The Amazing Spider-Man Inspirations from "The Spectacular Spider-Man".

I do not like that show.

"Brock, don't do this bro!"

Nuf said.

I will admit that the "Bro" thing was one of the few things I didn't like about SSM, that and the Kraven change.

Other than that the show is amazing. Raimi, or anyone who makes a Spider-man movie in the future would do well if they followed SSM's example in characterization, writing, and handling of the supporting cast. It's the best use of Spidey's supporting cast in any media incarnation of Spidey by far

Yes, and my words still stand. Is Spider-Man source material so weak to you all, that he has to gravitate towards kids cartoon shows for ideas?

In many cases these kids shows handle things better than the comics themselves. The black suit saga, and the Eddie Brock character, were handled ten times better in the 90's TAS and SSM then in the comics.

Discounting it because it is a childrens show is both foolish and ignorant. SSM has many good ideas, and good writing. Would you want people to discount taking ideas from the Batman Animated series simply because it's a "kids show"? I doubt many would agree with you in that point, since that "kids show" is regarded by many to be the best media adaptation of Batman period.

And besides, the comics aren't always the best source material. Sometimes they need to be changed. I certainly don't want to see Spidey making deals with Satan any time soon in the next few movies (no matter how badly they've written MJ's character in the past few movies).

Sorry, but I do not find anything in that show appealing, except the action scenes. The character designs are awful, the voice acting is nothing special, writing isn't all that great, they took their own creative changes with some villains, which I don't mind, but I didn't like where they went with it. I just can't get into the show. And it's sad that I love almost everything Spider-Man, except that. That and Friend or Foe (the game).

Raimi would be a bit foolish to try to copy that. Saying it's not really a kid's show is...well not true. It's really lighthearted and a bit hokey. Which it probably should be right? WB and all.
1990's Batman>Spectacular Spider-Man. While it had some bad acting in parts, it was a pretty badass show. The music, art, and all that was very well done. They were using hand guns, and words like death etc., which I guess ruined it for Spidey's cartoon because they had to use stupid lasers. That's the only thing I hate about that show, lack of realism. Spider-Man's universe doesn't have cops using laser guns.

Just my opinion though.

Well I would disagree that the writing isn't that great. I thought the Goblin arc was handled wonderfully, and the use of the supporting cast is easily the best of any television of movie incarnation of Spider-man. This is the first cartoon or movie I've seen where they make Flash more than a one-dimensional bully. Harry was done very well, we actually are introduced to characters like Liz Allen, her brother, or Captain Stacy. Gwen is finally a major character, which is refreshing as well.

And while I wasn't a big fan of the character design at first, there's no denying that the animation is more fluid and the action is ten times better then any past Spider-man cartoon.

Not to mention that the show borrows quite a bit from the early years of the Spider-man comics, and I think they handled it quite nicely, while doing a nice "ultimate SM" thing and updating it to the 21st century.

Yes, the show is a bit hokey at times, but any cartoon show is going to be. BTAS had some pretty hokey episodes as well. But if you're a fan of Spider-man comics, I really can't see how you would be mad at SSM as a whole, since it is very much in tune with the characters that the classic Spider-man stories established.

I personally would like any director who takes over the Spider-man franchise to pay close attention to how this show handles the supporting cast of the Spider-man universe. Having Liz Allen and Flash and Randy Robertson included, and be actual characters, is a refreshing change. Also, I love the dynamic that Gwen and MJ have in the show.

Tombstone as the Big Man (a Mob Boss) is one that I would like to see. They won't be using Kingpin anytime soon (for the same reasons he can't appear on the show) so they might as well.

Also, the creation of "supervillains" on purpose to distract Spidey while simple petty thugs loot the city has to be the best explanations for why supervillains exist ever. In supervillain reality there are so many random accidents it hurts.

If they didn't kill off Ock, I would also like to see his rise in organized crime as the Master Planner, and the Gang War...but what's done is done.

Technically, we didn't see him die. We saw him float under with implications of death, but they could always bring him back; I'd prefer not personally but just to say.

Without question.

Very true. He's presumed dead, but, you ever know. Villians always find ways to come back.

sam could do a lot worse than take the episode of the lizard and put it on the big screen. awesome episdoe.

I say hire the entire writing team for the movies. Excellent understanding of characters.
