Ok, I give up. Clearly I just can't make a funny joke about a morbid subject in comic book lore. My bad.

All I was originally trying to say was that "I liked the first episode of this cartoon." And I am interested enough to see more of this show.

Im kinda likin it, it sure does have that Teen titans feel to it.

I like the animation as well, realistic, and the comedy moments aint too bad. I just hope the dialogue and writing stays at a reasobly intelligent level.

How cool is this? Drake Bell as the web slinger! Goes from Nickelodeon star to Marvel legend! I always liked his music as well.

I saw the first episode about Spidey's origins & there was a scene where Spider-Man was in Spanish class. Was he playing a guitar in that scene? I tawt I taw a superhero guitarist!

It would be awesome if they could get Josh Peck to voice a villain!

I'll probably give it about half a dozen episodes to get some hooks in, just because it's Spidey, but so far I can't stand it.
100% agreed. I cannot stand this show. Spidey is not Deadpool.

The first two episodes were cool with me, but yesterday's had me thinking that I could just give up on the show. The characters became complete d-bags, and White Tiger annoyed me most of all with her Mary Sue crap. Every other word out of her mouth was "boys are so stupid" or something to that effect, and it looks like she'll just end up the token female character who's makes the guys look completely incompetent. Like Hermione from Harry Potter, only worse. Don't get me wrong. I like strong female characters, but just not when it has to be at the expense of her male colleagues.

LOL! No. Clearly you've never read the books and if you have, it must be an entirely different version.

Come on, guys. I understood oldmanwinter's joke, it wasn't that obscure.

Regarding the show, no idea. I don't think I'll be watching.

I have read the books, and I'm not seeing what you're getting at.

There are more character traits to Hermione than "making the males look incompetent". A Mary Sue is generally a blank slate without any real characterization outside of everyone loving her. The b*tch from Twilight is a Mary Sue.

Well then, that's one more good reason for me to like Harry Potter better than Twilight.

The hate for this show is all over the internet. I've checked several Marvel forums and other animation sites just to see what people think of it, and its pretty much all negative.

Kind of a shame, humor in superhero shows can work as seen in Teen Titans and Brave and the Bold, or even the original TMNT cartoon....but here it just fails.

God I hope the Nick TMNT show has a decent balance of humor and action, I'd hate to see it be like this.

Maybe it will get better over time. I bet when Spectacular Spider-Man first came out it got negitive responses.

The best characters in the show are Agent Coulson, Stan Lee, and Nick Fury. I'd watch a show just about Coulson.

I sat down and watched the first 3 episodes tonight. I don't really like it though, and I hate that because this is the first Spider-Man series I haven't liked. As much as I disliked the art direction in Spectacular, that show was incredibly entertaining. This one kinda sucks. I do love appearances by Stan Lee though.

So I sat down and watched the first three episodes, and this just goes to show: Good animation does not equal good cartoon...

Dear lord...it's like if Spider-man was Peter Griffin.



EDIT: Best thing is the voice cast...well some of them anyway.

I got it.

Of course a lot of reprints of The Night Gwen Stacy died removed that sound effect basicaly making Peter not responsible for Gwen's death so it's unsuprising some didn't get it.

Both those shows got a lot of hate. People grew to love them but there were still people all though their runs that maintained their respective forms of humour did not belong in a super hero show.

It did. The designs were hated as well as accusations it was stepping on the 90s show's territory.

I did like Spectacular Spider-Man but there was something "off" about and I think the previews for this show made me realise what it was; I'd seen it all before. The show may have debatably perfected adapting Spidey stories but I've seen Flash/Peter rivalry, Gwen/MJ/Peter love scenarios, Osbourne scheming etc umpteen times before.

I like the concept of this show and I'm willing to give it time to grow and impress.

It has nothing to do with people 'not getting it'.

Snap is not a word that everyone automatically associates with Gwen Stacy. Gee Whiz.
