Trixie's father, Jackpot, comes into Canterlot City as the Great and Powerful Mysterio. Now Peter and Trixie's friendship is put to the test while Spider-Man contends with the magician's illusions and advanced technology.
Hello! I'd like to apologize, but Episode 7 of Ultimate Spider-Man has been pushed back to a later date. School and work were a bit more hectic than I anticipated. Fortunately, we are only pushing the date back a couple of weeks, AND I'll give you guys a bonus.
Now that enough time has passed, how does everyone feel about the game? Share your thoughts! Positive and negative! Gameplay. Story. Characters. Whatever!
Will Twilight and Rainbow Dash finally stop having sticks up their asses, finally get the character development they should’ve gotten since the Friendship Games and stop being envious hypocritical tsundare jerks to Peter Parker or Spider-Man? And before you start yes Peter wasn’t the most social and said some things they people would consider insensitive and should’ve thought of the long term consequences but it’s no worse than what those two keep doing with their attitude and it’s just getting annoying that it’s taking them this long to get it through their thick heads cause it’s starting to make them less likable after each story and I feel like they’re to good of characters for that.
5761343 Well I can safely say if you’ve caught up that Rainbow Dash and Sci-Twi are after our Spider-Boi while Fluttershy isn’t and everyone else are neutral and more focused on Scorpion(and I don’t think that’s the Sunset Shimmer they know in the background), the former to satisfy her butthurt ego since their loss against the Man-Spider and the latter for wanting to exploit Spidey’s genetics for her scientific curiosity and misjudged belief that he doesn’t deserve his powers what she thinks he’s doing is irresponsible misuse which is hypocritical of her considering the last time she used great power she almost recklessly tore the dimensions apart in corrupted mindset, she clearly didn’t learn from Dr. Strange’s lecturing or realize she’s no better after the friendship games.
It seems I was right with Rainbow using her powers to get revenge on Spidey for the humiliation she suffered and Sci-Twi likely will join her. Maybe Rarity, but IDK. Pinkie and AJ I think would be neutral and focused more on Gargan and Fluttershy would pf course try to stop Rainbow, maybe finally standing up to her and perhaps even having a little fight of their own. I didn't notice before, but that Sunset in the back looks like the HUMAN Sunset (who apparently is a mutant). Wonder how she will play into all this.
5761354 Me too & maybe in that story both of them will probably cause an accident with peter and that they will receive consequences for their actions by the principals and their parents.
5761921 What makes you assume he's fully based on Spectacular? How about we just wait and see what happens? You don't even know the circumstance of WHY this Kraven transforms to begin with, nor do you fully get Scorpion's entire ordeal. Be patient and watch the tale unfold.
5761671 ...why Harry as Venom? Harry hasn't even been introduced to this world yet... but Eddie Brock has. And it seems like it's taking inspiration from the Spectacular Spider-Man route of the symbiote saga
5762288 No, I played Spider-Man 2 on day 1... and is the exact reason why I hate it.
1. I love Eddie Brock... but its Harry for the sole reason of "your friend is now the final boss" 2. This Venom acts nothing like Venom... Venom has never been the TAKE OVER THE WORLD type of character. He hates Spider-Man and will do anything to ruin or even kill him... at least for the time as he developed as a character 3. They took elements from recent EDDIE BROCK stories without giving proper credit to the artists and writers... 4. There's really no reason for Harry to even be Venom. Once he bonds with the symbiote, he kind of just disappears from the story... but it becomes confusing cause is it the suit controlling Harry? Is Harry the true mastermind? Again, nothing is cleared up. Harry is just evil now out of nowhere cause Peter was a dick... 5. This version of Venom, while he looks amazing... is incredibly boring as a character. Its like they literally just took a look at him and saw "MONSTER"... and thats it, thats is character, evil monster taking over the world who is also your best friend cause Insomniac can't make one game without having the final battle be your former friend for drama...
On the other hand, you have Midnight Suns which probably has THE best modern adaptation of Eddie/Venom... and he still looks great!
THATS... why I think Harry as Venom... is stupid, and in this world, would make no sense when we have an established Eddie... but so far, no Harry
5762273 Everyone is still excited and hung over about the game. I'm not copying the game. That'd be lazy at this point. I'd like to give a year grace period at least.
5762290 With all due respect, I have to disagree. In my honest opinion, Harry as Venom in Marvel's Spider-Man 2 is a unique take on the character. Just because it isn't Eddie Brock and this version of Venom isn't exactly the same as the comics doesn't mean its a bad thing, it depends on how the idea is executed (which the Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon pathetically failed on that). I think it makes the relationship between Peter, Harry and the Symbiote much more personal. Like even after Peter refused to give Harry back the Symbiote, both while under its influence and then after rejecting it, Harry still wants his best friend at his side so they can "heal the world" together. The Symbiote still wants Peter even after being rejected, but if it can't have him then no one will.
The Symbiote feeds off from and exploits its host's negative feelings and insecurities, twisting and corrupting their desires and personality (eg. making Peter more violent and aggressive and twisting Harry's dream of healing the world by giving him the idea to make everyone Symbiotes) and eventually their appearance as well. If Peter hadn't been saved by Miles, he would've eventually ended up looking like Venom. As for why Harry was being angsty, it was established by Connors that the Symbiote leaves traces of itself in its host to make it easier to re-bond with the host should it be separated. Harry was basically acting like a drug addict going through withdrawal symptoms, with his relapsing disease making it worse, and the Black Suit/Venom story itself is an allegory of what an addiction can do to you.
Not saying that it is without flaws. That's just my open-minded view on it. But I guess that version just isn't for you. Eddie Brock is the one true Venom after all.
That being said. For the Spiders and Magic story, since Harry hasn't even appeared yet apart from a few mentions and Eddie has already been established as a character starting from Part IV, having Harry as Venom makes no sense whatsoever. And as Max put it, just copying straight from the game would be lazy. Max clearly has his own idea in mind, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it.
Spider vs scorpion. The battle between two famous arachnids!
GARGEN'S BIG DEBUT!
And hopefull the Mane 7 will finally realize that Spidey and Peter are worthy of respect.
Ayo, why does this look like the mane 7 is on my boi Spidey? And who is in the scorpion suit? Is that Adagio?
Will Twilight and Rainbow Dash finally stop having sticks up their asses, finally get the character development they should’ve gotten since the Friendship Games and stop being envious hypocritical tsundare jerks to Peter Parker or Spider-Man?

Why a purple Scorpion?
5761405
He's based on the first movie game version of the Scorpion.
5761343
No. It's Mac Gargan
"Wow. Squirrels must love you... 'cause you're nuts!"
"LIES! ALL LIES!!"
Sting of the Scorpion...
Nice to see purple Scorps, remember that design in Spider-Man PS1: "YOUR TIME IS RUNNING OUUUUT! HAHAHAHAAAA HAHA!!!"
Also wow, Spidey vs Mane6 round 2 but this time, no Man-Spider shenanigans...
Spectacular spectacular spiderman!!!
5761414
"You're crazier than a soup sandwich!"
"HOW CAN YOU MAKE JOKES?! I HATE THIS SUIT! I HATE IT!!"
Makes me wonder how strong kraven will be since he’s stronger
I hope to see Harry Osborn as venom once you give Eddie Brock venom the gene cleanser
5761637
Good news
In Spider-Man life story
If Jameson gets away with it,
Gargan can simply testify against Jameson and put him in prison like in the life story annual
5761819
Nah. In this case, Gargan is too mentally unstable to do so.
5761671
Different Kraven. Different Scorpion. Spider-Man 2 rules do not apply here.
5761919
Aww
But spectacular kraven is kinda weak
Giving up his humanity to become a cat and still lose
The other Kraven’s never did that, sure they lost but still had other tricks
Comics kraven beat Peter as a human in comics in Kraven’s last hunt. (It was before Eddie became venom and Ned Leeds was killed)
Well
On the bright side
at least you’re kraven won’t be lame as ultimate kraven, a hunter with a tv show who lost to Peter with one punch.
Wait, if scorpion is too unstable to testify, wouldn’t he be sent to an insane asylum instead of prison and later be legally released?
Like ravencroft…
5761921
What makes you assume he's fully based on Spectacular? How about we just wait and see what happens? You don't even know the circumstance of WHY this Kraven transforms to begin with, nor do you fully get Scorpion's entire ordeal. Be patient and watch the tale unfold.
5761924
Sorry
Well I’m leaning towards believing he’s like animated kraven
They mentioned the voodoo serum to properly explain his strength
But sure I’ll wait
I’m actually looking forward to seeing Harry Osborn since he was mentioned
He never appeared in the older version for obvious reasons so I’m looking forward to this. The ps5 version is actually the most nicest
Also I realize the alternate sunset looks like she’s here nice. I’ve always wondered what she will be like.
5761924
Ullr and Everyone:
Thank You
Happy New Year Day

Is there going to be a map or an episode guide since Jmkplover did the art covers early?
Sting of the scorpion 🦂
5762033
Do you think Rainbow lasers can heal Harry Osborn if he got sick?
Gasp
I just realized Sunset has her geode now
If she touches Peter, she will find out he’s Spider-Man
5761671
...why Harry as Venom? Harry hasn't even been introduced to this world yet... but Eddie Brock has. And it seems like it's taking inspiration from the Spectacular Spider-Man route of the symbiote saga
...which thank god, I did not like Harry Venom...
5762273
And like spectacular, Peter will probably be smart enough to use the gene cleaner on Brock
Let me guess you watched ultimate Spider-Man animated. I can understand why you don’t.
Look Play Spider-Man 2 and you’ll see why I brought it up. I can’t do spoilers because Maximus watching

5762290
Dude
I literally said careful with the spoilers
Not many people played it here yet
Maximus is still playing
He just made it to the lizard defeat
5762292
its been more than 2 months by now... and everyone and their mothers have talked about it

5762074
Let it happen. She's practically Jean Gray now

5762292
I've made it far enough to where what Lion says isn't a spoiler.
5762296
Don't worry. I played off stream and played past Harry's fusion with Venom. The game is basically Web of Shadows now.
5762716
Just being cautious
Don’t want to ruin the fun for you
Ultimate Spider-Man comic came out

I agree with you on that
While comparing to the comics, Parker and Brock rarely ever interacted before venom came along to spice things.
5762074
Oh, shoot your right! 😲
Just a few more days until Scorpion. Looks like the Mane 6 is back. (Assuming it’s not another outdated pic).
Curious to see how this turns out, good luck to you and your story.
