Back in October I reviewed this title and gave it a 5 then later on I watched the entire series then gave it a 7. But recently I have been debating on whether if this show is really that bad after overseeing and guess what. This show, Ultimate Spider-Man and The new Spider-Man cartoon are easily the best shows. I do like Spectacular Spider-Man but I don't think it is as good as the ones I have mentioned above. All though Season 4 was a massive disappointment because of the whole Mary Jane is a water clone thing I don't know how cartoon or anime logic works but I am pretty sure if she was a water clone Peter would known the difference for example her body temperature would have felt like a hot water bottle and she would have been more heavier than an average human. However The Six Forgotten Warriors arc and The Secret Wars arc was good. But in my opinion the show should have ended after the episode The Wedding because that episode felt more like an ending then the I really really hate clones part 2 episode because Madam Web promise Spider-Man that they will Mary Jane. But the show was left unresolved because we don't see him actually find Mary Jane.If they were going to make a season 4 they should have also made season 5 where we would be introduced to Peter's parents, Gwen Stacy, Sandman, more of the other marvel characters like Iron Man's team from his series (Spider-Woman, Hawkeye and the other characters), Ghost Rider, etc. We could have even seen Black Cat and Spider-Man reveal their identities to each other.But no Marvel threw all of that away for that abomination Spider-Man Unlimited. However what was stupid was that Electro is Red Skull's son, Herbert England was a ripoff of Two Face, this version of Mary Jane was annoying (to the point where she was dead weight and Ptere should have married Falica instead) and they killed off Mysterio because he was in love with an actress. Also the Madame Web/Anna Watson moments were annoying as well. But the Sinister Six, the venom and carnage and the hobgoblin episodes were good. The art style, voice actors, stories were good. Overall I would recomand this show if you are a hardcore Spider-Man fan.
... View MoreI know this is a Saturday Morning Cartoon in the 1990's. I actually watched this when I was a kid. Something like X-Men ages well however something like this... Is sketchy but then again it isn't terrible. It could have been a lot worse.The animation of this show especially in the earlier episodes, isn't particularly good. I am not judging it based on that but it sometimes gets awful. I remembered the animation being a little better but I guess it's just one of those things.Then there is the stories I'll give credit - they're not that bad. I mean the Venom storyline is one in particular that I would like to see handled in a non-corny light. They didn't do that well in places, towards the end Venom falls in love with a girl who did nothing but say he was crazy. You have things like that all throughout the run of the show.Now onto the corniness. I did elaborate on some of that in the last paragraph but I'll tell you where the cheese really shines through - the dialogue. I know this is a Saturday Morning cartoon but this is almost on par with the 1960's Marvel Super Heroes cartoon - yes it is on par with that.Aside from that there isn't much to comment on with this show, if you have children that are really into superheroes this one is definitely worth a look for them. Chances are that you may like it too if you can look past the cheesiness of it all.
... View MoreI grew up watching this series and I loved it. I was always looking forward to watching this when I came home from school back in the 90's. Its perfect with great story lines, well-based off of the original comics. The only thing that was missing was Gwen Stacy but I was perfectly fine with that. The creators did a great job. I only wish someone could make a new Spiderman TV series, just as good as this one, with well drawn characters (not the stupid Japanese anime crap) that the children of our generation today could love Spiderman as much as I did.The villains in this series are amazing, my favorite is Carnage. If you actually compare this series to the original comics, it is actually so close to being exact. That's what people want! They want a classic Spiderman based off of the original comics. Not like the crap movies that have Toby McGuire in them. He is a terrible Peter Parker. This series is totally worth it. Check it out on Netflix.
... View MoreI woke up early pretty often to watch re-runs of this show, and cutting a little sleep was definitely worthwhile. This show is a perfect edition to the spider man universe. Every episode has strong animation,a clever and compelling story, suspense you will enjoy, plenty of action, and often a twist you don't see coming. Character emotion is a little weak, but gets the job done. The show usually leaves off in one episode to continue in the next, and this is surprisingly fun. Guest stars from other marvel stories are sometimes brought in to stir things up. When a kid grows up, this is something they will look back on.
