The Wedding (Spider-Man episode)

"The Wedding" is the first episode from Season 5 of Spider-Man. This episode is based on the comic book story The Wedding!, in which Spider-Man and Mary Jane get married. In the comics, however, they go to Paris for their honeymoon rather than Niagara Falls.^[1]

Summary

Peter and Mary Jane are ready to tie the knot, but not if Harry Osborn gets his way. But their plans are interrupted when The Scorpion arrives, while Peter and Aunt May are at the bank, and kidnaps Aunt May. Spidey gives chase and gets Aunt May back, but wonders if the fates are trying to tell him something. As an added bonus, Wilson Fisk is paying for the wedding, since Peter saved his life in Season 1. Then when the big day arrives—the wedding of Peter and Mary Jane—the Green Goblin shows up right in the middle of the ceremony, and grabs Mary Jane, forcing the priest to marry him to MJ or he'll blow the church up! With a little help from Black Cat and the Mega-Slayer (controlled by Kingpin), Spidey gets in and stops the Goblin, but Liz Allen is the hero as she convinces Harry to stop and return to Ravencroft for his treatment. Then Peter and Mary Jane get married. Jameson gives Peter a news van as a gift.

In the end, the Green Goblin never gets out of limbo.

Guest starring Black Cat, Robot Goblin Warriors made by Smythe, Smythe, the Mega Slayer, Landon, Kingpin, and a real shocker: Norman Osborn (even though he's still stuck in limbo)! With such guests like: Flash Thompson, Aunt May, Anna Watson, and Robbie Robertson.

Cultural references

J. Jonah Jameson references Princess Diana in the episode: "I want to give Parker a wedding that will make that Princess Di thing look like a clambake!". However, the dialogue was altered out of respect for the royal family following her death when the episode was re-run by ABC Family and Toon Disney.
