Spider-Man Unlimited

I'd hadn't seen the show until this morning on ABC Family when I caught the first episode. People had told me it was bad, but I didn't think it was the steaming mess it was.

In a nutshell, Spider-Man goes space truckin' to a counter-Earth to save J. Johan Jameson's astronaut son and hunt down Venom and Carnage. Why Spider-Man would want to hunt down Venom and Carnage after they actively leave the 'real' Earth of their own free will is beyond me. Anyway, this counter-Earth is full of animal/human hybrids like goat men and rat women (cause it ties into the whole *Spider* man thing. eh? eh?).

The animation is better than some shows, but the artists seem to want to have every color in the rainbow in every frame of animation. This only leads to a big, bright mess. The character designs are laughable. The new spider suit is cribbed from the Spider-Man 2099 costume. Venom and Carnage can turn into demon-like monsters or glatinous piles of goo. These two were human last time I checked. The animal people are just plain silly.

Animal people? Space travel? A nanite-based spider suit? I wonder if the reason Stan Lee's name appears nowhere in the credits is because he was the only person to realize that this show isn't what Spider-Man's about? This show seems to mimic the reinvention of Batman a la the WB's 'Batman Beyond.' It fails miserably. The Spider-Man movie's in theaters if you want to see your down-on-his-luck, wise-cracking, Aunt-May-wheatcake-lovin' webslinger. Skip this show unless you're looking for a laugh.

Spider-Man Unlimited is an okay show but compared to the previous Fox Kids show that started back in 1995, it sucks. The show before was true to the comics. They may have bended them a little, but it was the same old costume and same villians. This show lacks the magic that made the other series so special. The costume is kind of cool and the story line is original and inventive, but I'll take Spider-Man (1995) over this any day.

great atmosphere, it has this noir-scyfi-cyberpunk story and art very well made, even the music transport you to this kind of dystopian future. one of , in my opinion, most memorable spiderman versions. the story is darker than the usual cartoons and is very mature.

10/10 for the artists and the writers

also it has some kind of social critic "animals (in this case "bestials") doing experiments on humans" now how it looks unethical? what that makes you remember? the supporting characthers have great stories besides them , git hoskins, the green globin, dr.naoko... all with their very own personalities and mysterious pasts. this story absorbs you with the narrating ,the music , and distopyan scenario.

This show is utter c**p, with a cliché storyline and without the best of spiderman: his duality and his moral decisions.

Plus suddenly Venom and Carnage turned into ridiculous stooge-like idiots. And now they morph like the T-1000 does. Wow.

I remember watching this a lot when I was younger and I loved it I like the suit the intro and the futuristic setting but I rewatched this and it was not as good as I remember. I used to like it a lot and now that i watch it I didn't enjoy as much as I did. There was a long the felt boring but I still enjoy watching it. I hated that the show ended on a huge cliffhanger which absolutely sucks and it's disappointing.
