I'm just saying that applying words like 'epic' 'mature' and 'realistic' to TAS is ridiculous.

I liked that show but don't point at a happy meal and call it a lobster dinner.

Heck the only Spidey series geared to an older audience was the CG series MTV ran. I kinda wish it had been on for more than 1 season.

I really need to re-watch Spider-Man TAS. I do remember kinda wondering why Peter was so old in it though.

I actually liked that show a lot. Wish there could've been crossovers with Daredevil, Hulk, Punisher, etc.

Like Spectacular right?

Is it just me, or does he look like Flick from A Bugs Life?

Uh..What? I'm not even comparing or saying Spectacular doesn't look like a cartoon. Because it's a cartoon and getting mad at a cartoon for looking like a cartoon is ridiculous.

Cartoon cartoon.

He didn't even say anything about Spectacular. Way to be dumb.

Cartoon cartoon.

Who's getting mad? It's called disliking something because the designs are horrible compared to your standards. Yes it's a cartoon, doesn't mean it has to look bogus. When you have seen shows that look like Spider-Man TAS, X-Men, Batman, etc. And then you see they make another and it looks like the Spectacular Spider-Man. You're going to be disappointed. It's like having 1000 bucks and being reduced to 100 bucks.

Way to be stupid. When did I ever say he did?

"Hey, do you like cars?"

"What? I never said anything about cars."

**Jester** · 04-07-2011, 08:36 PM

Are Sergio and Turo602 the same person? I mean they are answering for each other...seems odd.

As for the animation of Spectacular vs. TAS, am I alone in thinking that STORY matters a lot more than the character designs? That said, I liked both series, but I think Spectacular really harkened back to the Lee/Ditko Spidey. Peter in TAS was a bit to old, but I still have warm fuzzies for the series. Nostalgia, you know.

No, we're brothers. Why would that be odd? That's like saying, are Cure and Stryker the same person? But yeah Jester, we're not.

TAS and X-men look awful now. Spider-man especially where every character is shaped like a box. Not to mention the sh*tty animation and storytelling on both of those shows.

I wasn't nuts about the character design in Spectacular but it more than made up for it with a great story and really fluid animation. The 90s show does none of those things well at all.

And I respect your opinion even though I disagree with you. But don't worry, I won't call you dumb or retarded. That's just childish.

I disagree, I am actually studying how draw as Marvel does, and IMO Spider-man TAS, was drawn better than Spectacular Spider-man, simply bc TAS was drawn more realistically. Spetacular used manga style design from the episodes I saw. You cant say one is better than the other bc they are two different styles.

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.

I watched the OT turtles and read the first Mirage Comics, but I was born in MID 91 so I can't really remember the OT and was to young for the comics, but I still love both!

Stop trying to insult people!

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..

Have you ever read the original Spider-man comics??? Spider-man TAS is the closest cartoon to the original comics. Ecspecially when it comes to Spider-man himself.

And how did it stay on so long if it was crap? U guys make no sense.

EPIC YO.

Oh yeah that why it is on during SAT mornings

and the reason it looks so much more realistic is bc it was drawn in the traditional Marval style. Unlike Spectacular in its Manga style.

Oh yeah they jst make cartoons for the fun of it and not to draw fans in to make money???? Really? and ya'll r calling Turo and Sergio Retarded? I hope u guys realize how ignorent u sound, jst relax

The guy with the shemale av/sig is a ringer Turo brought in because we hurt his feelings. Whenever Turo gets butt hurt Sergio shows up to protect him.

Also, I'm noticing the forum has a real big problem with reading comprehension lately. Either a lot of people are ESL or kids don't read no gud. I feel like Reedemer was trying to cast a f*cking spell up there.

Sorry Peanut I jst thought it was completely inapropiate for people to call each other retarded or discriminating against them bc of age. Bc I am pretty sure this is against forum rules and trolling.

Also not everybody uses English as a first language. So they not be best at typing.

and yes Peanut I am studying at Hogwartz!!!!

I totally get the age thing. I don't...even really know where that came from in this thread, but it seems weird that came up at all.

And yeah, that's why I mentioned ESL. That's a totally legit reason for typing like a lunatic and I actually commend people who even do it. I can barely use a single language properly, I don't know how people can deal with two or more.

Also, I go to Hogwarts...or I wish I did.

I understand your point. I'm not calling it epic, mature, and realistic to hurt anyone. Out of all spider-man cartoons, TAS had as close to realistic looking people as any other spider-man cartoon. That's what I refer to as realistic. Epic and mature... well I'm not sure there or if I said it was those things, but overall, I do prefer it over any other spider-man show. Ultimate Spider-Man might take the cake here given how it's going back to more realism in character designs over the MTV spider-man, and spectacular.

I'm just not into watching superhero squad shows of characters I love. The whole issue I have with spectacular is that it looks too toony for what they tried doing. They had cute and cuddly villains that didn't look menacing and they tried adding mature themed issues. Spider-Man himself is a character that faces mature issues, but I don't want him to look toony. Nothing wrong with that. We all have our preferences. Your analogy about the happy meal also applies to spectacular though. Just saying.

Edit:

Redeemer knows what he's talking about. Love how you even backed your post up. But the butt hurt will always resort to insulting one's avatars, signatures, opinions, etc. They also stand by their clan and try putting up a front when someone else defends or supports a view different from theirs. Kids... No not an insult, because it really is adolescent behavior.

*Cure* · 04-07-2011, 10:11 PM

I hated the Spider-Man movies. The people looked too real. Especially Tobey.

Ugh. Too real.

Sergio517 · 04-07-2011, 10:18 PM

Lame...

Movie-wise, I didn't like Tobey's portrayal of Spider-Man. He was too much of a p*ssy.

Peanut · 04-07-2011, 10:25 PM

Always love the notion people throw out there that their opinions and views aren't respected, or that they're argued against because they're different.

I don't think very many people here ever have a problem with a different opinion, but let's face some facts of f*cking life here, not all opinions are created equally. I'm not saying in this specific case, because the tards on both sides have valid points, but in general.

There's a huge difference between an informed, educated opinion and an opinion based on nonsense.
