Fusion X. Denver Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 [img]http://media.comicbookmovie.com/images/users/uploads/18830/ultimatespidermandxd.jpg[/img] This is currently airing on DisneyXD as of April 1, 2012. The show starts with Spider-Man doing his thing one year after getting his powers. Nick Fury, Director of S.H.I.E.L.D, approaches him and offers to train him so he can be a better super hero and become the [i]Ultimate[/i] Spider-Man. I hope this fares better than Spectacular Spider-Man did. It's certainly entertaining, the action's pretty good (not as good as Spectacular though) and it's got a pretty solid sense of humor. It feels very reminiscent of shows like Teen Titans, Family Guy and even Saved by the Bell in the way it handles its gags and one-liners. Some might complain it's too cartoony and that this isn't the same Spider-Man we're used to, but I'm a pretty big Spidey fan and I'm definitely going to follow this week by week. My only complaint would be the occasional campy moments, but they didn't detract too much from the overall experience. What do you guys think of the new Spidey?

Vairocana Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Spiderman's always been kind of campy with a humorous undertone, imo. It certainly has its serious moments, but Parker does love to crack his one liners. So does this have any relation to the Marvel's Ultimate universe? I haven't seen the show, but I am currently working through the 90's Spiderman on netflix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] In some ways yes, others no. Spider-Man was supervised by SHIELD in the comics, but wasn't directly trained until some of the last issues and that was quickly overshadowed by the bigger predicament that shortly followed. And he's had his team-ups, but he never worked on a team like how he's apparently doing in the show. Some of the character designs are different from the comics as well, but that doesn't mean it's a bad thing. Basically, the show's focusing a lot more on his interaction with SHIELD than it did in the comics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shradow Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 I didn't think I'd enjoy it since I never really enjoyed any Marvel cartoons in particular, but this is pretty good. I like the humor. And Drake Bell as Peter Parker made me chuckle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 3, 2012 Report Share Posted April 3, 2012 Didn't Cartoon Network already come up with the character White Tiger, and wasn't it male? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Actually, White Tiger was an original Marvel comic in the 1970s and was one of the first Hispanic superheroes named Hector Ayala. His run eventually ended and he became a side character in the Peter Parker, Spectacular Spider-Man comics until he ended his career and went on to teaching homeless people how to read/write and stuff as he traveled. Have no idea why they made him a girl here though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted April 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2012 If anything, Punisher and Daredevil will probably appear together since Spider-Man met both of them at the same time in the Ultimate Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paste Pot Pete is the villain because: a. He sucks. Spidey needs to show his skills before Doc Ock or someone else comes in and kicks the crap out of him b. It lets us know the show'll be drawing from the resource material to use even the most obscure villains like Petey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First Avenger Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I'm trying to be open-minded about this new series, but I prefer [i]The Spectacular Spider-man [/i]animated series! I feel that they shouldn't have brought in the other superheroes so soon. I was hoping to see more of teenage Peter Parker balancing superhero business and school life(like the comics). But I appreciate Marvel for trying to make this series different from mainstream. The whole concept of Venom was interesting, imo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
~/Coolio Prime\~ Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 It's honestly pretty painful to watch this after Spectacular got cancelled and compare the quality of the two. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Astro Dude Posted April 22, 2012 Report Share Posted April 22, 2012 It's like a mix of the action of Avengers combined with the hilarity of Super Hero Squad with a hint of Wolverine and the X-Men for animation.

Flame Dragon Posted May 13, 2012 Report Share Posted May 13, 2012 I've only watched the first couple episodes and I'm not that big a fan of it. I think they are showing Spiderman as to incompetent and making to many jokes. As said by TC, it has a Family Guy feel at times, and while it works for them it doesn't work here. Still, its only the first two eps so it might get better. Also part of this also might be me missing Spectacular Spider-Man and thinking just how AMAZING that was. Just finished the 2nd season and I'm just like, I left with THIS now?!?!?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
