Spider-Man

This show is definitely not what Spider-Man needed to be redeemed from Ultimate Spider-Man series, but in ways is just as good or maybe a bit better. Unlike Ultimate Spider-Man, this show is a little more serious and yet not as creative in design. The character designs are pretty simplistic and almost every character is just a slightly different replicate of the other. One thing this show does have, is its ability to take things pretty serious for the most part and still stay true to a high school version of Peter Parker.

Some major issues that I have concern for is staying true to it's source material. Everything that happens and is placed in the show is from some form of comic, but not in a way that will please the fans of Spidey. Some of which includes Horizon High and Peter getting transferred from Midtown over to there for school instead (happens in first 2 episodes). There are other minor issues like that, plus the character development is either too weak or too fast-paced, at first. As this series progresses, you get to understand each character and get more and better development from the characters. Some other character arcs I feel were pushed too far in advanced or just too predictable, especially if you are a fan of the comics. What I mean is there are characters that you may know to develop and become a villain later in the show.

The good thing about this show is that it is enjoyable and really embraces and focuses on Spider-Man at it's core rather than universe building. Don't get me wrong, there is some of that, but its not as forceful as Ultimate was. It definitely almost feels like Disney is trying to look at Spectacular Spider-Man and their Ultimate series, and they are trying to take the good from both. At first I failed to see any success in that, but as you delve deeper into the series, it really pays off. You get a lot of unique story arcs and lesser known characters and villains making their debut and it's more exciting than I thought. Still not a "Spectacular," "Ultimate," or "Amazing" series, but for just being labeled as a basic Spider-Man, it really is pretty basic.

PS: Ultimate Spider-Man did not live up to it's name

To be honest I didn't like this series. First of all I didn't like the style of the drawing and secondly the characters. It is a complete remake of the story of the character, his friends and enemies with the aim of attracting a younger and more modern audience that recognizes the links to the movies.

I'm suprsed at the low ratings on this one, and the genral hate people are giving it. As if being a life long fan of spider-man gives them the right to basically expect everything to be the same as it was when they were 6 years old. The writing is pretty decent, and the reimagining of certain characters and their roles is refreshing. Personally to me it strikes a good balance between familiar and new, and it's still more on the familiar side than not. The animation is anime inspired, and I think its good for the purpose. Give it a shot to have fun, and you won't be disappointed.

I think Spider-Man animated series must follow the same storyline as the original comics. And this series definitely doesn't do that ! There are huge changes in what we're used to see about spider-man. Some might say that's good , but I don't. The story is too sentimental and sometimes things are too irrational. Like they made it for 9-year-olds than teenagers. For example Pete and Harry are enemies now and 10 seconds later , a simple emotional scene happens and they are best friends. I consider this series a step back from the Ultimate Spider-Man. (And even that wasn't very good.) In my opinion , Marvel should simply stop adding idiotic characters and happenings to its animations and make a little more rational and more like the comics.

To say the show is an understatement of feeling a little bland and how it tells it's ongoing story narratives but it's adequate in the adaptations of trying to be something about Spiderman and for that I will say it's good but even though the animation in action and was acting is done well I have to say is a good step in the next direction of possible marvel animated shows
