The BEST Spider Man Cartoons: Spider-Man The Animated Series & The Spectacular Spider-Man Review 

Disney is the worst thing to happen to MMO games. There, I said it.

You're not wrong.

YES!!! Thank you!. He has told the TRUTH!!!

You’re not wrong

Disney is the worst thing to ever happen to both Marvel and Star Wars

Yes I definitely agree

Hell yeah my dude it was dark as shit but I loved it to bad it ended

The 90’s show is still better

@@spider-manbeatsbatman3610 Nostalgia blinds you

Josh Plays it probably does

It's the memes that show spawned. *The glorious memes.*

I wanna see any other animator or writer in that era do something better...

I mean he’s not wrong.

In all honesty the 60s show is actually really good, I’d say it’s the 3rd best Spider-Man show.

because its very true

AS IT SHOULD!

Relationated to stickyness , in an episode of spectacular spider-man , one of the villains hums the intro of the show and as the two villains that were with him , Shocker and Ricochet , looked at him and he sayed "What? It's sticky"

Reading this comment got it stuck in my head

X men

@@martinmorales5837 catchy actually

There were planning for 5 seasons and three movies! The final season would be him graduating high school and the three movies will be focusing on him in College.

Rewatching it right now and with every moment in the series where I think "Man this is awesome" I immediately become bitter over how this show never got to reach its full potential

I feel like the 3rd season would’ve left Peter at an all time low... He’d have his close friends leaving him, like Harry, The Season would really focus on the s2 finale and the knock on effects of the final few episodes

My favorite part of the show was the black suit part,i like how whenever Peter has the suit on the spider on the suit gets progressively bigger

There's a petition online that can help with bringing back the show www.change.org/p/marvel-spectacular-spider-man-season-3

Honestly,it wasn't that great of an idea in Teen Titans. The Teen Titans in the comics are about LEGACY, the same way Spider-Man is about RESPONSABILITY or X-Men about DISCRIMINATION. Most of the time is pretty obvious (Robin, Speedy, Wonder Girl, Aqualad, Kid Flash, etc...), other times, it's in more subtle ways (Beast Boy has the legacy of the Doom Patrol, Raven and her father, Starfire and Tamaran, etc...). The Teen Titans cartoon refused to show Batman, so we kinda missed a huge part of Robin's character. And of the subtle ways, in comparison to the comics, we only saw Raven and Trigon. It's why Season 5 of TT doesn't entirely work. It's talking about the newer generation of heroes but there is only one small problem with that approach...WE NEVER SAW THE OLD ONE (outside of the Doom Patrol), so it loses impact. You don't need to take it to a huge extreme like Young Justice did but I think it was a missed opportunity.

@@rxpenguin100 Wow. You encapsulated why I always felt there was something off about the show. Well said.

@@rxpenguin100 I can see this, but, also, the comics were just better. Stories were better, the characters had more depth, among other things.

@@rxpenguin100 to be fair the reason why Batman didn't show up in the 2003 Teen Titans is because of Waner Brothers put an embargo. They assume that kids will confuse the movie version and The Batman. This isn't the first time that Waner Brothers does to the DC poverty.

Spiderman goes great with other super heroes. His introspection lends itself to great narration.

Thank you

JaxBlade Ya damn right

This is why I love you Jaxblade. You got amazing taste in anime and in cartoon shows. Spectacular Spider-Man is my FAVORITE cartoon of all time. I started watching the 90's Spider-Man series again. It seem good, but it's no Spectacular Spider-Man.

JaxBlade wait where does Kasady cameo in S2???

JaxBlade well I never liked Spectacular anywise so I am not complaining that it was cancelled

Agreed 1003%. The designs were a turnoff at first but I ended up loving this incarnation of Spiderman. Looking back at the 90s show, was a bit jarring for me in recent years sadly. I feel 90s X-Men aged better despise it being produced earlier. But I'll never forget that feeling seeing the X-Men cross over with him for the first time....that was the hypest shit I've ever seen until Marvel VS Capcom became a thing.

Agreed.

me two

All cartoons from 90’s were best. Cartoon styles now adays look cheap and characters look like they have the heads of 10 year olds with bazaar bodies.

Test1 \test2 That's really wrong.

D Tay same

The show did have a great ending, but I honestly think season 3 is the best season.

That lyric is actually "He can leap above our heads."

Oh, well I’m an idiot

kinky

Watcha doin STEP-SPIDER?

@@diobrando570 STOP

This.

Spectaculars was better

Mbiuki Micheni Spectacular's was better if it was your first Spider-Man cartoon.

The show either. Is so boring see so many heteros calling spectacular better cause they miss the point theydo”nt have boners at the 90s to begin with . Something spectacular is lacking!

Spectacular was better with 40 less episodes? And cause u are to hetero? Spiderman is asaga people are not supposed to be heteros watching or they miss the point im gay because of the 90s show i understand .

Faxxx

Flawed? I say it was almost perfection.

Spiderman is always a tennager nowadays becuase of the ultimate comics from the 2000's where he was portrayed as a teenager.

Woah! That's an old Comic

Shit, typo. Fixed now

Awe man, it was funnier before. Oh well, that's just how the cookie crumbles.

I also like Spiderman TAS better, cuz it's darker and more mature

Why did that never occur to me until now?!

I guess it's harder to understand in the intro, seeing as it's pretty distorted. It's also from the original theme, so maybe they threw 'em a bone on that one. Plus, actually draining blood is a pretty big deal. There was supposed to be a vampire villain on BTAS, but they scrapped it altogether when the network said they couldn't do it.

Guy Incognito but they still showed blood on btas

+john Thaerough, sure, they broke a few rules. They not only had guns, but fired them at the "camera," which is apparently a rule (according to the DVD commentary). However, the blood is never explicitly referenced, and was also incredibly rare (there was more in the movie, but that was a PG-rated movie in the '90s). BS&P does cut you a few brakes, which was part of my theory on this show's intro. I really don't know enough to do more than present theories, and I have never worked in TV, but I do pick up a bit from commentary tracks and interviews. Here's some evidence for that vampire episode: dcanimated.com/WF/batman/btas/backstage/interviews/burnett.php

“Spider BLOOD, Spider BLOOD, radioactive Spider BLOOD.”

Fr. Shit is actually so sad. It would’ve gone down as one of the best tv shows of all time

Avery Graham I think Tombstone made more sense anyway. Kingpin is a large, strong, fast, genius, none of those on Spider-Man's level, Tombstone, as the show demonstrated, is a vicious brick. The perfect counter to Spidey's powers. The only advantages Kingpin would have are experience, which Tombstone also has, and his power staff, which Tombstone doesn't need. Add to that the fact that Kingpin has become more closely associated with Daredevil, even though he started as a Spidey villain, and I think Tombstone was a change for the better.

Batfan1939 I mean, yeah, they *definitely* used what they had to the full extent, I’m just pointing out why they used him, not saying that he wasn’t awesome for it, because he was definitely a fucking badass

Sony didn't have the rights to Kingpin. He was part of the Daredevil package which Fox had at the time.

I found it funny that Tombstone was called "the Big Man" by his subordinates and Fredrick Foswell was in this series, because in the comics Foswell WAS the Big Man. He was a villain in Spidey's early days, waring a mask and bulky suit to seem bigger and using the Enforcers to unite the gangs of New York into working under him. He was eventually exposed and arrested, but, after doing minimal jail time, got released and rehired as a reporter to the Daily Bugle. When the Kingpin was introduced, Foswell attempted to wrest control away from him, but after finding out Fisk was WAY stronger and smarter than him, he decided to become the Kingpin's lackey, though he ended up being a mole to the Daily Bugle and died saving Jamison's life.

Batfan1939 I absolutely think that this version of Tombstone was a welcome change. Besides, there's nothing wrong with adapting characters a little bit differently here and there in different media. Tombstone in the comics is typically depicted as being a hitman, but I actually like that version of being a competent crime lord.

Agreed the third season was best and 2 and 4 had too much Morbius but I thought all the series outside of maybe season 1 had a pretty large amount of scifi aspect, I don't see that season 5 had a lot more than the others.

I agree and disagree

I disagree with you

The second season was not rushed. But I do agree the 5th season did get sillier and have all these crossovers. The first half of season 4 is great imo while the rest are eh

@@anthonygarcia8749 and then spiderverse happened😂

Right!!!

Depends which continuity ur going off of

Oh wait really I feel like I need to get my nerd credentials revoked for not knowing that

Only in the main universe and only as a stupid way to unnecessarily shoehorn in a black version of Nick Fury into Earth-616 in one of the dumbest ways possible

^This guy gets it.

It's what Homecoming should have been.

GroovyGreaser you can’t really compare two seasons of a tv show to the first movie in a series...

@@ancientnight agreed

nah Christopher Daniel Barnes is the voice of spider man.

@@ancientnight his voice sounds too childish he's not a great fit for spider man he even voice green goblin/harry Osborne and was garbage at that too.

​@@Oldschool1943To be fair, Spidey is supposed to be a teenager in Spectacular Spider-Man, and teenagers actually sound like that.

Same!!

PJRc 3160 I never noticed it before, but Steve Blum is always good at playing a mixture of threatening and funny villains. Take his Green Goblin, and take his portrayal of Starscream in Transformers Prime. Tell me they don’t both meet those criteria.

I was shocked to notice Steve Blum played Gobs. His voice sure finds a spot in many.

And Norman Osborn being voiced by Alan Rachins, who did a good job making Osborn this charismatic.

@@ColmK83 Go cry somewhere else.

@TETCOM OH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD NO U ASKED FOR IT *CANCELED*

Because it didn't last it was supposed to be a continuation but it was nothing like the original. But it had the best costume

toonstudios1 in 616 universe

No Original Fury is white, the black one come from the Ultimate Univers and was adapted in the movie. And since marvel wanted to milk the MCU, even to the point of shitty on his continuty, they introduce Jr who is the son of OG Fury and exactly look like Ultimate. That was the star of the downfall of marvel who was trying to make their comics like the movie; much to anger of the reader.

MrSafior well you must be racist because Samuel L Jackson is clearly the best nick fury

Mattron You must be a tool for just reaching this conclusion.

Is that a serious reply to my semi-sarcastic comment?

the style was to make the series easier to animated

@@gutsonthemic5261 and better fight scenes. I think it works because you can see these designs and instantly know where they are from.

90s show had the best animation they added a lot of detail in each character.

Which contradicts his comment about him being the worst when it's actually just him being how he's meant to be portrayed.

In a sense that he was supposed to be the grizzled general that you question whether or not he's the OG super soldier turn spy controlling things from the shadows. While Samuel L Jackson's version is similar to his character in Pulp Fiction if he was able to become a super spy.

@Relevant Relevancy Okay two things. One just because he's the original does not make him the best. Two white Nick Fury is a fundamentally different character from Ultimate Fury and the MCU Nick Fury so one can say one is better than another doesn't necessarily have to do with race. But on that note one of the defining traits about black Nick Fury is that his appearance and personality are modelled after Samuel L Jackson even before Jackson portrayed him in the film's which ties his race and personality together. White Nick isn't modelled after Jackson, Black Nick is and so all versions of Black Nick are fundamentally different to White Nick hence why saying one is better than the other isn't necessarily racial.

The thing about *BOTH* white Fury and black Fury is tht they where based , and I quote, "on the coolest cats of their time". The original Fury looks came from Dean Martin, while the modern cames from Samuel L. Jackson. Let's take into account that what passes as cool varies with time and people. But I think we can agree that many people do think that Samuel L. Jackson is a cool mf. Dean Martin, at least for today's standards, ain't exactly as cool as him. That said, to judge who's best and who's worst Fury, it all depends on when and who we are talking about. Much like everything else. By example, who is the cooler Superman? The original, gold age one, who, in *my* opinion, is goofy and boring, the silver age one, pre-crisis, new 52 or reborn (aka, pre-flash point migrated to New 52, with spouse and a child?). Maybe the DC AU one, who wasn't quite as boringly overpowered as the rest? If you ask me? Either the reborn one because the stories I've been able to read focus more on his human side (his son and how he tries to balance him being Supes with his responsabilities as a family man) or the DC AU, because, again, not as boringly overpowered as the rest of them. I'm pretty sure many superman fans (and I can't exactly put myself in that group, I do like some stories of superman but I'm not exactly what I'd call a true fan) will completely disagree with me, coupled with many reasons why I'm wrong (or, if I'm lucky, why they disagree) and why the versions I choose suck/are not even close to being as cool as their favored one. And that's fine, as long as they are respectful. It's an opinion, after all, And after all that, I'll go and give my opinion. I like better Samuel L. Fury than Dean Fury. I find him cooler, and I had more contact with the Ultimate version of Fury than the 616 one before Nick Fury Jr. came to exist in 616, so I'm also more used to him. Does it mean that he is better? At least for me he is. But does that mean that if someone thinks that the OG is better they are wrong. No, not at all.

Who Else Played Spiderman Friend Or Foe When They Were Little?!

Even remembering a fight scene after 3 months is pretty impressive. And it might be easy to tune out for some of them, but that's just a testament to how engrossing they are

It's was the 90s and spectacular spiderman was made in the 2000s and spectacular spiderman graphics look weird spectacular barley had any long story lines while 90s had lots of great story lines it can get really dark like when Mary Jane lost her parents and spectacular Mary Jane just looks hot 90s spiderman is the best like if you agree.

@@kaygamer1561 the graphics aren't weird they just are different similar to playing spider man 2 then immediately playing ultimate spider man

Whats wrong with having Peter in high school?

90a Spider-Man is definitely better plotted, but spectacular Spider-Man has good character moments as well, I just think the 90s one is a little better

Spider blood spider blood radioactive spider blood

The 60s or spectacular spider man had the best

It is opinion based but it seems like even marvel themself like the 60s intro since they even remade it at spider man homecoming.

The 60s theme is classic, the 90s theme is epic, and spectacular is just adequate.

Rewatching it now. And I absolutely agree! The TAS is THE BEST!

Three-parter, actually!

The creators also planned on doing some DTVs afterwards. Which would have focused on Peter's college years and contained darker stories. Including a potential adaptation of "The Night Gwen Stacy Died".

SCOTCH TAPE INCOMING FROM THE SAVIOUR....

I thought it was over it's

I think spectacular is slightly better

Especially the ending goddamn. Not to mention the sequel series

KingMCPEx same I was really little when it came out

I was 6 when it came out

Spectacular was your child hood. Spider-Man The Animated Series 1994 was my child hood favorite super hero series and it still is.

You chose wisely.

@@charley15z I said "like 3." It was a long time ago so. Still, even makes me feel old.

the only two dumb ideas with this show were the spider-mobile and the musical episode

McManners 007 wait F4 were going to appear??!?

no they weren't this show would have just focused on spiderman

Robin 6525 Just because you grew up with it doesn't mean it's good. The show is alright, but Spectacular still beats the ass of this show. It hasn't aged well either.

Man that one episode where Peter becomes the Man Spider or whatever they call it, And the Point of view switches to The Punisher hunting him was fucking amazing. Then Kraven coming in to help him.

Its the best

@@jaredballoonboy7944 people use the same logic with spectacular lol

@@joshuafult84 I made that comment 2 years ago XD

and anyway if it comes back it comes to do its 65 episodes plus movies in between seasons

Question, so what I understand is that Sony has the rights to Spectacular, but Disney has the spidey tv rights, so there was a rumor a little while ago that Sony may look to sell to Disney(or something like that) in a couple years so if that’s true and suppose that actually happens, could this mean Spectacular can be revived?

@@bigboycheesepuffs9644 I wish, but considering Disney’s last two attempts at Spider-Man cartoons were not good they probably will ruin it. Ultimate Spider-Man(unfunny,boring and badly written) Marvel’s Spider-Man 2017(bland, boring, copied and pasted plot lines/elements with unnecessary changes)

Ultra Instinct Goku Black I liked that Spectacular did the Master Planner story from the comics. 90s never got around to it and Doc Oc never really seemed to get his due.

@ScionStorm Yeah Spectacular took several of Doc Ock's best stories from the comics. The Sinister Six, The Master Planner and The Gang War. All in a mere two seasons. Amazing accomplishment. Which is really more than TAS did with Ock in their full five seasons. After his debut he was really nothing more than Kingpin's stooge.

i stopped watching after wally died

Thanks for not hating TNAS

Ultimate isn’t bad if you view it as just a comedy. Because that’s what it is. It’s not meant to be taken seriously at all. It’s still better than all the other marvel shows that were being made at that same time. (Avengers Assemble, GOTG, Hulk and the Agents If SMASH were all bad, Ultimate is still better than those
