Spider-Man Commentary: Trick or Treat

"S02E10 "Trick or Treat""  closely follows "Bring on the Bad Guys, Part 3," but it almost got a major rewrite. I wasn't happy to see Jack o'Lantern show up. He is very much a Green Goblin clone, and I wanted to save Green Goblin for the "Superior Spider-Man" arc, as he is an antagonist in the comic book version of that run. But I decided to make a virtue of the similarity, and to keep JoL as a one-off who sets up and anticipates the coming of the Green Goblin.

So the only changes are: Acts I and II swap places. The character of Halloween Master is new. Hammerhead replaces Silvermane as the gangster (a change motivated by events in "S02E07 "A Game of Cops and Robbers"" ), and the final fight is with a cyborg henchman rather than the cyborg Silvermane.
