seriousficSo, after Mary-Jane gets introduced via blind date and you know what line, it only follows that the next show starts with Peter rejoicing over being able to take Felicia out on a date, even if it’s only to tutor her. Which, okay, is probably because the shows were aired in some Byzantine order of nonsensicalness, but it’s amusing nonetheless. And there’s the classic “accidentally knocked over some flowers, picked them up, date thinks they’re for her.”
Felicia: Shall we take the convertible?
Peter: It’s kinda chilly out… but I’ll keep you warm.
Felicia: I’ll get a jacket, if it’s all the same to you.
Heh. Then she gets kidnapped by Doctor Octopus. Of course, the police laugh off Peter’s report of a man with four mechanical arms despite this being a universe where multiple giant robot arachnids have rampaged through the city over the last week. Oh, and tentacles.
Doc Ock is one of the cooler villains, with the definitive Germanic accent, the well-written dialogue, and even a personal connection to Peter through teaching him the joys of science at science camp when Peter was a kid.
Otto: Their laughter is meaningless. Science is the important thing. It justifies all that we do in its service.
Man, wouldn’t it be ironic if that Aesop boomeranged around and turned into Otto’s justification for kidnapping and general supervillainy?
As you might expect, Jameson gets himself taken hostage through his Jameson-osity, Spider-Man gets his ass kicked, and Doc Ock finally gets taken down through sneakiness.
Felicia: How can I ever thank you?
Spider-Man: Well this seems like a pretty good way.
In the process, Peter managed to personally deliver one of the ransom payments to Ock, then get rudely chucked out the window, leading to Ock getting called a ‘heartless freak!’ by Felicia. And somehow Spider-Man manages to get back into position and change his clothes before Felicia can run outside to where he fell.
Felicia: Well, Parker, you have to understand something. I don’t usually allow myself to be taken hostage on a first date.
Peter: I respect that.
Clandestine reference to bondage or more TOTALLY-DOING-IT banter? You decide!

Date: 2008-10-11 02:40 am (UTC)I got nothing on Spider-Man 3, but I'll chalk that one up to symbiote influencing Peter into being a dick and a jackass and a borderline psychopath. He might have wanted Gwen before the symbiote, but he loved Mary Jane too much to try anything, barring the repeat of the "Spider-Kiss," but once he gave in completely to the symbiote, he stopped caring. Then again, "he stopped caring" is a good explanation for a lot of things Spidey does in modern adaptations where the symbiote arc is involved.
Sorry for rambling.
