Episode 42: My Spider Academia

This week, we're joined by our special guest LaNeysha Campbell to discuss the anime phenomenon My Hero Academia-specifically, the similarities that Izuku "Deku" Midorya shares with Peter Parker. How was MHA creator Kohei Horikoshi inspired by the Spider-Man mythos? How does Deku's rivalry/friendship with Katsuki Bakugo mirror that of Spidey and the Human Torch's? And what of Deku's new abilities, Blackwhip and Danger Sense-which also happen to mirror Spidey's web-slinging and Spider-Sense? We also give our thoughts on Eternals and the new Morbius trailer!   Spoilers for all of the My Hero Academia anime throughout the episode.   You can follow Neysha on Twitter and Instagram at @NeyshaPlays.   Follow Into the Spider-Cast on Twitter @IntoSpiderCast and Instagram @intothespidercast.   Follow the hosts on Twitter @CJWritesThings and @spiderswarz.   Please support us on Patreon!   Support Black Lives Matter and affiliate causes and organizations.
