Spider-Man Animated Series Highlights

[ZariusTwo]

Armada is the only exception out of the three Unicron Trilogy animes. It was fan reaction that forced an angered Hasbro to slam the animators and writers and make their story better, thats when we got The Unicron Battles, thats where we got Alexis and Starscream, thats when we got "Clamp" and "Mortal Combat"

Sadly, the same success was not met with Energon and Cybertron, both tried to be too "big" and fell flat on their faces. Cybertron/Galaxy Force is also vastly overrated because it finally got Starscream right, and he stole the series with his Ancient Decepticon arc and his ruthlessness.

As for Digimon Tamers...aside from the first it remains THE essential Digimon series. It was much darker than even the best of the Pokemon movies , there is virtually NO upswing, it doesnt soften anything for inexperianced viewers, many of its characters are traumatised and forced into very dangerous situations that they cannot handle in contrast to the others due to this being a "realist" look at what the show would be like.

Spider-Man TAS still holds up and is still one of the best Spidey series. A lot of people p*ss on it for things that are honestly not their fault, but that of Avi Avrad and FOX. John Semper's "Vortexes" were good substitutes for things he couldnt get away with, and he at least made all of them work with his storylines (Norman was "killed off", but he still influenced Harry to become the Goblin from another dimension, despite the lack of explanation, and the Carnage sybmiote created Spider-Carnage)
