Your favourite Marvel cartoon

[The Turtle Terminator]

In the title. I left out the current shows since they're $#!@

Spectacular for me. I love it.

[sdp]

No Silver Surfer? One of the best shows.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I've only seen a handful of those, Mostly the 90's or before. I had a hard time deciding between 90's X-Men and 90's Spidey, since those cartoons were what first got me interested in Marvel characters. Evolution was cool, though. I noticed the Fantastic Four was not in there, either, and that's another fave of mine. For being so short-lived, it was surprisingly good!

[Xav]

Nice to see you decide what is and isn't ****. Honestly I think I actually might have said Ultimate Spider-Man.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Pardon, was that sarcastic, or not? I honestly can't tell. Like I said, I can't judge some of the newer ones, as I don't get cable or satellite stations, so I have to go based on what I've seen. But on the rare occasions I've been able to watch Disney Marvel stuff, it's been okay. Just not my faves.

[Powder]

They were speaking to the OP. Sarcastically.

Anyway, my vote goes to X-Men Evolution, as it was the only one that ever kept my interest.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

Ah. That explains it. Evolution did have an interesting take on some of the characters, though I wasn't as fond of it, since it took so many liberties with characters like Blob and Avalanche. It WAS however, the only one to adapt the stories of Rogue and Nightcrawler being adoptive siblings, and Nightcrawler's how teleportation worked. Those were some of my favorite moments.

[Jester]

Wouldn't say it's my favorite (I would have to give that to either Spectacular Spidey, Wolvie and the X-Men, or Avengers:EMH) but I feel the 2003 CG Spidey series is criminally underrated.

Is that the MTV one? Never actually got to see more than a few clips of that. Can't remember much about it, though.

[CyberCubed]

X-men Evolution. Its a fantastic series and reinvented the X-men quite well.

Yes, that's it. Own the thing on DVD.

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I've seen those for sale at my local Wal-Mart, and I almost bought it. Maybe I need to check it out sometime.

[ZariusTwo]

Ultimate Spider-Man.

Ironically the best part of the modern Marvel animated series. ;)

Fair point.

Just get him back into the Sonyverse and I'm butter:)

[shuriken]

As much as I enjoyed Evolution, Spectacular, and 90's X-men, I gotta go with (90s) Spider-man. I loved how the ending wrapped everything up and the cameos, the villains and how Spider-man grew and developed as a character.

[Spike Spiegel]

Spectacular Spider-Man

1990s X-Men

Avengers: EMH

I wish Spider-Man Unlimited had gotten a proper ending, at least. The designs were cool, and I really liked Rino Romano as Spider-Man.

[TigerClaw]

I liked Spider-Man Unlimited, It was the only show that took place on an alternate earth called Counter Earth, And in it, Were a race of highly evolved anthropomorphized animals. Check out Lord Tyger

Spectacular, with Spiderman TAS following.

[Bry]

The Spectacular Spider-Man by a country mile. It's probably my favourite non-comics version of Spidey period. (I'm still in mourning over that one.)

Wolverine and the X-Men and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes are tied for second place.

I've got some fond memories of the Fox Kids X-Men and Spider-Man cartoons too, though they don't really hold up as well. I didn't watch enough of it to make a judgment, but I remember the Silver Surfer cartoon just looking really cool (at least for the time - the '90s CGI/2D animation combo wasn't bound to age well) and I love how much they emulated Jack Kirby's style on that one.

[TheCanadiandrome]

suprised no mention of the 90s Iron Man cartoon, that's kinda cool

any way, off the list definately Spider-Man 1994 & X-Men 1992 tie

[NinjaPug]

Good question. If I had to narrow it down to one it would have to be X-Men: Evolution with Avengers:EMH and SSM right behind it.

I still love the 90s X-Men and Spider-Man series too.

[TurtleTitan97]

Avengers: EMH gets my vote. The only negative things I can say about it were that Season 2 didn't really end on a strong note, and that Marvel had Drake Bell's voice dubbed over Josh Keaton's voice for Spider-Man.

[Spike Spiegel]

The second seasons of both Iron Man and the 1990s FF series were great.

Everyone seems to have forgotten about Fantastic Four: World's Greatest Heroes (2006). It had appearances from Iron Man and She-Hulk, among others.

Don't feel bad, no one remembered the 90's one, either. I love it, though.

[BabyTurtles]

I liked X-men Evolution~ It introduced me to X-men ^_^

Kurt was my favorite.

[THGhost]

Definitely the '94 Spider-Man series for me. That show is a classic and I am proud to own every episode on DVD.

I'm slowly working my way through all of Spidey's animated series' right now. I hated Spider-Man Unlimited, really liked The New Animated Series (the CGI one), currently on The Spectacular Spider-Man and I absolutely love it. Easily the best Spidey series since the '94 one.

I hear people really don't like the current series, Ultimate Spider-Man. That it's too juvenile and breaks the 4th wall too much. I guess I'll make my own judgement once I finish the Spectacular series.

[Leo656]

I missed something, the 90s Spidey show is on DVD? I thought that it still wasn't?

[Autbot_Benz]

Its not on DVD legally yet its been released in the UK and bootleg copies. Marvel/Disney need to hurry up with that one. Its on Itunes every episode I think.

[Leo656]

Gotcha. Yeah, I'd prefer to go through the proper legal way of getting it, but it's ridiculous it hasn't gotten a real release yet. I mean, that show was huge in its day.

[THGhost]

Only on region 2 DVDs I'm afraid. They're available in volumes, season sets and a complete box set. The company that released them went into administration but they can still be purchased, if you can play region 2 that is. I'm amazed it never got a region 1 release.

ya Xmen 90's Ironman 90's Fantastic Four 90's Incredible Hulk 90's cartoon are all out on DVD but no Spider Man its weird

[THGhost]

ya Xmen 90's Ironman 90's Fantastic Four 90's Incredible Hulk 90's cartoon are all out on DVD but no Spider Man its weird

The same company that released the '94 Spidey series in the UK also released the X-Men and Hulk shows, not sure about the F4 & Iron Man shows. They probably did.

[Slade]

94 spiderman followed by x-men. That's all I've actually watched.

[TheCanadiandrome]

The second seasons of both Iron Man and the 1990s FF series were great.

yeah i watched a bit of 90's FF and it was pretty good

damn! Netflix needs to get that up

[MsMarvelDuckie]

I missed something, the 90s Spidey show is on DVD? I thought that it still wasn't?


Well, not ALL of it, but the Venom Saga and some eps of the Sinister Six were released as collections. Believe me, the day I see the entire series available, I WILL be buying!

Yeah, kinda weird. But there are two volumes of "favorites" available. See above.

[Spike Spiegel]

damn! Netflix needs to get that up

Yeah, that would be a good idea, given the movie is coming out...

I think the entire 2006 FF series is on DVD (in widescreen, too!) for less than $10 on Amazon.

[Jester]

ya Xmen 90's Ironman 90's Fantastic Four 90's Incredible Hulk 90's cartoon are all out on DVD but no Spider Man its weird
They released the whole of 90's Hulk? Saw it on Netflix, but not DVD.
As for the 2000s Fantastic Four, the series is pretty inexpensive on DVD and well worth the price. Need to rewatch it some time.

[ZariusTwo]

not sure about the F4 & Iron Man shows. They probably did.

They did. I found the whole of the 90s FF in a pound shop two years back, and I bought the complete Iron Man set around 2007.

Just checked the prices for the region 2 complete set of the '94 Spider-Man series and my God has it gone up! I got it for £15.76 back in 2013, now it goes for hundreds of £s. :o

ah nice! ty for the info

[blindturtle02]

I'd have to say Spectacular Spider-Man is my absolute favorite Marvel toon with the 92 X-men,94 Spider-Man, and X-Men Evolution all coming in second. God, it's almost impossible to pick a favorite. It may sound silly, but these were my comic books for the longest time. I'm glad I'm spending the rest of my life with someone who loves reading the actual comics so I can gain an even better appreciation for the characters and story arcs though. Especially the ones that never got adapted for animation.

[Darth Knuckles]

I had to go with Spider-Man: The Animated Series (1994). It was what introduced me to Spider-Man and why I really got into the web-slingers' world. Still my favorite version of Spider-Man overall even though I really liked Raimi's Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2.

[turtlefanforever]

just started watching Agents of S.M.A.S.H and am blown away. Way better than I thought it'd be

That's...surprising. You're probably the first person I've seen online say that.

[Redeemer]

Spider-man The New Animated Series belongs in the worse cartoon category of all time. :lol:

[turtlefanforever]

love the style it's put in. The overuse of smash, and the puns leave a lot to be desired but I still find it extremely enjoyable
