Warning! This post contains SPOILERS for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episode 9 & 10
The final episodes of MCU timeline.
By the end of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episodes 6,7, & 8, Peter Parker was nearly killed by Mac Gargan's Scorpion, and the experience saw him questioning what kind of Spider-Man he wanted to be as his mentor Norman Osborn encouraged him to stop holding back to claim respect for his great power. Now, Spider-Man gets a rematch with Scorpion before teaming up with Doctor Strange to fight an alien monster (quite literally bringing the entire first season full circle). To that end, here are 17 of the biggest Easter eggs and references we found in Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episodes 9 & 10.
17 "117 Ratifying Countries"
An incarcerated Otto Octavius bemoans the copious spelling errors he's found within the Sokovia Accords, which did indeed have 117 countries ing it in the main MCU as well.
16 Blue Fin Breakdown II
A billboard in the background of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episode 9 can be seen for some type of pirate-themed movie or game, likely a nod to Rockstar's Red Dead Redemption II.
15 "Are You Super-Soldier Now?"
Lonnie Lincoln is exposed to a chemical that was held in Otto Ocatvius' lab, granting him super strength and durable skin. As such, Spider-Man questions if Lonnie's now a super soldier like Captain America, and replicating the Super Soldier Serum was likely Octavius' goal with this chemical.
14 Spider-Man's Rage Mirroring No Way Home
Peter tries to kill Mac Gargan's Scorpion after he seemingly kills Lonnie and threatens to kill everyone Peter loves, only for Lonnie to stop him before the Webslinger goes too far. This mirrors Tobey Maguire's Spider-Man in No Way Home, stopping Tom Holland's Peter Parker before he could kill Willem Dafoe's Green Goblin in a similar state of rage.
13 Diox-3 Confirmed
Securing Otto's tech that the 110th Gang tries to steal, Norman confirms one of the only damaged vials was Diox-3, the chemical Lonnie was exposed to. Diox-3 is the same chemical agent responsible for Tombstone's abilities in the original Marvel Comics.
12 "If This Be My Destiny..."
This is the title for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man episode 10, a reference to the iconic Spider-Man story in the comics where Spider-Man gets trapped beneath heavy machinery and finds the strength to lift it and free himself. This same moment was also recreated in the main MCU with Tom Holland's Spider-Man in 2017s Spider-Man: Homecoming.
11 21 Jump St.
Having no idea what Norman Osborn is talking about when he accuses the Sorcerer Supreme of attacking Midtown, Doctor Strange references 21 Jump St, promising that he doesn't go undercover at schools to then blow them up.
10 A Classic Doctor Strange Name Joke
Spider-Man's team-up with Doctor Strange opens with a classic gag about the Sorcerer Supreme's name. Telling the Wallcrawler that he's "Strange", Spider-Man replies that he's no more strange than the gooey alien trying to kill them. Naturally, the same brand of joke can be heard more than once in the main MCU timeline.
9 Dark Dimension
Doctor Strange tries to exile the symbiote into the Dark Dimension (first seen in 2016's Doctor Strange). However, Spider-Man accidentally went into the realm of Dormammu after the alien, forcing the Sorcerer Supreme to bring them both back out.
8 A Hive of Symbiotes
Attempting to send the alien symbiote back to its home in space, a massive hive of multiple symbiote heads can be seen, suggesting that the original symbiote may have indeed come from Klyntar, the homeworld of the symbiotes in the original Marvel Comics. Klyntar is also a prison for Knull the Symbiote God who made his live-action debut in Venom: The Last Dance.
