But, at the same time, there’s always a very grounded Peter Parker personal story in every episode.
That has certainly changed in recent years and Marvel’s Spider-Man, set to premiere this weekend on Disney XD, plans to follow suit by eschewing the villain of the week format to focus more on Peter Parker.
When it comes to superhero TV shows, the expectation used to be a new villain every week.
Marvel’s Spider-Man premieres Saturday, August 19 on Disney XD.
