^with MJ, that’s also a good way to get Harry to resent Peter Parker even more.
Dad seems to like Parker more.
Parker nearly stole his chance to shine at football practice.
The incident with Parker ditching Harry and the rest of the crew to take pictures of Spiderman for cash.
Parker ditches Harry’s tutoring session.
Parker is smarter than Harry…one of the reasons Dad likes him more.
Harry gets a little something going on with MJ…but Parker eventually steals that from him too.
Basically, Peter becomes more and more of a giant douchebag from Harry’s perspective…and jealousy runs wild like Hulkamania…then comes more resentment, and pure hatred eventually…all very good foundations for a Season 2 or 3 villain. This is good stuff, folks.
Oh, and I was loving the interaction and silly banter between Spiderman and Sandman. This has become my favorite Spiderman show already. The previous shows have nothing on this, except superior intro themes. (*the real deal was “Spiderman and His Amazing Friends” back in the day. I have it on mp3 of course.)
I didn’t really want to make a whole thread for it…but today’s Legion was OUTSTANDING. Business has damn sure picked up, folks. Things can never be the same again, unless they go the Dallas/Bad Writing way and say it was all a dream or something. Even though it was destined to happen, this was one of the best “heel turns” I’ve ever seen in a cartoon…actually, that’s kind of rare in the first place. I need to get that recorded. Part 2 is next Saturday. For those that missed it…“Brainy” finally reverts to his true self, and has become THE supervillain. Imperiex was awesome ever since the new season started…but of course he was instantly jobber status in comparison. Brainiac “deleted” him like it was nothing. For him, it was Tuesday. I had to say it…I had to go there.
Saturday mornings have not been this good in YEARS.
ah, it shouldn’t have been a surprise. Whenever I absolutely love something in terms of entertainment…that means it is doomed to crash and burn, ending as quickly as possible. I guess we shouldn’t expect the new Spiderman to last that long either. It won’t make it to season 3, simply because I enjoy it. It’s just one of many reasons I despise this world so much, but of course that’s getting into another topic there.
Back on track…that mole or speck of shit, whatever the hell it is…that thing next to Peter’s left eye is quite annoying to look at.
So japanese imports are the only shows that can survive? oh and goofy ass cheaply made shows like “World of Quest”…
Yeah and Spidey ruled. Peter so desperately needs to be tapping Gwen. Actually, Peter could be tapping a lot of ass if it weren’t for the fact that some of these girls are taken OR too old for him or he’s just too dumb to notice.
Oh yeah and this is the bestest animated version of Sandbags ever! KEWL!
Damn, I’m pretty sad to see Legion go. Today’s ep was seriously outstanding. Spider-Man was very good too, but Legion was the better show today.
Legion
Spoiler
It looks like they’re even going to bring in Solar Superman next week to take care of Brainiac. I hope they blow the rest of their budget on that one fight, since the taste of Supes versus Brainy today was pretty cool (until Supes got owned). I was also pretty disappointed with how Imperiex went out, but I guess there really is no other way to get rid of someone like him. I’m imagining that everyone who gets “turned into data” will be restored by the end of next week.
Now that Harry is on the team, I wonder: will he distance himself from Peter to stay cool? Randy already seems to think Peter is alright.
Peter’s actions around his friends continue to be some of my fav part, rivaling the action scenes. Will Gwen ask Peter to the dance? She is soooo crushing on Peter and he is too blind to realize it. Man, I can’t believe stuff like this gets me up on Saturdays.
Spectacular Spider-Man is the best cartoon on Saturday now. Period.
First off, RIP Legion. The first season was kiddified and only had two or three really good episodes. Season two raped the hell out of it and while not JLU great was definately on the course to it. At least it will end on a grand note, although I wish I could have seen one more huge Imperiex fight.
Next, Spectacular has to be the best superhero show in years. Usually, outside of the DCAU, they take a while to get things right, ie The Batman, Legion, Xmen: Evolution, etc. But this show has hit the ground running and despite looking less mature than some of the previous shows, has displayed more depth in a handful of episodes than any I can remember.
I mean every fucking character seems to be on point. I have hated Hammerhead since my introduction to him years ago in both animated and comic form, but here he is dope (despite being ugly and not having a flat head). Osborn is a goddamn gangster and after his brief debut/cameo I can’t wait to see what they do with Doc Ock.
I Love Doc Ock. He’s so adorable. Like he just seems to love his science but it’s putting him around bad people. Awwww. Reminds me of absent minded Sumdac from Transformers Animated which has also turned out to be quite the show. It doesn’t have Spidey’s depth but the characters are really solid.
So did all the great writers on tv run to cartoons or what?
I like that they exploded Sandman in the creation scene. It was obvious to anyone who’s familiar with the material or who thought about it for two seconds that they weren’t actually going to kill the guy 8 minutes into the episode before he could become the villian… But there was a good “oh shit” moment where pre-powers sandman basically fucking exploded, and it was clear that something had gone horribly wrong. It’s would be to easy to censor something like that, but it still came through loud and clear.
It did, but it eventually got Electro toward the end of the series. Sandman just never showed up, similar to how The Batman never featured Ras al Ghul.
Dito on the Sandman transformation. Was even better than the Lizard’s. Man, they continue to amaze me with the stuff they do on this show. Dr. Octavious was like “Oh snap! What have we done?” Like he was gonna pee his lab coat. Norman is like “Scool, man. We sweep up and move on.”
Million, what did you think of Gwen crushing on Peter and him being totally clueless about it? Poor Gwen. I feel sorry for her. I think part of what keeps her from telling Peter she likes him is her being a bit nerdy. Peter seems to go for non-nerdy girls, despite most of the kids in school still seeing him as a nerd. Gwen is gonna feel even worse when MJ shows up.
And Harry got himself a chick! And not just any chick! Kenny Kong’s chick! Kenny is not gonna be happy with Harry.
