Spider-Man Commentary: Day of the Jackal, Part 1
As noted at the end of the treatment, "S01E23 "The Day of the Jackal, Part 1" Open in new Window. is adapted from a real-world episode, "Spider-Island, Part 1." One of the first things I did when I started outlining my "alternate series" was to delete the 5-episode "Spider Island" arc, which I found ridiculous and world-breaking. However, enough of that arc remained part of the Jackal's plan and motivation that when I came to outline the 3-episode story that would climax the first season, I decided to ransack the original for ideas and plot beats. The result is a storyline that retains the same shape and almost all the same action beats and plot evolutions of "Spider-Island, Part 1", but which means something quite different. It's a reminder that meaning in art and storytelling depends not only on intrinsic factors, but also on the context it appears in.
