Spider-Man TAS vs. Spectacular Spider-Man

I refused to watch it at first because I was being close minded about the character designs. After one episode the show had me hooked and the designs actually grew on me rather quickly. I had rose tinted memories of the TAS, a lot of which were dispelled by re-watching the whole series recently. They did some great stuff but after it ended I wanted more Spidey and this series was there to give it to me. Shame it hasn't seen a Bluray release yet, Wolverine and the X-men looks great in high def.

Ugh. Too real.

I don't know, a bit too cartoony for me:

I wasnt, the animation on Spectacular THRASHED Spider-Man TAS

Still dont agree unless u mean on the fluid motion and even then its not that much better. It does have more action scene, but that due to censorship.

True that. It could of been a much better show, but Fox asked for too much that it just had to end. Hopefully we get that in this new one.

If you mention sh*t like Spider-Man TAS and a classic like the 90s Batman show in one post your opinion is automatically invalid.

When's the last time you watched Spider-man TAS? The animation doesn't even begin to stack up to Spectacular. You guys mix style with quality wayyyyyy to much. What you all dislike is the style of animation. That would be how the characters are drawn. What we're talking about is how it's animated. How it moves, the frame rate, you know the actual animation. Style is not animation.

I don't want to sound rude but people get your rhetoric correct before talking about this stuff. That's directed at everyone not just Redeemer. I've been seeing this mistake in topics about the turtles toons as well.

Yeah, okay. Whatever you say boss. (sarcasm)

[GK Punk]

Considering the fact that Spider-Man TAS Couldn't have guns, Vampires couldn't drink blood and pretty much anything related violence was banned from it, I don't see how it was a mature show at all. They were clearly aiming it at children. It's fine to like the show, but it wasn't dark and mature at all.

Wow, you're a dumbass.

Spider-man TAS had very jumpy, and awkward animation. I'm not gonna knock you for liking it, but for Christ's sake don't come here refusing to take this show of the pedestal for whatever reason you have.

At this point it seems like you guys are just defending this show tooth and nail because your "bullies" don't like it. Kind of a pathetic reason to take a stance, especially considering this is an internet message board.

My main thing is saying that a cartoon looks too toony. Mind boggling.

Um no. Open your mind and use your eyes. I know life is hard, but there is a clear difference in art design that can establish a cartoon from looking too toony. A cartoon is full of toons, duh, points there sherlock. However, comparing Spectacular to TAS in art design, anyone with a brain can clearly see that spectacular is much more "toonier" vs Marvel's cartoons of the 90's. Their art style was closer to that of the comics. Spectacular went with a toonier look as Redeemer has stated with it's manga art style. The whole show is very colorful. You act like all cartoons are on the same scale of art design.

Compare Batman: Brave and the Bold's art style vs the art style found in Batman: Under the Red Hood. Obviously, one is striving for a more mature look and the other is striving to be a children's cartoon.

1. Points for the insult. It's how you must get your point across.
2. Sorry dad, for having TAS on a pedestal vs other spider-man cartoon incarnations. I must be wrong for liking the one that appeals to me more.
3. No one is defending anything. If anything, we're simply dropping our thoughts and we get nothing but insults and wise cracks from the more soured up members. It's not like they're asking for elaboration or a discussion. They're just talking crap to talk crap. It's not how discussion is carried in real life. Anonymity is bravery. These "bullies" have a right to an opinion, but I'm not the one insulting them, their intelligence, or existence just because they disagree with me.

So now we're wrong for having an opinion? I like TAS because it's a better show to me overall. And if anyone has a problem with that they have nothing better to do then be dicks on a forum. I mean, WTF! We're discussing cartoons for f*cks sake. How old are most of you people anyway? Because for someone to say I'm stupid or retarded because I like something better, is just a dumbass. And now you're here calling Redeemer a dumbass? Bet you won't say that to his face, only behind a computer. This is what I hate about this forum. The idiots who feel like they are of higher power then others. If someone is wrong, correct them without trying to be a smart ass like if you're any better. Because I know for a fact, that nobody is perfect. Let me like what I like, for whatever the hell the reason, because no one tells me I'm wrong or stupid for liking something. It's all f*cking opinions at this point.

Um gee... None of those qualify toward your opinions now do they. More like a balance to your... what do you guys call it here... sarcastic posting style. Try harder.

[The Stryker]

Kind of a side question but you brought up a show and brushed it off. Brave and the bold.

You say it's obviously a kids show but have you watched it? The entire show is one giant nod to older fans. Don't even start on the art style since it's all based on the 60s Batman and is meant to be a throwback.

It should also be noted that these shows stem from comic books and characters that were created for children.

Last semester at college actaully me and 4 other guys and second I know what I am talking about. Spectacular had poor details. It was great with fluid animation, but they sacrificed detail to make it more fluid. Thats why I say there about even. I give the edge to spectacular still bc of how impressive fluid the animation was.

ToTheNines shut the Hell up and stop insulting people go troll on another board. U may not be knocking for my taste, but u havent read through the thread and I have PROVEN and EXPLAINED why I liked Spider-man TAS and why I hold it in such high regards.
And as for defending it. Its a conversation, but people like u have to start trolling and ruin topics and boards.

This made me laugh I not going to lie, but same can be said for both parties. I think people jst need to remember this is suppose to be fun.
I think some people need to read the rules, ecspecially about trolling. If u are offended by this comment then it most likely applies to u
