    Just like my childhood, in that I feel like I keep getting punched in the face

    I don't know where to begin. This show...

    Okay, I could take X-Men Evolution. I could even tolerate X-Men Origins: Wolverine. I made it all the way through the mid-90's Spider Man cartoon. I grew up watching the corny 70's Spider Man cartoons, including the 'Amazing Friends' one.

    This show is so terrible, I COULD NOT WATCH IT!! It's like they decided to take everything likable about Spider Man and flush it away so they could cram in enough Avengers movie name-drops and Nick Fury screen time without actually making an Avengers or Nick Fury cartoon. Then they decided to give Peter Parker these exposition narratives with intentionally terrible animation and ungodly unfunny cartoon visuals. MJ has been replaced by a teenage Lois Lane. J. Jonah Jameson is Bill O'Reilly. The first super-villains we meet are lame even for Spider Man villains. And, the final slap in the face, Spider Man is leading a small team of teenage super heroes. The music is pretty stupid, the flashy animation attempts to mimic comic book style but only serves to bring the story to a screeching halt. I just... God, every time it looked like it might get better it derailed into pointless exposition and unfunny slapstick.

    My childhood continues to be raped. Won't someone please abort this thing before it gets any worse?

    It's Ok

    Frightful four just came out of nowhere but the show is funny... Fourth wall breaking can be annoying sometimes.......... So yeah 7/10 I don't understand the hate on this show it's not so bad.

    More like kids deadpool

    The animation and voice acting is fine, but the characterisation of Peter is completely off.

    He breaks the fourth wall constantly by talking to the audience and explaining every fine detail of his life and eventually signs up to join Shield by the end of the episode.

    So this is more like deadpool for children than Spider-Man.

    Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. offers Peter the chance to train to be a real superhero and become "The Ultimate Spider-Man"

    As the series begins, Peter Parker has been Spider-Man for one year. He has saved lives and fought super villains , but he is still in the process of learning how to be a superhero. Nick Fury of S.H.I.E.L.D. offers Peter the chance to train to be a real superhero and become "The Ultimate Spider-Man" .

While harassed at school , primarily by Flash Thompson, he is close friends with classmates Gwen Stacy and Harry Osborn. In order to help support his Aunt May after the death of his Uncle Ben, Peter is able to get freelance work at the Daily Bugle, run by J. Jonah Jameson, by obtaining pictures of his alter-ego in action.
