The main difference between Electro and Shocker is that Electro is a dude that can become, manipulate, and produce electricity. Shocker despite his name actually uses vibrations in the air to produce shockwaves.
@@rubeng370 Main difference there is personality, both of those doppelgangers have been done wildly differently in the past but it boils down to Venom/Eddie Brock not being as batshit insane as Carnage and Hobgoblin not being as... well batshit insane as Green Goblin.

2:18 If you haven’t seen Spectacular Spider-Man (the show displayed here) DEFINITELY consider giving it a watch. It has the shame showrunner as Young Justice and it showed, as well as one of the catchiest goddamn theme songs you’ll ever hear in your life. Also yes, contrary to popular belief, Shocker and Electro have completely different power sets. Shocker uses vibrations/shock waves and Electro uses...well, it’s in the name lol. Also, Shocker is usually portrayed as a joke villain, always incompetent and bumbling (hence his catchphrase “Don’t mock the Shocker!”), kinda like the Box Ghost in Danny Phantom for example
About the pigeons, Peter lives up to his “Friendly-Neighborhood” moniker and is willing to help people who could use his aid no matter how small the task is. For instance, there’s a recent issue where someone was working on a documentary about his very small-scale heroics because Spidey gave the guy his regular clothes after he got dirty during a superhero fight on the way to his date. Even Cap himself gave Spidey his praise for his selflessness.

Actually, you don't HAVE to stop and listen to Jameson whenever he starts. If you end up cutting him off for whatever reason, there's a section in the menu that lets you go back and listen to the entire segment (as well as all past segments) whenever you want.
Well the problem with that is you HAVE to sit in the menu and listen to it, I'd much rather they not get interupted or continue playing later. Why would I want to sit in a menu to listen to something in a game about web-swinging?
Demi-Fiend of Time Eh not entirely, in the comics she is actually a mutant, though not by birth like the x-men, and has her own power, bad luck. She literally has an area around her that causes anyone she wants near her to suffer from horrible bad luck, like spidey’s web shooters inexplicably not working after she steals something and runs away.

Edit: you asked who the Amazing Bag-Man is so here goes (apologies in advance for the massive wall of text): the “Bombastic Bag-Man” suit was a costume that debuted during the Secret Wars event in the 80’s. Basically, the Fantastic 4 lent it to Peter when he was left without a suit after Reed Richards (Mr. Fantastic) separated him from the symbiote back when he first bonded with it (this was before Venom was a thing). Since the F4 don’t wear masks, Peter had to improvise with a paper bag he found. A funny detail that was unfortunately omitted in this game’s version is the “kick me” sign that Johnny Storm (Human Torch) put on the back. The suit quickly became a favorite/running gag and has remained a staple of Spider-Man videogames since the Neversoft PS1 game
Remember how people formed an angry mob because they thought we weren't getting the Raimi suit and when we did FOR FREE People had such big egos they thought the suit was made and put out because they bitched so much Good times
Yes especially since this is final video game related cameo and damn what a unintentional perfect way to go out love seeing you too together again you always were my favorites pure perfection
what i loved the most about this game was that everything was accessible. No micro traction paywalls for the suits, something many other games are guilty of. Spiderman and God of War show there is still some trustworthy game companies remaining.
Actually, most of the time Black Cat doesn't have any super powers. She's literally just a bored girl seeking thrills. When she did have powers, they were goofy 'bad luck" style powers.

The Shocker and Electro are 2 different characters... and you saw the ORIGINAL COMIC Electro in the costume party mission. It's a brilliant Easter Egg.
@@alanmooreisrasputinreincar8106 oh nice! I don't have too many favorites, but the ones I have are Soulcalibur 6, PvZ garden warfare 2, DOOM 2016, and Celeste
Tekno Pathetic I don’t really consider Spider-Man 3 a bad film It’s not great, but not awful either I have a bit of a soft spot for it, but I’m not unaware of its flaws The dance scene was cringe-worthy at worst, but still managed to get a chuckle out of me
7:51 Shocker’s power are in his suit and they’re limited to shooting energy blasts from his hands which he can use to jump high if he blasts the ground. Electro can control, channel, and manipulate electricity to perform various tasks including flying, creating energy storms (if he has a power source), traveling through power currents, etc. Basically Electro is like a living conductor while Shocker is like a thug with a bit more “oomph” to him.
I see Spiderman Ps4 as a culmination of all the best Spiderman games: Spiderman 2, Web of Shadows, Ultimate Spiderman, and Edge of Time. And it ends up as a better game for using what worked and adding new things upon it.
That games pretty good, I'd imagine he'd find it about the same as Spider-Man 2 though. It's pretty dated and certain things hold it back as a great experience, but still really good and if not for Miles Morales I'd say it was easily the 3rd or 2nd best Spider-Man game.
You could say that this Spider-Man game takes some cues from the Arkham series, but in a way you could also say that both it and the Arkham series take from the 2004 video game adaptation of the second Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie, which was the first in the series to be set in a wide open sandbox and features certain gameplay elements in common (like the web slinging and the combat), and thus the game that every subsequent Spider-Man game gets compared to.
Especially since the newest title just came out, fingers crossed that Johnny gives the Devil May Cry series a look soon... That and damn, I still want to play this game.
This game is and will probably remain my most hyped game of all time. I remember following it from the beginning and it’s the first game I’ve ever preordered. I remember literally shaking in the car ride home from picking it up. It definitely didn’t disappoint.
Just love it when Arkham is brought into the mix for every review, and all Spider-man PS2 games all simultaneously fade from original concepts and relevant existence. otherwise great vid
Alright Johnny my guess at your next marathon is Pokémon, I've seen you say a dozen times that you might go back to the series and 6-7 years ago was just about as many years ago as the last time you looked at Pokemon
Looking through his videos around 7 years ago, he did videos on NES Castlevania, Metroid, and Resident Evil. My money's on either a Resident Evil marathon, or like you said, Pokemon.
@@coolcomment8 Resident Evil WOULD make sense... But at the same time, I'm inclined to think that he would have done spiderman/KH3, THEN the RE2 remake to start off the marathon in a more fitting way
@@vivilover9409 True. I think Johnny mentioned that he reviewed RE2 since capcom sent a review copy. Otherwise, it would have been part of a RE marathon.
The reward you get for beating the game is worth But man the scorpion acid trip fight is a great display of voice acting Also: *Yuri has never killed anyone*
Agree! I watch 4 times! I never knew you watched the movie? 2:47 I always seem to trust your judgment (and Elliot and Matt as well) ever since I was 11 years old. Almost 18 now and I find myself watching you guy's on regular basis everyday. Does that mean I have no life? No, I'm breathing so I do have one.
This is a pretty fun game. And honestly, "fun," is really the best word to describe it. It's high energy, campy, silly... fun. Good review as always, Johnny.
Spectacular Spiderman is a fantastic series! I'd argue that it's the Marvel equivalent of Batman the animated series. It was so well done! (Hey Johnny has a Lilac deco!)
@@kyburn6195 well you should, it actually has the same showrunner as spectacular Spider-Man and it really shows. That's probably also why it's one of the best animated dc shows i've ever seen. And there's even a pretty great reference to his time with the web head. Anyway It's great and you should check it out.
The pigeon chases are actually really good to test your web swinging. Those guys go in so many directions and can turn on a dime. I had to really learn the web swinging if I wanted to catch them.
Dang Johnny, a little late to the party this one. I'm kidding, but in all seriousness this is the best Superhero to come out since the Arkham trilogy! I just hope we can play as Miles Morales in the sequel!
@MasterStryfe Miles isn't a knock-off, he's his own character; if you don't believe me, try reading his current comic run or watching Into the Spiderverse. Miles is so much more than just "Black Spiderman".
The Fantastic Four costume is from when Peter was stuck at the Fantastic Four headquarters with no costume, so he could webswing home undisguised. So the Human Torch gave him a spare costume and a paper bag to act as a mask.
5:40 the fantastic bagger is a reference to how in a comic Spider-Man was at the Fantastic 4 tower and didn’t have a costume so Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) gave him a lunchbag and F4 costume to wear. If you want a complete crash course on spider man, the Spider-Man encyclopedia gave me most of my knowledge.
While run of the mill, I think they really sold the story. Knowing that Octavious was going to be the main antagonist just made his friendship with Peter so much harder to watch (in a good way.) Also, I get why you didn't like the weird pauses between story missions, but personally I loved them. It created a nice bit of breathing room where you had an excuse to go do some side missions. And it just felt very... Spider-Man, you know? Swing around, chill, look for a fight to get into.
Spider-Man's snarky sense of humor may have been the inspiration for Disney's Duck Avenger and his own quips. At least, that's what I feel when I read his stories starting from the New Adventures saga. There's even a moment in the New Era series when he admits he talks a lot when he's nervous, implying that he jokes around purely to relieve the stress of crime-fighting and world-saving. It's really endearing. I love the Duck Avenger comics, and I firmly believe I have Spider-Man to thank for in inspiring his sense of humor, especially since the creators of New Adventures outright stated they were trying to "play Marvel" when they made the series.
"It's nothing that the Arkham games haven't done already." THE PAIN! THE PAIN OF THE IGNORANCE- I love ya Johnny, but please...do a Spider-marathon or something, if you knew how much history you're missing out on, you'd be kicking yourself-
In a spin-off, Tombstone has a kid, and she becomes a lawyer advocating for supervillains. She also takes control of the Sinister Six, which by that time had only four members, none of which I believe were there from the start. This is the sole reason I like Spider-Man's world, because it grows and changes throughout the years, expanding on characters who would never even get much of a backstory in other franchises.
Spiderman has been my favorite super hero since I got into heroes, and when you start the game and find out doc ock is your mentor, it made me very excited. Like you know hes gonna go bad but you cant help but start to look up to him
My favorite Marvel Super Hero Video Game, reviewed by my favorite UA-camr, and it's been uploaded on my birthday! Thank you so much Johnny for making my day even better by you uploading, keep it up!
There is a difference between Electro and Shocker. People commonly mistake the two as basically having the same gimmick due to their names, not helped by comic book artists often making Shocker look very sparky when using his tech, but the difference is that Shocker's powers don't involve electricity. He uses vibration-tech to essentially fire compressed air at you or to destroy things through vibration. I guess he just calls himself "Shocker" because "The Shaker" or "The Vibrator" don't really strike fear into people.
Context about the bag costume, long story short, Spidey had a problem that he went to the Fantastic Four to solve but it resulted in his suit being destroyed. They gave him a spare suit for his return home but because they don't have masks, Human Torch put a paper bag on his head and dubbed him the Fantastic Bagger. Now you know.
This was a really great video for me because I am pretty much the same age as you and feel 100% the same about Spider Man as you do. He's cool and all but I'm a Batman fan at the end of the day. I haven't played this game yet for the reasons you mentioned. It really did feel a little too close to the Batman games I love but just with a superhero I don't love. A great game I would recommend you trying sometime if you already haven't would be Shadow Of Mordor. I am not actually a fan of the LOTR movies or books but DAMN was this a good game and it did not stop me from enjoying this one bit. It was more or less a copy of the Batman games but it did just enough to add a few things to make it feel fresh and the fact that it was actually super violent also helped separate the two games while at the same time make the game feel more satisfying. Finally hunting down you nemesis who has been talking shit non-stop and lopping off his head in slow motion is just the best. Just too bad that the sequel dropped the ball hard. Anyway, love your content and hope to see more from you in the future. Please give Shadow of Mordor a chance one day as I would love to hear what you think about it.
2 second lesson: Shocker doesn't have powers, he has electric blasters, and his suit is made to be insulated so he doesn't shock himself, Electro was experimented on/in a freak accident and has actual powers, can even transform into electricity and "swim" through powerlines.
Man, seeing that you watched Power Rangers really makes me hope you look at some assorted Power Rangers games in the future, there's some pretty good ones out there that I think you'd find enjoyable!

The main difference between Electro and Shocker is that Electro is a dude that can become, manipulate, and produce electricity. Shocker despite his name actually uses vibrations in the air to produce shockwaves.
I think the confusion generally comes from the 90s cartoon where Shocker generates electricity not shockwaves

Venom and Carnage

Yes, I thought that was the difference!
Shocker -> Uses soundwaves/shockwaves to cause tremors as well as concussive blasts.
Electro -> Uses harnessed electricity for attacks and abilities.

@@Firetrigger2110 Oh god the thought of that is amazing. Athough at the same time I dont know it that would be a good idea. Given how... Infamous Ted can be. Even if I do feel bad over how much hate he gets.
@@jrhamari yeah, I get that. I love Gen 4, but I do agree with Ted regarding the story, the game engine speed problems, and the HMs.
He's pretty chill though. When I met him at Momocon last year he signed my copy of Platinum. We joked about the game and the thought of John playing Pokemon Coliseum for the next marathon, since that game is seen as the "edgie the hedgie" of the series.
This game really makes you FEEL like Bat- Spider Man

Yuri is such a good actor. He pulls of the fun-loving dude PERSONA really well. I mean, he did an amazing job voicing Yosuke Hanamura all of those times, after all.
I can't believe Spider-Man PS4 predicted the coronavirus
I stopped watching hentai on the toilet for this. It better be worth it!
It doesn't even look like hentai, it just looks like People Magazine with pictures of Spider-Man's face pasted on it.
TMI.
This is totally worth it
I mean, Black Cat's here, so...yeah. I'd say it's worth it.
Black Cat has a nice ass
The Shocker and Electro are 2 different characters... and you saw the ORIGINAL COMIC Electro in the costume party mission. It's a brilliant Easter Egg.
I loved the Spider-Man PS4 game and I am glad that Insomniac Games was put in charged of this and as a Ratchet & Clank fan they did an amazing job

YAY my favourite reviewer talking about one of my favourite games
Do you have any other favorite games?
@@IamaPERSON plenty
@@alanmooreisrasputinreincar8106 like what?
@@IamaPERSON the infamous games, megaman zx, freedom planet, sonic adventure 1, Mario Odyssey, breath of the wild and golden sun to name a few
@@alanmooreisrasputinreincar8106 oh nice! I don't have too many favorites, but the ones I have are Soulcalibur 6, PvZ garden warfare 2, DOOM 2016, and Celeste
"Its for the wrong reasons"
People still dont get that the dance and pie scenes were meant to be funny? Its a bad film but cmon
Tekno Pathetic I don’t really consider Spider-Man 3 a bad film
It’s not great, but not awful either
I have a bit of a soft spot for it, but I’m not unaware of its flaws
The dance scene was cringe-worthy at worst, but still managed to get a chuckle out of me
@@CrasherX2000 The dance scene was supposed to be cringe-worthy, that was the point
Fuck you Spider-Man 3 is awesome.
I saw Spider verse in theaters 3 times as well, you have good taste Johnny

Shocker’s power are in his suit and they’re limited to shooting energy blasts from his hands which he can use to jump high if he blasts the ground.
Electro can control, channel, and manipulate electricity to perform various tasks including flying, creating energy storms (if he has a power source), traveling through power currents, etc.
Basically Electro is like a living conductor while Shocker is like a thug with a bit more “oomph” to him.
Easily one of the best PS4 games overall.
AND! The Best Spider-Man Game to date. No offense Spider-Man 2 Movie Game you did your job fine enough.
I see Spiderman Ps4 as a culmination of all the best Spiderman games: Spiderman 2, Web of Shadows, Ultimate Spiderman, and Edge of Time. And it ends up as a better game for using what worked and adding new things upon it.
SwordgunnerM92 you mean THE best not one of right
Then Devil May Cry 5 came along and Dethroned Spider-Man
P5 and monster hunter also many more say I feel like we been here before.
Johnny should try out the excellent Ultimate Spider-man game for gamecube, ps2 and xbox
That games pretty good, I'd imagine he'd find it about the same as Spider-Man 2 though. It's pretty dated and certain things hold it back as a great experience, but still really good and if not for Miles Morales I'd say it was easily the 3rd or 2nd best Spider-Man game.
WHAT IS A SLICER DOING ON YOUR WALL?
He hunted one down, gutted it, and mounted it on his wall as a trophy....
Or a fan got it for him. It's one or the other, I'm sure
Or a fan went out and gutted it

This will help pass the time at work, this was personally my 2018 GOTY hope you enjoyed it just as much
Ann May’s death is a much ‘MUCH’ better sad moment than Spider-Man One More Day!
Speaking of which, I really hope that deal with mephisto gets reversed
You could say that this Spider-Man game takes some cues from the Arkham series, but in a way you could also say that both it and the Arkham series take from the 2004 video game adaptation of the second Sam Raimi Spider-Man movie, which was the first in the series to be set in a wide open sandbox and features certain gameplay elements in common (like the web slinging and the combat), and thus the game that every subsequent Spider-Man game gets compared to.
😂😂 12:38 Had Me Dying of Laughter!! 👌🏾💯 Goofey Scream
Who knew Taskmaster was good at human soccer.
I was literally saying to myself “There’s a new SomecallmeJohnny video coming today” and I KNEW IT
Taskmaster has the ability to predict his opponent’s moves. It’s like a super enhanced photographic memory.
Especially since the newest title just came out, fingers crossed that Johnny gives the Devil May Cry series a look soon...
That and damn, I still want to play this game.
i like the new intro bro, the old one blasted my ears out!!! lol
Do All the Devil May Cry Games Please
(Edit) i spelt things wrong
even in the edit, you spelled something wrong brother
@@Mickho-yc9lu awe shiz
I agree, it's about time we get those juicy DMC reviews :P
This game is and will probably remain my most hyped game of all time. I remember following it from the beginning and it’s the first game I’ve ever preordered. I remember literally shaking in the car ride home from picking it up. It definitely didn’t disappoint.
I think we're getting a Pokemon Marathon, Can't wait if so
Just love it when Arkham is brought into the mix for every review, and all Spider-man PS2 games all simultaneously fade from original concepts and relevant existence.
otherwise great vid
12:37 Insert Goofy yell.
Finally!your talking about a spider man game!Also love your new intro
Alright Johnny my guess at your next marathon is Pokémon, I've seen you say a dozen times that you might go back to the series and 6-7 years ago was just about as many years ago as the last time you looked at Pokemon
Looking through his videos around 7 years ago, he did videos on NES Castlevania, Metroid, and Resident Evil. My money's on either a Resident Evil marathon, or like you said, Pokemon.
@@coolcomment8 Resident Evil WOULD make sense... But at the same time, I'm inclined to think that he would have done spiderman/KH3, THEN the RE2 remake to start off the marathon in a more fitting way
@@vivilover9409 True. I think Johnny mentioned that he reviewed RE2 since capcom sent a review copy. Otherwise, it would have been part of a RE marathon.
@@coolcomment8 ohhh, right! Forgot about that
7:52 THANK YOU FOR REMEMBERING THIS SCENE
The adventure continues. Pokémon maybe?
I swear if I’m right I get a virtual cookie.
Finally! I’m so happy you’re covering this!
The reward you get for beating the game is worth
But man the scorpion acid trip fight is a great display of voice acting
Also: *Yuri has never killed anyone*
Agree! I watch 4 times! I never knew you watched the movie? 2:47 I always seem to trust your judgment (and Elliot and Matt as well) ever since I was 11 years old. Almost 18 now and I find myself watching you guy's on regular basis everyday. Does that mean I have no life? No, I'm breathing so I do have one.
Yuri Lowenthall actually voices Marth which is great
And Sasuke Uchiha
And Cecil in FF4
And Alucard!
and Luke
And Yosuke Hanamura in Persona 4. Lets just say he is in a lot. Also I will say, Yuri is hands down the best voice actor for Spider Man in my opinion.
This is a pretty fun game. And honestly, "fun," is really the best word to describe it. It's high energy, campy, silly... fun. Good review as always, Johnny.
Spectacular Spiderman is a fantastic series! I'd argue that it's the Marvel equivalent of Batman the animated series. It was so well done!
(Hey Johnny has a Lilac deco!)
Nah, i think that would be x-men. I would compare it more to teen titans (original, obviously) or young justice.
@@Sophie_the_Sapphic I sadly never watched Young Justice so I can't compare it. :(
@@kyburn6195 well you should, it actually has the same showrunner as spectacular Spider-Man and it really shows. That's probably also why it's one of the best animated dc shows i've ever seen. And there's even a pretty great reference to his time with the web head. Anyway It's great and you should check it out.
@@Sophie_the_Sapphic well now I have a new series to watch! Thanks!

The pigeon chases are actually really good to test your web swinging. Those guys go in so many directions and can turn on a dime. I had to really learn the web swinging if I wanted to catch them.
SHOCKKEERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
Also I predict the next marathon is a handheld Zelda marathon or something

The moment that I gave this video a thumbs up.
One of my favorite superhero game ever.
This game is just everything you could want out of a Spider-Man game.
I love the fact that the guy that played Spider-Man/Peter Parker also played teenage Ben 10/Ben Tennyson.
RIP Futon.
Died under the gurff of Elliots non-ass
I was gonna take a nap after coming home from work, but that can wait, because it's Johnny time.
You could say this game really makes you FEEL like you can do whatever a Spider can 😁👌
Nathaniel Foga *say
A Johnny video on my 21st birthday, and it’s Spider-Man, too! Bless you, Johnny.
Dang Johnny, a little late to the party this one.
I'm kidding, but in all seriousness this is the best Superhero to come out since the Arkham trilogy!
I just hope we can play as Miles Morales in the sequel!
@MasterStryfe I'm sorry, but what do you mean?
@MasterStryfe Miles isn't a knock-off, he's his own character; if you don't believe me, try reading his current comic run or watching Into the Spiderverse. Miles is so much more than just "Black Spiderman".
@MasterStryfe What are you saying? None of that has ever happened in his comics.
The Fantastic Four costume is from when Peter was stuck at the Fantastic Four headquarters with no costume, so he could webswing home undisguised. So the Human Torch gave him a spare costume and a paper bag to act as a mask.
This game made me buy a PS4. It was definately worth it.
The face on that Black Cat character is absolute insanity. If you showed me that when I was twelve I would have called you a demon.
“The adventure continues”
-John Pokémon ?
5:40 the fantastic bagger is a reference to how in a comic Spider-Man was at the Fantastic 4 tower and didn’t have a costume so Johnny Storm (The Human Torch) gave him a lunchbag and F4 costume to wear.
If you want a complete crash course on spider man, the Spider-Man encyclopedia gave me most of my knowledge.
While run of the mill, I think they really sold the story. Knowing that Octavious was going to be the main antagonist just made his friendship with Peter so much harder to watch (in a good way.)
Also, I get why you didn't like the weird pauses between story missions, but personally I loved them. It created a nice bit of breathing room where you had an excuse to go do some side missions. And it just felt very... Spider-Man, you know? Swing around, chill, look for a fight to get into.
Spider-Man's snarky sense of humor may have been the inspiration for Disney's Duck Avenger and his own quips. At least, that's what I feel when I read his stories starting from the New Adventures saga. There's even a moment in the New Era series when he admits he talks a lot when he's nervous, implying that he jokes around purely to relieve the stress of crime-fighting and world-saving. It's really endearing. I love the Duck Avenger comics, and I firmly believe I have Spider-Man to thank for in inspiring his sense of humor, especially since the creators of New Adventures outright stated they were trying to "play Marvel" when they made the series.
Btw if you go to the pizza shop and wait, you can hear the ps2 spider man 2 pizza time song
"It's nothing that the Arkham games haven't done already."
THE PAIN! THE PAIN OF THE IGNORANCE-
I love ya Johnny, but please...do a Spider-marathon or something, if you knew how much history you're missing out on, you'd be kicking yourself-

In a spin-off, Tombstone has a kid, and she becomes a lawyer advocating for supervillains. She also takes control of the Sinister Six, which by that time had only four members, none of which I believe were there from the start. This is the sole reason I like Spider-Man's world, because it grows and changes throughout the years, expanding on characters who would never even get much of a backstory in other franchises.
Fantastic review as always John 👍, your literally my favorite video game reviewer on UA-cam.
Spiderman has been my favorite super hero since I got into heroes, and when you start the game and find out doc ock is your mentor, it made me very excited. Like you know hes gonna go bad but you cant help but start to look up to him
I need to play this game :D
Props to johnny for basically saying "this game makes you feel like spiderman" without actually saying it.
ARE WE GETTING A DEVIL MAY CRY MARATHON?!
My favorite Marvel Super Hero Video Game, reviewed by my favorite UA-camr, and it's been uploaded on my birthday! Thank you so much Johnny for making my day even better by you uploading, keep it up!
12:38 lmao!!!!
There is a difference between Electro and Shocker. People commonly mistake the two as basically having the same gimmick due to their names, not helped by comic book artists often making Shocker look very sparky when using his tech, but the difference is that Shocker's powers don't involve electricity. He uses vibration-tech to essentially fire compressed air at you or to destroy things through vibration. I guess he just calls himself "Shocker" because "The Shaker" or "The Vibrator" don't really strike fear into people.
It’s my B day! Lets GO! Take a shot every time you hear
“Web slinger”
Context about the bag costume, long story short, Spidey had a problem that he went to the Fantastic Four to solve but it resulted in his suit being destroyed.
They gave him a spare suit for his return home but because they don't have masks, Human Torch put a paper bag on his head and dubbed him the Fantastic Bagger.
Now you know.
I just want to know what he thinks of spider-man Ps1.
This was a really great video for me because I am pretty much the same age as you and feel 100% the same about Spider Man as you do. He's cool and all but I'm a Batman fan at the end of the day. I haven't played this game yet for the reasons you mentioned. It really did feel a little too close to the Batman games I love but just with a superhero I don't love.
A great game I would recommend you trying sometime if you already haven't would be Shadow Of Mordor. I am not actually a fan of the LOTR movies or books but DAMN was this a good game and it did not stop me from enjoying this one bit. It was more or less a copy of the Batman games but it did just enough to add a few things to make it feel fresh and the fact that it was actually super violent also helped separate the two games while at the same time make the game feel more satisfying. Finally hunting down you nemesis who has been talking shit non-stop and lopping off his head in slow motion is just the best. Just too bad that the sequel dropped the ball hard.
Anyway, love your content and hope to see more from you in the future. Please give Shadow of Mordor a chance one day as I would love to hear what you think about it.
Never expected you to get to this game , but this is still a awesome surprise 😁👌
2 second lesson: Shocker doesn't have powers, he has electric blasters, and his suit is made to be insulated so he doesn't shock himself, Electro was experimented on/in a freak accident and has actual powers, can even transform into electricity and "swim" through powerlines.
Just finished 100%ing it and got the platinum trophy for it
Man, seeing that you watched Power Rangers really makes me hope you look at some assorted Power Rangers games in the future, there's some pretty good ones out there that I think you'd find enjoyable!
Funny enough Power Rangers was inspired by The Japanese version of Spider-Man
Super sentai was inspired by the live action Spider-Man not power rangers
@@satyamSaha Isn't Power Rangers just American Super Sentai?
Half correct. It’s actually the concept of the Giant Robots with the SENTAI teams that Supaidaman inspired
YAY YEAH YEAAAAAH! *WOW!*
fuckin love this new version of the intro theme
I been following your channel almost a decade dude - im glad to see you didn't just stick around but hit the upgrade button with a hammer many times - good shit man
