2025 is a big year for the MCU and things kicked off today (Jan. 29) with the two-episode premiere of "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man." This animated show is one of several Marvel movies and shows coming out this year, but it's already made some waves for its controversial animation style.

But the most similar origin story to the one shown in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man is actually that of Miles Morales in Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, where he’s bitten by a spider from a different dimension.

The Mirror US reports there are several deviations from the main MCU timeline, the most significant being Norman Osborn (Colman Domingo) acting as a mentor to Peter Park (Hudson Thames) instead of Tony Stark. The series has seen a few changes since its announcement in 2021 and forms part of Phase Five of the MCU.

When Jeff Trammell landed the job of creating Marvel Studios' animated series "Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man" (premiering today), he stepped into the most fertile creative period for the web-slinging superhero in his 63-year history.

The first two episodes of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man feature some very cool Easter eggs and references to Peter Parker's MCU debut.

Marvel's most iconic web-slinging superhero is set for a whole new alternate take on his back story, with the release this week of new animated show, . Helmed by Craig of the Creek showrunner Jeff Trammell,

In the MCU, Peter Parker's billionaire mentor was Iron Man. But in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, Peter's mentor is not as friendly.

The multiverse allows for plenty of creative liberties to be taken with regard to canon, but with great Spider-Man adaptation comes great responsibility.
