10 Best Spider-Man: The Animated Series Episodes
3. Turning Point (S3:13)
Today, we expect that a season finale of a TV show should either end with a bang or leave us in suspense with a cliffhanger. While many episodes of Spider-Man: TAS did leave us wondering what would happen next, no episode was more shocking than Season 3's Turning Point.
The final chapter of The Sins of the Fathers story, Turning Point follows on the heels of Goblin War! After Green Goblin bested Hobgoblin, he used the Time Dilation Accelerator to try to uncover Spider-Man's secret identity.
He succeeds and Peter's worst fears materialize.
In an intense variation of "The Night Gwen Stacy Died", Green Goblin kidnaps Mary Jane and takes her to the George Washington Bridge. As Spider-Man and Green Goblin battle, Osborn sends missiles at the bridge, causing Mary Jane and the Time Dilation Accelerator to fall. The device turns on, sucking Mary Jane into the void. Spidey and the goblin battle for control of the damaged device, causing it to create a vacuum that sucks Osborn in as well.
We're left with Spider-Man in a state of shock as Mary Jane cries for help in limbo. That's one hell of a season ending for a kid's show.
