like 3rd ep more cuz got fired being… uh whats the word I’m loooking for
Yeah, this is the first time I’ve ever seen Shocker not totally suck. He’s always jobbed to Electro until he got a shield all of a sudden.
So true Sep. I was quite surprised. I was like “Wait hold on… is he fucking Spidey up while not looking like a dumb ass? This show is bananas.”
I was hoping we would see MJ later. Like next season later. Can another generation grow up with seeing a relationship bloom between Gwen Stacy and Peter Parker? But of course only to have to her die later!
The action in that last episode was quality material. This show has made the bad guys in Spiderman’s world much more interesting. This is also better than the MTV Spidey cartoon, since this is bound to last more than a few episodes. It was a shame that previous Spiderman cartoon was stuck on MTV…a network that happens to be run by some of the biggest morons in the television industry…ah, such a terrible network that is. Y’know it’s actually even worse now? Most people gave up on that channel several years ago, but I was still watching…it’s too bad even for me at this point. I’ll still check the Hills from time to time though, just to check on my baby Audrina Partridge…I’m rambling way off the topic now. I look forward to how they’ll handle a Venom storyline. That’s probably the big one they’ll save for a season finale with a cliffhanger.
*I actually had a dream that I had Spiderman powers last night…swinging through the city on webbing was more difficult than I would’ve imagined…I was actually terrible at it, and nearly hit the ground on several occasions. Sometimes I would scrape the damn street from shooting the next webline a bit too late, or making an incorrect judgement about the distance, height, and momentum, etc. It was strange, exciting and hilarious all at the same time. Dreams are so much better and more fun than reality.
The only thing, so far, that’s been bugging me about this show is that each villain ends up being a one-episode wonder, and I feel like they’re going to start running low on new content pretty soon.
I also hope they don’t even touch the Venom storyline at all this season. It’s still too early, and they haven’t even done Green Goblin yet. I personally feel that Green Goblin would make a good season finale while the Venom hype can stick around and wait for the end of season two.
Too bad the Venom and Doc Ock figures are already out. You know what that means Sep 
Yeah I’m not sure why they are just running through the entire Spiderman rogue gallery so soon. If we are watching episodes about the Buzzing Beetle next season then it’s over for the show.
It could work, actually, as long as he doesn’t kill any villains. It feels kind of like the way The Batman started, with a new villain each week until all the majors get introduced and then switching over to a more plot-driven show with repeat villains.
We’ll already have Venom by this season’s end. But they are already working on season 2. With Greg Weisman and his crew on the show, I don’t think things will get stale anytime soon.
Like the rest of you, I was very pleased with Shocker. Who cares if Her Schultz isn’t in the suit? Montana Shocker worked just fine.
I liked the advice Norman gave harry towards the end of the ep. He basically told him to grow a pair of balls when he said “cowboy up.” I was surprised to see Norman give Harry GOOD advice.
Million, I must know: what do you think of Betty Brant on this show? I think she’s hotness! Also, what are your thoughts on Gwen? I like Gwen and think she’s cute. This show actually has my fav version of Gwen. But right now, Betty holds the hotness rights card on this show.
Oh and Phil Lamar is voicing Randy and Robbie Robertson. But no surprise there. 
Betty is the broad in the newspaper office, right? Yeah, she’s alright. Gwen has the geek appeal, plus she’s naturally the more realistic goal for Peter, since Betty is apparently 20something already. Plus there’s the fact that we know he’s supposed to Bone? Gwen eventually anyway. Geek appeal goes a long way in my book. There should be more geeky, nerdy girls…I’m usually a fan of those types.
Actually Peter and Gwen never screwed.
I’m interested in seeing how Gwen will react when MJ shows up. I wouldn’t mind seeing Liz’s reaction too.
We’ve got Sandman next week. I’m hip.
Is Sandman the same dude who does Bender from Futurama (John Dimaggio)? Sounds like him.
Anyway, yeah, still liking the show. I like that Peter ends up looking like an ass, but is still a likable character. I too worry about them running through all of their villians a bit too quickly (when will we see Cardiac or The Tarantula?), but I like the villians a lot so far, and the overall feel of the show.
Randomly, remember how 1990s Fox Spidey was all buffed out and shit, for no reason?
art style is bad imo but it still looks better than the new transformers cartoon. Overall I dont mind the series so far. I thought Harry was suppose to be a player and popular, here he’s shown as a outcast which I thought was weird…
Another good episode. “Don’t go all emo on me bro”. I loled. I really like Spidey’s fighting banter. It still takes me a few minutes to get used to the humongous pupils on everybody’s face. JJJ was hilarious. It looks like they took his scene-stealing straight out of the spiderman movies.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
It bugs me that Spiderman takes so many full-on shots. He took at least 4 blasts from Shocker and Spidey barely sold them.
You are correct, Sandman is voiced by John Dimaggio.
I don’t think we’ll see Cardiac or Tarantula at all. Greg Weisman and crew said their main inspiration for the show comes from the Lee/Ditko & Lee/Romita era. I never liked Tarantula so I have no problem with him never appearing. Ever.
Ha, yeah 90s Spidey was pretty buff. When Spidey first appeared he was pretty skinny, much like the version in Ultimate Spidey and in this show. I dig it.
One thing I really like about this version of Spidey is that he’s cocky when he’s in the suit, and seems to really get a kick out of being Spidey. Why shouldn’t he have some fun in that suit. I loved how he was making fun of Shocker, Marko and Ohirn.
As for Spidey taking a lot of hits, well it happened a lot in the early comics, but that’s what the spider-strength is for. He may not look it, but Spidey can take a lot of abuse.
The writing in this show is superb!
Betty: Mr. Jameson’s a decent guy, down deep.
Peter: We talking Mariana trench deep or Dante’s ninth circle deep?
Word! I’m surprised that they were able to get a reference to a circle of hell past the censors.
Yeah. Yet Norman managed to get himself a piece of that,
The random mention of prep time in the Lizard episode made me chuckle.
I hope this show sticks around.
Good ep! I didn’t know that black chick was Glory Grant in ep 2. And she’s voice by a familiar VA, Cree Summer. She gets all the black roles.
The school parts were among my fav. Loved seeing more of Gwen’s feelings for Peter come to surface. She wants him to ask her to the spring formal or she wants to ask him but he doesn’t know she’s alive. You just know he’s gonna end up going with MJ and Gwen’s face will hit the floor when she sees her. I’m hoping we get some of the Gwe/MJ rivalry for Peter’s affections that we did in the Lee/Romita days. :wgrin:
Sandman was good. Bender did a great job voicing him and that’s pretty much the way I imagined Sandman to sound.
Anyone else digging Hammerhead? He’s much better than '90s Hammerhead. Sure he’s just the Big Man’s right hand man, but he’s freaking AWESOME!
MJ gets mentioned again and Peter cringed. I don’t think she’ll show up until a few more eps. I want her in the show like NOW, but the more they prolong it, the better it will be.
This is the best cartoon on television. I don’t even know what’s 2nd. This show has done to me what the old X-Men cartoon did. It makes me wake my ass up on Saturday morning to watch it. On the day I have off and I want to sleep in, I roll over before the show come son and say to myself…
"Shit! I can’t stay asleep… I have to watch Spiderman!! :yay: "
The theme song is in my head after every show. It’s catchy, despite not being that great.
I see Gwen & Peter getting together as an eventuality. I see MJ getting with Harry at first. The kid is paid and he’s gonna be on the football team. MJ’s gonna like that. They don’t go to the school, so who is she gonna know 1st? I think it’ll end up being Harry.
The fight with Sandman was (again) friggin great. The changes of Sandman after he got hit were pretty cool. Oh and something that I noticed… Peter punched Sandman right in the face… and the cartoon showed it! They didn’t star it out like they used to do Dragonball Z. Ending was a bit anticlimactic but really… how else was he gonna defeat the guy?
And … there’s black people on the show! Hooray for black people in cartoons! I wonder how the black guy ended up 2nd string though… did you see the diving catch he made? WTF… how do you make a guy 2nd string after that? That coach should be fired.
This has been THE INVINCIBLE SWORDSMAN saying:
I love this show. This is what Saturday morning cartoon should look and feel like.
