'Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man' Is Just The Reset The MCU Needs
Briefly

Spider-Man's portrayal in Marvel's Cinematic Universe has been a journey of mixed success, with Tom Holland's character often sidelined by veteran heroes. This has left fans longing for the iconic rogue's gallery traditionally associated with Spider-Man, which remains absent due to Sony's rights constraints. However, the new series, "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man," aims to reconnect with the character's origins without redoing them entirely. Set within a broader multiverse context, it seeks to engage with past Spider-Man narratives while providing a fresh perspective on the hero.
The MCU's Spidey rarely gets the chance to stand on his own; in each solo outing, he shares the spotlight with more seasoned heroes or villains.
Spider-Man has the greatest and most iconic villain roster in the Marvel Universe, but Marvel's obligation to Sony has kept them frustratingly on the sidelines.
Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man brings the hero back to his roots and explores an alternative approach to his legacy without a traditional reboot.
The series engages directly with Spidey stories past, making it a fresh addition to the ongoing conversation in Spider-Man’s multiverse.
