60's Spiderman Episode 2
Welcome to my review of the second episode of 60's Spider Man!
We start our episode in the middle of a swamp of all places, interesting...but right off the bat we see our villian for this episode The Lizard, and...are we really going with that design?
The Lizard jumps up and attacks some random fishermen, who of course flee in terror, The Lizard then tells us that he will take over the swamps, and then the world, you know suprisingly i dont see this plan working out, we then cut to New York City, small child yells out about an extra from the Daily Bugle talking about a lizard man attacking people in the Florida Everglades, Spider Man finds this interesting and decides that he wants to kick his ass, no literally, this is Spider Mans only reason for going to Florida, is so he can kick The Lizards ass, however, theres a problem, he dosent have any money, however he gets an idea and we cut to the Daily Bugle, where Peter Parker is attempting to convince his boss, Jameson thinks about it with the worlds greatest "hmmmmmmm..." face
and gives in, once Peter mentioned scooping the nation with pics of the lizard man, oh and you got to love that face Peter gives
once he gets there Spider Man runs through the swamp, yes this actually happens, searching for The Lizard, he finds his foot prints and marvels at how big they are, however The Lizard is following him, Spider Man stands by a lake when his spider sense goes off and he wonders aloud what could be causing it when suddenly The Lizard grabs him and pulls him under the water, they have an awkward fight under water, Spider Man wins shoving The Lizards face into the mud giving us a nice new of dat ass
Spider Man surfaces and runs off in search of a scientist named Dr. Conors who is known for his work ofn reptiles, The Lizard not too far behind, Spidey comes up to a mansion that just screams "rich white people live here!" a kid spots him and instantly recognizes him, Spider Man asks about Dr. Connors, it turns out that the kid is Billy Conors, the son of Dr. Conors, he tells Spidey that his dad went missing not too long ago, Spider Man goes to the mansion to talk to Dr. Connor's wife, she explains that Dr. Connor just left, he left them a note, but before they can talk any more The Lizard shows up scarring Billy with a face that is truly terrifying
Spider Man gets Billy to safety and fights with The Lizard until Connor's wife comes out and calls for Billy, The Lizard runs off. both Billy and Spider Man are confused and after a bit of questioning Spider Man learns that Dr. Connor was working on a cure for swamp fever, and heads to the lab, once he gets there he finds out how stereotypical the lab is
he finds a beaker with some green liquid in it, after looking at a sample he discovered reptile genes, he also finds a poorly drawn map of the world with all the major swamps circled, Spidey does some science and comes up with an antidote, but suddenly The Lizard walks in, he attacks Spidey making him drop the green liquid, the beaker bounces off the floor and The Lizard catches it, yes, the glass beaker falls to the ground bounces 4 ft off the ground into his hand...but then The Lizard has a freaking hand grenade!!!
like holy crap! oh you dont believe me? he tosses the thing and blows the room up look!
Dr. Connors wife comes in wondering what happened, you know, since a freaking grenade went off, but apparently not even grenades can stop Spidey as he gets up with the antidote intact, he heads out to the swamp and figures that The Lizard wants to create a reptile army, he uses his web to make a...um...wat? physics just took a back seat i see
so Spidey, um drives across the water coming upon an old Spanish fort, he finds The Lizard revealing his plan to some alligators, saying how if he pours his serum into the swamps that mankind will be at his mercy because that makes no sense at all, wouldnt the city water supply be better? anyway, Spidey blows his cover after the wall he was sitting on crumbled, The Lizard sends his alligators after Spider Man as he climbs up a tower, Spidey ignores the gators and climbs after him, they have a fight in the tower then Spider Man webs up The Lizard and forces the antidote down his throat, The Lizard reverts back to Dr. Conors, Spider Man informs him that after he tested his cure for swamp fever on him self he turned into a giant lizard man, Dr. Conors is returned to his home and Spidey goes back to New York, we cut to the Daily Bugle, where Jameson rejects the pitcure, according to him, there was a movie production filming in the Everglades about lizard men, then gets mad at Peter for not taking pics of Spider Man, Peter makes a little joke and the episode ends
onto the second episode, we begin in the rain, Spidey is taking a little patrol when suddenly he saw lighting shooting out of Jamesons apartment, Spidey goes to investigate, and finds Electro stealing from Jamesons safe, but he cut the alarm, Spidey takes a picture but this alerts Electro who shoots some lightning bolts at him, Spidey doges and then reconnects the alarm and seals up the exit with some web, Spidey takes cover behind a desk giving us this classic meme image
Electro breaks the web barrier and gets away by skating on the power lines, by the time Spidey gets out, the cops have arrived and open fire on Spider Man, no questions asked, just start shooting, it cuts to the Daily Bugle the next day, Jameson is understandably angry, Peter tries to show him the picture of Electro but Jameson claims that it was just a composite shot of his safe and a clown, i guess thats the closest thing to photoshop they had back then, later that night Spidey goes in search of Electro, he finds him and confronts him, after Electro shoots some lightning bolts at him, Spidey throws some spider tracers (little devices that help Spidey track his foes) Electro laughs, thinking it was a bunch of rocks, Electro runs off, but Spidey can follow him, however a while later after he robbed a jewelry store he notices the spider tracer, upon realizing what it is, he sets a trap for him, throwing the tracer into the building and setting off the alarm, later Spider Man jumps in only to find that hes been tricked, and before he can escape, the cops show up, armed to the teeth! 3 service revolvers and a tommy gun!

Spider Man makes a wall of webbing and exits through the back door, apparently web is bullet proof, it is also interesting to note how cartoons back then were allowed to show guns, while something like 90's Spider Man everyone uses laser guns, also the cops just shoot on sight, as Spider Man gets away, he cut to an old amusement park where Electro is counting his loot and hiding it in a carousel horse, but he pours it through its mouth but opens it up any way, it just seems pointless

Spider Man stops by his house and does some adjustments to his web and builds him self a device that will detect high amounts of electrical energy, and then he heads out, his detector leads him to the old amusement park where he finds Electro toying with his loot, he confronts Spider Man and shoots a bolt at him, but Spidey makes a web wall just in time and the electrical bolt bounces off, Spider Man explains he put asbestos in his web, not the safest concoction but it get the job done, Electro continues shooting lighting eventually setting some fireworks off, he escapes the building and heads into the fun house, Spidey follows, but is then trapped in a barrel of fun, while Spider Man is spinning around, Electro hides in the hall of mirrors, Spidey escapes and heads in, Electro then starts shooting the mirrors hoping eventually he'll his Spider Man, but Spidey finds Electro and ensnares him in web, it cuts to The Daily Bugle where Jameson is ranting against Spider Man when suddenly Electro is lowered into the window, Jameson is shocked to see that Electro was the clown in Peters picture and calls Betty to get the police saying he has a "package" for them and with that our episode ends
