Comments About this Episode
There were just way too many flaws in this episode and Spider-Man was too clumsy. While in jail, he seems to get changed in full view of the person in the opposite cell. When he first confronts the criminals, he gets his mask ripped and lets one of them get an eyeful of his bare face before making his escape. Somehow, he manages to sew his mask up again while in prison (Maybe he carries a sewing kit in his utility belt?). The second time Spider-Man confronts them, he gets shot in the leg when he walks into an obvious trap (Spider-Sense anyone?). Peter Parker also appears to be missing from prison from 6.00 pm to 7.30 am the following morning without being discovered. He also manages to smuggle in his Spider-suit, web shooter and utility belt into prison with him, and conceals a bullet-hole in his leg! Talented guy, that Peter. Too bad the scripter wasn't.
