SPIDEY SPOILERS!!!!!

Electro's been shooting electricity from his mouth since his very first appearance. We think it's cool. And your the first person to complain about it.

It was my idea to have the S6 attack in pairs. My feeling was that Ock would feel that in "Group Therapy" they got in each other's way too much, i.e. that Spidey was able to use their powers against each other. So instead he tried to send complimentary pairs, so that it would be easier for the partners to keep track of each other and NOT get in each other's way. In addition, the hope was that Spidey would get progressively more worn out, so that even if he did have some success, by the time he faced the final pair, he'd be exhausted. Of course, Ock was missing a crucial bit of info about the symbiote. And his plan didn't work. But I think it made sense from his point of view.

I'm sorry the episode didn't work for you, but I'm not sorry we did it the way we did. We liked it.
