Man‘s version of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is in full swing. The Marvel Studios animated series dropped its penultimate batch of episodes on Wednesday — episodes 6 (“Duel with the Devil”), 7 (“Scorpion Rising”),

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episodes 6, 7, & 8 feature a collection of exciting Easter eggs, references, and some truly epic MCU cameos.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man makes passing references to Ben Parker, maintaining his legendary status as a father figure for Peter Parker. Including Uncle Ben on-screen would diminish his mythic stature, as he would become just a regular character rather than a larger-than-life hero for Peter to emulate.

Unfortunately, because everyone is so dang interesting, the character who ends up being the least compelling is Peter Parker himself. [ Ed. note: This post contains some spoilers for the latest episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.]

In the seventh and eighth episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter Parker battles The Scorpion, Norman Osborn's true colours may have been revealed, and Otto Octavius unleashes his arms!

Marvel doesn't have to look farther than Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to find the ideal actor for arch-nemesis Norman Osborn.

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.

A not-so-trustworthy character on Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man just flipped the meaning of Spider-Man's most famous line. (You know the one.)
