A faithful adaptation of a famous scene. Just one of many reasons people like Spectacular Spider-Man I guess.

Yeah, it was also the last time they really did it. USM had it morphed into a Superhero debut and Marvel's Spider-Man didn't have it with her introduction.
I don't know if we'll hear it in the PS4 game. I think we'll be lucky if she calls him "Tiger" at all during the sequel.

Gwen Stacy wasn't a rich girl at all, but this version of Felicia Hardy was a try to prove something different in Spider-Man's universe without repeating exactly what was written in the comics; like Doctor Octopus being originally a teacher of Peter Parker before going bad.
They couldn't use Gwen Stacy in the series because of the censorship about the character's death in the comics; although the story was recycled and modified with Mary Jane instead. Her death was avoided with the excuse about MJ being trapped in a dimensional limbo. So, they decided to use Felicia Hardy as Parker's first love interest and they give her that blonde appearance. Eventually, when we reached the point of Felicia becoming the Black Cat, they used the excuse of the Captain America's Super-Soldier Serum to explain her transformation into her "platinum hair" version from the comics.
Eventually, when the series was about to end, they finally added Gwen Stacy when Parker visited an alternative reality. Since we were talking about an alternative reality, there was no reason to follow any previous "script". (I mean, Kingpin was Peter's lawyer and Uncle Ben was still alive).
And the key to saving all reality from Spider-Carnage, just by reaching out to the heart and soul of the real Peter Parker still inside him. Also, Mary Jane showed up in that last episode as kind of a throwback to her original comics' "party girl" characterization, since alternate reality and all.
The spider is always on the hunt.
