A poster for the Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episode, "Secret Identity Crisis," by Julien Rico Jr. asks if Norman Osborn is "A Friend or Foe." This comes after Tarantula and Speed Demon struck in a clip from the episode.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man initially started as the series that would finally address the origin tale of Tom Holland's version of Spider-Man.

In the MCU, Peter Parker's billionaire mentor was Iron Man. But in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter's mentor is not as friendly.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man showrunner Jeff Trammell has addressed the decision to have Harry Osborn learn the web-slinger's secret identity in episode 4 and what that could mean moving forward.

Some Spider-Man fans take issue with the MCU take on Peter Parker despite his movies being financial and critical successes. They feel Tony Stark acting as a mentor to the teen vigilante is antithetical to Peter’s outsider status.

Three new episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man arrived on Disney+ on February 5, 2025. After a two-episode premiere, which introduced the audience to Peter Parker’s world and friends, the new episodes focus on new challenges for the superhero.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is having an identity crisis. Wednesday’s three-episode drop — “Secret Identity Crisis,” “Hitting the Big Time,” and “Unicorn Unleashed” — picks up where the first two episodes left off: with Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) discovering that newest Oscorp intern Peter Parker (Hudson Thames) is Spider-Man.

The animated Disney+ series makes a bold change to Spidey’s MCU story and the result is a series that’s fun and smart with a hint of genuine danger.

But what’s funny about the entire situation is how Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is, in fact, one of those “woke” shows you’re always hearing culturally conservative types harp on about. It celebrates multiculturalism by treating diversity as a simple fact of the world Peter Parker exists in.

Episode 4 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man referenced Peter Parker's other superhero personas from the "Identity Crisis" comic series.
