This is an enjoyable episode of Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends.
Hapless and ultra-frugal movie producer Stan Blockbuster is trying to make a Spider-Man movie (in-canon, would he have a secret identity? Probably not). His Spidey actors keep quitting, to his dismay. But one fateful day, the villain Mysterio, who has taken residence in Blockbuster's film studio campus, comes with a deal: bring the real Spider-Man to Hollywood to film a movie, and Mysterio will arrange for a series of wild accidents that will lead to Spidey's death; a subsequent film will be made of the embarrassing/lethal footage. Blockbuster reluctantly agrees, though arguably he was under duress because Mysterio reveals a robot replica of the Incredible Hulk that is under his control. Blockbuster convinces Spidey to come to Hollywood, but reluctantly allows Iceman and FIrestar to tag along. What follows is a series of disasters based on stunt sequences, where Spidey is targeted. Bruce Banner, the Incredible Hulk, is working as a janitor at the movie studio and his surprising notice of the mystery of Blockbuster leads to the Hulk's appearance, which sets off the climax of the episode. Very good characterization of all the primary and supporting characters. That the movie producer's first name is "Stan" may be an inside joke against Marvel maestro Stan Lee. The Hulk never showed up again in an episode of the show, and that's too bad. But this was a solid appearance.
