Mary Jane is in now…
First line:“Face it Tiger, you just hit the jackpot.” The same line she said in the previous animated series.
I’m surprised they’re making so many homages to the other Spider-man series.
I finally saw my first episode. I like the way they animate his agility, more subtle but not rushed.
The redesigns and story progression already keeps me interested.
They know that we are watching.
This is like the best animated kids show on television right now. All the jokes from everyone. How well done all the action is (that Rhino Drop was amazing). And just the current bigger story arc. When Spidey walked in Mr. Lincoln’s office and they showed a glimpse of his face I was like, “Tombstone?!” And then he turned around. “TOMBSTONE!” And after he announced who he was I was just about floored. Omg at that fight. It was so dope. Spidey got his ass handed to him. He hasn’t had his ass handed to him all season. No one has owned him that hard yet. And then now he looks like a jack ass for attacking Tombstone. And Kingpin still hasn’t shown his face yet. Damn the Kingpin is a fucking force in this show. He’s like untouchable. I’d also think that this is the best costume for Rhino so far. No cheesy rhino skin and not cybernetic cables popping out everywhere. But if he can’t take the suit off, does that mean the Rhino just poops n’ pisses in his pants?
I love it.
Today’s episode was freaking awesome! The fight with Rhino was just great and I loved how Spidey defeated him. I thought he was somehow gonna tear off the Rhino’s hide, but using steam & heat to exhaust him was good.
We finally met the Big Man, who turned out to be Tombstone. This version of Tombstone is already worlds better than Tombstone STAS! This version is freaking tall and he’s wearing a black suit, as he should be. The one in STAS was dressed like he was gonna raid some tombs. And man, I did not expect him to have the cops on his side. Totally did not see that coming. Well at least Spidey will have Captain Stacy on his side. Yeah, that was him, the dude in the blue suit with white hair. :woot:
Can you guys believe aunt May? Dang, that is one is one sneaky old biddy! She blocked Peter from Betty so she could set him up with Mary Jane!! But since MJ is hot it all works out!
And I think Harry knows something about his dad’s dealings with criminals. See how smug he looked when he closed the door on his dad’s “meeting”? Boy knows something is going on.
Can’t wait for the next new ep. Gwen will be crushed when she sees Peter show up to the dance with MJ and Eddie may think Peter lied because he didn’t wanna go with Gwen.
Also, it sounds like Octavious just made an enemy out of Norman so he may end up playing a roll in the doc’s “accident.” Screw Amazing Spider-Man comics, this show is where it’s at.
No complaint here, but there is most definitely someone from Kim Possible’s design and animation team present on this show (there’s also confirmation of somebody in the voice department) The designs and fight scene animation are just too similar. Everything about this show screams Kim Possible vs Marvel. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a couple familiar faces in the halls in a scene at school.
this was the first time I’ve seen Rhino not looking like a goofy, nearly “Mort of the Month from Wizard mag” status chump.
*the guy driving the truck should’ve been killed, btw. He was driving along at decent speed, stopped cold by Rhino…the horn burst thru the windhield, and he should’ve been impaled on that. Of course, we can’t have that sort of thing on a saturday morning kid’s show. It looks like he was saved by Saturday Morning Cartoon Physics.
*cheh, Mary Jane is not as hot as I expected. I’d rather go for Gwen.
Who else loved Tombstone? Dang, he owned Spidey with the QUICKNESS! It was like “Son, this is why I am who I am.” :amazed: Kevin Richardson does a great Keith David impression. Almost can’t tell the differences.
Fun fact: Rhino is being voiced by Clancy Brown, the same man who voiced Lex Luthor for Superman TAS and JL/JLU.
Anyone else dig that scene in the elevator with Foswell and Rhino? Rhino’s all calm and polite while he waits for his floor. That was great. 
^ which was a smart thing to do with the Rhino. The experiments done on all the super villains so far haven’t made them crazy. They just fuck shit up because they can. Sandman didn’t care about spidey, he just wanted to get rich. Rhino on the other hand does want to beat the crap out Spidey and well, did up until the steam battle. Vulture just wanted Osborn’s head which was natural since Osborn is a dick. The Shocker is just a thug in a suit. Etc.
They’re criminals, not psychos. That comes later with the goblins and venom.
Tombstone is crazy. He didn’t just owned Spidey… he DESTROYED him. You see the setup? An upper iinto a swift combo to a downward punch to floor Spidey? He’s fast,strong,and intelligent. Much better than the previous Tombstone… Tombstone showed Spidey how weak he was. You know that shook him up.
In the 90s Spiderman Tombstone got Spidey in a chokehold in a burning lab, that was dope too.
Yeah, I liked how Sandman was like “Revenge is for chumps.” Dude just wanted Money and if Spidey happened to get in his way, he’d try to take him out. Rhino on the other hand, wanted payback so he went straight for Spidey. I LOVE how they are doing the villains in this show.
Yeah, that’s why that scene was awesome. For all of Spidey’s power he was shown how weak he can be when faced with a superior. Dang, I want a gif of that scene!! That scene made my jaw hit the floor!!
lol @ the spectactular crew cheating
Damn. Clever bastards.
Well I don’t know if I’d call it cheating, but they show pays a lot of homeage to the comics and movies. I noticed many of those similarities when the show first aired. It’s one of the many reasons I love the show.
i was jokin wit the cheating lol.
Spectacular is THE CARTOON right now.
Other than the usual crack and Blue Dragon.
Top notch storytelling and animation.
And seeing as the Legion and Batman are done, Spidey is holding it down till the Wolverine and the X-Men drops whenever.
I love what they have done with show and the direction they decided on. And now it’s getting ready to take the show in some dark territories with Spidey learning what’s really going on around him and that if he wants be the hero he thinks he is, he’s gotta step his game way up.
But he finally gets to see Mary Jane. So how bad could it really be…
honestly id have preferred no mary jane…make things different. old school. i mean it is old school feeling…but they could have pushed it more.
I don’t see how people hate that intro song…
it grew on me real fast.
Cuz all it’s says is the same thing over and over… ARGH!!!
I cannot wait for MJ and Gwen to bump heads over Peter.
