Ultimate Spider-Man toon

*Raph's Girl* · 02-28-2012, 11:17 PM

With the Ultimate Spidey toon premiering on April 1st Marvel has revealed the first image of Peter Parker's team of "like minded" teen heroes (Iron Fist, White Tiger, Nova, and Luke Cage).

First up is Teen Iron Fist Danny Rand:

That's a strange April Fools Day joke.

I probably ought to track down the complete Spectacular Spider-man series on DVD. I've only seen the 1st season.

For whatever reasons, Spidey cartoons seem to have a habit of getting cancelled prematurely before all the plot threads get wrapped up. So frustrating!

Ugh. Is this seriously what we traded Spectacular for? A sh*tty team show?

F*ck Disney.

It really is a shame, especially since Spectacular Spider-Man was so well-written. Season 2 was even better than the first in pretty much every respect; I don't think it got a proper collected DVD release like Season 1 did, but I still highly recommend sitting down and watching it through.

I like Iron Fist, but I dont want a teen Iron Fist. Even in the "Ultimate" universe, Iron Fist is older than Parker. His hair also looks terrible.

And who the **** cares about White Tiger?

It just seems like they're pulling the 70's B-listers that never show up in animated venues.

The only positive about that for me would be if Moon Knight shows up.

Anyways I agree with everyone. They cancelled a good show for this? I'll give it a chance either way.

~~AquaParade~~ · 02-29-2012, 01:13 AM

What's truly perplexing is the talent they have behind the show. Bendis and Dini. This thing is destined to be great, but I am just as worried as you guys.

*CyberCubed* · 02-29-2012, 01:19 AM

I don't see what the problem is. If the show sucks we'll just get yet another Spiderman show within the next 3-5 years.

They churn these things out as often as new Batman cartoons nowadays.

*ZariusTwo* · 02-29-2012, 05:39 AM

Yeah, with Bendis involved, it's little wonder there going with these characters, as Bendis is a 70s Marvel fanboy who's done his damndest to make them relevant again. This also continues Marvel's werid idea that Spidey should have some kind of team.

There's two types of Spider-Man story you can tell, the fun but ultimatley bittersweet "Parker Luck" stories (Spider-Man: TAS, MTV Spider-Man, Spectacular Spider-Man) or the balls to the wall cheesy breeze wise-cracking yarns (60s Spider-Man, 80s Spidey, Amazing Friends), somehow, while it's very likely it'll be a bit of both, I think this will be predominantly the latter.

*ToTheNines* · 02-29-2012, 06:11 AM

We will not forget.

Moonlight1102 · 02-29-2012, 07:01 AM

All I can say folks is try not to judge the show until you've seen 1-3 episodes.

*The Stryker* · 02-29-2012, 08:06 AM

Eh. Looks fine to me.

Ultimate Spider-man is probably the wrong title for the show with this format. Spider-Man: The Brave and The Bold would probably be more appropriate. But hey, let's keep acting like this show is the sole reason Spectacular got cancelled.

Or Avenging Spider-Man, considering that's the (admitedly retarded) name of the current Spidey team-up book

*Candy Kappa* · 02-29-2012, 02:43 PM

Is it really that surprising that characters are younger the their usual portrayal in something that have ultimate in their title?

I'll remain unbiased until I've seen a couple of episodes

*Raph's Girl* · 03-01-2012, 09:52 PM

Here's (urgh) teen Luke Cage:

U mad, bro? This cartoon exists and Spectacular doesn't. That's enough of a f*cking reason for me to dislike it.

*ZariusTwo* · 03-02-2012, 06:14 AM

A boarderline STUPID reason all the same.
