Marvel Studios Ms. Marvel just dropped on Disney Plus! Eileen Nestman (voice of Ghost Spider) and I had a chat about it while both playing as Kamala in Marvel’s Avengers! Check out the livestream below! And to check out Eileen’s YouTube channel, Click Here!
I truly did enjoy it, it’s so unique and I very much can’t wait for the next one! I think Kamala is just what the MCU needs at the moment! I talked about more details in the stream, but those are my general thoughts.
That’s it for now. Do you want to see more Avengers Livestreams where we discuss new MCU shows? Sound off below! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
With Spider-Man: No Way Home finally coming to Blu-Ray (even though I was a sucker and bought it on digital first) I have now finally completed my “Homecoming Trilogy” Blu-Ray collection! I’m so happy about it, in fact, that I’m going to share the editions of each movie I have with you True Believers! Let’s get started!
Spider-Man Homecoming
This version of Homecoming was a Target exclusive. It’s a really cool cover that folds out into a display that looks like the inside of Peter’s notebook. It’s got drawings of the spider symbol, Winter Soldier’s arm, the web fluid formula, you name it!
This version also came with an exclusive comic book! It’s about Peter trying to get partnered up in class with a girl named Amy (it’s not Liz for some reason) but then cop cars zoom by, so Peter bails to stop Shocker!
He and Droney take Shocker down, but Peter gets detention for skipping class. Poor Peter. I love my copy of Homecoming, it just feels special with all of the amazing little details they included in the box art.
Spider-Man: Far From Home
This version of Far From Home was a Walmart exclusive that came with what they call a ‘Throwbaction Action Figure’. They also did one of these for the first Venom and Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (both of which I own, of course!)
The only thing that upset me about this is that I couldn’t see the card when I bought it, and it turns out it was bent! Anyone following me for even a short amount of time knows that I pretty much open all of my figures, but for the select few I want to keep boxed up, it’s really annoying when something happens to the packaging.
But other than that slight misfortune, I am really happy with my little collectible Night Monkey figure. Best version of Far From Home on the shelves (at the time).
Spider-Man: No Way Home
I had several, difficult options for this one (the first two movies were kind of no-brainers with literally no competition) but I settled on the version with the Walmart exclusive cover art. Underneath the slip case is the standard cover, which I’m actually fine with because I dig that cover as well.
So no foldout, no retro action figure, but still, I’m just glad to have the movie in my physical collection at long last. The exclusive art is also such a powerful image, and I really wanted that in my collection. I wish the 4K would have used the Green Goblin version of that poser, being that he was the more prominent villain, but otherwise, no complaints.
So, which version of No Way Home did you get? Which versions of the first two do you have? Let me know in the comments below. Maybe show it off on Face of the Fan! That’s all for now, until next time, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
Gwen has tracked down some new recruits for the Web-Warriors, and they look exactly like her, Peter and Miles! Will Spidey and his Amazing Friends lend their experience as a team to the fight against the Master Planner? Find out now!
This episode of Web-Warriors is special for several reasons. For one, I didn’t write it! It was written, actually, by long-time friend of Face Front and voice of Ghost-Spider Eileen Nestman! Why, you ask? Well, let me tell you the story!
Eileen is my best friend (since the 6th grade!) That’s why she does voice work and set building for me, but she lives all the way in Idaho! A while ago, I sent her son Lewis the little Spidey and his Amazing Friends toys for Christmas. And one night, the idea for this episode just… came to her! She wrote it down and sent it to me, just for fun, but I figured it would be a great Web-Warriors episode.
I had planned on doing one with these little guys, but the problem was that I haven’t seen all the episodes of the show, whereas Eileen (and Lewis) have. So when she came down to Arizona to visit, I bought the Web-Quarters playset and we got to work! Below you’ll find an EXCLUSIVE behind the scenes video of just what that looks like. I also have the usual Easter Eggs section, but I had Eileen write it this time since, again, she knows the show better.
So enjoy the bonus content True Believers, and please Click Here to check out Eileen’s YouTube channel! She does so much for Face Front, so let’s show her some love by watching her vids and subscribing to her channel!
EXCLUSIVE Behind the Scenes Video
Easter Eggs
Written by Eileen Nestman
Web-Quarters
In Spidey and His Amazing Friends, web quarters folds out of the ground and stands obviously above the houses in the neighborhood, yet no one knows about it in universe.
Lesson Learned
Each Episode of Spidey and his Amazing Friends has a cute little moral to go with it.
They’re just… Kids!?
The Web trio seems to be elementary age in this version.
Baddies
All bad guys in Spidey and his Amazing Friends are referred to as baddies in this show, not just bad guys.
Crimes of the Past
Doc Ock stealing Christmas presents, Rhino cheating at carnival games, and Green Goblin wreaking havoc in Central Park all happened in the show, and were mentioned in this episode.
Captain Stacy??
Gwen’s mom in this universe takes the place of the role her dad usually fills but as a detective instead of police captain.
Miles’ Parents
In one episode the trio go camping with Mile’s dad who is a park ranger in Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends and Mile’s mom is usually seen wearing scrubs.
Webs Out!
This version of the trio has anime style transformations when they “change” into their suits.
Spin!
In this show Miles goes by spin in universe reason is because of tracy and the computer needing different profile names, but IRL we all know it’s so that the little kiddies don’t get confused.
That’s it for this fun episode of Web-Warriors! Hope to see the little guys again sometime soon! What did you guys think? Let me know below, make sure to check out Eileen’s YouTube Channel, and as always, Face Front True Believers, I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
The 90’s Spider-Man swings into Web-Warriors! Relive his classic adventures, and discover whether or not he’ll be enough to help defeat the Master Planner!
The 90’s Spider-Man animated series is my favorite Spider-Man show. So I was more than excited to bring him into the Web-Warriors. The show ran for 4 seasons, so there was a lot of content to pick from when choosing the story to tell and references to make. So here’s a breakdown of everything from the video.
The Theme Song
All of Spider-Man’s theme songs are instant classics. This one is no different. Everyone recognizes the Spider blood! Spider blood! Radioactive spider blood! I had no choice but to put it in this episode, by cleverly disgusting it as Miles’ latest banger!
Framed
The 90’s Spider-Man mentions that he teamed up with Daredevil to beat Kingpin and clear his name. This is because Richard Fisk framed Peter for espionage, and Matt Murdock, aka Daredevil, had to help him out of the situation, as both his lawyer and partner in crime-fighting!
Blade
The 90’s series featured Spider-Man teaming up with many Marvel heroes, including the vampire hunter Blade. When Morbius began terrorizing New York, the Daywalker stepped in to handle matters himself. While they were at odds at first, Spider-Man and Blade ended up working together to stop Blade’s mother, the Vampire Queen.
The Original Spider-Verse
This was our first glimpse at the Spider-Verse! Peter teamed up with several Spidey’s from alternate dimensions, including the Tony Stark-like Spider-Armor Spider-Man, Ben Reilly, a Spider-Man that had kept Doc Ock’s tentacles, the six-armed Spider-Man, and an actor from the real world, that introduced him to Stan Lee!
The Secret Wars
This show adapted the popular Secret Wars comic, but since this is Spidey’s show, they centered the whole thing around him as the leader. He went against the Beyonder with several of Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, including the Fantastic 4, Captain America, Iron Man, and Storm!
Worst Enemy
Pay attention to Spidey’s words. He asks who is the most relentless, unforgiving opponent the 90’s Spider-Man has ever faced. You may remember that those are the exact words he used after he finally won his fight against Venom. Also, if that image of Venom holding an unmasked Spider-Man in a web net looks familiar, that’s because I lifted it right from the episode!
The Green Goblin
Peter’s fight with Green Goblin in this show was in lieu of the infamous Gwen Stacy death, since the show wasn’t allowed to do that. Mary Jane instead fell through a portal created by the Time Dilation Accelerator. As a matter of fact, whenever anyone “died” in that show, they usually fell through a portal.
Spider-Carnage
Remember that aforementioned OG Spider-Verse? Well, Madame Web assembled them, put Spider-Man through the Secret Wars, and trained him that whole time to prepare him for that one fight. Because Spider-Man’s clone, driven insane and bonded with the Carnage Symbiote, nearly destroyed the entire Multiverse!
Electro
Max Dillion never made it into the animated series. Instead Electro was Red Skull’s doomsday weapon, a being that could manipulate energy, given form by his son. Yeah, sometimes the 90’s got real out there.
Spider-Sense
The Spider-Sense in the 90’s series is one of the most distinct and instantly recognizable versions of Spidey’s sixth sense for danger. So I definitely wanted to include it somehow, and I couldn’t do it in the fight because Venom is invisible to it! So I just had it go off before Madame Web took him. Good compromise I think!
Finding Mary Jane
As I mentioned earlier, Mary Jane was lost to the cosmos. She seemingly came back for a while, but that turned out to be a clone created with Hydro Man’s genetics by Miles Warren, who eventually, well, evaporated. But at the very end of the show, Madame Web and Spider-Man set off through the Multiverse find the real Mary Jane. Unfortunately, the show got cancelled, and we never figured out if they found her. Until now that is!
That’s it for this one True Believers. I’m happy that I finally got to do a video featuring the 90’s Spider-Man. It was so fun bringing to life all of the many great memories I have of that show. And like any of the other Web-Warriors, this is definitely not the last you’ve seen of him! Until then, Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
When Spidey needs to acquire precious Tritium to recreate the power of the sun, he and OG turn to Otto Octavius. Unfortunately, the duo might get more tentacles than they signed up for!
Easter Eggs
Doctor Kafka
Doctor Ashley Kafka is a psychiatrist at the Ravencroft Institute for the Criminally Insane. She’s been a character in Spider-Man comics for years, and has had several on-screen appearances. So when I decided to throw Otto in Ravencroft for rehabilitation, it was none the than Dr. Kafka who was assigned to treat him. Voiced by my wonderful mother Kensala Smith-Westbrook, who is in school to get her psychology degree! Way to go mom!
Olivia Octavius
Gwen brings up the pain-in-the-butt Dr. Olivia Octavius, who True Believers will remember as the female Doc Ock from Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse! Since she did construct the original Super Collider for Kingpin, it only makes sense that she’d have cliff notes on the schematics, right?
Tritium
Precious Tritium is the fuel that makes this project go. The rare element, of which Doc Ock states there is only 25 pounds of on the planet, is what he used to ignite his fusion reactor in Spider-Man 2.
The Power of the Sun
Hey, that’s the name of the episode! Yes, True Believers, you all remember the famous line from Doc Ock, that was repeated very recently in Spider-Man: No Way Home. “The power of the sun, in the palm of my hand.” Geez, that’s all Doc Ock really wants! Someone just give the man his sun power!
Peter Speaks Spanish
Scorpion seems quite puzzled when he discovers that Spidey can speak Spanish. If you think back to Spider-Man: Homecoming, Peter catches Delmar’s comment about Aunt May, then replies with a snarky comeback about his daughter. He’s not perfect at it though, it’s stated multiple times in Homecoming that he’s still taking a Spanish class, and in a deleted scene in Far From Home, Delmar has to help him remember how to say ‘dual headphone adaptor’.
OG lines
Were you paying attention? OG drops some lines from Tobey Maguire’s Spider-Man movies. “Where do all these guys come from?” Then there was “Trying to do better” and “No, not exactly.” Did you spot anymore? Let me know!
Bully Maguire
Tobey Maguire has basically become a meme across the internet known as “Bully Maguire”. Most of the dialogue in Bully Maguire videos comes from his time in the black suit, but there is an instance when poor Tobey was being harassed by some idiot paparazzi that were flashing cameras in his face and blocking his car in. Tobey, rightfully so, got upset and told them to get out of the way, that there were cars there and he couldn’t see. I just thought I’d squeeze that moment in the video as a little bit of Bully Maguire fun!
You’ve got a Train to Catch
Probably the most famous scene in Spider-Man 2 is when Spider-Man stopped that train. So how could I not pay homage to this moment in OG’s premiere episode! And honestly, what better way to stop a truck from falling off a bridge, am I right?
Hello Peter
As probably the most famous line in recent Spider-Man history, I feel like I don’t need to explain this one. I’m just really happy I got to include it in here!
Superhero Landings
I’m still not sure how much we want to fool with spoilers, but if these poses look familiar, that was intentional. That’s all I’ll say on that.
Spider-Man 2: The Game
There were plenty of lines to choose from Doc Ock’s dialogue in the Spider-Man 2 video game. I restrained myself and chose my favorite: “What? Hit him again? What an excellent idea!”
Here are some I could have chosen: “This is fitting vengeance for my poor Rosie!”, “You! Will! Die!”, “I will laugh over your broken corpse!”, “Fight me! Stand! And! Fight me!”, “I’m gonna kill her you know.”, “Miserable creature!”
Yeah… Doc Ock was pretty intense in that game…
Blindfolded Fight
Nobody can forget that horrific hospital scene from Spider-Man 2! (A lot of things in the Raimi Trilogy made more sense when I figured out he was a horror director). I thought it was insane that Doc Ock took out a room full of doctors not only unconscious, but blindfolded! So I had that moment where Spider-Man webs his glasses and Doc Ock still overpowers them! Also, you know, Spider-Man always webs Doc Ock’s glasses.
The Chrysler Building
As we know, OG likes to go to the Chrysler Building to clear his head. We saw it in Spider-Man 1, the movie and the game, and it was mentioned by him later on. So when figuring out how to end the video, I decided to use a beautiful shot (if I do say so myself) of him up on the eagle statue, over the traditional yellow-tinted city (Which is actually a Spider-Man movie poster I had). With that classic Danny Elfman score behind it, oh my goodness. I almost made myself cry with that one!
That’s it for this episode! Man, this one took a lot! A midair fight!? Come on! What did you think? What was Spider-Man 2099 trying to tell Peter? And why is Dr. Kafka working for the Master Planner! So many questions! Stay tuned, you’ll get your answers! Maybe… And I know a lot of you have been looking forward to the next episode featuring Spider-Man’s arch-nemesis: Venom! I can’t wait! Face Front True Believers, and I’ll see you in the Multiverse!
One lonely night, while I was playing Marvel’s Avengers, I took Spider-Man for a stroll through the calm, evening atmosphere of the Chimera Helicarrier. I settled down by a window, overlooking the clouds, the low hum of the turbines echoing in my mind. I thought, “This is nice view” as I slowly drifted to sleep. For half an hour. With the game on. Yeah… anyways, it worked for me, so maybe it’ll work for you! Sweet dreams True Believers!
