Ultimate Spider-Man toon

[TurtleTitan97]

So the next episode is about a spider-man musical? Meh, this looks awful.

God help us.

I think the shows okay. One positive is that it tries to do things new and not rehash any previous ideas or concepts seen over the years by previous Spider-Man shows.

To me, that's one of the problems of the show. It just doesn't "feel" like a Spider-Man show with the changes they made. Peter comes off as an irresponsible kid, Mary Jane is Lois Lane in a teenage body, Nova is completely unlikeable, as well as White Tiger, and Spidey has only fought a few villians from his rouges gallery while the rest are from other heroes.

Perfect for Drake Bell! I can imagine Spider-Man rockin on the electric guitar & singing.

You're right on one thing, Spider-Man fights everybody else's villains and almost none of his own. But, according to Comic Con, were getting Lizard, Kraven, Electro and Rhino, not to mention were getting Green Goblin at the end of the first season. Here's his design: http://www.marveltvnews.com/wp-conte...9/IMG_0205.jpg

I dislike Nova as well, I'll give you that, I do not, however, completely dislike White Tiger. I think she was unnecessary and was only added to the show because they needed a female superhero lead, which would have been better suited for Kitty Pryde, with her role in the comics and everything.

I think the Mary Jane Lois Lane aspect is kind of true a bit, but, I think this version of the character is the most accurate, in terms of personality, to their Ultimate counterpart.

I saw the musical episode, hilarious! Spider-Man singing was awesome! The only thing missing was a guitar & that would fit Drake Bell perfectly!

I'm on a roll! First the Aquabats, now Spider-Man!

She's not completly accurate. Ultimate MJ loved Peter so much she sometimes called herself "Mary Jane Parker" in conversations. This version just wants to be friends with him. Hopefully that changes at the end of the season or in the next one. I'm sick of Marvel's current idea that the two should be friendzoned.

Yeah, that's been annoying to me as well. I was hoping by the end of this season, we got Gwen Stacy. Unfortunately, they probably won't throw her in until Lizard shows up.

I know a lot of you are going to be mad at me for bumping this thread, but I just saw the season one finale and I adored it. Seeing as I'm one of the only people who still watch the series and legitimately enjoys it, I will point out that the first season finale takes itself more seriously, has character development, and has less "cutaway" gags.

Just a heads up that season 2 starts Monday Jan 21st at 7pm ET on Disney XD with a one hour episode. Normally the series will air Sundays at 11am.

The season premier introduces Lizard (voiced by the awesome Dee Bradley Baker) and Electro.

Lizard? More like Leatherhead. Lizard actually looked like a lizard (not entirely) in the Amazing Spider-Man film.

Yeah. Lizard looks like Punk Rocker Leatherhead.

I'm still going to tune in for season two. I really enjoy the show, and frankly, I find it sad that no one else here does.

Oh well, I'm still updating the thread when an episode airs anyway

Hey, don't worry about what the rest of us think. If you like this show that's fine, but as a Spider-Man purist, I find it offers nothing for me or even for the character. I feel it completly misses the point of what makes Spider-Man appealing.

Nevertheless, I'll be watching the second season just to see if they've learned anything from the first.

[Moonlight1102]

The first episode of season two is now available for free on iTunes, and I think you'll all be happy about the following that happens in the episode.

1. It's far more serious and much darker.

2. Spidey isn't an ass.

3. Spidey's team recieve lots of character development and act like a team.

4. The Lizard is creepy.

5. The cutaways are very limited, but seem natural and only last for 2 seconds.

I highly recommend it. Marvel seems to have learned there lesson with last season.

[Raph's Girl]

Thanks for the heads up on that. Twas a pretty good ep. Lizard reminds me alot of Leatherhead (there's probably some gator in the syrum). A good change of pace from the 1st season. Wonder when this'll air on tv?

[ZariusTwo]

Yeah, this is definatly more like it. Still not 100% behind the show, but we'll see how the season plays out.

[Raph's Girl]

Heads up! Season 2 starts TONIGHT at 7pm on Disney XD with TWO episodes. The Lizard (which many of us have seen) and Electro.

There will be a 3rd episode on Sunday that introduces Rhino.
