Welcome, indomitable reader, to Popverse Predicts. In this new, semi-regular series, we're going to be forecasting the events of the most popular upcoming movies and TV shows utilizing some of the most brilliant pop culture soothsayers we know of: that is, your humble Popverse team. Keep scrolling to learn what Popverse Predicts will happen in... the season 1 finale of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. 

But be warned: Spoilers follow.

After just four weeks (and ten episodes), Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 1 has wrapped on Disney+. Don't be too sad, now, not only did we get three episodes released on the last day, but Marvel Animation has already confirmed not one but two seasons to follow up after this one. But hey, we're getting ahead of ourselves here. As of this writing, what we should be concerned about is what happened in the season 1 finale.

We thought the best way of coming up with an answer besides bugging Kevin Feige's offcie (and God knows, we're trying), would be to take the pulse of some pretty reliable pop culture prognosticators, that is, the Popverse Team. Here's everything that we thought was going to happen come episode 10 of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, followed by which of us actually got the most things right (highlighted in bold).

Read on, web-heads.

Chris Arrant, Editor-in-Chief

• The Avengers are teased directly
• Gwen or MJ show up in the finale
• Some Multiverse shenanigans are directly happening
• We get a tease of his classic costume

Trent Cannon, Senior Contributing Writer

• Captain America is gonna show up in the finale to set up a Civil War storyline
• Doc Ock learns Spidey's secret Identity and kidnaps Aunt May
• Iron Man pops up to try to recruit Spider-Man to the Avengers
• Spider-Man has to fight without his suit on to show he is more than just the suit.

 Grant DeArmitt, Staff Writer

• That symbiote (?) we saw in episode 1 will return
• Someone will mention Diox-3, the chemical that gives Lonnie Lincoln (Tombstone) powers
• Norman Osborne will be seen testing a glider
• Someone in the show will be heard singing the classic "Spider-Man" theme

Graeme McMillan, Editor

• We'll meet another Spider-Man from across the Multiverse to set up a Spider-Verse future storyline
• Norman Osborne will be revealed to be full Green Goblin behind the scenes and behind all the bad stuff
• At least one of Nico's fellow Runaways will be introduced as a side character ahead of the next season
• There will be a cliffhanger that will make the wait for the second season seem impossibly long

And the winner of this Popverse Predicts is...

Wow, we managed to get a couple things right about this here season finale! Chris and I were all able to guess not one, but two things right about the last episode of Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man season 1. And even though he only got one, Graeme's "cliffhanger" call might as well count for two points.
