Why cancel the show?

It is quite obvious. Marvel wanted its own Spider-man so that they could build a cohesive animated universe just like their cinematic universe. they did it by negotiating with Sony and convincing them to relinquish all television rights to Spider-Man, including animation, in exchange for "some concession vis-a-vis the live action Spider-Man features".They also wanted to use Spider-man's popularity (esp. in animation) to promote their second and third rate characters like the way they did with the Marvel Team-Up comics in the 70's. So as the result, Spectacular Spider-Man was canceled unceremoniously to make room for Marvel's new cool Spidey animated series and the fans are left with a kid-friendly Ultimate Spider-man cartoon and a crappy-looking Amazing Spider-Man live action film (thanks to that aforesaid "concession")​
 
Who knows if they are even xdoing that. When all there shows are there own things.

Also who's to say this usm show is going to be just a kiddy show like hero squad. It could be a more serious in tone show like say avengers or even btas/smtas/jl toons where. And have a few cheesy/silly things from time to time.

Also for the film reboot I don't think it is crappy. Looks good so far. Has a good cast on board. And reason reboot happened was due to raimi walking away when the studio was again forcing things onto him.

Seesh everyone has there own oinions on things. I for one don't have much issues with the film and can't wait for it. Just cause of one person opinion isn't what alot of fans think.
 
Ok. But I just don’t want agree with everything those idiots force upon us in the name of a reboot. I mean, can you honestly say that that you like that costume?

And I am sure I don’t want them to think that I am easily entertained because I am a Spider-Man fan. They have to listen to us. If not for us fans, they wouldn't have been in business now​
 
The costume has a lot of room for improvement, but I have yet to see anything that makes me write off the reboot as "going to be bad". I have my reservations, as I think all Raimi Spider-Man fans are going to, but I look forward to giving it a chance. If the movie turns out to suck, believe me, I'll be there to criticize the hell out of it.

Fair enough! ButI just don’t want to be taken as "foolishly optimistic"! I voice my concerns vociferously. And believe me, nothing would make me happier upon this movies release than to find that all my fears and reservation were completely unfounded and that the movie is fantastic. And the same holds true for the Ultimate Spider-Man​

Why “The Amazing Spider-Man” movie is (probably) going to suck:

Wrong thread for this. If you have one for why the USM show will suck, then I will forgive you. :p

And just for the record, I disagree with your second point (AKA You Hate Marc Webb)
 
Sure I wasn't to keen on the costume at first reveal. But I don't hate the suit. Plus I am glad they didn't just cheap out and reuse the raimi suit. As much as I did love the raimi suit. The reboot needed to have a fresh and its own look. Plus I said it since suit came out, it has borrowed elements of the ben reilly spiderman suit. Plus colors are bold and bright and still screams to me spiderman. Heck I even have one of the promotional photos as my background on my cell.
 
They needed to do their own take on the costume, but they could have done a better job than that.

It still really is very sad to know that this show was cancelled. I was VERY VERY much looking foward to a 3rd season. It really was an incredible show.

I wouldn't be so bummed if the show ended with three seasons.Because we would of gotten Hobgoblin,Scorpion,Hydro-Man,etc.
 
It ended exactly when it should have...swiftly.

^I agree. I really do hope Gwen won't be like the Ultimate version, but that's kind of a silly thought since this series is named after "Ultimate Spider-Man." TSSM nailed it right on with Gwen.

We don't even know if Gwen's going to be in this show. I hope she is, but I wouldn't count on it.

Yeah, all we've heard about is Mary Jane so far in it. And with MJ's big role in Ultimate, I hope Gwen is in there as well.
 
I hope she's Gwen with the personality of SSM, but not the same for me at least.
 
I don't like SS-M Gwen. I usually stray from saying "it wasn't like the comics", but in her case she would've been a better character if she had been closer to her comic counterpart.

Have her be an intelligent beauty queen that can mesh with the in-crowd instead of a pure geek.

If they don't do that, I'm fine with the rebel Gwen from US-M. She's at least a sympathetic, interesting character.
 
She will likely show up heck we haven't heard of other supporting folks of the spidey gang and they are bound to show up.

greg weisman said that Gwen was portrayed that way because he wanted to show who he thought she would be before she "blossomed." With more seasons, she would have evolved into comics Gwen. They started to make it happen in season 2 with her makeover

Whatever then. I may have liked her in future seasons, but those never happened.
