themes of relationships and heroism.

The Superior Spider-Man arc comes to an end with a surprisingly intimate tearjerker, as Otto learns tough lessons about relationships, selflessness, and heroism…all thanks to a gloopy hostless Venom symbiote who loves to lick! We talk about the use of Flash Thompson and Anna Maria Marconi, how this arc weaved so many unexpected threads together, and the continued weird lack of Gwen and Anya. We’re watching Marvel’s Spider-Man (2017): Season 2, Episode 19: “Superior”. ⁠⁠Take the Glitterjaw Listener Survey ⁠⁠⁠⁠ and enter to win a $50 gift card!
