Avengers watch Spiderman 1967 - Phantom From The Depths Of Time

Avengers Compound, Earth - 199999:

Tony, Steve, Natasha, Sam, and Peter are sparring in the Avengers Compound gym. Suddenly, a bright, cosmic flash envelops them, and they find themselves seated in a strange theater.

Tony: (looking around) This better not be some mystical nonsense, or so help me—

Rocket, Gamora, and the rest of the Guardians are busy on the Benatar when they're teleported into the same theater, looking equally confused.

Rocket: (groaning) If I have to listen to one more Celestial blabber on about "the fate of the universe," I swear—

A cosmic figure emerges in front of them—the tall, otherworldly figure of The Watcher.

The Watcher: Avengers… Guardians… Loki. I am The Watcher, overseer of many realities.

Peter: (whispering to Sam) I thought he wasn't supposed to interfere?

The Watcher: (glancing down at Peter) Normally, young Spider-Man. But this… this is a matter of great… entertainment.

Thor: (booming) And what, mighty Watcher, shall we watch?

The Watcher: Behold… an episode from your multiversal past, starring an earlier incarnation of Spider-Man.

*The screen lights up, showing the title card: Spider-Man 1967, "Phantom from the Depths of Time."

Peter: (facepalming) "Oh no… not this version."

Sam: (grinning) "C'mon, kid. We're here now. Just think of it as… educational."

The Watcher: "Watch, and witness the peculiarities of the past."

The opening scene plays, with Spider-Man swinging through a quiet New York City.

Spider-Man (on screen): "Ah, the city's quiet for a change… nothing to do but swing and dig it."

Tony: (snorting) "Did he really just say "dig it"?"

Star-Lord: "Hey, don't knock it! That was cool in the '60s!"

Peter: "It was another me from another time—I swear, that's not me."

Sam: (grinning) "Hey, don't be ashamed, kid. You're practically a '60s detective. Got any groovy catchphrases?"

Rocket: (snickering) "Dig it" is gonna be my new catchphrase. Thanks, Spidey."

Drax: (genuinely confused) "Why is he speaking to himself? Is there no one else to talk to?"

Nebula: (frowning) "Dig it"? What does that even mean?"

Star-Lord: (grins) "It was groovy slang back then! People "dug" things when they liked them."

Nebula: (rolls eyes) "Earth expressions are confusing."

Suddenly, the episode shows people screaming, "The hills! They walk again!" as robotic beetles attack the city.

Drax: (squinting) "Those creatures are impressive… but what exactly are they?"

Peter: "Uh, yeah… I think they're supposed to be… robot beetles? This show didn't always make sense."

Natasha: (amused) "Robot beetles. Someone definitely had a wild imagination."

Nebula: "Those robots? They look ridiculous."

Rocket: (laughing) "I dunno, they're kind of charming. Like if you tried to build a battle bot out of old junk."

Gamora: (deadpan) "A threat to Earth is not what I would call "charming," Rocket."

Thor: (pointing at the screen) "Look at the size of those creatures! They'd make fine beasts to battle!"

Loki: (smirking) "Or, more accurately, cartoon bugs conjured to inspire "fear." Terrifying."

Rocket: "Nah, this "Phantom from the Depths" guy has the right idea. Big robots, causing chaos? I can respect that."

The villain, Dr. Manta, appears on screen, monologuing about his plan to mine the island's lavacide and rule the world.

Dr. Manta (on screen): "If you wish to stay alive, you will be my slaves until every ounce of this precious lavacide is mined. Then I will have the power of the universe!"

Gamora: (frowning) "Lavacide? Sounds like something toxic. Why would anyone mine it?"

Natasha: (raising an eyebrow) "Lavacide? That sounds like a rejected S.H.I.E.L.D. project name."

Rocket: "Villain logic. You don't question it, you just roll with it."

Uatu (The Watcher): (breaking his silence, observing the characters) "Dr. Manta is but one of the many variants in the multiverse, a villain drawn from a simpler time, when larger-than-life threats were embodied in exaggerated forms. He seeks power, but it is not through intellect or true strength—it is through fear and bluster. His existence may not mirror a version within your own world, but he is a reflection of a style of villainy that has long passed."

Star-Lord: "He kinda reminds me of a villain named Skeletor from The Masters of the Universe. I used to watch that as a kid."

Clint Barton: "No. He resembles that red freak from Vormir when we were hunting the Soul Stone."

The group watches as Spider-Man swings into action, trying to figure out where the chaos is coming from. His "spider-sense" kicks in, and he picks up a distress signal from out at sea.

Spider-Man (on screen): "Some sort of distress signal coming from the direction of the open sea… They must have a special transmitter only my spider-senses can pick up."

Peter: (groaning) "A "special transmitter"… Right. Because that makes sense."

Sam: (laughing) "Kid, this is the best thing I've seen in ages. That spider-sense of yours is basically a sonar now?"

Tony: (mock seriousness) "I'm impressed, Parker. You're like a spider and a bat, all in one."

Steve: (nodding) "Peter's intuition never fails. He's always picking up on the details."

Natasha: (smirking) "I wouldn't say he's "always" sharp, Steve. Sometimes he stumbles into these things."

Bucky: (grins) "Yeah, guy can be a bit of a klutz sometimes. But gotta admit, he's good under pressure."

On the screen, Spider-Man picks up a distress signal from the sea and decides to fly a plane to investigate.

Loki: (smirking) "So, the mighty Spider-Man is now also a pilot. Quite a broad set of skills for a teenager."

Igor: "Before I Could Silence Him, He Sent out a distress think anyone will listen?"

Dr Manta: "I Don't Think So. And Even If They do, how Will They Find Us

In The Thousands Of Islands In The Sea?"

Igor: "Yes, Master. But what if someone still comes?"

Dr Manta: "Then I have a surprise for them! Ha Ha Ha! Yes. A real surprise!"

Igor: "You mean...The Hills Walk Again?"

Dr Manta: "Yes, Igor. Yes!"

The characters in the room share incredulous looks as the dramatic villain dialogue plays out. The tension on screen contrasts sharply with their reactions as they process just how absurd the situation is.

Peter Parker: (laughing to himself) "Okay, okay. I'm done. Walking hills? You're all on your own with that one, Doc."

Rocket: (mocking) "Yeah, the hills walk again. I bet it's the most terrifying thing ever—just wait till they start... rolling!"

Bucky Barnes: (dryly) "Yeah, walking hills. Totally terrifying. Who wouldn't be afraid of a bunch of rocks on the move?"

Loki (MCU): (sneering) "The hills walk? How pedestrian. I thought I'd seen it all, but this is a new low. I'm not even sure how to react to this absurdity."

Nebula: (shaking her head) "They can't even come up with a proper monster? The hills walk again? That's their big threat? I'm unimpressed."

Sam Wilson: (sarcastic) "Oooh, I'm scared now. I'm definitely worried about those hills coming for me. Better call in the cavalry."

Tony Stark: (sarcastic) "Watch out, Sam, the hills might just walk over you. Better get your shield ready for that."

Spider-Man reaches the island and starts battling the robot beetles.

Drax: (seriously) "These are pathetic enemies. If I were there, they would be crushed beneath my fists!"

Mantis: (innocently) "But, Drax, they're not real. They're animated. You'd punch right through them."

Bucky: (leaning back) "If I were him, I'd try something more... explosive."

Spider-Man tricks one of the beetles into colliding with the others, creating a pile-up of broken robots.

Steve: (smiling) "Resourceful as always. He took them out without even a punch."

Thor: "Cleverness does indeed prevail. But I'd have smashed them all the same."

Tony: (grinning) "Hey, not bad. Kid's got strategy."

Dr. Manta (on screen): "Curse that meddling upstart! You've beaten me for the last time!"

Peter: (laughing) "Meddling upstart"—there's a new one."

Gamora: "It sounds like something Rocket would say if his plans got ruined."

Rocket: (rolling his eyes) "Please. I wouldn't mess up like that guy."

Sam Wilson (grinning): "You hear that, kid? 'Meddling upstart'? Honestly, sounds kinda familiar, doesn't it?"

Bucky Barnes (smirking): "Yeah, 'cause you're always getting in the way, causing trouble and showing up when you're least wanted."

Peter Parker (MCU, playfully annoyed): "Hey! Someone's gotta be the annoying hero, right?"

Sam Wilson (grinning): "Just... try not to get yourself killed with all that 'meddling' next time, alright? We all like having you around."

Peter Parker (MCU, more seriously): "You know, after everything that happened in Germany... with Civil War, I thought you guys hated me."

Sam Wilson (pauses, then softens): "Hate you? No, man, we don't hate you. You might be really annoying sometimes, always yapping in the middle of battles, but—"

Bucky Barnes (cutting in, smirking): "But that doesn't mean we hate you. It just means you're... extra in the most Peter Parker way possible."

Sam Wilson (chuckling): "Exactly. You talk a lot, you get in the way, and somehow, you always find a way to make it worse. But you get the job done."

Peter Parker (MCU, laughing nervously): "Hey, I'm just trying to keep things interesting. You know, pep talk and all that."

Sam Wilson (teasing): "More like unnecessary commentary and rambling. But hey, it's part of your charm."

Loki (sincerely): "You know, you are more than just an annoying chatterbox, Peter. There's something... admirable about your persistence. You remind me of... well, me, in my younger days."

Peter Parker (MCU, surprised): "You? Really?"

Loki (grinning wickedly): "Oh, indeed. I was far more... charming in my youth. But you, young spider, have grown on me."

Sam Wilson (grinning at Loki): "Is that your way of saying you like him, Loki?"

Loki (smirking): "Oh, it's far more than that. Let's just say, there is much to respect in someone who will never shut up."

Bucky Barnes (smirking): "You might drive us crazy sometimes, but you're our crazy. So no, we don't hate you."

Loki (smiling, somewhat softer): "Yes, and even a bit of wit. A rare thing among mortals."

Peter Parker (MCU, grinning): "Wow, okay. This is a lot of compliments coming from you guys. I'm starting to feel special now."

Sam Wilson (mock serious): "Just remember, kid, when the battle gets too crazy, maybe keep the yapping to a minimum. Cause if you don't, I'll have the Reďwing cut you up and feed you to the piranhas, you dig?"

Everyone laughs, the playful teasing easing any remaining tension, as the bonds between the team continue to solidify.

Igor (on screen): "But he's still alive!"

Dr. Manta (on screen): "Have no fear. He'll come after us. He'll play into my hand, and I still have a few cards up my sleeve!"

Tony Stark: (grinning) "Wow. A villain who's totally convinced his plan is foolproof... How original. You know, if I had a nickel for every time a bad guy said, 'he'll play into my hand,' I'd be the one with a few cards up my sleeve by now."

Loki (MCU): (snorting) "Ah yes, the classic villain mistake: underestimating the hero, assuming their victory is guaranteed. If only villains could be a little more... unpredictable. This is all so... predictable. Nevertheless, I have to admit, there's something endearing about the villain's absolute certainty that things will work out. It's almost as though they believe their own delusions. In this case, I imagine the 'cards' are more like a bad hand of poker."

Tony Stark: (smiling) "So, who's betting on Spider-Man outsmarting the villain at the last second? I think we all know how this ends."

Dr. Manta (on screen): "As a matter of fact, in a moment, Igor and I will leave this desolate asteroid in a spaceship full of priceless Lavacide!"

Rocket: (snickering) "Lavacide... priceless? What is this, some kind of evil garage sale?

Peter Parker: (grinning) "Priceless Lavacide? Really? It's like they've read too many comic books and think they can make up whatever nonsense they want.

Nebula: (deadpan) "Lavacide, huh? How do these villains come up with such nonsensical names for their plans? It sounds like something out of a bad science fiction movie. What's next? A weapon that uses 'space dust'?"

Spider-Man (on screen): "Don't count on it."

Igor (on screen): "The alligator?"

Spider-Man (on screen): "He developed a sudden loss of appetite."

Dr. Manta (on screen): "I will not be denied my revenge! I will have satisfaction, even if I must die with you!"

Tony Stark: (mocking, dramatically) "We get it! You're angry, you've got a spaceship, and you want revenge. You're basically a Saturday morning cartoon villain. Move along, please."

Bucky Barnes: (frowning) "This guy is all talk. At least the villains we face... they don't just stand there and narrate their plans like this. They get their hands dirty."

Uatu (The Watcher): (solemnly) "This villain... Dr. Manta... He is a relic of his time, a product of a simpler age of storytelling. His threats are empty and his schemes unimaginative, yet he represents a certain kind of villainy that was once popular in this era. One where the villain's greatest weapon is not their intellect, but their ability to talk. This was the way of many adversaries of Spider-Man during these early days."

Rocket: (crossing his arms) "So, what you're saying is this guy's basically a walking cliché? He's not even gonna make it past the end of this episode, is he?"

Uatu: (with a hint of amusement) "No, he will not."

Dr. Manta plays a strange pipe organ that sends sonic commands to the robotic monsters.

Tony: (snickering) A pipe organ? Oh, come on, this is a Bond villain crossover.

Rocket: (laughing) Who knew you were up against Beethoven's evil twin?

Peter: (embarrassed) Yeah… villains were pretty theatrical back then.

Dr. Manta (on screen): "You will soon see the fate that awaits us all! The Mountain Monster is programmed to destroy this entire asteroid!"

Spider-Man, perched and ready for action on the holographic screen, shoots his webs at Manta in a desperate attempt to stop the villain. However, he misses, and his webs are swept away by the monstrous force.

Dr. Manta (laughing maniacally): "Ha Ha Ha! You needn't have wasted your ammunition. The organ cannot be stopped. It is indestructible!"

The heroes in the room exchange glances, their concern growing, as the enormous Mountain Monster rises, its massive form threatening to destroy everything in its path.

Peter Parker (MCU Spider-Man): (watching in disbelief) "Okay, that's… that's a big monster. How do I even fight that?"

Tony Stark (snorts): "You don't. You find a way to outsmart it."

Rocket: (chuckling) "Yeah, like that's gonna work. What do you do, just web it up?"

But Spider-Man isn't ready to give up just yet. As Dr. Manta's laughter fills the room, Spider-Man's determination hardens.

Spider-Man (on screen): "Then I'll have to see how destructible your monster is. You mentioned a shipload of lavacide—let's see how that works!"

Gamora (grinning): "Now, that's more like it."

Dr. Manta (on screen, incredulously): "No! Not the lavacide!"

The audience watches in awe as Spider-Man swiftly redirects his focus to Dr. Manta's ship, which holds the lavacide—an incredibly dangerous substance.

Peter Parker (on screen, determined): "I've got one shot at this—better make it count!"

With quick thinking, Spider-Man manages to use his webs to take control of the lavacide-filled ship. He aims it directly at the Mountain Monster.

Rocket (watching intently): "Oh, this is gonna be good."

Tony Stark: "Come on, Spidey, make it count!"

As Spider-Man steers the ship, the camera zooms in on the Mountain Monster, the impending destruction set to unfold. Spider-Man fires the lavacide at the creature, and the explosion is enormous—obliterating the beast in an instant, sending shockwaves throughout the asteroid.

[Boom! Explosion Sound]

Tony Stark: (sighing in relief) "Okay, that was impressive. I'll admit it, he did it."

Loki (MCU): (mockingly) "Well, well, well, it seems the webbed one has some cleverness after all. I shall have to make a note of that." (smirking)

As the villainous lair collapses in the aftermath of Spider-Man's triumph, the group watches with a mixture of admiration and relief. Dr. Manta's plans have been thwarted, for now.

Peter Parker (on screen, swinging away): "And that's how you stop a giant lava monster, folks. Just a regular day in the life of Spider-Man."

Tony Stark: (grinning) "Yeah, yeah, kid. Just don't go getting yourself into any more trouble."

As the episode wraps up, Spider-Man escapes the island, muttering to himself about going home.

Spider-Man (on screen): "Boy, it'll be good to get home. With all the dirt, it's still… home."

As the episode of 1960s Spider-Man comes to an end, the room falls into a brief silence. The characters, both amused and bewildered, begin to reflect on what they just witnessed.

MCU Peter Parker: "Wow, that was... something. I mean, I get it, but the whole 'lava monster' thing was definitely a bit over-the-top, right?"

Sam Wilson (nodding with a grin): "Gotta say, I didn't expect to see lava monsters on the agenda today. But hey, I've seen crazier things. Honestly, watching Spider-Man handle that was like watching a circus acrobat dodge disaster."

Tony: (patting Peter on the back) "Kid, you survived a '60s B-movie plot and came out on top. Consider this your highest honor."

Sam: (laughing) "And that heroic closing line… "With all the dirt, it's still home." Real deep stuff, man."

Peter: (grinning, sheepishly) "Yeah, alright, I get it. That was… definitely something."

The Watcher: (with a hint of a smile) "As you've seen, the multiverse holds endless versions of each of you… and some are quite peculiar."

Loki: (smirking) "Peculiar doesn't even begin to cover it."

Thor: "I, for one, am proud of this young Spider-Man. He battled valiantly and with true cunning!"

Rocket: (elbowing Peter) "Yeah, kid, don't let anyone tell you otherwise—you were downright groovy."

Peter: (laughing) "Thanks, everyone. I guess, in some weird way, this was kind of cool."

Rocket: (grinning) "Alright, kid, that was actually kind of impressive. Nice work on those robots."

The Watcher: (with a slight smile) "The multiverse holds endless forms of each of you… some of which even surprise me."

Tony: (smirking at Peter) "Well, kid, if anything, you've proven you're resourceful, no matter the time period."

Peter: (blushing) "I'll take that as a compliment, Mr. Stark."

Peter Parker: "Okay, that was... something. I mean, I know I've had my fair share of weird, but lava monsters? Seriously? That was like a fever dream."

Sam Wilson (laughing): "Kid, I gotta hand it to you—facing down a lava monster with no hesitation? That's gutsy. Or, you know, completely crazy."

Tony Stark: "Welcome to the big leagues, Underoos. If they had an award for surviving the corniest plotlines in existence, you'd take home the gold."

Sam: "Especially with that killer closing line. What was it again? 'With all the dirt, it's still… home?' Poetic genius, right there."

Peter (blushing, defensive): "Okay, okay, I get it! It was a different time! People thought lava monsters were cutting-edge storytelling back then."

The Watcher (stoic, yet amused): "Indeed, young Parker. The multiverse contains many versions of you… some more unusual than others."

Loki (smirking, arms crossed): "'Unusual' doesn't quite capture it, does it? Let's call it what it is—absurd."

Thor (booming proudly): "Nonsense! I found it entertaining. This Spider-Man battled with valor and cunning! A true warrior of his realm."

Rocket (leaning toward Peter, grinning): "Yeah, kid. That was downright groovy. You got style—even if it's in bell bottoms."

Peter (laughing, rubbing the back of his neck): "Thanks… I guess? Honestly, I didn't even think I had a strategy. Just a lot of running and hoping I wouldn't end up in the lava."

Tony: "Sounds about right. But hey, you got the job done. That's resourcefulness, Parker. Good work."

Peter (beaming despite himself): "Coming from you, Mr. Stark, I'll take it."

Rocket (nudging Thor): "See? Even the kid knows how to take a compliment."

The Watcher (turning to the group): "And thus, you've had a glimpse of a Spider-Man born from another era. An era of simpler times… and strange monsters. Perhaps next time, you'll see an even more peculiar take on your lives."

Loki: "Oh, joy. Can't wait to see what other multiversal nonsense awaits."

Sam (to Peter): "So, Spider-Kid, what's next on the list? Funky space aliens? Giant mutant rats?"

Peter (grinning): "Hey, don't tempt the multiverse. It might actually deliver."
