I'm sure you all know by now what's been happening in the
Spider-Man comic books. Peter Parker is dead, at least for the next year or whenever Marvel is pressured into bringing him back. Otto Octavius, aka Dr. Octopus, occupies the webhead's body in a protracted tale of redemption for a classic villain, who swapped bodies with Parker, as Octavius' own body had been ravaged by cancer. It's not the best of ideas, but then, Marvel hasn't exactly been brimming with really good ones in recent months. All they're interested in, really, is how much publicity, good or bad, they can generate with their shock value plots.
So, let's take a journey back to a simpler, happier time. 1967, to be exact, when
Spider-Man first dealt on television with "The Power of Dr. Octopus".
Edit, 10/12/23: The video has been deleted. In its place is a title card.
I give Marvel less than 6 months before they push the panic button.
Rating: B.
