A series of Marvel documentaries?! Sign me up! - is what i initially thought. But a few episodes in, I couldn't help but feel that Marvel's 616's main purpose is to sell Marvel merchandise and propagandize recent titles. Only the episode on the Japanese Spiderman TV series struck a true documentary tone and I loved learning about how that series came about. The other episodes strike a classic, TV paid programming tone of commercials masquerading as content.
