People tend to forget the old Fox kids Spiderman had some flaws to it to. Good show but it had its flaws.
The old Fox show tried to compress all these epic ass storylines into 30 minute episodes. Then there was the general lack of punching.
So far the new show’s story and animation have been acceptable. But these super-simplistic character designs aren’t very inspiring. Hopefully the toys don’t suck.
Also. BND = Fucking sucks.
I just watched both episodes, and I don’t see why you are all complaining about it being emo…
The episodes were both fairly action packed, and both left the major villains being stuck with the regular police(completely escapable).
Personally I think this show brings a lot more to the table than the early 90’s version(even though that still holds a special place in my heart)
This show is currently coming on? What time and station? Has “wolverine and the X-men” started as well?
LOL revolving door policing??
The show is emo???
Saturday mornings @ 10 AM
Kids WB
Am I the only one that thinks this Intro for The Spectacular Spiderman is just simply horrid???
Intro’s to me are one of the most appealing parts to getting you hyped for the Intro (Look to TMNT from the 80’s, Batman from the early 90’s, even X-Men from the early 90’s). However this one…I have the feeling of…oh my gosh, just end already.
Saw episode 1, it wasn’t too bad, I don’t really like how the character’s faces look though, I know that’s the artwork and the style, but it doesn’t really appeal to me. So far it isn’t too bad, Spiderman did get his abilities when he was a late teen, so we’ll see how it goes.
Only been one episode so I can’t fully judge it completely yet, maybe after a few more, I can get a better idea of where they are taking this.
However, the Intro itself is just completely horrible, that’s an F-Grade imo.
The intro sucks ass. I blame the taste of music of kids these days.
I’m glad we’ll be getting chunky Doc Ock. I like muscular Ock too but it seems like its been forever since Fat Ock has been in animation. And did anyone catch the Spider-Man 2 homage scene with Spidey on the train making his way to school? :wgrin:
I ain’t big fan of the intro but I have the feeling it’ll grow on me. I found myself humming the tune a lot after the show was off.
I don’t like the really big pupils. It’s very strange to me and sticks out. But other than that, I like practically everything about the show so far. I was shocked that the girk of Peter’s affection was NOT Mary Jane. :amazed: I was shocked that Eddie Brock was a lab geek AND a football player and a I could’ve sworn he said he was Gwen’s brother (I think later it was proven not to be). I’m starting to wonder if he’ll actually end up being Venom. :amazed: It’s not impossible and I would welcome the change.
I’m a bit worried at the hits Spidey has taken. Electro gave him like… 3 full-on electric blasts to the chest and Spidey just moaned a little and got back up. :wtf: I’m not sure if Spidey should be taking those like that and at least not having his costume ripping or something.
The cellphone shit is crazy to me. He’s answering his cellphone in the middle of a fight. It’s crazy that he even has it on him. I don’t remember the spideysuit having pockets that could fit a cellphone. A spidertracer, maybe… but a cell? And I think it was flip-top too. That shit would be broken and fall out if it’s a normal cellphone.
Even though the jokes were corny, I like that they were there. That’s the Spiderman I like seeing and hearing during his fights.
But overall I really like the show and the 2 eps. It’s on my radar now and I DEFINITELY want to see more of it. 2 :tup:
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying in his best Robert Townsend voice:
We give The Spectacular Spiderman a high five!! clap clap clap clap clap
I like how Spectacular Spiderman even makes fun of the 90’s Spiderman with the “Ever hear the one about great responsibility…?” Yada yada. I hated how in every episode the 90’s one spewed that shit out.
That being said, I’m not saying Spectacular Spiderman will be amazing. I will continue watching it though. It’s entertaining and I do miss watching Spidey Saturday mornings.
Are you the only one who doesn’t read any other post in threads in which you post?
But yeah, I dislike it too.
I dug the cell phone bit. I like that he has a relationship with Aunt May, and it gives him something which will no doubt pop up at an inopportune moment and give him trouble. Plus, it’s a good example of him having to balance his secret identity and his “normal” life.
The cartoon seems oddly old school to me.
I did too. I mean I don’t think his celly should have been working anymore but since it did it was pretty funny to have him talking to May while fighting Electro.
I really love how since this is a younger spiderman he has all the confidence in the world when he’s under the mask. But once it’s gone he’s a punk.
Oh and I’m glad that you get that old school vibe. That means American animators are getting off the anime pipe for a change.
ya this cartoon is hella old school…but clearly has alot of ultimate flavor…i mean this isnt super dorky peter…he’s like peter when i was in college…still dorky but still has that pimp aura about him. you saw liz wanting that nerd dick.
i mean shit we got gwen stacy…you know this cant end well lol. all these kids are gonna be like who the fuck is gwen stacy?! all the adults are gonna be like…oh thats peters pussy that he snapped the neck of.
I’m perfectly fine with the simplistic character designs because it means we get much smoother animation in motion. Take Spidey’s web-slinging scenes, or when he was going toe-to-toe with Fancy Dan. My jaw hit the floor because it looked flowed so freaking smooth. Spec Spidey’s animation OWNS '90s Spidey animation. Of course I guess that wasn’t hard to do.
Norman Osborn is pretty ballsy in Spec Spidey. Vulture had him hundreds of feet in the air and he still refused to apologize and pay him. He even insulted Toomes. Freaking great!
Can’t wait for Doc Ock to show up. He’s gonna be fat Ock in this version. Bout time. Has there even been fat animated Doc Ock?
he’s been fat 90’s of the time…he just got more jacked the longer he was doc oct. h always starts out fat…and shit i swear to god thats the voice of doc oct in the movie.
Since you (RH) mentioned some easter eggs earlier, I did hear Spidey refer to himself as The Amazing Spider-Man, which was an obvious one, but funny given the name of the show.
I hope Ock hands Spidey his first loss. There’s no real reason for them to do it that way (again), but it’d be sorta nice.
Yeah a TON of easter eggs are in the first episode. On the chalk board in class you can see the names of the first 3 eps of this season. This was something someone pointed out to me on another message board.
As for the title of the show, given that Amazing Spider-Man comics right now are not so um, amazing, I think Spectacular is a much better name.
EDIT: maxx, your above post is freaking hilarious!
Man, it took me forever to find this thread. I was ready to make a new one when I finally spotted it after multiple searches.
4th ep was my fav. “Don’t go emo on me bro.” Was that a crack at Spidey 3? MJ got mentioned so hopefully she should be showing up soon. :woot:
