This is Part 2 of my Marvel’s Spider-Man 1 retrospective series, focusing on everything outside of the main story. More specifically, the DLC stories, side missions, collectibles, unlockable outfits, etc. Not only will we carefully examine each of these, but we’ll also discuss any relevant behind-the-scenes details, easter eggs, and references associated with them.
Always Nerdy is a Youtube channel dedicated to all things nerdy, with a focus on comic book game retrospectives for both DC and Marvel. I’m always open to suggestions for games you’d like to see covered, and I hope to eventually cover them all.

I assume Miles game is next?
One thing I will give to this game a hundred times over, the voice cast was so solid. If Yuri is being propped up as the definitive Spider-Man, I'd say it's well earned.
would you ever do a retrospective on the fantastic 4 movie tie in game? i actually remember it being pretty good
I’VE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS 👹❤️
Egg
I think JJJ says something abt werewolves from outer space, so i think john jameson has already become man-wolf.
1:15:26 no you’re one of the good influencers 😊
1:31:42 insomniac needs to make a Daredevil game already
Yuri also voiced Sasuke from The Anime series Naruto
Look. Spider-Man as well as the entirety of Marvel is supposed to be Sci Fi and Fantasy esthetics. It's called Fiction for a purpose.
A little bit late but whatever this video is another W as always!! 👍👍👍
Amazing retrospective, full of interesting references and easter eggs. Can’t wait for the Spider-Man 3 retrospective and Web of Shadows. I wonder if you’ll ever do a retrospective on both Amazing Spider-Man games based of the films? All in excellent video between this and Arkham, Amazing work!
1:58:27 “hornswoggled”😂
1:59:29 😂😂
Great Job on The Video keep up the good work for both MARVEL & DC Video Games and if you need any suggest I'm always open!
You are quite literally the only "retrospective" channel I watch. Your videos are amazing
I completely disagree with that interview where they said that seeing iron man would overshadow the game, we've had previous marvel games where other heroes cameoed and it was a cool little moment. Biggest example is Punisher that had Iron Man, Black Widow, and Nick Fury.
Is it weird that i fall asleep to these videos? Your voice and the way you explain things so logically is really interesting and relaxing
I do want to say some Jameson Podcast episodes are unlocked when failing Stolen Vehicle, Break In, Drug Deal, and Witness Escort, with Stolen Vehicle it's easy you find a car chase a swing away, with Break In you have to find a ground related one and see if there's 6 thugs because once you move in they all will run away, the Drug Deal also has to be on the ground but with a thug in the driver's seat and when there's 3 thugs remaining in the fight, they'll make a run for the car, finally Witness Escort is easy just wait for them to start moving and swing away, plus the podcasts are titled "Blame the Internet", "A Loop", "Breaking In" and "Witness Tampering"
Where have you been!!?! Glad part 2 is here. Keep up the great work man
good video man
I mostly know Yuri Lowenthal as Sasuke from Naruto.
Great video and editing, it took a while for me to wait patiently for it but it was worth it. Regarding other game retrospectives you have in mind for the future would it be too much to ask for cut content of Spider-Man 3 The Game in the video you plan for it?
I loved using Selfie mode during boss fights to get some pretty funny shots. It's a shame they took it out of Spider-Man 2.
Great video keep up the good work
Another fantastic video! I was waiting for you to cover this game for the longest time and the pair of videos you made was well worth the wait. This game has become my personal favorite of all time and I think you do its content justice while also highlighting a plethora of cool details that players (including myself) may have missed. It's a real treat to watch your videos and it almost feels like I'm discovering this game all over again for the first time. You have quickly become one of my favorite content creators on YouTube and I sincerely thank you for the time and effort you spend on these retrospectives.
I'm honestly surprised and sad Spider-man 2 does not have a selfie mode. Love the vid as always
I have always found The City That Never Sleeps kinda boring. Hammerhead is not a cool enough villain to carry three DLCs.
I love the games, but have never been extraordinarily well-read on my SM comic history. Your two videos really added to my enjoyment of the game and even revealed easter eggs I’d missed after SO many playthroughs it’s surprising I missed anything.
So thanks! Can’t wait to see you give Miles Morales and SM 2 the same treatment.
I wish they brought back the social feed it gave NY a bit more mife
I love your videos their the best retrospective videos on Marvel games man
The West Coast line when Peter takes a picture of the Avengers’ Tower is a reference to the team, the West Coast Avengers. That team’s been led by Hawkeye and it’s members included characters like Mockingbird, Wonder Man, War Machine, Moon Knight, and others.
There was also a similar group, Force Works, which appeared outside of the comics in the 1994 Iron Man animated series.

First of all, amazing video as usual, man! ⚡️
And second, while i'm glad you covered "Last Stand" suit, i'd like to add details that this suit is created by a tailor Leo Zelinsky, he gave Spider-Man a design (as a thanks for saving him and his grandson's life from an assassin who's happened to be his customer) if Spider-Man ever needed an upgrade, on the note, the letter can be read "Spider-Man of the Future", which's look the exact same costume in that future.
(Wait a minute…Leo knows Peter's fate? are we sure he's not related to Desinty from the X-Men? hmm, it could be coincidence. ¯_(ツ)_/¯ )
Just want to point it out. 🙂
I loving this And I cannot wait to play the game again on the ps5 Also before you do a review of spider-man 2 are you gonna do a review of spider-man miles Morales?
Wake up babe, the GOAT video game retrospective channel posted again
Once again, another great retrospective. I love all the research and thought you put into your videos. Keep up the great work!
By far my favorite retrospective channel, cant wait to see you get the recognition you deserve! Keep up this spectacular work ❤
I love how in depth you go in these vids
All the interviews and bts stuff makes me appreciate the games even more
1:00:00
Can you please gameshare marvel ultimate alliance 1 and 2 with me on ps4 ?
Bro cited Temari for Tara but not Sasuke for Yuri, which is hilarious to me
