Marvel’s Spidey and His Amazing Friendsis not only a cute way to get younger fans excited about the stories of Spider-Man but it also has given important representation to the characters we know and love. Filled with characters from Spidey’s world, the series includesthe Spidey team in every episode. Peter, Miles, and Gwen are a team who are prepared to save New York alongside some of our favorite Avengers like Iron Man and Black Panther as well as their good friend Ms. Marvel. Now, the show is highlighting an important holiday for Jewish fans: Rosh Hashanah. The Jewish New Year festival includes the eating of apples and honey, which symbolize hope for the sweet year ahead.
In a new clip that was shared in anexclusive by Variety, we get to see the aftermath of the team stopping Gobby (the Green Goblin) as he tried to change all of the honey in to gross goo and ruin the Rosh Hashanah celebrations for everyone. This is important to Peter Parker fans because it has long been discussed that Peter himself is Jewish, something that was made canon in movies likeSpider-Man: Into the Spider-Versewhen Peter B. Parker (Jake Johnson) married his Mary Jane Watson (Zoë Kravitz).
The clip shows the amazing work thatMarvel’sSpidey and His Amazing Friendsare doing not only for younger audiences but the inclusion that the show itself strives for. A perfect introduction tocharacters for younger audiences, what makesMarvel’sSpidey and His Amazing Friendsso special is that it always teaches a lesson and how to make the world better for everyone around, even if villains like Doc Ock and Rhino are trying to stop you.
This is a sweet reminder thatSpidey is here for everyoneand he, with the help of the Thing (Ben Grimm) want to be the heroes that New York (and in this case the Jewish community trying to celebrate Rosh Hashanah) need. You might not watchMarvel’sSpidey and His Amazing Friendsbut the important of this scene, especially to Jewish fans of Spidey, is important to note and this is a great show anyway!
