Marvel's Spider-Man 2017 animated series

[Raph's Girl]

Soooo apparantly Ultimate Spider-Man is ending and next year is a new series simply titled Marvel's Spider-Man. It's a complete and total reboot taking Peter back to his early days as spidey. :ohwell:

http://www.cbr.com/new-spider-man-animated-series-to-debut-in-2017

[CyberCubed]

I wonder if this will be better than Ultimate Spiderman.

I'd love to see something more similar to Spectacular.

[Luigiperps]

I hope this is good. I like that art style.

[thundermaster612]

Spidey looks like he hasn't been eating his Uncle Ben Rice...

[sdp]

Wasn't Ultimate Spider-Man in continuity with the other Disney Marvel shows? Are they still continuing?

I remember there was a Hulk show and a GotG show and an Avengers show which they tried to bill as a third season of Earth's Mightiest Heroes as "everything from the previous show happened here but the team here is the movie team"?

I got confused with the continuity of that animated universe because of that but apparently the shows were not that great.

[ZariusTwo]

Avengers Asssemble is continuing, they're renaming it "Secret Wars" for next year, just as this season was called "Ultron Revolution"

The new Spidey show is said to borrow heavily from Dan Slott's reign on the books, so that's already a turn-off for me. Slott is the worst thing to happen to Spider-Man since Howard Mackie.

[Splinter the boss]

I can't believe this. The new cartoon's art style doesn't even compare to the current one. Not even gonna bother.

[ZariusTwo]

The discussion turned to the new “Spider-Man” cartoon, coming in 2017. “It’s a whole new Spider-Man cartoon, it’s going to focus on a young…coming-ish age Peter Parker….since they’ve used everything up they have no choice but to base a lot of this after my [work],” Slott Joked.

A clip was then shown from the series, which was screened at yesterday’s Marvel Animation panel.


A title card, indicating that the show will be simply called “Marvel’s Spider-Man” was the first thing to come on screen. It then cut to a scene where a young Peter Parker — dressed in an early version of the Spider-suit, much like the one Tobey Maguire wears at the beginning of the first “Spider-Man” film — takes on some thugs that are attacking police officers with guns that shoot lasers. Unfortunately, Peter has some issues adapting to superhero life, and accidentally lands on the roof of a nearby building accompanied by a nasty old lady and her pigeons.

A flashback was then shown that depicted a sentimental moment with Peter and Uncle Ben. Inspired by his memory of Ben, Peter musters the courage to track down the thugs in a high-speed car chase through the streets of New York. At the end of the video, it’s revealed that the Vulture was behind the villainy, as he corners Spider-Man and attacks him with a sonic screech.

Slott revealed that the early Spidey suit in the episode is actually the same costume we got a peek at in “Captain America: Civil War.”

>highschool setting AGAIN
>Slott

Oh boy

[Donatello19]

It's obviously just being made to "tie in" so to say to Spider-Man Homecoming. Not surprised.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I wish that/wonder if the Sony deal with Marvel includes Spectacular Spider-Man rights. Instead of going through the Peter Parker in high school thing AGAIN, they should revive that if possible.

[retr0pia75]

I have a lot of faith that this will be good. We desperately need some more animated action shows, and hopefully this will be the prominent catalyst.

[ZariusTwo]

I have a lot of faith that this will be good.

It's based off Dan Slott's era. It won't be.

An insider called "Big Al" shares info on Marvel's Spider-Man here

So quick heads up

a) This is not as bad as USM

b) This is still horrible and

c) I know a wee bit about the show through my job and though I am not allowed to speak about it all that much let me assure folks that there will be characters and directions involved in this which will piss most Spider-Man fans off.


Hint: Hope you like having more than just one Spider-Person.

[CyberCubed]

LOL, I wonder if we'll ever get a good Spiderman cartoon ever again. I don't get what's so hard about making a decent show that isn't dumbed down for children or has weird writing choices.

[Splinter the boss]

I don't understand why they'll end the current show. In my opinion it's funny, has good graphics, and good characters. But, hey, I'm okay, there is an end to all things.

You can't be serious. Ultimate Spider-Man is a garbage show and a disgrace to the comic book of the same name.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Well it looks like The Spectacular Spider-Man will still be the definitive cartoon for the web-head.

I did mention: "In my opinion". It's what I think, it's not necessarily what other people will. Plus, I believe there are plenty of people who like the show.

Why should I trust some anonymous bozo called "Big Al"? It's all lies. Just like the supposed "insiders" who claim that the future DCEU movies are going to be ****.

They're just butthurt Spider-Man fans trying to ruin the show's reputation. Even if he somehow happens to be an insider, just because "Big Al" thinks it's horrible doesn't mean it is for a fact. Common sense folks. Unless you're closed-minded and really want to believe that the show is crap, you have no reason to jump to such conclusions from what one guy says.

Speaking of which:

I did mention: "In my opinion". It's what I think, it's not necessarily what other people will. Plus, I believe there are plenty of people who like the show.

Exactly. Don't be an ass TurtleTitan and Zarius.

[TurtleTitan97]

Oh suuure they are. Because heaven forbid people just want a quality Marvel show like Spectacular Spider-Man or Avengers: EMH once more instead of the garbage Marvel animation has been pumping out in recent years. :roll:

And I fail to see how anyone can call the current Spidey show legitimately "good" unless they've never picked up a single issue of the vastly superior comic of the same name. THAT is what we should have gotten in the first place.

[CyberCubed]

Some might say Spectacular was the ONLY good Spiderman cartoon.

The previous cartoons are dated, even the 90's one.

I just watched it a couple years ago and it was still really good. I just hate the fact it was left on a cliff hanger.....

[TurtleTitan97]

whatever TLP, believe what you want. I for one will not mourn the loss of this show since I've got a better Spider-Man adaptation to fall back on.

Pretty sure a show associated with Dan Slott manages that all on it's own d*cksplash:lol:

Yeah, and none of them are above the age of three.

The Agent Venom episodes are pretty good

Don't care. There was only one Venom I wanted and that was Ultimate Eddie Brock. But instead they had Harry freaking Osborn replace him.

[ZariusTwo]

It was confirmed a while back, through a style guide, that Spider-Gwen, Miles Morales, and Venom will be a part of this show.

So much for that "bozo" Big Al being wrong huh TLP? He said there would be more than one Spider-person, and I bet he's right on the money on the show being crap too (btw, he's pretty public about his job at Marvel, he's posted photos of what his office looks like)

[CyberCubed]

I've lost all hope of Marvel cartoons being good unless there's a change of management in the next few years.

Best Marvel cartoons of the 2000's were Avengers: EMH, X-men Evolution, Wolverine and the X-men, and Spectacular Spiderman. I guess we'll never get something on the level of those 4 again.

[Luigiperps]

Who is the voice of Spider-Man in that teaser?

[ToTheNines]

Was that Yuri Lowenthal as Spidey? I couldn't really tell.

Wow... talk about underwhelming. :ohwell:

[ToTheNines]

Yeah, pretty bad. But what else do you expect from Marvel animation these days? Although I've recently heard good things about the GOTG cartoon.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Horrible animation. And they stole that scenario right out of a Spectacular Spider-Man episode! :trazz:

[GoldMutant]

Horrible animation. And they stole that scenario right out of a Spectacular Spider-Man episode! :trazz:

I'm gonna take a crack at guessing the episode, but was that Reaction, the episode where Pete fought Ock for the first time?

Who voiced Scorpion though here? This series really is a bigger step down. Give Ultimate Spider-Man credit, it at least has good animation.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I'm gonna take a crack at guessing the episode, but was that Reaction, the episode where Pete fought Ock for the first time?

Nah, episode 3 (Natural Selection).

I dunno, thought the stealing of whatever Scorpion had reminded me of Ock's power device. :lol: Close at least; damn, I wish Lizard got another appearance in Spectacular, that was one of my favorites. :ohwell:

[Cure]

I'd be OK if they copied stuff from Spectacular. Like, a lot of stuff.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

There were plans for Spidey to take a spring break trip to Florida in a direct-to-DVD movie and fight Lizard there. Alas...

[CyberCubed]

The only good Marvel cartoons of the 2000's were Spectacular Spiderman, Avengers: EMH, X-men Evolution and Wolverine and the X-men.

Two of these were also canceled after only 26 episodes, and X-men Evolution and Avengers: EMH also only lasted 52 episodes...so they were all generally short-lived too. What a shame.

Imagine if we got a TMNT cartoon that only lasted 52 episodes? It'd be blasphemy, all TMNT cartoons have made over 120 episodes.

[PApagreg]

The animation isn't "horrible", its no Spectacular Spiderman and its a little sluggish but at least the choreography is good(what with Spiderman fighting like Spiderman). The bad news is that like all modern Marvel shows(with the exception of GOTG) the backgrounds are bland and unfinished looking

[Donatello19]

I really hate the animation style all these recent Marvel shows have...don't even know what it is exactly, everything just feels so stiff and off somehow.

[DestronMirage22]

Yeah, that animation isn't good. The whole fight also seems kinda slow somehow.
And it's no surprise they're going for a Spiderman Homecoming type show (or at least getting inspired by it).

[CyberCubed]

It's hard to believe this is the 9th Spiderman cartoon.

The 1967 one, the two from the 80's, Spiderman: TAS from the 90's, Spiderman 2099, the CG Spiderman from the early 2000's, Spectacular Spiderman from 2008, Ultimate Spiderman from 2011, and now this series. And this is on top of Spiderman's cameos in other Marvel series.

Goddamn, we've only had 3 TMNT cartoons.

[sdp]

Wow Ultimate Spider-Man is that old?

Wasn't Ultimate Spider-Man in continuity with the other Marvel shows that happened at the time, I think it was Avengers Assemble,HULK Squad and I think another one? Maybe the GOTG cartoon is also in that continuity?

[ToTheNines]

It's hard to believe this is the 9th Spiderman cartoon.

Goddamn, we've only had 3 TMNT cartoons.

Yes, but we've had about 475 total animated episodes of TMNT, plus Rise on the way.

Add up all those Spider-Man cartoons and you don't even get 350 episodes. And Spidey is way older than Turtles.

[DestronMirage22]

Goddamn, we've only had 3 TMNT cartoons.

Spiderman made his first appearance in 1962.
TMNT #1 didn't come out until 1984.

It makes sense he'd have more shows, he has been around longer. Plus, Marvel stuff has always been more marketable and successful than TMNT.

[PApagreg]

Goddamn, we've only had 3 TMNT cartoons.

Why is that a problem, you complain about the Nick TMNT show not having enough episodes yet you're salty that we only have 3 TMNT cartoons. You can't have your cake and eat it too

[ZariusTwo]

It's hard to believe this is the 9th Spiderman cartoon.

The 1967 one, the two from the 80's, Spiderman: TAS from the 90's, Spiderman 2099

You mean Spider-Man Unlimited. Miguel O'Hara outside of guest spots in Ultimate Spider-Man has never had a cartoon of his own. He's apparently going to be in this show as well at some point though.

That said, Unlimited was planned at one time to be a 2099 cartoon

[Spike Spiegel]

As much as people bash Unlimited, I still admire its technical design and fluid animation.

Even though it was a weird setting, they definitely got Peter's arc and melodramatic cues right. Too bad that it was Rino Romano's only tenure on the character outside of those early 2000s, pre-Raimi films video games.

I'd like to see the scripts for the unproduced episodes--he was supposed to return to Earth at some point from what I've read on various wikis.

EDIT:

Someone has looked into this by contacting the original writers, if anyone has an interest.

OCXa5L44xHA

[sdp]

I really wanted to love Spider-Man Unlimited, I"m a fan of those weird red headed spin-offs no one likes but it was too weird for me to get into it. I love symbiotes but everything else was just so out there. I loved the first episode on earth though. I even tried to come up with a way to fit it into the 90s Spider-Man cartoon continuity.
:lol:


The New animated series which was based on the films was really weird. I like the CG/cel shaded type art style they went with. Since it aired on MTV it made plenty more than subtle references to sex and mild cursing whatnot but yet the episodes were not written for an older viewership of MTV. They still felt like generic cartoon plots most of the time. Even though it was a sequel to the first film the relationships did not make much sense. I liked that they basically made the DareDevil Fox film in continuity with the Spider-Man films by having the kingpin reprise his role in the show. Counting all the villains that appear in the show never appeared in the sequels I guess it could still count as in continuity. The one original character the show made was pretty cool and she had an awesome arc, can't remember her name but she deserved to appear in another incarnation, she's mostly forgotten by now.

[Papenbrook]

Does anyone know who will voice Spider-Man?

No confirmed voice right now for him, I believe.

Looks like the character designer took some cues from Steven Universe and Legend of Korra.

It'll be interesting to see how they develop Peter's personality through this series, as he's obviously rather green in that clip.

I can't wait to see the same plot beats, characters, and "adaptations" again!


Seriously, just do Season 3 of Spectacular for Netflix.

[TheSkeletonMan939]

Rights issues prevent that from ever happening, unfortunately. The show is tied up between Marvel and Sony, and they clearly are interested in doing their own thing rather than collaborate more than they already have. The scope and general intelligence of that show was phenomenal though, easily on par with any live-action Spidey film if not surpassing many of them. Anyone who's interested in writing for television could learn a lot about character development from it.

But I guess it's cheaper and more efficient to pump out the garbage you see up there.

http://gargwiki.net/images/thumb/d/d4/MrRoman.PNG/220px-MrRoman.PNG

[GoldMutant]

The only character from that cast I'm genuinely interested in seeing is the Jackal, at least with Dimaggio's voice. Otherwise, I'm not too excited about this selection, especially "Joe." :roll:

Damn, if Sony wasn't a bunch of cheap punks with the rights. So much "what-if" on what could've happened had things worked out. :ohwell:

[TheSkeletonMan939]

I'm pretty sure show would never have the balls to do anything close to what the Jackal did in the comics.

[GoldMutant]

I'm pretty sure show would never have the balls to do anything close to what the Jackal did in the comics.

I seriously wish that had Spectacular gained a third season (maybe 4th), they could attempt the Clone Saga in a better manner. Had it not been so convoluted, I'd think Jackal would be one of the more underrated Spider-Man villains. I personally like him, at least in the Web of Shadows video game.

Other than DiMaggio though, I highly doubt Jackal is going to leave much of an impression. Younger audiences at least will see him for the first time as he didn't appear in Ultimate Spider-Man (to my knowledge). Otherwise... what's the point other than another MCU advertisement?

I hate the animation style and there's way too much MCU influence for my liking, but I can see there's some positive things about this show after all.
I didn't expect to ever see Max Modell in a Spidey cartoon, so it was a pleasant surprise when he showed up. The humor isn't very good but at least it isn't as bad as Ultimate's. It's also nice seeing Spidey think more like a scientist, even if they overdid it a little.
I'll watch it for awhile and if it doesn't improve any I'll drop it.

[GoldMutant]

Similarly to Ultimate Spider-Man, I have mixed opinions on Marvel's Spider-Man. Right now, these are my general impressions; I won't be able to say if I like or dislike it as anything can change.

I still cannot stand the animation; of all the Marvel Animated Shows, this is easily the worst looking to me. It looks too pale and almost incomplete with the textures. The striking parts being the science lab and the sky. Personally, it hurts my eyes a bit; at least with Spectacular Spider-Man, the art choice allowed for better fight sequences. What's this show's excuse?

In terms of the voice acting... I'm very mixed on it. On one hand, there's Robbie Daymond as a younger Peter Parker, which is okay. He certainly has some range as excitable and does come across as intelligent. However, it's hard to fully judge him with one episode compared to the previous voice actors. I'll give him a little more time before saying how I'd rank him.

On the other hand, however, there's Alastair Duncan as Vulture... ugh, this feels like a miscast right now. Duncan does sound slimy in the role, which I like out of the Vulture. Outside it, that scream. Right now, he's one of the worst voice actors for Vulture.

Currently, I can't judge any of the other voice actors. The likes of Harry Osborn and Liz Allen don't have many lines and didn't leave much of an impression just yet.

As for miscellaneous content, I do have to applaud Peter acting like a scientist in this series. It does go overboard slightly; I'm not sure if it's Daymond's delivery or the scripting. Not too bad though.

Humor wise... it feels lackluster, personally. The first scene is a bit over the top with handling. Luckily, the fourth wall breaking, a common occurrence in Ultimate Spider-Man, is not here. Lastly, the fights rely on puns that can be a bit grating. Otherwise, the humor just feels dry and lacking to me.

Finally, as much as I hate the MCU usage, specifically the current design of Spider-Man and Vulture on display, I do like older and newer content being used. Something I feel Ultimate Spider-Man deserves a bit of credit for is exposing younger audiences to other characters not seen before, such as Miles Morales, Anti-Venom, even the return of Morbius. I will agree though that the execution in Ultimate was more miss than hit, which made them lackluster. Children may not be able to afford comics or have no interest, but the shows can help with introducing ideas to give them wider exposure to a long-running franchise like Spider-Man. Therefore, seeing the return of the Smythes and introducing Max Modell is welcomed by me.

Overall, it's only the first half of a two-parter, so it's difficult for me to fully judge. There are elements I like, but elements I don't like. Guess we'll have to see how this series progresses. While stylistically the worst of the Marvel Animation shows, I have to admit it has some good; it's better than Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and Avengers Assemble personally, but I'm unsure if it's better per say than Ultimate yet (I haven't watched the Guardians cartoon).

[ZariusTwo]

I didn't expect to ever see Max Modell in a Spidey cartoon

Dan Slott is the show's creative consultant. Clash from his run is also showing up in this series.

Why do modern Marvel shows have bad animation and crap backgrounds, you think being owned by Disney would allow them to make their shows look somewhat aesthetically pleasing. Its sad when a show about ducks going on adventures and a girl with a magical wand has better action scenes than a superhero show.

Seems like these shows are just more ways to promote their cinematic universe and sell more merchandise. I could see why they'd want to spend as little money as possible on these things. It's a horrible thing to do to fans, but from a business perspective it's pretty savvy.

[CyberCubed]

Haven't watched the ep yet, but I find it weird we get so many Spiderman cartoons one after the other and they don't put much effort into them. It's because they know its Spiderman and young kids will watch it anyway because they don't know any better, but it's still disappointing.

This is what...the 8th or 9th Spiderman cartoon since the 60's one? Jesus.

Considering he's been around since the 60s, it's not surprising. Spider-Man is arguably the most profitable Marvel superhero (Unless Wolverine or the MCU have proven otherwise).

In terms of cartoons, there's nine: the 60s series, Amazing Friends, the 80s cartoon itself, TAS, Unlimited, The New Animated Series, Spectacular, Ultimate, and now this. If you add live-action, that's twelve: the NBC series with Nick Hammond, the Japanese Spider-Man, and an educational series with live-action and animation called Spidey Super Stories. That's not counting his appearances in other Marvel shows, like Agents of S.M.A.S.H. and Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

As you can tell Cube, Spider-Man's been around for a long time, even before you were "old." ;)

[ZariusTwo]

Someone dropped by at CBR's forums (http://community.comicbookresources.com/showthread.php?86365-Marvel-s-new-Spider-Man-animated-series&p=3362060&viewfull=1#post3362060) claiming that Disney have cancelled this show alongside Guardians of the Galaxy and Avengers Assemble. Can't find much more information other than this claim though. Maybe more will surface in the coming days.

The remainder of the series has aired in other countries.

[sdp]

Marvel animation was hitting it's stride when the Disney buy out happened and it seems like it all went to hell. Many of these shows have average or impressive episode count but it seems to have all happened without any fanfare. I remember all the hype for the late 00's Marvel shows and it's all gone now.

Such a shame, I've realized superheroes are just better in an animated format.

Some interesting info on what's coming and what's not.

[CyberCubed]

It's amazing how much better DC animation is than Marvel animation, whereas with live-action movies it's the opposite.

Can't wait for Young Justice Season 3 to finally come out. I expect it to be excellent, as long as Greg Weisman doesn't go crazy with loose ends he never expects to finish. Oh...and Wally better come back to life.

[sdp]

I don't understand that list from the website Zarius posted,

Does that mean those shows are being worked on?

I googled some of the ones that interested me and got nothing, we have 3 Scooby shows coming, or is it two DTV movies and one new show?

A Flintstones reboot with black characters?

Justice League Action is cancelled?

These are all big news and no real sources or confirmations anywhere

That's because they're leaks, the upfronts from the animation networks are not out yet officially confirming them, but the blogger has connections from the animation guild.

According to the blog post, there are massive lay offs happening at Marvel Animation.

And yeah, of the three Scooby projects, only "Guess Who Scooby Doo?" is a series.

The second (and final?) season confirmed, with Peter joining the Bugle

https://news.marvel.com/tv/83431/marvels-spider-man-returning-season-2-disney-xd/

The second season of “Marvel’s Spider-Man” follows Peter Parker in his sophomore year as a more experienced Super Hero and a more confident student at what was once the intimidating Horizon High School. Picking up where season one left off – in an epic showdown against Doc Ock, the Sinister Five, and Hobgoblin – season two will offer much higher stakes for both Peter and his heroic alter-ego, Spider-Man. He’ll also learn how to navigate new responsibilities like working at his local newspaper The Daily Bugle while enduring Doc Ock’s series of obstacles in the villain’s attempt to get rid of Spider-Man once and for all. The action-packed season will continue to touch on Spidey’s relatable themes, including friendship, loyalty and heroism, while staying true to its signature sense of comedy. The premiere date for the series will be announced at a later date.

They make so many new Spiderman cartoons one after the other I can't even keep track of them anymore. It feels everytime a new Spiderman show starts its already over in a few years and the next one begins.

They make so many new Spiderman cartoons one after the other I can't even keep track of them anymore. It feels everytime a new Spiderman show starts its already over in a few years and the next one begins.

If the leak is true, there won't be a new animated Spidey, or a new animated Marvel anything, for a long while once the upcoming seasons are done.

Article on what's coming up in the last half of the show and what the future direction is for Marvel Animation

From the way Court Lane words things here, it definitely sounds like the show is ending.

It has a very emotional ending – one of the characters involved makes a huge sacrifice. I rewatched it just before this and I’m not ashamed to admit I cried. It’s a very satisfying ending to the two seasons

So does this mean we can finally get the first good Spider-Man cartoon since 2009?

It's an odd thing...recently it came to light Sony retains the rights to develop long-form animation. They can't do half hours, but they can do feature-length (as evident by Spider-Verse) or they can do forty to fifty minute things. I think if they ever got a streaming service of their own up and running, we'd get some shows with that format.

A short third season, Maximum Venom, consisting of six one hour episodes, will premiere on April 19th at 9 PM ET/PT On Disney XD...and the big news? Mary Jane will finally appear, she'll be voiced by Felicia Day (The Guild), also appearing are Riri Williams (voiced by Sofia Wylie) and symbiote sisters Scream, Scorn and Mania (played by Meg Donnelly, Kylee Russell and Carla Jeffery).

I completely forgot this show existed. I think I only ever watched the first episode.

Interview with Peter Parker voice actor Robbie Daymond


Literary Joe: Is it confirmed for a season four, or do you know anything about the future of the series?

Robbie Daymond: They don't tell me anything. I'll say this. They buttoned it up pretty well. It feels like it could be it, but I can neither confirm nor deny. I have no idea. If it ended here, I'd be happy with that run. It was a fun three-year run, but if there's more to come, we'll do it.

Marvel animation is in a weird place. They've somewhat moved away from doing series, and now they're doing these mini-run movies. It's more like the modern anime model where you take three or four, put them together, and call it a movie and then release them all at once. And I think that's just due to the nature of how people are consuming media now.

Kids don't want appointment viewings. They want it all right now, binge-able.That's happening a lot in cartoons. They'll put out ten episodes, a dozen episodes, and within a week, it's it streaming somewhere. That's the way things are going. If anything happens, that's what I would imagine it would go.

So the finale's now aired...


Miles is now staying with May and Peter...does this mean Rio is dead in this universe?

Gwen's endgame is Grady. Doc Ock's clone. Miles and Anya are paired together for the dance.

Mary Jane has the classic knockout pose from the comics when Peter picks her up for the date, but doesn't say "face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot"

Aunt May only gets mentioned by name and is absent from the finale.

Max Modell is Venom's host for the episode. That's a great pun for the series title "MAXimum Venom", he pretty rids us of the Symbiote Sisters in quick fashion and sets his own plans in motion.

MJ never discovers Peter's secret...not that she needs to since she's used to so much craziness on her dates.

Peter teams with Max to confront the symbiote in a dreamscape, but at the end of it all, Horizon is destroyed, ironically by Max's own hand. Peter has to go back to Midtown, but that's fine by him as Mary Jane attends Midtown also, and she makes it pretty clear she's now his girlfriend with a kiss, which Peter returns in their final scene together, telling her they have their whole future to look forward to. MJ blushes and wraps herself in his arms. A perfect and all too rare happy ending for Spider-Man on tv!

The show still has many open-ended plotlines (Conner is still The Lizard and Jefferson is still Swarm), so a continuation one day is always possible, but for now the Horizon stuff is resolved, Venom is defeated, and Peter and MJ are a couple, so it's in a good place

And they set up W.E.B.B at the end with Tony
