It's not a joke. Man, I feel bad for anything premiering that day. Every thinks its either going to fail or be a joke and not premiere.

 

[SpideyFan866]

This show is gonna have some big shoes to fill in.

Very true.

 

[SpideyFan866]

From what little I've seen in commercials Spidey's design looks better here, more Bagley-esque and not having a head the size of a peanut.

I'll watch a bit but I won't have that warm adrenaline rush as I did watching 90's Spider-Man.

1) I don't really care for Spidey's design in the new show (I don't like that the red torso portion of the suit doesn't connect with the red gloves)

and

2) Your sig is gold.

Wow that's rich coming from someone who jumps on anyone even giving the smallest critique of the new Spider-Man costume for the new movie and you're bothered by that change/omission?

How does that bother you yet you're enamored with the new suit from the movie?

Talk about being a walking contradiction.

 

[Troy_Parker]

I wonder why they removed the strip. Still looks cool though.

I can't wait for some new footage on this.

Speaking of the Spider-Man design, except for the elimination of the stripes on the arms (which makes me think of 1930s/40s film serial heroes), it actually looks better than The Spectacular Spider-Man design.

It's not just that. I really don't like Spidey's look in many areas in this new series for more than just that little thing.

The main thing I dislike is the body type he has in this new show. Its very muscular and very much like the body type used in the Raimi films, and I didn't like it then either.

I like the TASM suit because of the reasoning behind how it looks. I myself have said that the design of the TASM suit is not good but its made to look that way as its supposed to look like something a nerdy high schooler made which it, imo, does.

In the case of the USM cartoon, I do like the costume, except for the minor and pointless change of the strips on his arms (and don't use that as bait for an argument against the TASM suit) and his wider body which bugs me.

I really shouldn't have said I don't care for the design so much as the changes. BUT like I said, I like the TASM suit for a much different reason than just liking the design, which I do in many areas.

Me too. I don't really get why he has a motorcycle though. I guess it works when he has no webbing.

 

[JoeyConQueso]

I kind of doubt that that's like an official spider-cycle rather than something he just grabbed to use at the spur of the moment but I guess we'll see.

I hope it's that at least.

 

[SpideyFan866]

I hope it's that at least.

Agreed. It would be really pointless if it was an official spiderbike.

 

[GamerSlyRatchet]

Agreed. It would be really pointless if it was an official spiderbike.

Funny thing, Weisman once mention he would have introduced the Spidey-Buggy in TSSM around the fourth season.....only to thrash it a couple of episodes later.

Haha, I remember him saying that. That would have been sweet.

Agreed That would have been awesome, lol.

It's not, April fools jokes don't work that way.

Or It's from SHIELD.

Either way,it's nothing to get upset about amd we should wait to learn the context first anyway.

It's better than the Spider-Buggy, that's for sure.

Indeed! The costume for this show looks like any other version of Spidey's classic costume. It looks great! Talk about nitpicky.

Marvel will be publishing a comic for this show in June with Ultimate Spider-Man #1.

Actually, the comic based on the show will be called Ultimate Spider-Man Adventures.

[JoeyConQueso]

These new titles are mouthfuls, especially Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes Adventures.

I'm not too familiar with the assigned pencillers but after browsing their stuff, it looks like the books should have some high quality art.

By, hope!! See you come, ASM...hopefully.

Seriously, that looks horrible. Well, not horrible. It looks insanely cheesy and generic. I'll still see the first episode but my hopes are crushed.

 

[RealIrOnMaN]

So much for "Marvel DNA", lol) It won't be as half as good as the Spectacular Spidey. Kiddie show is so kiddie.

 

[craigdbfan]

Can't wait for this show.

 

[socool]

Can't wait for this show.

Yep, Frog Thor and all...

 

[RealIrOnMaN]

Spider-Man is not a team player. He's a lone wolf & that's why the 90's series & TSSM worked so damn well. It's a shame, that a legendary & smart guy like Paul Dini has to work with the hacks like Jeph Loeb. Sigh...

 

[craigdbfan]

Yep, Frog Thor and all...

Looking forward to Chibi Toast Spidey myself but Thor Toad looks pretty damn fun as well.

April 1st needs to get here.
