I found it interesting that half the Sinister Six were nothing to Kraven, but the fricking Shocker gave him a lasting impression as a nearly-worthy opponent.
When Peter said he needs to find the sleeping Hunter to "modify" the meal for Dima... I genuinely thought he was saying "this tiger deserves an even tastier meal, let's FEED HIM AN ENTIRE PERSON"
Imagine Spider-Man swinging into a crime scene, sobbing like a baby because he had some other adventure with a friend off screen. "Hey, Spider-Man, these art thieves are getting away with... Woah, are you okay?" "I'm fine, it's just... Pigeons..." "What?"

"We cant parry-makes sense. We couldn't in the first game, and this is sooner" Love the implication that getting socked that one time by Miles is what finally got Peter to consider blocking a punch after 24 years Also, for someone treated like a butt monkey so often, I'm glad Shocker was the only one of the old villains that really put up a good fight against Kraven.
it makes sense imo! usually hes just fighting for money or whatever, but kraven actually made him fight for his life, of course hed fight harder than ever
I like to think one day Peter was just doing some training with Miles and the following exchange happened. Peter: "So when someone tries to hit you, always at least try to dodge it got it?" Miles: "What if I blocked it?" Peter: "...Miles I'm old, what does "blocked it" mean?"

"In fact, I have some ideas about how you can use your new black suit to spice things up in--" "DAD, PLEASE! Thank you, but that's a little TOO supportive."
I love that Miles's side missions focus on giving back to his community. The creators continue to appeal to his strengths as a character from his previous game and differentiate him more from Peter, whose missions may be crazier or larger in scope. "Find a trumpet" vs "Lure out and capture a lizard monster".
I have to mention one of the things I noticef Dr. Connors doing while they were going after the serum, and that was listing off things he could see and feel, presumably to keep himself grounded. Like, holy shit, they thought this through super thoroughly (which, of COURSE they did) but like, it just adds another layer to this that I think is fun.
Fun fact with the Marko memories: Peter and Miles will actually have different commentary dialogue if you do them before you have fully found out about the Hunters, mostly wondering what kind of lunatic would provoke Sandman on purpose.
i don't usually care much about spidergame plots (if swing=yay) but i was really like LET TOMBSTONE GO!! HE MET HIS PAROLE QUALIFICATIONS YOU MONSTERS!! i was thinking about tombstone since the last vid. let that big felon live his life
31:08 This is literally two best friends being superheroes together; one of them is a full-fledged veteran guiding the other in his first time. Such a cute moment.
My joy was just about on the same level as hers when I played this game immediately after the countdown finished! 😁 This is everything I hoped for as a Spidey fan.
"Man, that heartfelt novel about a young adult moving on from loss made me cry right there in the library. Well, anyway, time to reread that Spidey fanfic I wrote in high school!"
I'm usually just a vodhead, but for this game, I have been checking the vod directly on Twitch. So just wanna say, when Penny says hi to the vodheads (when she begins the recording) a lot of people in chat say hi too. We don't see the chat in VODs so I thought I would pass on the message ^^
that howard mission just further cements this version of spiderman as my favorite. he's everything good about the character done perfectly. now to save up 500 dollars for a ps5.
That howard sequence was beautiful, made me cry just watching it. Really felt like it could be a classic comic issue of our freindly neighbourhood spiderman And i wanna say how much i appreciate the vibes of this playthrough, Penny just gets when to talk and what to say. Unemployed uni student cant afford a ps5 but this game seems amazing, so this playthrough means a lot
What happened At 41:20 is one of my biggest gripes with the game. And the lack of an archive stings because it does it quite often if you run into side content. Fly across Prowler Stash? Podcast Ends. Fly over a Mysterium as Peter? Podcast Ends. It's Aggravating. I missed on some because of this. The comment of "Why didn't you stand still?" I'M FREAKING SPIDER-MAN, I shouldn't need to stand still to just listen to JJJ or Danika if I wanted to? If there's no Archive for these podcasts, Don't allow the game to cut it off at any point at random. I'm Sorry I don't listen to podcasts standing still in my day to day life.
@@zacharyyoung9646 Literally sounds like what a more stereotypical New Yorker would say. "Peter, why didn't you wait to hear the podcast-" "I'M FRIKKIN' SPIDAH-MAN! This is New York, I ain't got time sittin' around fah dis thing!"
just had the coolest moment watching this stream while doing some work and seeing not only what was supposed to be the building i was currently in, but actually seeing my irl view. really surreal. this game is so cool
@@deniedred It's similar particularly in regard to popular landmark areas, though very condensed, and buildings/streets arent exact. I was in a building overlooking washington square at the time, so in the scene where peter biked through it i think i could see the entrance he would have used out the window! pretty sure that building was ousted by the daily bugle though lol
I love that the park in the saxophone side mission is one of the fisk hideouts from the first game. Showing how Spider-Man really is having a positive impact on the community. Without Peter shutting down Fisk Construction, it woulda been a convenience store or something.
That little discussion at 3:54:38 is something I like to call "The Goro Akechi Phenomenon" even if he wasnt the first case he is most prominent example of this occurrence to me
I honestly love the focus on rehabilitated former baddies honestly. Its a good way to organically point out WHY Kraven is bad for hunting supervillians. People can change and get better and just murdering them robs them of that chance.
Yeah, love how they expanded on what the guy said in the mission introducing the team, the whole “he picked me up after he saw the potential in me” or whatever he said. I might be crazy but I thought I heard one with a more American or English accent in the part 2 stream
Thank you so much for doing Howard’s mission. I’ve been looking around wanting to see other peoples reactions and you’re the only one that I’ve seen so far play it and you reacted the same way I did great mission. Great story, RIP pigeon master Howard.
Virtual Hero V-Ranger reacted about the same and it made me genuinely think that I was watching the same mission played twice. She and Penny are very different streamers so I guess it might just be a mark of that scene’s quality that such different people reacted in the same way
Howard in the first game: "Ugh, god, it's that annoying pigeon mission." Howard in the second game: "Hey, it's Howard again! Hey buddy!" Howard in the third game: "HOWARDDDDDDDD"
I think my favorite quests are the ones where Spiderman (regardless if it’s Miles or Peter) are the ones where he does something for his community. Like finding someone’s papa, getting music equipment for a community museum, or even finding places for birds to live. I just think it’s sweet
@@archivist_13 I don't remember the reason the suit was originally weak to fire but in Official Marvel Lore™️ the symbiotes were forged like a sword by their god and so they fear the fire and clanging sounds of the hammer. Or something like that? Admittedly its been a while since I read the comics
a lot of them prioritise chat and donations over the game sometimes, numerous times have I witnessed multiple streamers fail to grasp basic things shoved in their faces because of ignoring it for chat, and then getting mad at the game.@@centromeda
That Harlem Cultural centre mission arc is probs one of my favourite from what you've played so far. Love to see a game give some time and attention to arts and culture like that.
man some of the side missions in this game really give some beautiful moments, and they give this game a real sense that spiderman is a real part of the community and how important he is on a more personal scale
Before when peter got surrounded by hordes of enemys hed laugh it off with puns and jokes or just be slightly annoyed with how many people there are, but with the suit he basically says everything hes feeling and with all Kravens done in the few days he's arrived and how much hes almost succeeded, Id say its fair how pissed off Pete is
You know, I was literally wondering after watching the other parts if Penny was going to switch the thumbnail to one wearing the black suit when she got it, and I am honestly happy she did!
seeing Spider-Man Noir given proper justice as a costume in the game is fucking awesome for me since he's been my personal favorite alternate Spider-Man
Yo, im starting to think the theme of Kraven’s storyline is to oppose the idea of capital punishment; that the narrow perspective of villains capable of reform - proven or otherwise - as nothing more than predators is vicious, and only continues a cycle of cruelty.
I was watching the vod and at 5:40:00 I stated ''You're a good spider, Man-Spider'''. So imagine the horror when I hear Penny state the exact same thing at 5:40:05. Edit: I realised that Penny did not infact state that Man-Spider was a good spider but instead a good man.I apologise profusely for the mix-up.
19 minutes in and the game makes you feel so much like Spider-Man that Penny is now reading Peter Parker as her own name. Also, I really didn't expect them to kill off so many villains here. It's actually pretty insane how many members of Spider-Man's rogues gallery are killed off-screen in this game. I have to say though, this whole thing of "Kraven has recruited the greatest hunters from around the world to his cause, but also MJ Watson and a few rocks is enough to take them down" is a bit hard to believe. You're telling me that these expert hunters hear a noise and just blindly wander towards it?
The developers definitely tried their best but she's right about the comic sfx, they should've addeded them to more parts of the game where they should've been.
Dunno if you found them all yet, but there’s a tech upgrade that lets you see tech caches on your minimap. The thing the game doesn’t tell you though is that it also shows Spider-bots
The aftermath of the art theft mission is just a party with the theme of "black history is awesome, and fuck Darren". Oh, hey, Gabriel Jones! That's a deep cut from Marvel.
I'm always so thankful for your VOD's, Penny! With work I can't always watch when you're streaming but it's so nice to be able to watch after the fact when I'm off! Your laughter is genuinely one of my favorites and seeing you so excited over this game makes me so happy! I've been playing whenever I can and it's cool to also watch along as the story unfolds with you too! I appreciate all you do!!
Stupid Insomniac making me feel things. Howard somehow became one of my favourite characters in the first two games, and when the music kicked in, and the flock was getting released, I knew what was happening. After the side quest was over, I took a ten minute break to just cry. R.I.P Howard, king of pigeons. He didn’t deserve a house, he deserved a castle.
it takes a lot to make me cry, I rarely ever do. but the scene with Howard got me crying so much the first time I played it, and surprisingly I cried again during this video. It is bittersweet and true to life. being grounded in reality so well really makes it hit harder
I love that Penny (hope that it's the right spelling) can pull off a really good impression of the enemies from the spiderman 1 movie game as that has been the spiderman game of my child hood
1:53:50 Not onlu did Parker make it in time, but his nose was bleeding. That told Jonah he most likely: A: Got into an accident, and keep on, as Jonah put it, "Pushing through." Or B: He somehow managed to get into a fistfight during a bikeride. Both of which made Parker more of a New-Yorker in Jonah's eyes.
Both Grandpa Earl and Howard made me sob. Those missions were beautifully done, and the Howard one was just an amazing love note to such a great side-character. And it's wild to think that it was just created as part of a coding jam that Insomniac held to create a fun mission.
That howard sequence was beautiful, made mw cey just watching it. Really felt like it could be a classic comic issue of our freindly neighbourhood spiderman
Now Penny has to act rude and like a total b*tch to her subscribers to stay in character and tell ‘em she’ll throw some dirt in peoples eyes while she’ll chase shocker to the ends of the earth to face her EMO DANCE!!
The funny thing about the spiderbots and them being part of the multiverse: This universe is ALREADY part of the movie, they show the "Insomniac Spiderman" in the cages scene from Across the Spiderverse. It would be totally reasonable to make it a spiderverse thing
After seeing her playthrough of web of shadows, I hope Penny enjoys the black suit in this game. She didn’t seem to enjoy playing the black suit at all in WoS
Usually the black suit/symbiote arcs in Spider-Man adaptations are some of my favorite parts actually haha, Web of Shadows frustrates me purely in its own special ways.
older stream but the red and black color schemes are references to the original Ditko suit, before they brightened the red and turned the black to blue! funny enough, i don't love the Ditko suit in the comics but i love when the color scheme is transplanted onto other suits like the advanced 2.0!!!!
Penny, you have no idea how much I would scream if they had the Skulls gang show up as a generic gang you fight in the next game, and have them say those same half a dozen lines whenever you start a fight.
Hella late to this but I just wanted to say I really enjoy your analysis and commentary as you play games! Your perspective as someone who’s played many spidey games and as a spidey fan. I’m really interested in media analysis and it’s fun to hear your thought process.
I found it interesting that half the Sinister Six were nothing to Kraven, but the fricking Shocker gave him a lasting impression as a nearly-worthy opponent.
Yeah tbh I find it pretty ridiculous how he downplays electro, who is one of spidey’s op villains which is interesting nonetheless.
He chased him to the ends of the Earth
SHOCKERRRRR
@@DarkClassicGamerYea but like a couple other of Spidey’s op villains he’s held back by his overinflated ego and just being a dumbass most of the time
It's a surprisingly respectful send off for him, considering he's usually just seen as the "middle class struggling to make ends meet supervillain"
5:56:30 hailey signs for "spider-man" by doing the web shooting hand motion oh my god thats precious 🥺🥺
Ganke even did the webbing hand motion for Spider-Man as well. That’s becoming pretty much the sign language term whenever they talk about Spider-Man.
When Peter said he needs to find the sleeping Hunter to "modify" the meal for Dima...

a lot of them prioritise chat and donations over the game sometimes, numerous times have I witnessed multiple streamers fail to grasp basic things shoved in their faces because of ignoring it for chat, and then getting mad at the game.@@centromeda
@@centromedamy joke was phrased very poorly
i love how the player is part of it, you get so used to the cool upgrades you don't want to let it go either
That Harlem Cultural centre mission arc is probs one of my favourite from what you've played so far. Love to see a game give some time and attention to arts and culture like that.
Fun fact: Trapster is the current alias of famed Spider-Man villain PASTE POT PETE!!!
hoping my boy Paste Pot Pete or The Wall will appear in Spider-Man 3, if Big Wheel can get numerous references they can too
@@Delta21OnYTEven Hydro Man, alias Morris Bench, is referenced at Coney Island with the Hydro Bench.
I love the riffing between Pete and Harry while yall are getting Conners to the lab. God this game is SO GOOD
man some of the side missions in this game really give some beautiful moments, and they give this game a real sense that spiderman is a real part of the community and how important he is on a more personal scale
Before when peter got surrounded by hordes of enemys hed laugh it off with puns and jokes or just be slightly annoyed with how many people there are, but with the suit he basically says everything hes feeling and with all Kravens done in the few days he's arrived and how much hes almost succeeded, Id say its fair how pissed off Pete is
I'm usually not a big VOD watcher, for anyone, but gods above do I love watching Penny's VOD's
You know, I was literally wondering after watching the other parts if Penny was going to switch the thumbnail to one wearing the black suit when she got it, and I am honestly happy she did!
Not only that, it appears that she is adding more and more of the black tendrils. Amazing touch!
@@dradencake3199 the last one should be her in the end game suit vs you know who
Shocker really fought with everything he had to make the meme come true, what a legend.
seeing Spider-Man Noir given proper justice as a costume in the game is fucking awesome for me since he's been my personal favorite alternate Spider-Man
Yo, im starting to think the theme of Kraven’s storyline is to oppose the idea of capital punishment; that the narrow perspective of villains capable of reform - proven or otherwise - as nothing more than predators is vicious, and only continues a cycle of cruelty.
That's a cool take
I'm loving how many spider people they're putting into this one, like we got a whole ass troupe (for now?). Still hoping and pleading for Gwen
Me and my friend came up with an idea for Insomniac Gwen that we were really proud of, definitely going to draw her one day
I was watching the vod and at 5:40:00 I stated ''You're a good spider, Man-Spider'''. So imagine the horror when I hear Penny state the exact same thing at 5:40:05.
Edit: I realised that Penny did not infact state that Man-Spider was a good spider but instead a good man.I apologise profusely for the mix-up.
I didnt notice until the end of haileys section but spider-man in sign being the thwip hand motion is so fucking cute
Peter Parker and his Performance Enhancing Goop are going crazy
19 minutes in and the game makes you feel so much like Spider-Man that Penny is now reading Peter Parker as her own name.
Also, I really didn't expect them to kill off so many villains here. It's actually pretty insane how many members of Spider-Man's rogues gallery are killed off-screen in this game. I have to say though, this whole thing of "Kraven has recruited the greatest hunters from around the world to his cause, but also MJ Watson and a few rocks is enough to take them down" is a bit hard to believe. You're telling me that these expert hunters hear a noise and just blindly wander towards it?
The developers definitely tried their best but she's right about the comic sfx, they should've addeded them to more parts of the game where they should've been.
It’s disorienting to me moving at a different frame rate than the rest of the world
@@Broomer52then just turn it off?
@@zappy2000 I did, I’m just mentioning it as a criticism for the feature in the first place
The amount of times a spider bot ping is just out of frame hurts me, I need to know what they're cooking with these
Dunno if you found them all yet, but there’s a tech upgrade that lets you see tech caches on your minimap. The thing the game doesn’t tell you though is that it also shows Spider-bots
Penny's whole segment in the music museum reminded me how much I like jazz, definitely need to check it out again
The aftermath of the art theft mission is just a party with the theme of "black history is awesome, and fuck Darren".
Oh, hey, Gabriel Jones! That's a deep cut from Marvel.
I'm always so thankful for your VOD's, Penny! With work I can't always watch when you're streaming but it's so nice to be able to watch after the fact when I'm off! Your laughter is genuinely one of my favorites and seeing you so excited over this game makes me so happy! I've been playing whenever I can and it's cool to also watch along as the story unfolds with you too! I appreciate all you do!!
Stupid Insomniac making me feel things. Howard somehow became one of my favourite characters in the first two games, and when the music kicked in, and the flock was getting released, I knew what was happening.
After the side quest was over, I took a ten minute break to just cry. R.I.P Howard, king of pigeons. He didn’t deserve a house, he deserved a castle.
it takes a lot to make me cry, I rarely ever do. but the scene with Howard got me crying so much the first time I played it, and surprisingly I cried again during this video. It is bittersweet and true to life. being grounded in reality so well really makes it hit harder
Holy crap, HARRY SHOWS UP IN THE OPEN WORLD TOO.
I love that Penny (hope that it's the right spelling) can pull off a really good impression of the enemies from the spiderman 1 movie game as that has been the spiderman game of my child hood
penny is the right spelling!
What kind of hood was it? Was it comfy?
@@DiscoDachiff childhood I made the mistake of putting a space
Had that same reaction when doing the Hailey mission, it was truly something special 🥺
Can't believe people complained about easily one of the most charming missions.
1:53:50
Not onlu did Parker make it in time, but his nose was bleeding.
That told Jonah he most likely:
A: Got into an accident, and keep on, as Jonah put it, "Pushing through."
Or B: He somehow managed to get into a fistfight during a bikeride.
Both of which made Parker more of a New-Yorker in Jonah's eyes.
Something about the symbiote suit and the funny shenanigans with harry. it's like a fever dream, dream spiderman game
MJ finds she likes being a Symkarian dommy mommy.
Both Grandpa Earl and Howard made me sob. Those missions were beautifully done, and the Howard one was just an amazing love note to such a great side-character. And it's wild to think that it was just created as part of a coding jam that Insomniac held to create a fun mission.
"Nice to sleep you" is only a hair's breadth better than "nice to horse your acquaintance" in terms of being absolutely Nothing
The black suit in the thumbnail is🔥🔥🔥
My theory is that the symbiote became evil only when Peter got stabbed. In witnessing Harry's actions after that, Venom learnt the meaning of hatred.
That howard sequence was beautiful, made mw cey just watching it. Really felt like it could be a classic comic issue of our freindly neighbourhood spiderman
Between the finding grandpa and the Howard mission, they knocked it out of the park. I’m going to go back to sobbing now
I rarely cry from video games, Howards scene had me bawling
If you find the Wakandan Embassy with Miles, you can do the salute outside of it!
When Eugene was talking about music at the end of that mission, it gave me goose bumps. Probably my favorite moment so far.
Now Penny has to act rude and like a total b*tch to her subscribers to stay in character and tell ‘em she’ll throw some dirt in peoples eyes while she’ll chase shocker to the ends of the earth to face her EMO DANCE!!
"...gonna cry?"
penny says to her chat
" I'm not gonna be pleased until y'all Fix this DAMN SUBCOUNT."
The funny thing about the spiderbots and them being part of the multiverse: This universe is ALREADY part of the movie, they show the "Insomniac Spiderman" in the cages scene from Across the Spiderverse. It would be totally reasonable to make it a spiderverse thing
I'm glad i'm not the only one that immediately held the controller in the Infamous: Second Son position when doing the street art spray-painting
not often that a video game makes me cry for real, but im crying like a baby at that howard sequence 😭😭
2:50:08 OMG Connors’ is about to have a legitimate panic attack and is trying to calm himself down
After seeing her playthrough of web of shadows, I hope Penny enjoys the black suit in this game. She didn’t seem to enjoy playing the black suit at all in WoS
Usually the black suit/symbiote arcs in Spider-Man adaptations are some of my favorite parts actually haha, Web of Shadows frustrates me purely in its own special ways.
@@SnapCube2 fair enough queen
peter has a new suit that gives him cool powers!!! I cannot predict anything bad becoming of this
older stream but the red and black color schemes are references to the original Ditko suit, before they brightened the red and turned the black to blue! funny enough, i don't love the Ditko suit in the comics but i love when the color scheme is transplanted onto other suits like the advanced 2.0!!!!
So far penny’s playthrough has been my fav to watch. She gets so excited and its awesome to see
When your fun spy adventure results in the deaths of three innocent waiters
"Stop with the spreading already!"
Ah, so Peter still has problems when taking the subway...
Penny, you have no idea how much I would scream if they had the Skulls gang show up as a generic gang you fight in the next game, and have them say those same half a dozen lines whenever you start a fight.
Hella late to this but I just wanted to say I really enjoy your analysis and commentary as you play games! Your perspective as someone who’s played many spidey games and as a spidey fan. I’m really interested in media analysis and it’s fun to hear your thought process.
the doctors are confused about why sandman just starts wiggling his head now and again before getting a lot more lucid
I just wanna say I love the gimmick with the thumbnails, really neat
It's nice hearing Yuri Lowenthal and Tara Platt teaming up for a story.
Hope we get Harry's black suit as a suit we can play as it looks sick
