Here are the things that I liked about episode 3:
 * The first scene is really engaging and they had a great way of giving the audience exposition. The action scene wasn't bad either.


 * The jackal. Just everything with the jackal except the dialogue. The twist about him being Gwen's uncle was amazing and makes sense for him to be protective of Gwen without being a pedophile.


 * Loved how manipulative and cruel Norman is, even if it's a bit too obvious. I liked his relationship with harry and how after everything he still split Herman and clayton.


 * The idea of Shocker and Clash being friends isn't bad since they are soo similar already. I also loved how their equipment looked.


 * The rivalry between Osborn and Modell is great.

Things that I dind't like:


 * This version of Gwen is so obnoxious that's earbleeding .She embodies everything that's wrong with Dan Slott's run, she constantly telling what Peter should do making him seem incompetent and in the end he uses her idea to save the day.Her smug attitude is also very annoying , especially because nobody seems to have a problem with it,


 * Despite being the best part of the episode I didn't get why the jackal had to be the villain since he is a biologist r not an engineer. Being a scientist doesn’t mean that you are capable in every single field.


 * Why does everyone have to be a scientist .Especially Flash, John ,Herman and Miles. They weren’t that smart in any other version.


 * The foreshadowing and references are super obvious. For example Herman names his gauntlets shockers, clayton names his equipment clash , Jamson mentions Nasa and Flash says that his genes are something that sounds like Venom etcetera.


 * The fights still look bad.They lack dynamism.
 * Still don't get why thay had harry hate spider-man so early on.
 * Why did they have to have 3 villains in one episode.4 if you count Norman Osborn.This worries me since no villain is getting the attention they deserve.


 * And here comes the biggest problem for me ; unlike most good spider-man stories ,which should have both a compelling Peter Parker and Spider-Man plot there is only one plot here, a spider-man plot with peter's friends being forced into it.This would be fine occasionally but it seems to be the norm since the next episode has the rhino attacking the party and there is a werewolf infection episode in the horizon.
