Line 265:
** Black Cat can be seen at the Halloween party in "The Uncertainty Principle," carrying a bag of money. Seems Peter wasn't the only one taking advantage of already having a costume.
* [[Eating Lunch Alone]] - Gwen in "Intervention".
* [[Economy Cast]] - If an episode needs cops bursting into a scene, it's going to be Jean DeWolff and Stan Carter--aCarter—a bit surprising, considering the show's surprisingly large cast.
* [[Elevator Floor Announcement]]: In "Reinforcements".
{{quote|'''Mysterio''': "Second Floor - Toys, Housewares, Superhero Defeat."}}
Line 326:
* [[Flaw Exploitation]] - This is Spider-Man's standard MO for defeating villains. Doctor Octopus attempts to do this with a [[Hostage for McGuffin]].
* [[Flight]] - The Vulture's magnetic air [[Powered Armor|transport system]] and the Green Goblin's Tech-Flight [[Hover Board|glider]] allow them to fly.
* [[First Kiss]] - Peter's first kiss was actually given to him by Black Cat at the end of "Persona"--a—a classic Spider-Man Upside Down Kiss.
* [[Foe Yay]] - Thankfully not between Spidey and his rogues but between Hammerhead and Silver Sable. [[No Yay|I'm sure Hammerhead has a nice personality]] ''[quivers]'' .
** The entire symbiote arc is foe-yaytastic. Venom--orVenom—or more accurately, the symbiote itself--actsitself—acts as a spurned ex/stalker towards Peter Parker. Eddie Brock doesn't seem to have much issue with this either, judging by all of those unsettling leers aimed at the web-head. Of course that could just be the symbiote's influence, but it's certainly there regardless.
** The symbiote doesn't seem to have any problem going on about how much it just wants to be with Spider-Man. Spidey even refers to himself (albeit somewhat ironically) as it's "first love" at the end of Nature vs Nurture. Venom seems to hate Spider-Man just as much as it wants him back/to itself.
* [[Foreshadowing]] - While virtually every [[Chekhov's Gunman]] could quality, Season 2 earns mention when {{spoiler|Harry literally casts the Goblin's shadow}}
Line 395:
* [[Homage Shot]] - Numerous Comic Book Covers are used in the series including [http://www.samruby.com/AmazingFantasy/Large/AmazingFantasy15.jpg Amazing Fantasy #15], [http://www.samruby.com/AmazingSpider-ManA/Large/AmazingSpider-Man033.jpg Amazing Spider-Man #33], [http://www.samruby.com/AmazingSpider-ManA/Large/AmazingSpider-Man039.jpg #39], [http://www.samruby.com/AmazingSpider-ManA/Large/AmazingSpider-Man100.jpg #100], and more.
** There's also a [[Homage Shot]] to the [[Spider-Man (film)|second Spider-Man movie]] in the intro (Spidey landing on a train), and various [[Homage Shots]] to [[Spider-Man (film)|the first film]] during ''Intervention'', when Peter sees the Burglar's face.
** And ''The Invisible Hand'' and ''Intervention'' have [[Homage Shot|Homage Shots]]s to panels from ''[http://spideykicksbutt.com/WhyYouMaryJane/WhyYouMJ1AZ.jpg Amazing Spider-Man #42]'' and ''Amazing Fantasy #15'', respectively.
* [[Huge Guy, Tiny Girl]]: Kenny and Glory, though she's actually a normal height; it's just that ''any'' girl would look tiny compared to him. (In "Gangland" they danced without her feet even touching the ground.)
* [[I Just Want to Be Normal]] - Peter briefly considers taking a [[Power Nullifier]]. Electro is in pursuit of a cure for [[Blessed with Suck|his powers]].
Line 485:
* [[Melee a Trois]] - The massive battle between Silvermane, Tombstone, Doctor Octopus and Spider-Man in "Gangland".
** And a couple episodes earlier (in "Accomplices") with everyone's lieutenants: Silver Sable, Hammerhead, Rhino, and Spidey.
* [[Mind Hug]] - Peter's memories of Uncle Ben allowing him to fight off the symbiote, culminating in a very heartwarming pair of [[Montage|montagesmontage]]s
* [[Mad Scientist]] - Doctor Octopus
* [[Made of Iron]] - Doctor Octopus's abilities reside solely in his [[Combat Tentacles]], with his being a fairly unathletic middle-aged scientist meaning he doesn't really have any physical abilities of his own to speak of. Despite this, he can somehow takes hits at least as well as any other character in the show.
Line 619:
* [[Ship Tease]] - Where do we even begin?
* [[Short Run in Peru]] - Canada aired the entire second season before the US even started on it. And then Disney put it on hiatus midway through...
* [[Shout-Out]] - Greg Weisman's ''[[Gargoyles]],'' quite a number of comic book cover homages, and musical [[Leitmotif|leitmotifsleitmotif]]s from the 60's and 90's series are all referenced.
** The statue of Atlas is a reoccurring feature, likely a shout out to "Atlas Shrugged" in keeping with Spider-Man co-creator Steve Ditko's objectivism.
** In "Opening Night" Black Cat uses a fake ID with the name "Selina Drew" "Drew" is probably a reference to Spider-Woman, aka Jessica Drew, while "Selina" may refer to [[Catwoman (comics)|Catwoman]].
Line 640:
* [[Slave to PR]] - To preserve his [[Villain with Good Publicity|public image]], Tombstone refuses to do or say anything villainous when civilians that could incriminate him are around.
* [[Slippery Skid]] - Spidey uses bowling balls to try and stop The Rhino
{{quote|'''Spider-Man:''' "[[Genre Savvy|This always works in the cartoons!]]" [[Subverted Trope|* Rhino smashes them by stepping on them rather than slipping* ]] "Agh! Television ''so'' [[TV Never Lies|cannot be trusted]]."}}
* [[Smart Ball]] - Rhino may be portrayed as fairly unintelligent in this series, but he ''was'' the only one to connect Peter Parker to Spider-Man completely on his own. In Season 2, as noted above, he also manages to turn Spider-man's signature [[Deadly Dodging]] against him, being one of the few(if not the only) villain in this series to do so.
* [[Smug Snake]] - Miles Warren (who admittedly seems perfectly content as right-hand-man to real [[Magnificent Bastard]] Norman Osborn), Hammerhead (in the {{spoiler|Gang War arc, when he turns against Tombstone only to become the Goblin's pawn}}.)
Line 714:
* [[Underwater Base]] - Master Planner's HQ
* [[The Unfavorite]] - Harry Osborn
* [[The Unfettered]]: According to [[Word of God]], the phlebotinium giving powers to Doctor Octopus and the Green Goblin didn't cause a personality split/involuntary insanity as in other versions. Instead, it removed all of the inhibitions of their civilian identities, and their villainy is a conscious choice<ref> although it is ambiguous whether the original person would have wanted to go as far as they do post-transformation, leaving open the possibility of some [[Split Personality Takeover]]</ref>
* [[Unlucky Childhood Friend]] - Gwen has this problem when trying to get Peter to notice her. Even after she ''kissed'' him, Pete is... "easily distracted," as MJ put it, and falls for the much more direct Liz Allen.
** Their [[UST]] finally headed for a resolution in the second finale only for a [[Love Triangle]] with Harry to [[Love Hurts|put the hurt on again]].
Line 720:
* [[Uptown Girl]]: Peter Parker and Liz Allan are played this way.
* [[Villainous Breakdown]] - Dr. Octopus suffers a rather calm breakdown in Shear Strength.
** Eddie Brock suffers a rather [[Narm|narmfulnarm]]ful one in Season 2.
** "Don't ''know'' anyone named Max! The name's ''Electro''! '''ELECTRO, I TELL YOU!'''"
* [[Villain Ball]] - grabbed very jarringly by Eddie Brock
Line 747:
* [[The Worf Barrage]] - Spidey's webbing very rarely works. Lampshaded in "Gangland":
{{quote|'''Spider-man''': I've gotta start making that stuff stronger.}}
* [[Xanatos Gambit]]: Norman Osborn is the undisputed master of this, though it borders on [[Xanatos Roulette]], although if you want to be generous most of it can be written off as [[Batman Gambit|Batman Gambitting]]ting and [[Indy Ploy|Indy Ploying.]]
* [[X-Ray Sparks]] - Otto Octavius, during a massive electromagnetic shock
* [[:Category:Yandere|Yandere (disambiguation)]] - The Venom symbiote.
* [[Yank the Dog's Chain]] - Well, it is Spider-Man. Hey, look, someone else gets superpowers and decides to use them for good! Not.
* [[Yawn and Reach]] - Flash tries it on Mary Jane at one point.
