Ultimate Spider-Man toon

[ZariusTwo]

Just in case anyone cares, the third season of this premieres on Disney XD UK on June 7th ahead of it's July U.S airdate.

They should NOT have cancelled Spectacular Spider-Man for this. Not the Spiderman we need, deserve or want. I have been a big fan of the Spider-Man comic series for many years and have liked almost all of the cartoon iterations of him, but this one just hurts to watch. I understand that Spider-Man is supposed to be a smart-mouthed teen who likes to make jokes while fighting crime, which is my favorite part about the character, but this show just takes it to an extreme. The show feels like a very awkward mix of Family Guy, Teen Titans and The Emperors New Groove... NONE of them in a good way.
I think one of the biggest problems for me was how much the story was broken up by all of the "cut away" scenes. There would be an action scene going on, or a scene with meaningful dialog and it felt like every 5 seconds, they were shoe-horning a stupid "this is almost as bad as the time I..." joke, much like in Family Guy; The problem with this is that it broke up EVERYTHING that was happening in the show.

I heard, looks interesting.

I had really high hopes for Ultimate Spider-Man to fill the void that Spectacular Spider-Man left, but it just didn't deliver at all.
I guess I should address the animation for the show as well, while it looks good in still shots, much of the action gets... fuzzy? A lot of the time it looks like they got lazy while animating the action sequences and just decided to make everything blurry so it looked like he was doing something really cool, but all that it did was give me a headache. The character designs are good and they COULD look great, but it just seems like they got lazy with animating them; Yet another reason why I think that Spectacular Spider-Man did it better, the animation was much smoother.
As far as the voice acting on the show goes, they all seem to have done a really good job... with what they were given to read. So much of the writing in this show just seems so forced; It seems like they thought that the more jokes that the shoved in and the more that they made it like Family Guy,

Third series is indeed called "Web Warriors"

Sadly, it does'nt look like much has changed about it all. Still an obnoxious and childish looking show.

[CyberCubed]

Disney XD is such an obscure channel, it surprises me that kids are actually watching these Marvel shows. Its not like the old days where the popular kids cartoons aired on the biggest networks.

[Shred Head]

Wow Ben Reilly Scarlet Spider appears and he's a big joke words fail me.

[Cure]

Web Warriors sounds like they're fighting crime on the internet.

[electric_sheep]

Crap, pure crap. New Star Wars show doesen't look any better...

Looks like they moved the release date for season 3 to end of August in the U.S. Also, there's gonna be a version of the spider-verse story (which is currently occuring in the comics) featuring the very first on screen appearance of Miles Morales. Of all the shows for him to appear in in animation form.... oi!

Judging by the voice, that might be...Flash Thompson?

I tried. I really tried watching this, but I find myself skipping most of the one shots and going for the Norman/Oc/symbiote stuff. I really enjoy that. Lizard was cool. Some of the arcs aren't half bad. The Family Guy-like segways really pull me out of the action. Still need to wrap up season 2 on my Netflix. Think I'll watch the Iron Patriot and 2 part goblin related finale and call it a day. Guess I'll wait for season 3 to show up on Netflix and pick and choose from those eps as well. Bit of trivia for ya, folks. Steven Weber who voices Norman also reads King's It on audio. He's hilarious and unforgettable in that, and I love his vocal range. He makes a pretty mean goblin. He also made an awesome Power Sauce rep in The Simpsons episode King of The Hill. Wonder if he enjoys playing ruthless business men. Tom Kenny certainly seems as if he enjoys voicing under sea themed characters. haha

Forget flavor of the month Miles, this episode will also feature the first animated outing for Miguel O'Hara

[BabyTurtles]

I'm only watching the season for Miles Morales. XD

Can we have Spectactular back now? How is Miles even going to fit in this universe?

Maybe if we're luck, they'll kill off this Peter Parker.

[blindturtle02]

Now that's something I never thought I'd hear when reading about a protagonist! Wanting him killed off! haha! I guess there are other series out there that have annoyed people, but I honestly haven't come across a thread in which someone wanted the main character dead. This really struck me funny! Now I keep thinking of a thousand ways for Family Guy-like Peter Parker to die. Giant chicken, maybe? Not that I'd want to see Spidy killed off in any fashion. Pete really needs to think about looking up his family tree. I'd swear his parents were Peter and Lois Griffin rather than Richard and Mary parker. I keep hearing the show compared to Family Guy, so the only way I'm able to buy into this portrayal of Spider-Man is that this is one weird alternate Earth where he's a Griffin and just doesn't know it yet. Think about it. All the strange segways, his weird off the wall comments like,"Hehehe, I said wiz," and,"Hehehe, I said toot." He's a Griffin. Got to be! Yeah yeah, kidding of course. But it makes sense. There has to be a Quahog on whichever alternate Marvel Earth this is. Still need to finishup season 2 on Netflix btw. Seeing Amazing Spider-Man II for the first time a few days ago sort of reminded me of the fact that I still haven't caught up with this show yet.

He doesn't. He's from his own earth. Spider-verse deals with Peter teaming up every version of Spider-Man from the various earths in the multi-verse to

Spoiler:

fight off Morlun (who's draining the totem energies from the spider-people). At least that's how the comic event is gonna play out (that starts out in November). Heck even the Manga-verse is involved and Marvel hasn't used that in years!

It won't be "every Spider-Man ever" though, certain Spider-Men are off-limits due to rights issues such as the Raimi and Webb movie versions.

Haha. No.




But that would be great, I hate this Parker.
