Why is this show even called Ultimate Spider-man? The only thing "Ultimate" about it is black Nick Fury. Spectacular Spider-man was more "Ultimate" than this.
That's the problem most people have(which they often mix up with animation). Many of the complainers just saw the character designs and assumed the show was just for kids only. Anyone who's actually watched the show know that isn't true. Ultimate Spider-man seems geared more towards kids.
I'd be lying if I said I was fan of SSM's designs, but they allowed for much smoother animation and great fight scenes. I'd say that's a trade-off. It's common knowledge that they only have so much money, and they had to make a decision to either put it into the character designs, or the action sequences, and I'm glad they chose the latter. Wolverine & the X-men is a perfect example of a show that has pretty decent character designs but is seriously lacking in the action animation department.
I agree with this. The animation for TSSM was quite well done. I often think back to the episode where Spidey battles the Sinister Six while in the black suit, there is some great fight choreography there which makes the animation come off looking amazing. I just think a lot of people, not me, had a problem with the character models. TBH, while the USM animation is good I do understand when some people say it looks boring. Personally I don't like the design for Peter (I had that haircut in '97) or Harry.
