World The Ultimate Spider-Man Animated Series Discussion Thread - Part 2

I still can't get myself to watch this show. I keep trying to give it another chance but I can't sit through an entire episode without skipping through it.

Honestly,everytime I see this show I'm reminded of how much the Avengers have dominated Marvel since the 2012 movie. With this show,instead of it really being about Spidey/Peter Parker it's all about Nick Fury,the Avengers and Shield. Spidey seems to play backseat a lot to these Shield storylines and characters. Granted I haven't seen a lot of this show lately,but last time I watched I wondered what happened to Aunt May,Mary Jane or if Gwen Stacy will be in the show. We really don't see anything too much about Peter's life,romances;etc,etc.

It's like a modern day "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends."

I know dem feels. With great effort I was able to get through seasons one and two. I did find some enjoyment with a few things but otherwise it was very difficult to stomach. There were multiple episodes where I had to stop watching and take a break before coming back to it.

You may ask yourself why would I put myself through that. Well, if I'm going to give a review on something, good or bad, I'd prefer to be as educated on the matter as possible. I've heard that season 3 is an improvement over the first two seasons however I randomly watched a couple from that season and I saw no improvement. Same ol' garbage.

 

[UltimateWebhead]

I saw your review of the first 8 episodes or so of season 2, did you review the rest? I'm interested in seeing them, and your grade for the entirety of seasons 1 & 2.

Oops. Sorry, Aziz, I missed this post. Yeah, yeah, I know. I've been procrastinating writing the reviews on the remainder mostly because it's a lot of bad stuff to write. I dislike when I sound so negative. Maybe I'll just write up the positive stuff. That would take less time too.

 

[Spider2099]

How long is this show going to go on for?

Understandable, and thanks in advance.

three years too long as it is...

 

[Daltonio]

it ain't official until the STUDIO says it's official and that ain't the case here, so all you USM fans, don't have an orgasm just yet...

Too late, I already did.

I'm amazed that Disney isn't using this opportunity to do something really cool with Spider-Man in animated form.

 

[TheVileOne]

It is sad that this show might get to 4 seasons but Spectacular Spider-Man only got two.

A lot of things in life are sad and much sadder than that. Sometimes you have to move on.

It is cool, for people who like it.

It's all a matter of opinion in regards to the show's quality. But however way you put it, the show is a "dumbed down" children's cartoon and Spider-Man isn't being taken very seriously.

[Spider2099]

Lol. And in all honesty I have no issue with people enjoying the show for what it is. But Disney could and should be taking Spider-Man more seriously.

He's like the Ninja Turtles or Transformers, taking him less seriously shouldn't be an issue.

 

[Spider2099]

What do you mean exactly?

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

he's saying that just like the Ninja Turtles and Transformers, USM is for kids and shouldn't be taken seriously...

 

[Spider2099]

Well see that's the thing: TSSM was technically "for kids" and could be taken seriously.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

true, but there's an OBVIOUS difference between TSSM and USM... USM is obviously for an extremely younger audience below the 12 year old mentality...

 

[Spider2099]

Yeah but that's why I was saying that Disney should do something with animated Spider-Man that can be taken more seriously. Heck, they can keep USM going in the meantime while they put out direct-to-video movies that are unrelated.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Yeah but that's why I was saying that Disney should do something with animated Spider-Man that can be taken more seriously.

they won't... as evidenced by all the current and lesser Marvel animateds, as opposed to years past...

 

[Spider2099]

Oh well.

 

[THUNDERSTRIKE]

Oh well.

yeah, I know...

but sooner or later, it'll all change for the better, eventually... I HOPE...

 

[Spider2099]

As long as Spider-Man exists, there will always be Spider-Man cartoons. Eventually USM will come to an end like all other shows and Marvel/Disney will do something new. Unless USM ends up being like The Simpsons and runs for the next 20+ years.
