Spider-Man Unlimited

I loved this show when I was younger, but now after doing a little research it comes to light that the original script for the show was supposed to be about a counter earth where Uncle Ben doesn't die and Spidey gives in to Venom because he doesn't question the morality of his choices anymore.

Why oh why couldn't they have done that instead of doing this whole bestial thing =/ which is alright per se but far less interesting and thought provoking as the original script.

In summary then a good cartoon with great visuals and music but let down by the script revision because Marvel said that it couldn't do a series that contained 2 Spider-Mans but now we have games like Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions, plus I swear in the 90's Spider-Man cartoons they did an episode where there was a crossover of lots of different Spidey universes. Marvel you really missed the mark on something that could have been spectacular.

I'd hadn't seen the show until this morning on ABC Family when I caught the first episode. People had told me it was bad, but I didn't think it was the steaming mess it was.

In a nutshell, Spider-Man goes space truckin' to a counter-Earth to save J. Johan Jameson's astronaut son and hunt down Venom and Carnage. Why Spider-Man would want to hunt down Venom and Carnage after they actively leave the 'real' Earth of their own free will is beyond me. Anyway, this counter-Earth is full of animal/human hybrids like goat men and rat women (cause it ties into the whole *Spider* man thing. eh? eh?).

The animation is better than some shows, but the artists seem to want to have every color in the rainbow in every frame of animation. This only leads to a big, bright mess. The character designs are laughable. The new spider suit is cribbed from the Spider-Man 2099 costume. Venom and Carnage can turn into demon-like monsters or glatinous piles of goo. These two were human last time I checked. The animal people are just plain silly.

Animal people? Space travel? A nanite-based spider suit? I wonder if the reason Stan Lee's name appears nowhere in the credits is because he was the only person to realize that this show isn't what Spider-Man's about? This show seems to mimic the reinvention of Batman a la the WB's 'Batman Beyond.' It fails miserably. The Spider-Man movie's in theaters if you want to see your down-on-his-luck, wise-cracking, Aunt-May-wheatcake-lovin' webslinger. Skip this show unless you're looking for a laugh.

For the first time since the first "Spider-man" cartoon. Saban has actualy doen a seriers right. In this , Peter Parker/Spider-Man, finds himself traveling to alternate Earth to save a sapce traveler. Only to find himself caught up in a intersteller war. Great animation, and a decent story line power this Spidey saga,

I never write reviews, but I had to add my 2 cents to this show, btw this will be spoiler free. I've seen a few different Spider-Man shows while growing up, the amazing Spider-Man, spectacular Spider-Man ect, but nothing of that had this much ambition behind it. The story for this show was quiet unique and honestly quiet refreshing from what I've seen before. Like other reviews on this show, yes, it's plot had a few holes in it, but given another season or so, I believe this show could have really blossomed into something very memorable for the fans. New villains and old set in a alternative world of his own, Spider-Man had to overcome and adapt while keeping his identity hidden as always. I really enjoyed the 13 episodes we were blessed with, very nostalgic 90's colours, music and animation. Rip unlimited, hope it gets a revamp somewhere down the line.

great atmosphere, it has this noir-scyfi-cyberpunk story and art very well made, even the music transport you to this kind of dystopian future. one of , in my opinion, most memorable spiderman versions. the story is darker than the usual cartoons and is very mature.

10/10 for the artists and the writers

also it has some kind of social critic "animals (in this case "bestials") doing experiments on humans" now how it looks unethical? what that makes you remember? the supporting characthers have great stories besides them , git hoskins, the green globin, dr.naoko... all with their very own personalities and mysterious pasts. this story absorbs you with the narrating ,the music , and distopyan scenario.
