Did anyone catch the new Spider-Man???????

trisha · 07-11-2003, 09:06 PM

I like the new show, it was pretty cool, looks like the next episode will have the Lizard.

*Mr. Snackpants* · 07-11-2003, 09:12 PM

I liked it because its spider-man, but the animation didnt look right. Was it just me or did all the shadows look bad???

*That Matt Guy* · 07-11-2003, 09:14 PM

Sucked.

*cqb101* · 07-11-2003, 09:16 PM

I liked. The writing was really good, and the new character designs were good. I'm not gonna say the animation sucked because it didn't, it was just different. The only thing I didn't like about it was it looked too much like a cell shaded video game.

liltimmyw · 07-11-2003, 09:20 PM

I liked the animation. I am fan of cel shading. I think it when things are different. Too many people are afraid of change, and when they get it, they don't like it.

*Raven* · 07-11-2003, 09:32 PM

dammit I missed it! I hope they have reruns!

*Mr. Snackpants* · 07-11-2003, 09:33 PM

yeah, at 2a.m. and 2:30a.m., so about 2 1/2 hours.

*Raven* · 07-11-2003, 09:37 PM

I know! During most of the first episode I was like waht the hell is on Harry's face! Then I realized it was a wierd looking shadow.

But my opinion of the show as a whole is this: It was ok. Nothing spectacular. But I'll probably watch it again next week.

Mikey the Party Turtle · 07-12-2003, 02:00 PM

It's was pretty good, alot of cool moments, but a few bad ones.

Where to start....oh yeah, the animation.

I personally love the animation. The Spider-Man model is spectacular (Pun not intended.), and it seriously reminds me of John Romita Jr.'s style mixed with Erik Larson. (The eyes are definitly his style.) Spidey actually moves like spider in a few cases, his fights are awesome and the web-slinging is very cool. The costume has a mix of the current Spidey costume in the comics (Big eyes pretty much, but I wish they put in the armpit webbing.....that's classic stuff man.) and the movie version. (Outlined webbing that's silver sometimes and the spider on the front and back are from the movie as well.)

The Peter Parker model is very good and has a somewhat likeness to Tobey Maguire (This does take place after the movie, afterall.). Mary Jane looks good, but Harry kinda needs work. I understand the reason to change his hair, but he doesn't really look like James Franco....

Electro should've been way better, but what can I say? That yellow and green lightning costume would've looked even weirder.

Now, onto the writing and acting.

The writing is very superb, but the main problem with it is that there isn't enough time to develop the villians. The dialogue is very good in some places, bad in others. "Sucks to be you." was set up very well for both occasions, but some of Mary Jane's lines seemed forced to me. (Will she ever stop getting held hostage or something? It's getting old, really fast.) I hope the script writers will be able to keep this up for at least a few seasons or so. (That's if it's going to last that long. MTV is horrible with it's arrangement with animated shows....remember Clone High?)

Whoever does Peter/Spidey is perfect. He fills in very well for Tobey, and in some cases, he's better than Tobey as Spider-Man. (Though VA-ing is different than acting....) The guy who does Harry is good, while the VA for Mary Jane seems to be good here and there, but she needs to relax alittle bit. Electro's VA was great, as was the ninja woman's. (Forgot her name...)

Some other problem's I have with the show is the sound. Sometimes the music gets too loud and drowns out the sound of the fight/action sequence. Also, they need to add continuity to this, like X-Men Evolution or the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I don't want a villian-of-the-week thing going on.

All in all, I enjoyed it. It was very well done, but some things need to be fixed for it to be better.

(Did anyone catch Peter talking about the X-Men? God, it would kick ass if they guess-starred on here with the actual actors from the movies doing thier voices, like the guy from Daredevil reprising his role as the Kingpin in a future episode.)

8.0/10

I was thinking the same thing about Romita, but more along the lines of Humberto Ramos than Larson.

The guy who did Peter/Spidey is Neil Patrick Harris I believe. He played Doogie Howser(sp). And Lisa Loeb was Mary Jane.

You mean like Smallville? Atleast the first season anyway. I haven't watched any of the second season.

*Jephael* · 07-12-2003, 03:44 PM

I really liked the new show. It does kinda remind me of one of the 3-D James Bond video games they've had out.

**azure turtle** · 07-13-2003, 12:53 AM

Hmm... I like the writing, but I'll need to get used to the new style of animation. I enjoyed the fight scenes too. Probably keep my eye on Spidey's new adventures.

Yeah, Spidey does kinda have a big hands/feet thing going on as well as animated eyes.....

*Dane E5R* · 07-13-2003, 04:05 AM

Y'know, I never really liked the animated eyes thing. But I dug the new series. I like hearing Spider-Man say damn on TV.

*The Stryker* · 07-13-2003, 05:16 AM

me and cqb were talking about villain possibilitys and i was thinking since kingpin is in the show maybe one day we'll get to see daredevil fighting the web head again but not a cheap tease like that daredevil "Vs" spiderman dvd

they must fight longer then 5 seconds
