Yes, I understand that it is a Spider-Man and X-Mex story, but the iconic X-Men Villains all work together with the exception of Juggernaught. Now, most stories you can't tie back to the Brotherhood of Evil, because that would get repetitive an boring, which is why i left that out of my review.
As for the Green Goblin, I will have to see, but as far as I can think, I don't see why he needed to be in the first episode. I think you could have the same effect with the plot with just having Norman Osborn in it, and leaving his alter persona out, but as I don't know where this is going, I can't pass final jugement. All i have to say is that, at the end of the series, and i will rereview all of the episodes, knowing what happens at the end, to see if what happens later changes my view of the earlier episodes.

Seeing Red Review
Now, let me get this out of the way, I like this episode almost as much as “Along Came a Spider” and it didn’t have the major issue with the villain. Starting off, you have a very original pre-credit sequence, unlike in the first episode.
Now, I want to talk about the villains first, and yes, I do mean plural. The first villain was Lance, who was just a straight up villain with very little justification for his actions. The second and the better villain were the normal people. I think have the protesters and the principal turning against Kristen was a nice touch, and made for the most realist villain you could have and one that can be brought back every episode and not be noticed all that much.
Now, Kristen Sparks and Bobby Drake, the two main characters of this story. Now, I don’t know if I’m looking too much into things, but I think that there is a level of chemistry between them that is beyond just friendship. With that out there, I’m going to start with Bobby. I really liked him and what you did with him throughout the episode, especially when he reveals his powers to Kristen. That scene was a great piece of writing.
Now, to Kristen. I didn’t like her as much as Bobby, so there is a lot more for me to say about her. One, the pre-credit sequence actually had repercussions on her emotionally. There are a fair number of shows now-a-days that have things happen and it doesn’t have an emotional effect on the characters. Now, the relationship with MJ, I hate it. First off, you almost disregard the chemistry that was between MJ and Melanie in the first episode, at least on MJ’s side of things. Also, Kristen doesn’t treat her right, which I hate.
Now MJ herself wasn’t given a lot to work with this episode, she was mostly just there as a support role for Kristen, and the lack of chemistry between her and Kristen didn’t help it work. Melanie herself also didn’t get a lot of work this episode as she was mostly Spider-Girl. Also, I missed Euphoria’s presence, and I would think that a small scene between her and Xavier about Bobby and Kristen, or at least Kristen, would have added a lot to the episode and shown that she is actually involved and cares about the project. Xavier in this episode was very much like I he is portrayed in every other series based off of the X-Men. I would like to see you do something different with him.
Now, as I’ve said before, I like this episode as much as I do “Along Comes a Spider” but it doesn’t have the villain issue the first episode had. 7/10

Along came a spider review.
First thing is first, I like this episode a lot, but there were a lot of deterring factors from this episode, but let me start with the good stuff. I like the majority of characters, especially Melanie and MJ, who have great chemistry with each other. The first half of the story I had very few problems with. Now, I love the character of Euphoria, and she reminds me of Emma Frost, the person she was based off. Also, the banter between Melanie and Euphoria was hilarious.
Now the bad part of this section was mainly the pre-credit sequence, which felt like I’ve seen it all before. Other than that, I liked the rest of the first half. Now, the biggest issue I had with this episode came during the second half.
The issue I had was that you used the Green Goblin in the first episode. Now, let me explain. The Green Goblin is one of the most iconic Spiderman villains that there is. You use him in the first episode, so what bigger villain is there, how do you go up from there. Other than Doc. Oct. there isn’t really anybody who would be a bigger villain than that. I would have much rather seen the Hobgoblin or the Scorpion. I would have settled for some of the other Sinister Six such as Vulture and the Sandman.
Now, as I have said, I liked the first half of the episode, and I really like Norman Osborn in the first half. I would have liked to see him be the one that is putting these super villains on Spider-Girl’s trial, sending them after her, instead of him getting his hands dirty from the very beginning. At about mid-season, you could have him do the whole, “they aren’t getting it done, so I will,” thing. Having him die, the whole of the super villain underground doesn’t have a leader and you have a control battle between the alliances of super villains going on with the Outcasts right in the middle of it.
Over all, I think it was a great episode, and very entertaining. While I have to downgrade heavily it due to the inclusion of the Green Goblin so early in the season, I still think highly of the episode. 6.5/10

Rose is a bitch and i can't stand behind her, and if you think amy sucks then you haven't seen the big bang. She rocks in that episode way more than rose ever did. BTW, i've seen all of the new serries episodes plus some of the old serries episodes. overall, Amy is my favorite of the new serries but Sarah Jane is the best over all
Thor,
The Doctor or Captain Jack Harkness
