Spider-Man TAS vs. Spectacular Spider-Man
 

That poster looks very decent. Maybe I'll watch this one because I really hated Spectacular Spider-Man and everything baby about it. From a story standpoint, it had something going, but from the art style of the show, it was horrible. Stop baby-ing everything Marvel!

The new Avengers cartoon is a step up from the Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men. I hate character designs that look too awkward. Maybe now we'll get real animation where the people look like people and not toons. Been looking for something as good as the best spider-man cartoon ever, Spider-Man TAS. Please stop the whole I'm a kid spider-man learning the ropes. It's whored out too much.

Edit:

OMG! Just saw the trailer. This looks watchable! The characters look realistic now and not cartoony. I just marked out for Jameson! He looks fantastic and not like a car peeled out on his forehead like in the "Spectacular" Spider-Kid. I can safely bet this version of Eddie Brock won't look like something out of Dragon Ball Z.

Edit 2:

Now we just need Venom and Carnage to look like this!

There's all kinds of retarded with your post.

Spider-Man TAS the best Spidey cartoon ever?:lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Get some TASTE man

I happen to have more taste than anyone I see praising crappy shows. I actually have standards in what I choose to watch. ;)

But then again, there's probably a bunch of Pokemon slave masters, yugi-oh, and dragonball z watchers here. And that's fine, but yea.

So what's the best Spider-Man cartoon then? And don't you dare say it's Spectacular Spider-Man!

whats wrong with Spectacular Spider-Man?

Just ignore him, his answer won't make sense to people with common sense.

Even though I enjoyed Spectacular Spider-Man, the facts are, it didn't have a long run and didn't have a chance to be completed. Spider-Man TAS IMO is the best one of them all as of now. The story was heavy, it had the best character designs instead of cartoony ones, and it was just epic. Especially the crossovers. In the Spectacular Spider-Man you see Spider-Man take on the Sinister Six and they don't even look menacing, they look goofy and cartoony. Sure Spider-Man TAS had it's restrictions and ended early then it should of, but I still haven't seen anything better.

How you doin there champ?

I found the fight scenes in Spectacular Spider-man to be some of the best I've seen in a cartoon. The old show was great for the time but it had it's limitations. I felt the newer series got to the point a lot faster and the sense of danger seemed a lot higher. How they handled the black suit arc was amazing and one of the best incarnations of that story. I thought they took a lot from Ultimate but after reading all of it I see they really went off and did their own thing.

Wait. While I agree with what you're saying, I recall you saying you hated Spectacular.

I'm...alright?

Yeah, that's one of the things I liked about that show. I also like how they went a bit deeper into Peter's life. The action and the story in Spectacular Spider-Man was great. But I still go with Spider-Man TAS any day. I just hope this new one is as good or better. It just bugs me a bit how it's based on the Ultimate series, even though I can still enjoy it. But for as good as this show looks it would of been nice if it were based on the Amazing. But I guess it's been done a lot already. But I don't mind the Ultimate series, all it is, is Amazing with a twist.

I "ugh'd" at the lame invisible cyber-watch, but the animation, from what you can see, looks to be just as fluid and face-paced as Spectacular.

And I love TAS, but if Spectacular was allowed to continue, it would have blown everything about TAS out of the water. I do always love when kids complain that something looks too "toony" or "childish" though. Shows they're still children...bless them.

I loved Spectacular. I hope this can live up too or exceed it.

And also, I think Turo is trying to bring up TAS to seem older. I never really liked TAS too much. Character designs seemed a bit too, I don't know, bland for me.

LOL! Explain. I don't get how that makes sense. God forbid we love to watch anything before our time or else we're trying to seem older. Is that why you have an avatar of The Fonz? They do still show TAS on Disney XD so he watches it and can compare it to any spider-man show around; be that Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends, Spectacular, that MTV Spider-Man show, and Spider-Man Unlimited. Out of all of those TAS is the best. Of course, it is just an opinion.

Generally speaking, no one should be butt hurt and get offended over someone sharing an opinion. I don't give a crap if someone says Spectacular is the best because that's THEIR opinion. I'm not going to be childish and post childish remarks about an opinion different than my own. There are kids here who need to grow up and upgrade to huggies because the world is not about them. I'm open to conversation and debate, not school yard comments like, "you're retarded" or "I'm better than you because I watch cartoons."

@Spitfire, I agree with your comment regarding the action of Spectacular. I still think TAS is the best overall, but as time goes on, it did suck that the networks had so many restrictions back then. Cartoons these days are allowed to have heavier combat sequences, and that was good about Spectacular. Personally, I couldn't enjoy it because lately every new cartoon seems to like making the characters that I love into younger incarnations. the designs for spectacular didn't shout, "look at me, I'm a serious show!" It wasn't reaching toward an older audience. Not my thing, but I respect any who like it or even say it's "the best." My life won't change over an opinion.

Have you ever read a Spider-Man comic in your life? He's all ABOUT youth.

The earliest incarnation of him was a 16 year old kid going through rites of passage, something "Spectacular" manages to capture beutifully. Steve Ditko wanted to keep him in high school forever like Archie, never graduating, Bendis is doing right by that vision in Ultimate Spider-Man

Spider-Man TAS is S*IT, and it only gets marks because it's the most complete Spidey cartoon out there and because you lot grew up on it, but it doesnt hold up at all, it's got terrrible voice acting, Standards and Practices meant Spidey couldnt throw ONE punch, the stories havent aged all that well and some are downright insulting to the intelligence. Spetacular has Spiuder-Man TAS beat by a nose, it's truer to Spidey's early days, it's got incredible twists, the animation is also supremly fluid..

Hold up.

People don't like it when a cartoon.....looks like a cartoon? Also TAS looked realistic and was geared more towards adults?

EPIC YO.

This is why you're dumb, not cuz of you're opinion. It wasn't a "serious show" and it's not reaching for an older audience because it's not supposed to. No kid's cartoon is. People like to think that cartoons are catered to them when that's not true at all. If you can enjoy it regardless of that is a different story.

Sure seems to me like he's trying to gain nostalgia points with all the people calling him a kid.

Nah that ain't it, I assure you. He knows what he likes and it's the others who call him a kid only to boost their own ego. They like to think they're "smart" "mature" and "intelligent" because they have opinions they think are fact. That's all. Look at how people resort to calling me dumb here when I say what I say about what I like. It's juvenile. I don't call them names for liking what I don't like.

Ok. This is why you're dumb. Don't insult me if you don't know me well enough to do so. I don't disrespect you. First of all, that show you love so much was catered toward kids as well as an older audience ok. If it was JUST for kids then it wouldn't have been heavy on story, action, or have sexual innuendo.

To the guy who posted that Peter Parker pic. If that don't look less toonish than Spectacular, then you're easily pleased.

Like if I give a damn what people think of me to want to change what I like. Hell no I'm no follower. Do you even know why I like Spider-Man? I don't think so. And it ain't because of some movie or that lame Unlimited crap. I'm not going to suck up to anyone to get "nostalgia points". I like what I like for a reason.

So he can't like another incarnation because one is truer then the other? That's like saying someone can't like the 80s TMNT over the 2k3 series because they were like that in the original comics.
