Spider-Man: TAS To Get A Proper Conclusion

Yeah, just an audio recording.

I thought that might come up; I haven't watched any of the pre-90's cartoons. Let me rephrase that then - the only Spidey cartoon that didn't end on an unresolved cliffhanger since the 80s.

Really think about that, guys. Why has animation been so unkind to Spidey in recent decades?

I agree that Spiderman Unlimited wasn't a continuation. It just used some elements from TAS. I realised that they were really two separate shows a few years ago.

It'd be nice to see TAS have closure alright. It was great to hear the actors and music from the series in new material after all these years. TAS isn't as good as I remembered it, but I think it was a good introduction to Spiderman and the best Spidey cartoon until Spectacular Spiderman came along.

One thing I always found interesting is how, aside from storyline changes and censorship and whatnot, those 90's shows were very close to the comics. X-Men, Spider-Man, Iron Man, etc, for the most part the designs were pretty much spot on.

It seemed that afterwards stuff like X-Men Evolution, Spectacular Spider-Man and so forth would start messing things around and having characters have either drastic re-designs or all-out different motivations. I mean just compare Spectacular Dr. Octopus and.... basically anyone in X-Men Evo compared to the comics and some of them you can barely tell apart.

However it seems with the newer shows like the Avengers Assemble and Ultimate Spider-Man and whatnot they seem to going back to making stuff happen closer to the comics and having the character be designed mostly how they look like in the comics and sometimes, movies.

Now all we need is for DC to make a new Batman show that has modern day stuff like Nightwing, Damian, Red Hood and Red Robin while keeping the overall look and designs faithful to the comics. Yeah I know Batman kinda has an animated movie universe now, but I mean a tv series....

Edit- I went back and removed any reference from Batman the Animated Series. I forgot that while classic, the show had tons of redesigns like blue-skinned Two-Face and Tim Drake being pint sized and whatnot. Ironically, the cheesier Batman Brave and the Bold was way more faithful to the character designs.
