The Capture of Captain America
georgy_1181122 May 2023
"The Capture of Captain America" features a guest appearance by the legendary Captain America and his greatest foe, the Red Skull. This episode is great as it not only serves as an origin story for Cap (with a flashboack to World War II which led to the episode not being aired in Germany, for example) but gives a great backstory for Jameson as well.

During a celebration of "Captain America Day" (invented by Jameson) the Red Skull returns and kidnaps Captain America. Due to a misunderstanding, it looks like Spidey actually helped the Red Skull and is being hated upon by New York's citizens. So Spidey not only has to save Cap but also clear his name, so the stakes are pretty high in this episode.

Additionally, the episode has the best animation so far and features great lightning and shadowing in some scenes. There's a short scene with a costume shop that features funny cameos by Jean Grey, Luke Cage, Storm and other prominent characters.
