Would you believe that. out of all places, this came from a Garfield TV Special?
it was called Garfield and His Nine Lives, back from the 80s where Garfield was a juggernaut rather than an ironic joke, and it’s one of the weirdest, most experimental things to come out of American TV animation, and I wish more mainstream stuff would take risks like this.
This cartoon (and the special as a whole) come from a book of the same title. I owned it at a kid since I grew up in the time when Garfield wasn’t regarded as a washed up franchise. The special actually has some different stories from the book itself.
Why you ask? Well, probably because the original seventh life of Garfield was called “Primal Self”, and featured a dark, silent horror story aesthetic about a house cat who encounters some kind of spiritual evil that reverts it to a feral mindset. The story LITERALLY ENDS with the cat about to maul an old woman to death.
“I can confirm that, that is Peter Parker,” Holland said.
“I can confirm that as of today. I literally had a conversation with Kevin Feige only 20 minutes ago. Maybe I’ve just done a big, old spoiler, but it’s out there now,” said Holland. “It’s cool. I like the idea that Peter Parker has been in the universe since the beginning.” (x)
