YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD SPIDER-MAN's Final Swing Might Be Better Than Anything We've Seen In The MCU

Footage of the wall-crawler's final swing in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is receiving a lot of love and may be better than anything we've seen in the live-action MCU. We also have a new poster!

Spider-Man is in safe hands with Marvel Studios but, in an effort to differentiate this web-slinger from those played by Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield, some much-loved aspects of the character haven't really found their way into the MCU.

We've seen Tom Holland's Peter Parker protect Queens, battle Mysterio in London, and team up with his Variants at the Statue of Liberty. However, it wasn't until Spider-Man: No Way Home that fans got a "final swing" through Manhattan...and even that was shorter than most would like. 

Chances are Spider-Man 4 will change things, but in the season finale of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man (you can read a full breakdown of all the biggest moments and spoilers here), we get a truly spectacular final swing.

In fact, this is arguably better than anything we've seen in the MCU to date and Marvel Studios might want to take its cues from the series for web-slinging in general. 

With Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings director Destin Daniel Cretton at the helm, impressive visuals will surely be a given. Still, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man has surprised many fans with just how great it is and will now be a tough act to follow. 

Check out a clip featuring Spidey's swing and a new poster for the series below.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming a hero, with a journey unlike we've ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots.

The talented voice cast includes Hudson Thames, Colman Domingo, Eugene Byrd, Grace Song, Zeno Robinson, Hugh Dancy and Charlie Cox.

The head writer is Jeff Trammell and Mel Zwyer is the supervising director. Brad Winderbaum, Kevin Feige, Louis D’Esposito, Dana Vasquez-Eberhardt and Trammell serve as executive producers.

In our review of the series, we concluded by saying, "Amazing, spectacular, and downright astonishing - Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man exceeds every expectation and is a true love letter to the world's greatest superhero...the end result is the ultimate Spider-Man TV series."

All episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man are now streaming on Disney+.

I wish I could say this was a good start but the inconsistencies and dog water animation is holding it back imo

@bobevanz -

The worst problem is the race swapping.

And Harry looking like Harriet.

And this looking like the future that liberals want.

@MakeAmericaGrea - genuinely asking, how does harry and Norman being black, Asian, Mexican, etc... affect their character? How does making them white make this story nay better? Also why cant you just accept that this is not your spider man it is from a different reality and doesn't have the same character like in the movies or comics...

@BatmanBeenDrinking - Amen, I've been advocating for a white black panther.
BatmanBeenDrinking
BatmanBeenDrinking - 2/19/2025, 5:19 PM
@captainwalker - lol big difference is that black panther being black actually plays to the characters traits, history, and stories... that like making red skull black, it just wouldn't make sense since his race/skin color is slightly defined by his history and background.

captainwalker - 2/19/2025, 6:18 PM
@BatmanBeenDrinking - Good point, that explanation could be used against the casting of a latino Snow White. In my opinion the studios simply regurgitate existing characters as different ethnicities to entice audiences due to the lack of their creative story writing talent.

BatmanBeenDrinking - 2/19/2025, 7:18 PM
@captainwalker - completely agree! I am mexican and I hate that casting. In the book it clearly says something along the lines of and with skin as white as snow. plus it is a germin fairytale lol

Glad to see the positive reception of it. Bring on more quality content!

I will check it out eventually but not in a huge rush. Doubt we'll get the 90s Spider-man back in his own series anytime soon

@ItsNotForMeWahh - Mr. Avocado- CHECK THIS ONE OUT ASAP. It's the best show on TV right now. I can't wait to read your thoughts.

It took Tom Holland's Spider-Man a solo movie trilogy and three Avengers movies (including Civil War) to get to where he was at the end of NWH.

YFNSM already there.

@ObserverIO - Now watch how all that character development hits different when next see him

@KwisatzHaderach - Most likely will be massive, epic multiversey thing with shoe-horned character moments that make no sense when you think about them. Maybe he'll even learn that with great power comes great responsibility this time, lol. Again.

That’s cool , I especially like him doing it in the bright lights of the city…

However I think I enjoy the FFH and especially NWH final swing more (the latter probably my favorite of the 3 so far)!!.

The animation needs a vast improvement. It’s pretty bad, especially during fight scenes.
MakeAmericaGrea
MakeAmericaGrea - 2/19/2025, 2:47 PM
I don't believe anyone who says that was super great.

It was fine and we've seen that kind of thing before.

This show is still racist and Marxist commie leftie trash.

@MakeAmericaGrea - Well.....kinda.

I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this show.
The art style takes some time getting used to (should preferably have been 2D) but by the 3rd episode I hardly noticed..
And to be honest, I had the same thoughts about “spectacular” when I first watched that ages ago.

The 90’s show and spectacular are still my favourites, but this is miles better than anything we have gotten since Marvel got the animation rights back.

I will definitely be watching the next season(s).

I'm not saying this is the best or my favorite, but I saw this moment on TV about a week ago and liked it again.

It is a really well put together show. From the art style, voice acting (Cox's was the only one that didn't set right with my ears) and the writing. I grew up with the 90s cartoon. I don't know if I'm in the demographic for this show but I really do appreciate and like this show.

I thought the show was fine, final swing was great! Loved how much they used his webs in his fights. That’s something we only really saw briefly in each version of Spider-Man in their respected films. This show really played into it and it was beautifully done. Hopefully Spider-Man 4 uses more of his web shooters this time around.
