Ultimate Spider-Man Animated series

[AquaParade]

The Spectacular Spider-man would have impressed me more, had I not read through all of the Ultimate Spider-man comics, before having seen the show. The dialogue and character interaction in Spectacular Spider-man is just so...lifeless, compared to what Brian Michael Bendis was doing in Ultimate. Still, i did love Spectacular's fluid animation, and devotion to the Amazing Spider-man comics. Would have loved to see it continue.

This new show has potential to be the greatest Spidey toon yet, IF it can stray away from just doing "team up" episodes. That's a big if though....

Is the whole series of Wolverine and the X-men still available. I've looked (to be fair at brick and mortar stores) and I saw it all of once, and now it's gone.

Check out Amazon. They still have the Blu ray one on my wishlist.

Don't know where you live but I got mine at Frys Electronics.

That poster looks very decent. Maybe I'll watch this one because I really hated Spectacular Spider-Man and everything baby about it. From a story standpoint, it had something going, but from the art style of the show, it was horrible. Stop baby-ing everything Marvel!

The new Avengers cartoon is a step up from the Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men in terms of art style, although Wolverine had a better art style that appeased my tastes. I hate character designs that look too awkward. Maybe now we'll get real animation where the people look like people and not toons. Been looking for something as good as the best spider-man cartoon ever, Spider-Man TAS. Please stop the whole I'm a kid spider-man learning the ropes. It's whored out too much, Marvel. Everything is a reboot with Spider-Man these days.

OMG! Just saw the trailer for Ultimate Spider-Man. This looks watchable! The characters look realistic now and not cartoony. I just marked out for Jameson! He looks fantastic and not like a car peeled out on his forehead like in the "Spectacular" Spider-"Kid". I can safely bet this version of Eddie Brock won't look like something out of Dragon Ball Z.

I'd love to see Carnage and Venom look menacing and true to the comics and western art designs. I'll be looking out for the debut of Ultimate Spider-Man.

Just because it doesn't look like Rob Leifeld animated it doesn't mean it's "baby." Whatever that means.

I don't mean to disrespect. Just how I described it to get my point across to how I see it. I hear you loud and clear. Not knocking off the fans who like it. You're entitled to it. How do you feel about the new one coming up so far?

Did you seriously just copy/paste your old reply to this thread in here? Did you not notice your comments were the jumping off point for that entire argument and that it was pulled and locked for a reason?

It's not my fault that people chose to go off course. If you want I can edit it to sound less offensive if that's the issue. All I did was post how I felt about the new show in detail which is not against rules. Like I said, I can edit it further because I did make minor edits already when I reposted it.

[Jester]

May I?

It looks really promising. The style is a step-back to Marvel's animated universe art style, but still have some touches from modern Animated animation style. It's nice and fluid and hopefully it'll stay like that through the actual show, and Spidey look a lot younger then he did in TAS, which is good cause that was one of the things I liked with Spectacular, he was a young teen. Spectacular did start right after Peter got his powers within a short period of time, and I hope this will be something similar, Spidey have recently acquired his powers but we don't have to see the very beginning all over again.

not a fan of the Ultimate Universe, but i haven't read Ultimate Spider-Man which apparently have the good Ultimate stories and it'll probably be altered to fit a more PG audience. So I'm sure I'm going to be positively surprised.

One thing I'm pretty sure about: they probably won't top Spectacular's theme song.

The designs allowed for sleeker and more fluid animation.

The new Avengers cartoon is a step up from the Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men in terms of art style

The Avengers art style is all over the place and extremly goofy looking, it reminds me of the s*it art style Marvel had for Spider-Man Unlimited and the final seasons of X-Men: TAS, back when the companty was bankrupt. SSM and WATXM's art styles are vastly superior and add sensibility to the character designs.

Please stop the whole I'm a kid spider-man learning the ropes. It's whored out too much

You're...AWARE that SSM was the first Spidey cartoon to PROPERLY explore this aspect of the character right? All other incarnations focused on an early adult Peter Parker working at the Bugle, even that overrated s*ite Spider-Man: TAS had Peter at an advanced stage of early adulthood, long past his high school days...he was in grad school in that series. It's not "whored out" at all, do your research for f*ck's sake.

OMG! Just saw the trailer for Ultimate Spider-Man. This looks watchable! The characters look realistic now and not cartoony.

I don't see the difference between either cartoon honestly

I just marked out for Jameson! He looks fantastic and not like a car peeled out on his forehead like in the "Spectacular" Spider-"Kid".Z

Again, I don't see a difference.

And, again, I love how you criticise the Spider-Kid when he started out as a kid in the comics. You don't look very smart when you do that.

SSM and WATXM were NOT based on any movies. Christ.

[Voltron]

The never-ending battle, eh, Zarius?

I love the high school years of Peter Parker. It's how he started; it's where he gained his popularity. 30-something Peter Parker is not fun to watch. Young audiences don't want to watch his super mortgaging curtailment powers, you know?

Again, I don't see a difference.

Just because they cheaped up on the art design for fluid animation doesn't make the designs any better. And also, Avengers looks a lot better IMO. It kinda reminds me of Justice League.

You should get some glasses. You need them.

And let's please not make this a Spider-Man TAS vs Spectacular Spider-Man thing again.

[Brodie]

I think design wise, Spectacular looks better than Avengers. Avengers looks fine, and the people look "normal." But it comes off as super generic. I loved Cheeks' style, and his designs for Spectacular were great (aside from the gingerbread action figure people), stylized and aesthetically pleasing.

You can blame your brother if it does happen.

Oh trust me I will!!!! haha!

The avengers has very generic style, which I dont mind, JL had a more dark tone to it which made it look more sleeker to me.

Takes two to tango!

Overal I have I hopes for the series. I usually dont like Young Peter Parker, I prefer college Peter.

They have used Young Peter parker in the last few incarnation weather it be video games or tv show, but I dont think it will bother me to much.

Lets see:
Spidey '67 - College Student
80's Spidey - College Student
Spidey and his Amazing Friends - College Student
Spidey: TAS - College Student
Spidey Unlimited - psudeo spin-off of TAS, young adult
MTV's Spidey - loosely based on the movies, College Student.
Spectacular Spidey - High School Kid

Yep, most of the TV adaptations had a Young Peter Parker...he needs to be older.
