Spider-Man: primer año

This show is one of the better recent products the MCU has delivered and I'm shocked at the amount of negative reviews.

The animation is fantastic, mixing simple images with complex movements. It's very clean animation-wise compared to recent animated hits like the Spiderverse series and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Mutant Mayhem. It's unique enough to help the show stand out while staying simple enough to take nothing away from the other well done aspects.

I've also been very impressed with the voice acting all around. Many of the voice actors appear to be paying homage to the voices we are used to, almost putting their own take on those who came before them.

Overall this is worthy of a watch.

This show has a certain charm to it that's tough to put into words... But I can try!

If, like me, you've been a Spider-Man fan for more than 29 years, you've likely seen the New Yorker go through several shows, movies, games and everything in between. But, seldom does the medium convey the hero's innocence and nostalgia like a comic book read. And that's exactly where this show hits the spot!

It has everything you'd expect in a Spider-Man narrative, but with a lot of twists. Different characters, familiar origin stories and fresh faces.

A lot more people need to watch this, and I genuinely hope the showmakers continue to evolve this series.

A breath of fresh air; the story doesn't follow the usual narrative line typical of Spider-Man and reinvents itself by modernizing pre-existing characters, giving them new life. The characters surrounding Peter feel real and face their own struggles, especially Lonnie, whose story is phenomenal. This series is how I wished Spider-Man in the MCU had been introduced. Comic accuracy is also phenomenal: the feeling i had reading the original comics are the same i got by watching the show, Spiderman stories and Peter stories full of personal drama and "gossip".

However, the reasons that drive the character to become Spider-Man are not very clear and are barely explored. I see this as a missed opportunity to reinvent the character in this aspect.

I was a bit skeptical about the show when it first aired its first season but after watching this show marvel cooked. This show is actually a top 3 Spider-Man animated series. The story of classic Peter Parker is amazing and they never gave us his bland and already seen origin story, they gave us a better origin story that somewhere outside the multiverse. The side characters also helped and carried the show in different ways that sets up a lot for future seasons not to talk of the ending scene with Peter dad being alive. Wow well done marvel this show is truly incredible. Looking forward to more great seasons.

It's amazing to see how a series that nobody asked for and that had so little expectation becomes an instant classic.

Marvel, luckily, has been getting us used to having animated productions of the highest quality in recent years. Perhaps the exception to this concept is seasons 2 and 3 of "What if" but that's another topic. Live Action should learn from this.

This series did more in 10 chapters for the lore of Spiderman than Sony did in 8 years, obviously not much was needed, but the concept is understood. It gave us from the beginning a Spiderman that we should have seen already in the MCU and not after "No Way Home".

It has many successes, great villains, character development and much more. Possibly, its biggest weakness is the animation, in any case we know that a good script makes us forget that (right Invincible?).

You can see the love and knowledge that was put into the plot. We have just the right and necessary cameos. Excellent development of secondary characters and possibly we have rarely seen evolutions like that of Lonnie or Norman Osborne himself.

The ending, with the paradox of predestiny or canonical event within this universe, far from being simple seems to me a fair and necessary resolution.

Multiple doors are left open for plots in future seasons. We could even be lucky enough to see the Sinister Six after so long!

Otherwise, a must-see for Marvel and Spiderman fans, hopefully it becomes another mainstay (along with X-men 97 for example) for better stories and more material from this universe.
