Be sure to check out the pictures of Josh Keaton's car.

[Arcturus]

Good stuff, thanks for posting it up!

:up:

[spider-neil]

sounds pretty cheesed off about the grief he is getting for changing the shocker to the enforcer, I have to agree with him when he says shultz(sp) isn't/wasn't integral to the character of shocker not like otto (for example) is integral to the character of doc ock.

[Venom 1988]

lol I just heard smh12's question

[varsas]

Great podcast! It was interesting hearing them talk about what's coming up and why decisions were made on the development of the show. I'm really looking forward to seeing future episodes and season! :)

[Venom 1988]

This Jackups guy from the UK stole my avatar! :cmad:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Awesome! I'll listen to it now. :up:

[Webhead2006]

cool going to listen to it later today around 4pm est after my class gets out and i can listen to it in peace in my dorm room.

[vinny2]

cool going to listen to it later today around 4pm est after my class gets out and i can listen to it in peace in my dorm room.

As soon as I get back from work. I promise.

[Spider-ManHero12]

This podcast has been so awesome so far!

[Venomfan]

sounds pretty cheesed off about the grief he is getting for changing the shocker to the enforcer, .
i must have missed that part, what did he say?

[ReggieWhiteJr]

Been stoked for this since I found out there would be a 2nd part to this podcast. I hope I got my questions answered. I'm under the name "Reg" at Crawl Space.

[spider-neil]

i must have missed that part, what did he say?


essentially he says the 'character' of shocker is basically the suit so changed the man in the suit to the enforcer so the villians didn't seem so random, and I have to agree Herman Schultz isn't integral to the character of shocker like norman is to GG or otto is to doc ock.

in the pod cast they talk about peter parker the college years as direct to dvd (after the cartoon series is fininshed) with a more mature theme that sounds awesome, I would love to see the harry osborn on drugs storyline.

[Web-Head]

Ooh, love how Josh is describing the Symbiote arc, sounds like it'll be epic.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Ooh, love how Josh is describing the Symbiote arc, sounds like it'll be epic. Agreed, I was so happy when he said that.

[ReggieWhiteJr]

Well they answered my question about the Sinister Six! :woot: Oh and Josh's car rocks! :hehe:

[Jick09]

anything important?

[Web-Head]

so...what do they say?
anything important?
Listen to it!!:cmad:

:cwink:

I can't wait for the symbiote arc now, Josh saying the writing in one of those episodes is his favorite, and it standing out from the rest...makes me think these pat few episodes were just warm ups for what's to come. Really looking forward to it.

[Jick09]

Listen to it!!:cmad:

:cwink:

I can't wait for the symbiote arc now, Josh saying the writing in one of those episodes is his favorite, and it standing out from the rest...makes me think these pat few episodes were just warm ups for what's to come.I'm doing work

[Spider-ManHero12]

I loved their reactions to the word Geekgasm. :woot:

[Jick09]

I loved their reactions to the word Geekgasm. :woot:
what was your question?

[Spider-ManHero12]

what was your question? I had four questions, but they only answered 2, but that's 100% fine by me. Anyway here they are.

For Josh
What makes Spider-man so interesting to you?

For Greg
How many episodes will Peter have the Symbiote suit?

[Jick09]

For Greg
How many episodes will Peter have the Symbiote suit?
and he answered?

[Spider-ManHero12]

and he answered? Nope, he coludn't.

[Webhead2006]

I'm listening to it right now.

[Jick09]

Nope, he coludn't.

[Spider-ManHero12]

yep...I just heard. Cool! :up:

[Webhead2006]

yea i am on the question on what was taken from ultimate spidey that works/not works.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Also, I'm loving how Josh's car looks. I'm sure he's so proud! :spidey::up:

[Webhead2006]

yea his car is sweet.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Josh Keaton really has become one of us. I mean, he loves the comics and he loves Spidey overall!

[Webhead2006]

yea he is a total geek.

[Visionary]

Someone post the highlights of the Podcast, please...

[Webhead2006]

yea for the people to lazy to listen to it all or just cant for what ever reason we need to get full highlights on this one and the other.

[Spider-ManHero12]

yea he is a total geek. Yeah, and I'm defenitley loving the fact that he is. :up:

[Webhead2006]

yea to quote someone in the podcast the whole show is a total geekgasm!!!

[Spider-ManHero12]

yea to quote someone in the podcast the whole show is a total geekgasm!!! Amen!!!! :up:

[Webhead2006]

Good podcast got around to finally getting through it all.

[spider-neil]

I'm desparate for this series now
after listining to that podcast I wish they would chain the animators to their desk and only give them toilet breaks and one call a day to their loved ones to tell them they're still alive.:woot:

[varsas]

It was interesting to hear that they are merging the episodes in the arcs into films with additional footage. I'm looking forward to seeing them!

[Kal-El 8]

Oh Man I'm really excited to see how their going to tell The Black Symbiote SPIDER-MAN / VENOM arc .

[Jick09]

I should ask about Carnage
I'm dying to know if they'll put him in this series.

[Webhead2006]

u mean should have asked, they did this podcast like two weeks ago.

[varsas]

I should ask about Carnage
I'm dying to know if they'll put him in this series.

Given Greg saying that they are struggling to fit the main guys from Spidey's rogues gallery into the series I would expect that is a long time down the line; Scorpion is only going to appear in Season 3!

[IamProdigy]

For someone who doesn't have the time to listen to it all...can anyone tell me what he said about the symbiote arc? Lol.

[Webhead2006]

that one of the episodes script was both greg's and josh's favorite script so far. They really didnt say much besides kept calling it the dark arch.... not wanting to spoil things coming up.

[Spider-ManHero12]

It seems as though the Symbiote arc will most likely be the biggest arc yet and I'm so happy to hear it. I really have a feeling I'm going to be so so satisfied with the Symbiote arc. :up:

[Doppleganger853]

Why are they talking like chipmunks? Is it just me? I can't understand.

[Webhead2006]

what? your speakers must be messed up.

[Doppleganger853]

what? your speakers must be messed up.

No because the first part of the podcast was fine, the second podcast is "sped up" sounding like Alvin and the Chipmunks. All his other podcasts work fine. I don't get it.

[Webhead2006]

must be on your end it was fine for me.

[Webhead2006]

ummm who knows. maybe its the flashback showing ben's death he did say we are going ot see a partial origin peak in an up coming episode.

[Webhead2006]

yea and i doubt they would kill her dad either since we just met him and they have no plans to kill jean dewolfe yet either.

[Spider-ManHero12]

ummm who knows. maybe its the flashback showing ben's death he did say we are going ot see a partial origin peak in an up coming episode. Yeah, I can't wait to see that. :up:

[Webhead2006]

yea me too if it actually happens. And for people who didnt listen too, greg's answer to the shocker/montana thing was yes he knows who shocker was but he didnt see what was so important for shocker being herman schultz so he decided to make it montana and then he went on to see if fans are still mad about it and hope herman is going to take over mantle at later time will be disapointed because they are not going to change it.

[Venom 1988]

Wasent the whole Shocker stuff disguised in part one of the podcast not part two? Just wondering cuz u guys keep bringing it up

[Webhead2006]

yes but they talked about it again in part two, i was just posted it for shocker fans u didnt listen to it.

[ReggieWhiteJr]

At first I was bugged by Montana being Shocker and not Herman Schultz. But then I asked myself "Wait, who the heck IS Herman Schultz?" After that, I didn't care and when I saw him in Market Forces, I cared even less because it was such a dope episode. I think they did the right thing.

[KingOfMars]

im having a difficult time downloading it, did they say anything about how long the symbiote/venom saga will be?

[Stuart Green]

4/22/2008


Can someone please put up some highlights? I can't download it and it's driving me crazy!

By the way, I'm also a Crawl Space member and I asked some questions there. Mine were the last ones asked. Did they get asked? If so, what were the answers? Any help is very much appreciated. I'd really like to know what they said.

My questions for Mr. Weisman:
1.) We've seen two Spider-Man villains not seen on the Fox Kids "Spider-Man" cartoon, Electro and Sandman (and I thank you for including them), but will we also see any other villains that were not included in the Fox cartoon, like Beetle, Boomerang, Mysterio II (Daniel Berkhart), Jack O'Lantern and Puma?
2.) I know there are plans for cartoon shows for Iron Man and the X-Men next year and I know you guys currently aren't allowed to include the Fantastic Four, according to a recent interview. But does this mean that other Marvel heroes, such as The Incredible Hulk or Captain America, will not be making appearances? I'd really like to see a Spidey/Hulk team-up and/or versus episode again. We haven't had one since "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends".
3.) When does Quentin Beck become Mysterio on "The Spectacular Spider-Man" cartoon series?
4.) Since Montana is Shocker as of now, does this mean he will or will not be replaced by Herman Schultz, the Shocker in the comics, on the cartoon in a later season?

My questions for Mr. Keaton:
1.) Aside from Spider-Man, what other Marvel heroes do you like?
2.) I heard there's a new Spider-Man video game due out this year or next year. Will you be involved as the voice of a character in the game, like Spider-Man or Harry Osborn?
3.) What do you think of the current Spider-Man comic books? Do you read them?

My question for both Mr. Weisman and Mr. Keaton:
What did you guys think of the two previous Spider-Man cartoons, the five-season John Semper "Spider-Man" cartoon and its short-lived one season sequel "Spider-Man Unlimited"?

If anyone knows what they said, please let me know. I wish I was unable to download the interview myself, but I can't.

:csad:


Thanks for reading,
Stuart Green

[IamProdigy]

ummm who knows. maybe its the flashback showing ben's death he did say we are going ot see a partial origin peak in an up coming episode.


Well in the 90s series, right before he got the suit off of him, he was reminded of his Uncle Ben, so I wouldn't put that past the writers to have him think of his uncle and the great quote than his uncle gave him, and that'll probably be right before he take the symbiote off.

[Arcturus]

Why are they talking like chipmunks? Is it just me? I can't understand.

Yeah, this happened to me when I first tried to listen to the podcast. And for some reason, then the entire podcast would stop halfway through. So I tried listening to podcast again, and it worked normal.

:huh:

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yeah, this happened to me when I first tried to listen to the podcast. And for some reason, then the entire podcast would stop halfway through. So I tried listening to podcast again, and it worked normal.

:huh: Did you download it or just press the play button on the square box on the main page?

[Webhead2006]

yea i just played it off the site if the dl isnt working for you guys should just play it straight from their site.

[Arcturus]

Did you download it or just press the play button on the square box on the main page?

I just hit the play button and when it started, it sounded like the chipmunks had take over the podcast. And when I downloaded the file, the audio was fine, but then it would cut off halfway through, so I never got a chance to listen to the entire podcast.

Oh well.

you could basically use his argument for any character including Spider-man

[Arcturus]

So what was said about the venom arc? I remember they kept saying the final arc was going to be dark. Was anything specific given?

[Webhead2006]

not really as i said in an earlier post only other thing said was both greg and josh loved the script for one of the symboite/venom episodes but didnt say which ep number it was.

[Web-Head]

Yeah, Josh said the quality of the writing in one of the episodes in the symbiote arc is brilliant, he said we'll know which episode he's talking about when it airs.

Now if that ain't a good sign of things to come, eh?:word:

[Webhead2006]

my guess is probably the venom ep.

[Web-Head]

my guess is probably the venom ep.
My initial guess, as well.

[Sarcastic Fan]

you could basically use his argument for any character including Spider-man

That's not what he said. What he said was that he not only read piles and piles of Spider-Man comics, but he studied them. Studied every situation and ever character to get to the core of who that character is. When it came down to Shocker, the core of Shocker is the suit and the powers. Who is Herman Schultz? Greg couldn't tell you. He knows who Herman is, but really, what is their too him? What do people miss beyond the name? Shocker being Herman Schultz doesn't matter compared to say Otto Octavius being Dr. Octopus.

[spider-neil]

you could basically use his argument for any character including Spider-man


that's not true, any character with a history or a persona before the accident/experiement changed them into a villian I would say the character is fundamental. otto/doc ock, norman/gg eddie/venom etc.

in the case of the shocker it is basically a man in a suit and his character outside of the suit didn't bring enough to the table to warrent keeping, you could in fairness argue this for sandman and rhino but SSM developed marko and o'hirn outside of the costume.

[sauronthegreat]

I really can't understand why the issue of the Shocker is repeated again and again. We all know that in Marvel, for the commercial continuation of the series we had like Hobgoblin I and II and III..., and there were like four Green Goblins, there was not even one Phoenix... and now the problem is that Shocker is not Herman Schultz in this magnificently done show. Even though the character himself, as said above, is insignificant for the story of Spider-Man, whereas the Shocker is. And I haven't seen the Shocker even once outside his suite in the comics, not even in the previous show which is so praised here now. Even there we didn't know a single thing about the Shocker: his name, the origin of his technology, even the real nature of those gloves... was that vibration, sound, or white lasers... nothing was mentioned, but no one complains about that, because that's "THE" 90's Show, in which Carnage was in alliance with Dormamu and Mordo, in which the Vulture became the Human-Spider, or in which Mary Jane and the Goblin were trapped in some kind of 'dimension'... those were all stupid solutions for the prolonging a story, not to mention the ever annoying repeat of shots and scenes, the horrible animation, and the all-fit-muscular enemies. (why Doctor Octopus needed such muscles? He is a scientist, he even has four mechanical arms... the nature of the character is that he is a little and a fat man, but that's the paradox oh his unique character... aside his look he has those arms which make him on of the greatest villains, and in the 90's show, because he was the leader of the Six (not to mention that they were "Insidious") he had the biggest muscles)

[Venomfan]

yah and you really can say that about any other character. Why not make Spider-man some guy named Michael Smith? you can have him act the exact same way Peter Parker does, its not like Peter Parkers name changes the guys personality.

[Spider-ManHero12]

Yeah, Josh said the quality of the writing in one of the episodes in the symbiote arc is brilliant, he said we'll know which episode he's talking about when it airs.

Now if that ain't a good sign of things to come, eh?:word: Agreed, it's going to be so amazing, Web-Head. :up:

[Ratcrawler]

Female viewership has increased 300% eh? Get ready for a whole lot of shipper AMVs...

[Sarcastic Fan]

yah and you really can say that about any other character. Why not make Spider-man some guy named Michael Smith? you can have him act the exact same way Peter Parker does, its not like Peter Parkers name changes the guys personality.

I'm sure Greg would own you in any debate on this subject.

Seriously, what is it about Herman Schultz beyond the name that you miss?

Tell me what it is that is so great about Herman Schultz and I will personally pass it on to Greg Weisman, himself. Don't just say "you can use that argument about any character". Tell me about Herman.

BTW, this is open to Venomfan and only Venomfan.

[KingOfMars]

what im hoping for are episodes that will have spiderman in the black costume but not have it be the focus of the episodes, hope what im saying doesnt confuse anyone.

whats so important about Otto Octavius, Mac Gargan, Max Dillon, Flint Marko? they never had a background before hand either?

[Sarcastic Fan]

whats so important about Otto Octavius, Mac Gargan, Max Dillon, Flint Marko? they never had a background before hand either?

Answer the question. What do you miss about Herman Schultz beyond the name?

[Venomfan]

Answer the question. What do you miss about Herman Schultz beyond the name?
i just answered it above in the form of a question. its the same as if they changed any of those other characters

[Sarcastic Fan]

i just answered it above in the form of a question. its the same as if they changed any of those other characters

No, you didn't answer. Be specific. What do you miss about Herman Schultz beyond the name?

[spider-neil]

whats so important about Otto Octavius, Mac Gargan, Max Dillon, Flint Marko? they never had a background before hand either?


flint marko - that's a fair comment, in the comic outside of the custome he was a petty thug whose origin was explained in a couple of panels.

max dillion - ditto

mac gargon - actually had a history before the scorpion, he was hired by jjj to discover how peter got the pictures of spider-man

otto - didn't have a history before the accident but his character after the accident has certainly been explored

imho they could have changed the first three but not otto his character is important because you need to see the change in personality before and after the accident.

[IamProdigy]

No, you didn't answer. Be specific. What do you miss about Herman Schultz beyond the name?


The name Herman Schultz is cool, :)

[Joker]

whats so important about Otto Octavius, Mac Gargan, Max Dillon, Flint Marko? they never had a background before hand either?

No Spider-Man villain from the Lee/Ditko era had a background when they were introduced. Stan never gave them a backstory as to who they were and what made them tick as people before becoming villains.

Writers at Marvel gave the villains backstories later on down the line.

[Visionary]

The name Herman Schultz is cool, :)
I like Charles Schulz name better.

Seriously, will someone write down the highlights of future episodes for the show, in which they talked about.

[Venomfan]

exactly, thats the only point i'm trying to make. The only reason Shocker was changed was because Weisman felt like it. there is no logical reason to it, and thats all i'm saying. It would have been better if Shultz was the Shocker, just because thats what we're used to. By what Weisman said i'm kind of surprised he didn't make Ox the Rhino, heck that actually almost makes sense, i mean he's pretty much got as much backstory as Shultz

what i find the wierdest is how in many people's eyes here, Weisman can do no wrong. i mean i love the series, but every episode has had its negative moments, yet so many people seem to think its absolutely perfect. So far i think Weismans done a great job, but he isn't perfect, there is no one that could make a perfect series. there have been a bunch of flaws in my eyes so far, but that doesn't mean i don't like the show. and its wierd how when i say i think something was stupid, people act as if i attacked their mother or something, and its not like Weisman actually cares what i think. heck spidey 1-2 are some of my favorite movies, and theres still tons of problems i see in them, such as Peter Parker acting in a way throughout them that he never has in the comics, except like the first issue.
I like Charles Schulz name better.



Seriously, will someone write down the highlights of future episodes for the show, in which they talked about.
all in all Hermen Shultz is a really stupid name, i can't imagine growing up with the name Hermen



mac gargon - actually had a history before the scorpion, he was hired by jjj to discover how peter got the pictures of spider-man.
ya i know that, but its really nothing important, it has nothing to do with his personality or w/e, any random bum could have been used by JJ for the Scorpion experiment and it would be the exact same



otto - didn't have a history before the accident but his character after the accident has certainly been explored
imho they could have changed the first three but not otto his character is important because you need to see the change in personality before and after the accident.
same thing, any random scientist could have been used.

thats it, like imagine if 3 months ago i came to this board and told everyone that Montana would be the Shocker. For one everyone would tell me i'm BSing it, but also every single poster would comment on what a stupid idea it is. They actually do that in the cartoon then, and all of a sudden its considered great, heck most here considered it great before they even saw it, just as soon as it was announced.

imagine if all those other characters were changed, i imagine people would be pissed, but going by the lot around here i'm sure most would end up saying "OMG that is fantastic, awesome news!!!"
I'm sure Greg would own you in any debate on this subject.
this is the same as saying my daddy can beat up your daddy

[Sarcastic Fan]

my daddy can beat up your daddy

Dude, my father died of cancer. That's not cool.

[Hurm...]

my daddy can beat up your daddy :down Lame.

[Spider-ManHero12]

:down Lame. I have to second that.

I can't believe this. I still haven't been able to download the podcast successfully and I can't hear a thing.

Does anyone know what they said? Did they at least mention anything about having any other Marvel heroes guest-starring on the show or when Quentin Beck shows up as Mysterio on the series?

Any help is very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Stuart Green They said that they don't plan on doing crossovers any time soon. However, they still might do a few crossovers after season two. Also, Quentin Beck makes an appearance this season and he will become Mysterio in season 2.

[Sarcastic Fan]

how old are you kids? you obviously didn't get what i was doing

26 and that was beyond juvenile.

[Venomfan]

26 and that was beyond juvenile.
do you even know what i was doing there?

[Webhead2006]

beck is showing up in episode ten as his regular human self and is just a cameo he is going to be mysterio in one of the early episodes of season 2. As for marvel heroes they dont plan to have any in season 1 or 2 and right now only want to stick with spidey's cornor of marvel U. But maybe season 3+ we could end up seeing a hero spot hopefully FF,xmen, DD, or Doc Strange to name a few.

[Sarcastic Fan]

do you even know what i was doing there?

Oh, I more than get it, but it was still ****ing juvenile.

[Visionary]

Wow, 5th pages and still no one put up any highlights, it's enough to make you wanna curse. :dry:

[Venomfan]

Oh, I more than get it, but it was still ****ing juvenile.
its obvious you didn't then, if you did you can explain it to me? because if understood correctly i fail to see whats juvenile about it. most people on the internet just seem to go "oh i get it blah blah blah" over and over even though they have no idea what they are talking about

[Webhead2006]

Yea i know, someone should have done a highlight of answers by now.

[Venomfan]

Yea i know, someone should have done a highlight of answers by now.
there pretty much has been it seems all throughout this thread, just not in one post

4/24/2008


Oh, okay. Thanks, Spider-ManHero12.

By the way, Webhead2006, I read on Comics Continuum a few weeks ago they're not allowed to include the Fantastic Four, even though they tried to have an appearance by Johnny Storm/Human Torch, and they can't use Kingpin, either, because of the whole Daredevil legal right thing, if I remember correctly.

I do agree on one thing: there should be a highlights of the answers all in one post. That way, everyone would know and not miss any of the answers by accident.

Well, thanks for reading and have a good day, everybody.

How do you know that? Maybe he felt it would be more interesting to have one of the Enforcers be a super powered villain. Maybe this will be linked to a future storyline he's planning.

Shocker is a C-list villain. His importance in the Spider-Man universe is minute. He's a thug with powers. Nothing more. Why do you think that nobody cares how lame Bendis makes Shocker in Ultimate Spider-Man?

i've seen some people get all in a huff and puff about that over in the comics forum. i think its funny, it makes sense to me anyway, i don't understand how Shocker is any threat to Spidey anyway, he has no problem with guys with guns

Spider-Man can just web up the gun, or yank it away from the crook, web up the crook himself, or knock out the crook. None of those work against Shocker. Plus Shocker's blasts are way bigger and more damaging to the surrounding area than bullets. To dodge a single bullet, Spider-Man may only have to tilt his head, and only for a fraction of a second, and then he can move his head back. To dodge a vibro-blast, he's gotta jump completely out of the way. And that blast is going to take out a huge chunk of the wall, if not the whole wall itself (or ceiling/floor/whatever). It's like the difference between playing dodgeball and going out on the highway and dodging traffic.

It all depends on the storyteller and the artist to make a character as they please. John Romita JR has done magnificent job of depicting the Shocker in Peter Parker Spider-Man and he wasn't portrayed at all as the Shocker we all knew, he was way to powerful.

Wow, 5th pages and still no one put up any highlights, it's enough to make you wanna curse. :dry:

Here I have done some highlights from the podcast:


Kraven will appear in episode 15 (specifically speaking of Kraven's Last Hunt Saga; we can expect more mature stories in the Direct to Video DVDs)
DVD editions of the seasons will include additional scenes that were cut! Like some violence scenes and 3 episode arcs will be merged and edited as movies. (they specifically mentioned the Lizard and the Rhino episodes)
Tinkerer has a cameo appearance in Season I and becomes the Tinkerer in Season II
There will be some tragedy and death!? (maybe even in Season I)
They are definitely hoping for 65 episodes set in high school years and after that more mature stories that set in college years of Peter Parker. (the death of Gwen Stacy will not happen until the college years, nor the Clone Saga)
The arcs of the first season represent themes: -Biology
-Economics
-Chemistry
-Psychology

The Prowler may appear in the show
According to both Josh and Greg one of the later episode in the last arc has the best script
There is a significance for the story of Spider-Man that Venom appears in Season I and Greg thinks that his appearance is not rushed.
Quentin Beck appears in episode 10 but becomes Mysterio in Season II

excellent summery :word:

I wish they'd just release the entire season (on dvd) rather than 3 episode chunks.

That sounds the most interesting to me; they're combining the episode arcs into full movies for DVDs, and there are three episodes to each arc, but I would really wanna see the last four episodes merged into a movie-like version...that, imo, will be an awesome and epic big episode.

Sweetness, 777, haha.

good point, i've never thought about the extra damage he causes
Thank you, you've done a wonderful job.
lol this is the nicest thing i can remember you ever saying

They are. But first releasing the arcs.

I know, I meant 'instead of' as I will more than likely double dip for both.

i know i hate that, and knowing how these companies work they'll probably skip out on the extended scenes and stuff on the full season 1 set

[Webhead2006]

oh that would suck but hopefully they dont if/when they plan to do full season sets.

[AndrewGilkison]

Glad to see the first season will be on DVD. I have to work on Saturdays so I haven't seen this show at all.
