I knowwww. I understand that stuff got mixed up with the reboot of the film series, but did they have to flush Spectacular?? Couldn't they have just put it on hold for a couple years instead of wasting time developing a new show?

Rage.

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.

I dunno what you saw, but I saw the premiere expecting something different (because of your post) and was extremely let down. The show is still ass.

I've never watched the show due to the bad reviews online.

As far as I know it tries to have similar humor to both Teen Titans and even Nick's TMNT show, but winds up failing?

I can understand why they rushed this one out...it was Spidey's 50th anniversary (also the 25th anniversary of his marraige too, but only the newspaper strips did anything with that...sort of), a new movie was coming out, Disney wanted to capatalise on all that momemtum.

Poor Paul Dini, he's gone on record saying this is the worst thing he's ever worked on and that Loeb is a dictator.

If your idea of humor is stopping the show every 10 seconds so Spider-man can turn into a chibi anime character and talk to the audience then yeah it tries to have humor. For me it actually has the same problem turtles has. It feels like it has ADD. Jumps all over the damn place and randomly turns into anime because kids like anime so why not? If you're 5 this show might be engaging but it has absolutely nothing to offer anyone else but the most masochistic of adults. I've seen people defend this show saying crazy stuff like "Well 10 minutes out of every episode is good". For one that's debatable but if the other 10 minutes is garbage why would anyone waste their time?

I don't think the show is as bad as most people make it out to be. I think the early cancellation of Spectacular Spider-Man and the false rumors made up by Agent X are to blame for most of the hate.

When did he say this? Or was this another one of Agent X's fraud rumors. :/

I don't know about any of that. All I know is I turned it on and it took me 3 tries to finish one episode. The show has nothing to offer an adult. Which it doesn't have to but when there's examples of successful super hero series that kids loved and adults did too it makes it annoying when one just goes straight for the kiddies. They have to know just as many adult comic fans will want to watch the show as kids. That seems to be the one thing Yost gets and Loeb doesn't.

People don't like it because it generally IS as bad as it is. I liked SOME episodes, but overall it has been a disaster, I know you like it and thus will come up with any old excuse to defend it, but try to understand everyone has a range of different tastes.

Also, as far as I know, the Dini thing isnt an Agent X fabrication. I don't think anyone can say it's been his best work even if it were.

Also, that "Ultimate Spider-Man is ripping off TMNT 2K12" theory is obviously wrong since USM came out 5 months before TMNT.

The only good line is, "I always said this town was a zoo." It's corny, but works.

But seriously. What is going through Jeph Loeb's mind right now? He has worked on shows like Smallville, Heroes, and even Lost. How did he become so small after being so big?

His son died. He chose to retire after that, but Quesada picked him to work exclusively for Marvel while he was greiving, which, depending on the circumstances, led to either some of his best work (the death of Captain America mini-series) or some of his worst (Ultimatum, his Hulk run), many still don't think he's really recovered

The sad thing about USM is that it has a lot of good writers working on it, but they've been instructed to write it on an unchallenging pre-schooler level

Well, don't forget that Disney acquired Marvel as well as Lucas Arts so they own both Spider-man, other superheroes, as well as Star Wars and Indiana Jones back in 2009-2010ish. So they ended the show apparently for it to air on Disney and didn't want to have to start the season over with a new cast, new theme music, basically new everything since they all worked under WB, not Disney. More money just to keep the show running which they felt wouldn't have been worth it in the end (probably would lose money) which is what Disney is all about - Investments and Profits.

Whether you like it or not, I'm still adding these.

I'm very loyal to the show, and you can't tell me it's legitimately bad or that I shouldn't defend it.

Yes we can. It's called having an opinion.

When did anyone say you shouldnt? All I said was you were an apologist...besides, you've yet to put up one intelligent defense of this show armed with valid reasoning. I've noticed this pattern with a lot of people who have bad taste in shows...way too defensive and unneccersarily arrogant, yet not up to much in terms of reasoned defense, almost as if they KNOW there's no real excuse for what they're watching. Don't fall into that trap please. If you enjoy it, fine, but you're taking your love of this show way too seriously, to the point you'll start convincing people you're not quite there in the head. It's not Ghandi you know, you don't have to take a bullet for it.

And adding "whether you like it or not" to your vow to keep posting up clips just boarders on petty childishness/trolling on your part. it's a mediocre kids cartoon. Ligthen the hell up. There will be plenty of better Spider-Man cartoons that will follow it in decades to come.

Excuse me? I have bad taste in shows?! Get a life. You can't tell me what to do, nothing and I mean nothing is legitimately bad, that's not an opinion, that's saying it's bad regardless of your opinion.

Don't start acting like a jerk and say "I have bad taste", seriously back off. What ever happened to "everyone has different tastes"? That's dogmatic.

What a dumb thing to say.

I don't like the show, it's just not for me. They have a villian of the week and one episode and we are never going to see that villian again, kind of thing going, and that's one of the reasons I don't like it ( aside from the cutaways and spider-jerk) anyway everyone is entitled to their own opinions.
