Spider-Man

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.

Thought I was going into a new season of Spider-Man, packed with good action, funny Spidey quips, and the occasional moments when an animated show for younger audiences doesn't shy away from getting serious. First episode in I already knew what was gonna happen, unlike the Ultimate Spider-Man (the best spidey animated series of the 21 century, in my opinion), it does it's origin story. Thought we were done with this story trait, no recent comic books, games, even movies have covered this in the main story of the media, and yet I have to sit through the first episodes, watching something I've seen thousands of times (not done well, let alone entertaining in general) because I don't want to see if I missed anything if skipping to the next episode.

So anywho it's probably for new comers to the story, but the millions of people who have known and loved Spidey have no need to watch this, especially us nerds.

To sum up: waste of time to previous fans, and also not the best introduction for new ones either if I'm being honest.

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

Like many people who watch this show, i'm very fond of Spider Man and have definitely read some of the comics! I absolutely love him and although this show takes a different turn when it comes to how Spidey does things, as it's more science-based compared to past Spider-Man shows, that doesn't mean that you should turn your back on it. Give the show a shot and eventually it will grow on you (hopefully).

I might go a bit on a ramble here, but I don't really get why this show gets so bad reviews! I mean sure, it's not as close to the comics as some cartoons, but that's being done for a reason! If all of the cartoons were the same then Spider Man would become a character that just becomes repetitive, you wouldn't get anything new out of him.

I see these new cartoons that give him something a bit new more like a 'What If' type of series. What different adventures would he encounter here because he thinks more like this and goes to this school? What new problems will arise from it? The events could become endless! You just have to give it a shot.

Now you might be wondering why I didn't give it a 10/10 if i'm so fond of the show. Well there are some things that I can agree on when it comes to people who don't like the show. One BIG thing that hit me is that it seems like Spidey isn't doing things as solo as he used to like he did in the comics. He's definitely getting a lot more help from his friends to a point where they /almost/ overshadow him. That part sort of throws me for a loop because this is Spider-Man and he knows how to kick butt by himself and without the extra help and someone telling him how to do his job.

But take into the fact that THIS IS A KID'S SHOW. By watching a lot of the episodes, this show encourages teamwork and working with others, which is no doubt a good trait to learn as doing things by yourself a lot isn't always the best thing. The fighting might not be as graphic as you want it to be because this is Disney and they don't want to start exposing the young ones to crazy fights. I wish the fighting animation was more action-packed, but with that thought in mind i'm actually pretty happy with it.

That's the bad part, but luckily the series is getting to a point where the plot is getting darker, the story is going deeper again into who Spider-Man is and why he does what he does. Clashes between characters are amazing and I have to admit that the art style isn't half bad. Just like the show, the art style and animation improves as the series continues on and same goes with the action!

As stated before, you just have to experience the series past the first three episodes and then you'll start seeing why I admire it so much. If you get at least past those pilot episodes then you can really start saying that you know how the series is. Don't judge a book by its first few pages. Take time to get to know 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
