Ultimate Spider-Man toon

If anyone wants to see the Ultimate Spider-Man wiki I created, here's the link.

With all these previews we'll have seen the entire episode by April 1st *lol*

I must say, it does look like it will be well done. But then, after The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes, it's easy to guess that Marvel is doing things right in their animation department. God, I love that cartoon. Ultimate Spider-Man looks to be a worthy successor to the name, in my perspective.

New Ultimate Spider-Man clip. This time it's the villains.

Oh and if you ever get the chance, check out the Ultimate Spider-Man Wiki I made. I posted it just above, I'd appreciate at least one quick look.

I'm a little concerned that they're trying way too hard for the slapstick motif. Spidey can be goofy, sure, but I hope that it won't always be over-the-top enough to have the spider that's... a part of his costume... jumping off his costume? I guess I'll have to wait for the episode to know if there's any context to that one.

Here's the way I look at it. Disney's main target audience is 3-11 year olds. Disney advertises only the humor in Ultimate Spider-Man to appeal to said target audience. In other words, Disney doesn't care what the fans want or think, as long as the children are entertained.

I'll bet you that this show will get very dark at times (Paul Dini is writing after all) but Disney doesn't want to advertise anything they'd consider "offputing" to little kids. The way they see it, humor makes kids want to watch shows. How else would you explain all the unwatchable "sitcoms" (notice how I put quotations) they air on their channel.

So you all can blame Disney for all the hate the show's getting.

[ZariusTwo]

Actually...no. Disney are highlighting the "humour" because part of Spider-Man's whole appeal is humour, that's something Marvel, and their dumbass fanboys, have forgotten over the years because there too busy making Spidey miserable

In truth the moronic fanboys don't want to place any fault on "sacred" talents like Dini, who has been writing pretty tame stuff for a decade now, even during his later JLU days. I don't think he's written anything "dark" since the unrated cut of Return of the Joker. I'm not saying any of his recent work has been bad either, they've been mostly pretty good.

People are hating on this because they ALWAYS hate on something fresh and different, there were people hating "Spectacular" too. It's not new. Hell the next Spidey cartoon will get the same treatment from aspies who grew up on either Spectacular, this, or the rubbish 90s cartoon

Basicly, stop thinking that Disney "don't care"...they do, and children are as much fans as the fanboys are. Some will BECOME fans because of this cartoon. Not everything has to bloody "grimdark" like that crudely animated, overrated lame-ass s*it Transformers Prime

I'll have to agree with everything you said except for the part I bolded. If you don't like Transformers Prime that's fine with me, all the power to ya. All I'm saying is that I don't agree with the last part seeing as I've been a Transformers fan for 11 years now.

[TurtleTitan97]

Same here, Moonlight. I may not be a huge Transformers fan, but TF: Prime is not overrated or crudly animated. It's the best Transformers show in years and definatly one of my top favorites.

Back on subject, since this is made by the creators of Generator Rex I hope Spidey will be like Rex and the show will have a similar tone, a mixture of light and dark tone episodes.

New info on four of the villians from the show: Doc Ock, Doctor Doom, The Trapster, and Venom.

DOCTOR OCTOPUS:

“Doctor Octopus is actually the design that we’ve played with the most,” remarks Wilcox. “He’s not the fat guy with a bowl cut. Before the series begins, he’s suffered a horrific injury and can’t use his arms or legs. He’s essentially atrophied to the point where his metal arms have to do his work for him. His suit acts as an iron lung, and he can’t survive outside of his suit.

“He works for Norman Osborn. He’s sort of subservient to Norman, but at the same time has his own agenda. He’s more about the science at the beginning of the series, and then as we get further along, the more he interacts with Spider-Man, the more obsessed Ock gets with capturing and eventually attempting to kill him.”

DOCTOR DOOM:

“Doctor Doom is a little bit different in this series,” says Wilcox. “We’re earlier in his continuity, if you wanted to compare him to the comics, because he isn’t the evil super villain yet. He’s a dictator, but he’s not living outside the law, he has an embassy in New York, and the first time Spidey and his gang meet him, they’ve actually gone to Latveria, so they’re the aggressors in the situation.

“He’s not a magician yet in our series. He’s just about the suit and the tech and the Doombots and all the fun of that. But he definitely is the biggest bad in the universe of ‘Ultimate Spider-Man.

THE TRAPSTER:

“The Trapster is sort of Spidey’s go-to villain for the beginning of the season,” reveals Wilcox. “He’s not the intelligent inventor from the comic with a bag of tricks. On the show he’s all things glue gun. In this series, every time he and Spidey have fought, they make a big mess everywhere, and that’s sort of a catalyst for Nick Fury recruiting Spidey.”

VENOM:

“Venom actually has a completely new origin that we think the fans are really going to like in the series,” teases Wilcox. “I can’t really tell you too much about it without spoiling, but the symbiote has a link to Oscorp.”

“There’s an evolution to the suit in our series. It starts out in a more as a goo form, and then it becomes closer to the actual suit and continues to evolve further into something kind of frightening.”

Awesome! Venom looks great!

As for the trailer, I am stunned by how excellent the animation is. It is without a doubt some of the most fluid animation ever done by Marvel.

[Oculus Orbus]

I'm curious about it, but definitely not loving what we've seen so far.

[TurtleTitan97]

I found this low quality trailer for the show: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=825f_...eature=related

[Jester]

I know it's over done, but does Doc Ock look emo to anyone else?

[Cure]

If you lost the use of your arms and legs, you'd be a little f*cked up, too.

Doom seems to have caught that look, actually, what with the hood draped over one eye. And Venom is quite nifty sporting the symbiote pony tail.

But does Spidey really need a motorcycle?

[TurtleTitan97]

Could be worse. I read a Spidey comic for kids were he was day dreaming he was fighting Galactus and had a "Spider-Mobile"

Hm. Well, that was a dream... And he did have a Spider-Mobile in the books for about one issue, I think... But I won't complain too much; Disney XD is targeted to the young adults, so the weirdness and campy atmosphere fits.

The Spidey-Mobile was last seen a couple years ago in the Old Man Logan story. Hawkeye had married one of Peter's daughters and aquired it in the divorce or something. Logan and Hawkeye drove it from one end of the country to the other. *lol*

Disney XD has updated their website with a character page and a game for the upcoming Ultimate Spider-Man animated series. We also get to see the heroes in their civilian clothing.
