Spider-Man

I realize I am not the target audience for this particular incarnation of Spider-Man, and that's why I rated it a 6, instead of a 4.

This toon is fine. It's not great, and for my personal taste, it's not even really that good...just...fine. The plots are rushed and extremely surface-level, and there are a lot of inconsistencies that I can't even imagine younger teens being willing to overlook, much less an adult viewer. The insertion of multiple characters per episode, and new ones in each new episode may excite fanboys and fangirls who just want to see all the fight and flash, but in relation to plot, it just feels like they're all thrown in there to sell toys and breakfast cereal. It's not cohesive, and they treat you like a 5 year old one moment, while discussing vaguely correct scientific terms, the next. I understand we live in a faster-paced world than the one these characters originally matured in...but I feel this is dumbed down & sped up, to the point of not being worthy of the attention of a discerning viewer. On the positive side, it's easy to watch and does have decent quip-writing, at times, and the pace fits Spider-Man, fairly well, if you don't have any real interest in story. If you can just turn your brain off and enjoy the existence of it, then it will at least be good background noise. Again, I am not the demographic...so I guess that's OK. If you have kids...watch this with them. They will enjoy it, and you probably won't hate it.

To say the show is an understatement of feeling a little bland and how it tells it's ongoing story narratives but it's adequate in the adaptations of trying to be something about Spiderman and for that I will say it's good but even though the animation in action and was acting is done well I have to say is a good step in the next direction of possible marvel animated shows

I'm suprsed at the low ratings on this one, and the genral hate people are giving it. As if being a life long fan of spider-man gives them the right to basically expect everything to be the same as it was when they were 6 years old. The writing is pretty decent, and the reimagining of certain characters and their roles is refreshing. Personally to me it strikes a good balance between familiar and new, and it's still more on the familiar side than not. The animation is anime inspired, and I think its good for the purpose. Give it a shot to have fun, and you won't be disappointed.

This show is a complete insult to Marvel. The animation is terrible and some of the characters are inaccurate.

I think Spider-Man animated series must follow the same storyline as the original comics. And this series definitely doesn't do that ! There are huge changes in what we're used to see about spider-man. Some might say that's good , but I don't. The story is too sentimental and sometimes things are too irrational. Like they made it for 9-year-olds than teenagers. For example Pete and Harry are enemies now and 10 seconds later , a simple emotional scene happens and they are best friends. I consider this series a step back from the Ultimate Spider-Man. (And even that wasn't very good.) In my opinion , Marvel should simply stop adding idiotic characters and happenings to its animations and make a little more rational and more like the comics.
