When it comes to Marvel Cinematic Universe lore, few things have been more impactful than Captain America: Civil War, which signaled a seismic shift in the MCU’s future by introducing characters and moments Marvel fans still gush about.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man offers a daring new look at Marvel's beloved wall-crawler in an ambitious season that Disney+ fans will love.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man premiered on Disney+ on January 29, 2025, and has already aired five episodes. The show is an animated retelling of Spider-Man’s origin story.

Although it reinvents the canon, Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man understand one key aspect of the hero better than the MCU.

Three new episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man arrived on Disney+ on February 5, 2025. After a two-episode premiere, which introduced the audience to Peter Parker’s world and friends, the new episodes focus on new challenges for the superhero.

Some Spider-Man fans take issue with the MCU take on Peter Parker despite his movies being financial and critical successes. They feel Tony Stark acting as a mentor to the teen vigilante is antithetical to Peter’s outsider status.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is exclusive to Disney+, so you’ll need a subscription to stream the new show. Luckily, the new episode will be available no matter which plan you’re subscribed to. There are two Disney+ plans: one with ads costs $9.99/month, while the ad-free plan costs $15.99/month.

But what’s funny about the entire situation is how Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is, in fact, one of those “woke” shows you’re always hearing culturally conservative types harp on about. It celebrates multiculturalism by treating diversity as a simple fact of the world Peter Parker exists in.

Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man Episodes 3, 4, and 5 are finally out and they bring in even more easter eggs and references for fans to explore, making the storyline a lot more interesting and fun.
