This episode of Spider-Man: The Animated Series, which introduces Big Wheel and Rocket Racer, has been often regarded as one of the show’s worst. But it’s also one of very few instances of a cartoon then (and even now) directly confronting institutional racism from a Black perspective, and in this case deals with those experiences in a surprisingly pointed and even elegant way. “Rocket Racer” is good, actually!
We’re watching Spider-Man: The Animated Series: Season 3, Episode 5: “Rocket Racer”.
