Homecoming New Spider-Man animated series coming in 2017

[Mistah K88]

I knew the promo art wouldn't represent what the show actually would look like...However I do wish the artstyle was a bit more stylized... You see it looks like the Spider-Man cartoon is using the same "semi realistic Phil Bourassa lite" art style that the rest of the Marvel cartoons have been using. Also I would say the lack of shading for these models using this artstyle makes it a bit more jarring.

Seeing what the art actually looks like makes me long for the days that shows in different continuities had different art styles, look at Spectacular Spidey, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes, Wolverine and the X-Men (that was a hell of an era for Marvel Animation) the art styles were COMPLETLY different from each other, giving us more variety in visuals.


While it is hard to tell based on this clip, I'm thinking that Scorpion is some common criminal, completely omitting the J. Jonah Jameson involvement with his creation... I mean USM made him into some sort of ninja, so I guess this is closer.

Animation is turrible. There is no Spider-Sense. Is it so wrong to bring back Spectacular Spider-Man back. Please bring it back. Why we need to watch this crap.

 

[Slick]

I actually liked the clip. I remember many people said the same thing about Spectacular's animation at first.

 

[Slick]

So it's set in a different universe than Avengers Assemble.

Yes I believe so.

I remember too.

After USM I'm not going to be to critical of this. If they are giving me good plots and characters development then it's all good.
(Also having MJ would be a plus t.

I think Playskool complaints. So, most assumed a kiddy kid's show.

Pretty ironic, in hindsight. Same with USM.

I have no problem with style of animation. But that animation is like you downgraded your graphics to low settings. No shadows, no depth field effect, no blur etc. You can't feel and get space of environment together with what you are focused on - the character. It feels flat. It also lacks dynamics and sometime frames, meaning animation itself is low cost where they didnt spend enough money to make it compact and tight... This truly does feel like generic project of some internet youtube geek who loves and gets thing animated online for fun in spare time. Hell **** I saw better DB fanfiction material animated online made than what "hollywood studio" can clearly do with budget.

That Peter design is hideous.

All 3 cut down in their primes, too. SMH.

Sneak Peek

"Coming this summer"

Woof, that animation is hideous.

It's painful when networks shove these low rent cartoons to kids, the only saving grace for this show is to actually be written well and not mindless entertainment.

I think you're referring to the character design and not the animation.

I remember back before TSSM was released, it was being touted as 'going to be' the definitive version of Spider-Man. Then, they released pics of the character designs and pretty much as a group everyone went "Wha?!" Me included. Now I really dig TSSM's art style. But, once the show aired, many of those same detractors were praising the show for how well it is animated.

TSSM is a 2D animated show that came out just about 10 years ago and the animation in that show is better than the sneak peek for this new one. IMO, of course.

That prototype suit looks awesome. Probably my favorite of all the prototype Spidey suits.

Not sure what to expect from the show. For me the positives are that 1) I liked the trailer and 2) I know they have to make it a bit different from Ultimate. Part of the reason Ultimate was...you know, Ultimate...is because they just had to deviate from SSM a bit. The same goes for this show now for similar reasons.

The negatives are that Loeb and Quesada are still at the helm. This is the same team that implied kids are too dumb for serialized storytelling. And much like how there was a trend in the 90s to make these shows more mature, this decade Marvel's been doing the opposite with their animated properties.

It gets even more frustrating when you realize they're the same people responsible for the Netflix shows - in other words they choose to dumb their animated shows down intentionally. They don't necessarily lack the talent.

So overall I'm pessimistic, but there's a decent window of optimism around. Let's see how quick they close it.

First look at the toys? The poster isn't sure if it is legit.

It's legit. You can see Peter's protosuit in one of the photos which is identical to the sneak peek.

I just wanted a nice little solo Spidey cartoon, this is literally going to be Ultimate Spider-Man 2.0

On the positive side, maybe it won't be as obnoxious?

Hopefully, I really want the 4th wall breaks to be gone...but the spider team ups...that hurts...

 

[ItchyWebShooter]

Can't possibly be as obnoxious...

Right?

...


Right...?

 

[harryoscop]

Im hopeful for this show

Eh, the team up stuff doesn't really bother me that much though I'll say I would prefer a more contained Spidey show.

This probably won't be as obnoxious as USM but looking at that trailer I'm getting the impression this will yet again be aimed at kids. I'm pretty sure both Loeb and Quesadilla are involved and they've already proven how they both feel about animated shows. If that wasn't bad enough they've added on Slott and Wacker in the production Dept. Excuse me for a moment while I go barf.

After watching that trailer some more I'm convinced that I don't like what I'm seeing. The animation is jarring. It's just plain awful. And Spidey's voice is only a hair better than Bell's. It's too high pitched and grating.

Yeah, TSSM's character designs were not my favorite. It's a bug reason why I didn't check the show out until season 2. I do realize that simplified character designs lead to smoother animation. I do prefer a bit more detail in the character designs though. Something closet to Gargoyles would have been nice.

Still, I would love for that show to come back. It was so good.

 

[ironwez20]

So long to Spider-Man being a unique character now that we have like 12 running around.

 

[ItchyWebShooter]

I think Wacker is a good addition, tbh. The editing and overall cohesiveness of Spidey books went to crap after his departure.

 

[Nicko-Ray]

Am I the only one who's stoked for this? It's steps above USM animated and that says a lot haha. Something to be excited for imo. Yes, the animation could be a little better but otherwise I really liked what I saw in that clip.
