Spectacular Spiderman was indeed spectacular even if it didn't get a full run. But I guess because of that it didn't show enough of the spideys mythos so I can see how it is not the definitive spiderman cartoon. despite the shortcomings I think Spiderman TAS gets too much hate. sure it hasn't aged perfectly but I still think its not only perfectly watchable but the best interpretation of a more complete spidey mythos in animation. The MTV show was alright, it tried a bit too hard to be "hip" but the style was fun, I loved the new girl they made up for the show as well. but its far from an amazing cartoon. its fine for what it was. The new cartoon I'm not counting on it being great at least not for the defintiive spiderman cartoon mostly because it's a team up show and while it may be awesome it wouldn't be a true spiderman cartoon with all the team ups. I should also mention that Spiderman Unlimited is not a terrible show, it has a a few stinkers but also plenty of great ideas and I wish we had seen more of it.

As far as X-Men. Wolverine and the X-Men was a fine cartoon, would have loved a second season, didn't like some of the changes but it was interesting. Evolution had a great run, not the definitive version in my opinion since it went a bit too far from the source material with some characters, especially the first season. show is great though. And yes despite its short comings I also feel that the 90s Xmen cartoons is the definitive version, not that the others aren't good but we got so much of their x-men mythos.

I'm trying to judge this without nostalgia goggles and I think I do a good job at it, but I do realize how much hate the 90s shows get.

and since we're talking about Marvel...

The new avengers cartoon while not as amazing as some people say its definitely fun. umm the 90s avengers cartoon is average, not that bad. the 90s ironman/fantastic four are pretty bad, both seasons, not just the first like some people may have you believe. the hulk cartoon is alright and the silver surfer is pretty good.

I would love another marvel animated universe like the one in the 90s, it didn't matter that there were continuity flubs since it meant each series could do whatever it wanted and not worry about continuity with the other shows, something maybe the comics should take into account. it was still cool seeing heroes from other shows in your show. my mind was blown as a kid when the x-men showed up on spiderman.
