With the Ultimate Spidey toon premiering on April 1st Marvel has revealed the first image of Peter Parker's team of "like minded" teen heroes (Iron Fist, White Tiger, Nova, and Luke Cage).

First up is Teen Iron Fist Danny Rand:

I probably ought to track down the complete Spectacular Spider-man series on DVD. I've only seen the 1st season.

For whatever reasons, Spidey cartoons seem to have a habit of getting cancelled prematurely before all the plot threads get wrapped up. So frustrating!

Ugh. Is this seriously what we traded Spectacular for? A sh*tty team show?

F*ck Disney.

So frustrating!It really is a shame, especially since Spectacular Spider-Man was so well-written. Season 2 was even better than the first in pretty much every respect; I don't think it got a proper collected DVD release like Season 1 did, but I still highly recommend sitting down and watching it through.

I like Iron Fist, but I dont want a teen Iron Fist. Even in the "Ultimate" universe, Iron Fist is older than Parker. His hair also looks terrible.

And who the **** cares about White Tiger?

It just seems like they're pulling the 70's B-listers that never show up in animated venues.

The only positive about that for me would be if Moon Knight shows up.

Anyways I agree with everyone. They cancelled a good show for this? I'll give it a chance either way.

What's truly perplexing is the talent they have behind the show. Bendis and Dini. This thing is destined to be great, but I am just as worried as you guys.

CyberCubed

I don't see what the problem is. If the show sucks we'll just get yet another Spiderman show within the next 3-5 years.

They churn these things out as often as new Batman cartoons nowadays.

ZariusTwo
02-29-2012, 05:39 AM
Yeah, with Bendis involved, it's little wonder there going with these characters, as Bendis is a 70s Marvel fanboy who's done his damndest to make them relevant again. This also continues Marvel's werid idea that Spidey should have some kind of team.

There's two types of Spider-Man story you can tell, the fun but ultimatley bittersweet "Parker Luck" stories (Spider-Man: TAS, MTV Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man) or the balls to the wall cheesy breeze wise-cracking yarns (60s Spider-Man, 80s Spidey, Amazing Friends), somehow, while it's very likely it'll be a bit of both, I think this will be predominantly the latter.

Eh. Looks fine to me.

Ultimate Spider-man is probably the wrong title for the show with this format. Spider-Man: The Brave and The Bold would probably be more appropriate. But hey, let's keep acting like this show is the sole reason Spectacular got cancelled.

Is it really that surprising that characters are younger the their usual portrayal in something that have ultimate in their title?

Controversial opinion: Spectacular Spider-Man was not that good. The internet needs to chill it's boner over that show.
The animation was very pretty. That's about it. The dialogue was cheesy as hell - especially in the school. The supporting cast were flat as cardboard. Harry, Gwen, May...You guys were invested in those characters? They were totally bland, in my opinion. I loved a few action scenes and being a die hard Spidey fan, the show gives me plenty to enjoy, but there is plenty of potential for better animated Spider-Man shows.

I know we've seen some sketchy stuff in regard to this new show, but it's also got a lot of talent behind it. Dini and Bendis? **** yeah!

Rikirk

The 90s series skirted around it...albiet badly.

I don't get people's love affair with Carnage...he's a pretty mediocre villain.

Or maybe you need to accept you're in a worthless minority and live with it. It's obvious you're only saying "Spectacular" sucks to troll.

The dialogue was cheesy as hell - especially in the school


Spider-Man has always had cheesy dialouge. This is you only now realizing this? Hell Bendis and Dini have ALWAYS written cheesy dialouge for their comics and cartoons, that's not a bad thing either.

As for Gwen, Harry, and May...you're aware they were ALWAYS bland in the comics right? I don't think anybody outside of puritans and 70s fanboys actually give two flying f*cks about any of them. Hell they tried killing May off in the 90s because she contributed f*ck all to the mythology. Depending on what continuity you follow she's STILL dead (Spider-Girl fan)

We've seen Teen Iron Fist, Luke Cage, and White Tiger.... ladies and gents.... Teen Nova.... Im sorry but... *rotflmao* Oh and it's not Richard Rider as Nova but a noob named Sam Alexander

Agreed. But walk into a high school, and their real life dialogue will make you cringe too.

I liked Gwen.

What more do you really want from Aunt May, dude?

Harry wasn't much, but anything you criticize in the character development department, I'll just point to the fact that the show died in season 2 and robbed them from expanding on any characters.

Gwen had to be changed a lot for "Spectacular", because there was just nothing there from the comics. MJ was always the best girl for Peter and the "Spectacular" verison of her has been the best interpretation of her to date. I'm glad she'll be his gal in this cartoon again.

AquaParade
03-03-2012, 10:41 AM
Okay Zarius, your points would be fun to debate, but you lost credibility when you overreacted, so no thanks.


ToTheNines, let your boner stand tall. I should avoid telling people what they should and shouldn't like!

You are right, real highscool dialogue is cheesy as hell, but I still think the show took it a little too far. Liz was the girl who was always yelling in that shrill voice, right? Who can even stand that character? She practically gave me a headache every time she came on screen.
Aunt May has been treated to some great characterization over the years. Bendis' May, for one example, is far more engaging than Spectacular's, who just felt like a clueless old lady.
I agree that Harry's development seemed to be going somewhere.

Yes dialogue was cheesy in the original Spidey-comics and Aunt May was basically written this way too, but I just don't find it enjoyable anymore. It's dated and as much as I respect those earlier issues, I find them flat and boring to read these days. Great ideas and concepts with uninspired execution.

I don't mean to come off on the show too hard. I believe it was picking up the pace and I'm betting season 3 would have been the best one yet. I loved that they tried to serialize the seasons, I love the buttery-smooth animation, and I love Spider-Man! But, when people compare this show to B:TAS, I get a little confused.

I don't think we've gotten our definitive Spider-Man cartoon yet.

Im not out to hate the show. I just thought teen Nova looks hilariously awkward in his costume.

Looking at the cast list there sure are alot of singers in this show....

The show will premier on April 1st at 11am. There will be another episode at 11:30.

HnBAKewaw3Q

Judging from this and the other clip I saw (where Fury talks to Peter), I can tell the "Teen Titans moments" are gonna grate on some people..not me though, I loved Titans, so I probably won't mind this.

I'm not expecting it to be the best Spidey cartoon ever, it's probably going to be like the ill-fated 2006 Fantastic Four cartoon. Disposable time-filler.

If this show is good, here's hoping it doesn't end in 26 episodes.

They should do what DC does with Batman, and give each series around 52-65 episodes before rebooting it. B:TAS of course being the exception with how long it lasted.

ZariusTwo
03-10-2012, 05:28 AM
From what I hear, they already have a second season planned.

In the possible event the show fails, I hope they see sense and NOT end it on a "Parker Luck" downer ending like every other Spidey cartoon of the last two decades. Take a note from Stan Lee and Tom DeFalco and cut Peter a break like they do.

I'm a little concerned that they're trying way too hard for the slapstick motif. Spidey can be goofy, sure, but I hope that it won't always be over-the-top enough to have the spider that's... a part of his costume... jumping off his costume? I guess I'll have to wait for the episode to know if there's any context to that one.

I guess I'll have to wait for the episode to know if there's any context to that one.

Here's the way I look at it. Disney's main target audience is 3-11 year olds. Disney advertises only the humor in Ultimate Spider-Man to appeal to said target audience. In other words, Disney doesn't care what the fans want or think, as long as the children are entertained.

I'll bet you that this show will get very dark at times (Paul Dini is writing after all) but Disney doesn't want to advertise anything they'd consider "offputing" to little kids. The way they see it, humor makes kids want to watch shows. How else would you explain all the unwatchable "sitcoms" (notice how I put quotations) they air on their channel.

So you all can blame Disney for all the hate the show's getting.

ZariusTwo
03-14-2012, 05:02 PM
Actually...no. Disney are highlighting the "humour" because part of Spider-Man's whole appeal is humour, that's something Marvel, and their dumbass fanboys, have forgotten over the years because there too busy making Spidey miserable

In truth the moronic fanboys don't want to place any fault on "sacred" talents like Dini, who has been writing pretty tame stuff for a decade now, even during his later JLU days. I don't think he's written anything "dark" since the unrated cut of Return of the Joker. I'm not saying any of his recent work has been bad either, they've been mostly pretty good.

People are hating on this because they ALWAYS hate on something fresh and different, there were people hating "Spectacular" too. It's not new. Hell the next Spidey cartoon will get the same treatment from aspies who grew up on either Spectacular, this, or the rubbish 90s cartoon

Basicly, stop thinking that Disney "don't care"...they do, and children are as much fans as the fanboys are. Some will BECOME fans because of this cartoon. Not everything has to bloody "grimdark" like that crudely animated, overrated lame-ass s*it Transformers Prime

I'll have to agree with everything you said except for the part I bolded. If you don't like Transformers Prime that's fine with me, all the power to ya. All I'm saying is that I don't agree with the last part seeing as I've been a Transformers fan for 11 years now.

TurtleTitan97
03-14-2012, 05:53 PM
Same here, Moonlight. I may not be a huge Transformers fan, but TF: Prime is not overrated or crudly animated. It's the best Transformers show in years and definatly one of my top favorites.

Back on subject, since this is made by the creators of Generator Rex I hope Spidey will be like Rex and the show will have a similar tone, a mixture of light and dark tone episodes.

New info on four of the villians from the show: Doc Ock, Doctor Doom, The Trapster, and Venom.

DOCTOR OCTOPUS:

“Doctor Octopus is actually the design that we’ve played with the most,” remarks Wilcox. “He’s not the fat guy with a bowl cut. Before the series begins, he’s suffered a horrific injury and can’t use his arms or legs. He’s essentially atrophied to the point where his metal arms have to do his work for him. His suit acts as an iron lung, and he can’t survive outside of his suit.

“He works for Norman Osborn. He’s sort of subservient to Norman, but at the same time has his own agenda. He’s more about the science at the beginning of the series, and then as we get further along, the more he interacts with Spider-Man, the more obsessed Ock gets with capturing and eventually attempting to kill him.”

DOCTOR DOOM:

“Doctor Doom is a little bit different in this series,” says Wilcox. “We’re earlier in his continuity, if you wanted to compare him to the comics, because he isn’t the evil super villain yet. He’s a dictator, but he’s not living outside the law, he has an embassy in New York, and the first time Spidey and his gang meet him, they’ve actually gone to Latveria, so they’re the aggressors in the situation.

“He’s not a magician yet in our series. He’s just about the suit and the tech and the Doombots and all the fun of that. But he definitely is the biggest bad in the universe of ‘Ultimate Spider-Man.

THE TRAPSTER:

“The Trapster is sort of Spidey’s go-to villain for the beginning of the season,” reveals Wilcox. “He’s not the intelligent inventor from the comic with a bag of tricks. On the show he’s all things glue gun. In this series, every time he and Spidey have fought, they make a big mess everywhere, and that’s sort of a catalyst for Nick Fury recruiting Spidey.”

VENOM:

“Venom actually has a completely new origin that we think the fans are really going to like in the series,” teases Wilcox. “I can’t really tell you too much about it without spoiling, but the symbiote has a link to Oscorp.”

“There’s an evolution to the suit in our series. It starts out in a more as a goo form, and then it becomes closer to the actual suit and continues to evolve further into something kind of frightening.”

New info on four of the villians from the show: Doc Ock, Doctor Doom, The Trapster, and Venom.

DOCTOR OCTOPUS:

“Doctor Octopus is actually the design that we’ve played with the most,” remarks Wilcox. “He’s not the fat guy with a bowl cut. Before the series begins, he’s suffered a horrific injury and can’t use his arms or legs. He’s essentially atrophied to the point where his metal arms have to do his work for him. His suit acts as an iron lung, and he can’t survive outside of his suit.

“He works for Norman Osborn. He’s sort of subservient to Norman, but at the same time has his own agenda. He’s more about the science at the beginning of the series, and then as we get further along, the more he interacts with Spider-Man, the more obsessed Ock gets with capturing and eventually attempting to kill him.”

DOCTOR DOOM:

“Doctor Doom is a little bit different in this series,” says Wilcox. “We’re earlier in his continuity, if you wanted to compare him to the comics, because he isn’t the evil super villain yet. He’s a dictator, but he’s not living outside the law, he has an embassy in New York, and the first time Spidey and his gang meet him, they’ve actually gone to Latveria, so they’re the aggressors in the situation.

“He’s not a magician yet in our series. He’s just about the suit and the tech and the Doombots and all the fun of that. But he definitely is the biggest bad in the universe of ‘Ultimate Spider-Man.

The Spidey-Mobile was last seen a couple years ago in the Old Man Logan story. Hawkeye had married one of Peter's daughters and aquired it in the divorce or something. Logan and Hawkeye drove it from one end of the country to the other. *lol*

You thought it was THAT bad?

I thought it was nice although some things left me scratching my head. Like, Spider-Man on a motorcycle. I'll keep watching to see how much more I can stomach though. It probably won't be that hard for me though. I guess I'm not as familiar with the whole Spider-Man thing as you might be. I've only seen the movies, and I used to watch Spectacular Spider-Man.

Eh... It came out a little more extreme than I meant it. I hadn't actually watched any of Avengers or Iron Man before. Seeing little bits of them in commercials and such yesterday showed me they aren't what I was expecting or hoping for. They're a little too Disney and not enough Marvel.

As for Spider-Man, I thought Spectacular was a perfect balance with designs straight from Disney's Kim Possible. Ultimate? I have too many other shows I'd rather spend my time on. I think the only thing that even made me crack a smile was Stan Lee being the janitor. It's just not for me.

Just finished it. Not terrible, but some of the "comedy" was just a bit off. Spidey's one-liners were ok (I liked the line on the Helicarrier, "What is this, blast Spidey win a panda!?"), but the Deadpool-esque 4th wall breaking is a bit odd.

Watched it. Liked it. Open to seeing more.

I thought that bit with Flash Thompson and the locker was great. The free comic book adaptation is pretty much 100% faithful too.

As far as characterization goes, Norman Osbourne and J. J. Jamison are predictably one-note thus far. Mary Jane is now a Lois Lane/April O'Neil wanna-be, and we've only seen the D-List villains in action.

But I think this is one of the coolest portrayals of Aunt May I've seen yet. You can actually imagine her and Uncle Ben as contemporaries to Peter's parents rather than elder relatives or surrogate figures.

Too bad there's no Gwen Stacy, though. Bummer.

"The Death of Gwen Stacy" pretty much defined Spider-man for years, and it cemented the Goblin's status as Spidey's arch-nemesis.

"True Believer" Marvel-ites should think of only one thing when they hear "Snap!" (http://farm1.static.flickr.com/199/504565403_781e96be78_o.jpg)

Every other word out of her mouth was "boys are so stupid" or something to that effect, and it looks like she'll just end up the token female character who's makes the guys look completely incompetent. Like Hermione from Harry Potter, only worse. Don't get me wrong. I like strong female characters, but just not when it has to be at the expense of her male colleagues.

Kind of a shame, humor in superhero shows can work as seen in Teen Titans and Brave and the Bold, or even the original TMNT cartoon....but here it just fails.

Of course a lot of reprints of The Night Gwen Stacy died removed that sound effect basicaly making Peter not responsible for Gwen's death so it's unsuprising some didn't get it.

Both those shows got a lot of hate. People grew to love them but there were still people all though their runs that maintained their respective forms of humour did not belong in a super hero show.

Maybe it will get better over time. I bet when Spectacular Spider-Man first came out it got negitive responses.

It did. The designs were hated as well as accusations it was stepping on the 90s show's territory.:roll:

I did like Spectacular Spider-Man but there was something "off" about and I think the previews for this show made me realise what it was; I'd seen it all before. The show may have debatably perfected adapting Spidey stories but I've seen Flash/Peter rivalry, Gwen/MJ/Peter love scenarios, Osbourne scheming etc umpteen times before.

I like the concept of this show and I'm willing to give it time to grow and impress.

Of course a lot of reprints of The Night Gwen Stacy died removed that sound effect basicaly making Peter not responsible for Gwen's death so it's unsuprising some didn't get it.

It has nothing to do with people 'not getting it'.

Snap is not a word that everyone automatically associates with Gwen Stacy. Gee Whiz.

Hence people didn't get the reference.

Her death is the one stand out thing about the character and "snap" is the one word that signifies how she died.

No, you clown. It wasn't difficult to understand the awful joke and reference, the fact that it was held up to words like "Snikt!" and "Bamf!" as super identifiable words is the part that's ridiculous.

I'd associate the word "Snap!' with f*cking breakfast cereal before I'd associate it with Spider-Man.

USM renewed for a second season? Sadly, yes...

http://www.comicbookmovie.com/fansites/NerdyGeek/news/?a=61275

'The creative team behind the animated series, which includes co-executive producers Man of Action Studios as well as creative consultant Paul Dini, will return for Season 2. Ultimate Spider-Man scribe Brian Michael Bendis (Powers) will also return as consulting producer and pen additional installments of the series.

Season 2 will feature Spider-Man team with other heroes from the Marvel Universe including the Avengers as well as explore the origin of S.H.I.E.L.D. trainees with more revealed about Nova, Iron Fist, Power Man and White Tiger.

"With Season 2, the series introduces popular Marvel heroes and villains you've never seen before on the small screen," Head of Marvel Television Jeph Loeb said.

Added Disney XD vp and GM David Levine: "As the anchor of our Marvel Universe block, Ultimate Spider-Man Season 2 will be back with more humor, villains and adventurous storylines that boys (and girls) will love." '

I wonder if Mary Jane will find out who Peter is before the second season? The demo trailer we got for the show a while ago seemed to portray her as his girlfriend, where as there not together in this season (although they used to be a couple in their early years). Not sure how I feel about MJ in this show, I just don't think she would ever dump Peter just for being himself as the comics have always established her as loving Peter more than anything...all their break-ups in the comics have mainly been because he was Spider-Man. Just another thing that's wrong with this cartoon...inconsistent characterisation.

I thought the Sandman episode was a very creative take on the character.

A guy with his powers could potentially be one of the most powerful villains on the planet if he wanted. Thus, it made sense that Fury would want to isolate him far away from civilization. And that isolation would have obvious consequences on Marko's psyche.

To me, that's one of the problems of the show. It just doesn't "feel" like a Spider-Man show with the changes they made. Peter comes off as an irresponsible kid, Mary Jane is Lois Lane in a teenage body, Nova is completely unlikeable, as well as White Tiger, and Spidey has only fought a few villians from his rouges gallery while the rest are from other heroes.

You're right on one thing, Spider-Man fights everybody else's villains and almost none of his own. But, according to Comic Con, were getting Lizard, Kraven, Electro and Rhino, not to mention were getting Green Goblin at the end of the first season. Here's his design: http://www.marveltvnews.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/IMG_0205.jpg

I dislike Nova as well, I'll give you that, I do not, however, completely dislike White Tiger. I think she was unnecessary and was only added to the show because they needed a female superhero lead, which would have been better suited for Kitty Pryde, with her role in the comics and everything.

I think the Mary Jane Lois Lane aspect is kind of true a bit, but, I think this version of the character is the most accurate, in terms of personality, to their Ultimate counterpart.

She's not completly accurate. Ultimate MJ loved Peter so much she sometimes called herself "Mary Jane Parker" in conversations. This version just wants to be friends with him. Hopefully that changes at the end of the season or in the next one. I'm sick of Marvel's current idea that the two should be friendzoned.

If your idea of humor is stopping the show every 10 seconds so Spider-man can turn into a chibi anime character and talk to the audience then yeah it tries to have humor. For me it actually has the same problem turtles has. It feels like it has ADD. Jumps all over the damn place and randomly turns into anime because kids like anime so why not? If you're 5 this show might be engaging but it has absolutely nothing to offer anyone else but the most masochistic of adults. I've seen people defend this show saying crazy stuff like "Well 10 minutes out of every episode is good". For one that's debatable but if the other 10 minutes is garbage why would anyone waste their time?

I don't know about any of that. All I know is I turned it on and it took me 3 tries to finish one episode. The show has nothing to offer an adult. Which it doesn't have to but when there's examples of successful super hero series that kids loved and adults did too it makes it annoying when one just goes straight for the kiddies. They have to know just as many adult comic fans will want to watch the show as kids. That seems to be the one thing Yost gets and Loeb doesn't.

I don't think the voice acting is great as the TMNT show. Drake Bell's delivery on the "So big and so fast" line wasn't that good. But, I'm sorry. If they only hired new writers, then it would be better. I have no idea who is writing this dialogue, but it's like this person never passed high school. The only good line is, "I always said this town was a zoo." It's corny, but works.:tlol:

His son died. He chose to retire after that, but Quesada picked him to work exclusively for Marvel while he was greiving, which, depending on the circumstances, led to either some of his best work (the death of Captain America mini-series) or some of his worst (Ultimatum, his Hulk run), many still don't think he's really recovered

Well, don't forget that Disney acquired Marvel as well as Lucas Arts so they own both Spider-man, other superheroes, as well as Star Wars and Indiana Jones back in 2009-2010ish. So they ended the show apparently for it to air on Disney and didn't want to have to start the season over with a new cast, new theme music, basically new everything since they all worked under WB, not Disney. More money just to keep the show running which they felt wouldn't have been worth it in the end (probably would lose money) which is what Disney is all about - Investments and Profits.

I've noticed this pattern with a lot of people who have bad taste in shows...way too defensive and unneccersarily arrogant, yet not up to much in terms of reasoned defense, almost as if they KNOW there's no real excuse for what they're watching. Don't fall into that trap please. If you enjoy it, fine, but you're taking your love of this show way too seriously, to the point you'll start convincing people you're not quite there in the head. It's not Ghandi you know, you don't have to take a bullet for it.

And adding "whether you like it or not" to your vow to keep posting up clips just boarders on petty childishness/trolling on your part. it's a mediocre kids cartoon. Ligthen the hell up. There will be plenty of better Spider-Man cartoons that will follow it in decades to come.

When did anyone say you shouldnt? All I said was you were an apologist...besides, you've yet to put up one intelligent defense of this show armed with valid reasoning. I've noticed this pattern with a lot of people who have bad taste in shows...way too defensive and unneccersarily arrogant, yet not up to much in terms of reasoned defense, almost as if they KNOW there's no real excuse for what they're watching. Don't fall into that trap please. If you enjoy it, fine, but you're taking your love of this show way too seriously, to the point you'll start convincing people you're not quite there in the head. It's not Ghandi you know, you don't have to take a bullet for it.

And adding "whether you like it or not" to your vow to keep posting up clips just boarders on petty childishness/trolling on your part. it's a mediocre kids cartoon. Ligthen the hell up. There will be plenty of better Spider-Man cartoons that will follow it in decades to come.

Excuse me? I have bad taste in shows?! Get a life. You can't tell me what to do, nothing and I mean nothing is legitimately bad, that's not an opinion, that's saying it's bad regardless of your opinion.

Don't start acting like a jerk and say "I have bad taste", seriously back off. What ever happened to "everyone has different tastes"? That's dogmatic.

I don't like the show, it's just not for me. They have a villian of the week and one episode and we are never going to see that villian again, kind of thing going, and that's one of the reasons I don't like it ( aside from the cutaways and spider-jerk) anyway everyone is entitled to their own opinions.

MLP isnt mediocre though, it's critically acclaimed by an overwhelming majority, just because you don't like it doesnt make your opinion global consensus.

In any case, I'm not as unhealthfully obsessed with that show either and if people want to dislike it, I don't fault them for that. I can see why it COULD be disliked.

I have never seen a single episode of MLP old or new.. so I can not comment.

I have however seen Ultimate Spiderman.. at first I thought it was "ok" But then they tried to make it something they shouldn't have... They basically tried making it X-men Evolution.

Never said my opinion meant sh*t. I'm not you.

And there's a huge difference between an overwhelming majority and a vocal minority. If Internet culture was in any way directly relatable to the real world, everything would be actively on fire.

eh. A bit of a stretch if you ask me. I really like the animation and a lot of the voice work is great, hell some of the character designs are great too. I like the looks and origins of Doc Ock, Sandman and Venom. I just think it's a bit of a misnomer if anything. And the tone is all over the place. X-men Evolution was neat and tried to go through the origins of a lot the core characters as well some not so core ones, all while being fun and kick ass. Disliked how some characters were portrayed but whatevs. Most were fine, hell even great portrayals. In U:S I don't really care about anyone. And making MJ a reporter just doesn't sit well with me. It'd be like making April a model/ actress or something.

I don't mind MJ being a journalist, since it was an angle Bendis went with in the Ultimate comics and it's a nice enough concept, It just bugs me they're not doing much with it, or making more of her relationship with Peter beyond "friendship" (the only time that ever works is if the audience eventually discovers MJ knows Peter is Spider-Man and is keeping her distance because of the dangers it poses, as in any other normal scenario, she is ga-ga about commiting to Peter)

I'd say it's a better lead-in for what will surely be that equally childish "Hulk and the Agents of S.M.A.S.H". Avengers Assemble is an off-shoot of a pretty good Marvel cartoon.

Maybe you shouldn't be on the internet. I'm not trying to sound mean, but really. If it's gonna kill you, try to stay away.

Earth's Mightiest Heroes was boring to me. I watched all of it, but it just felt kind of eeeeeeeh.

If so, then the internet is not the place for you. This is a society built on criticism of others and you shall not receive a free pass because you're feeling get hurt. Everyone on this website has faced the exact same types of insults your getting right now, whether it be here or in their own lives. The fact of the matter is, you might as well just get off the internet if you would honestly kill yourself over something like this.

Anyways, Ultimate Spider-Man's delivering more actual Spider-Man villains this season, something I was practically starving for last one. I hope the show starts to delve more into continuous stories. Honestly, sometimes I think I could have wrote some of these episodes. I'm also tired of the entirety of the group being used in almost every single episode. I believe the show should take a Justice League like approach and only use the whole group for bigger threats, like facing the Sinister Six.

Ha. Anyways, I think the show really needed to space out the introduction of the Sinister Six. I didn't like how they were basically crowded around in each other and we introduced to them back-to-back.
