Took some liberty with the story, and due to censoring, almost no violence.
But otherwise, it's peak Marvel animated adaptation.
Jayden Perez
It's better than any of the movies, and really only Spectacular rivals it as a decent modern Spidey toon.
The problems it has are in the production aspect.
Jayden Hernandez
One of the few adaptations where spider-man is spider-MAN.
Luke Jenkins
Best superhero cartoon
Andrew Robinson
Part of it is nostalgia. The animation can be bad in places. But its strengths are a solid Spider-Man and good depiction of his bad guys. And the huge story arcs going on whole seasons were really fun. Great guest stars too. Maybe it doesn't nail the everyday life like Spectacular Spider-Man. Between it and X-Men it is the best part of 90s cartoons.
Incredible Hulk started dark then did a 180. Fantastic Four was really cheesy bad in places. Iron Man had the worst plot and animation. Silver Surfer cartoon was alright but ended abruptly.
Wyatt Bell
>Got kino arcs
John Parker
It was a good superhero cartoon but an excellent horror cartoon.
Dylan Hill
It was fine for its era, but expect a lot of recycled animation. The inner monologue idea was a pretty cool take and very comic booky. It was also nice to have a Spider-Man cartoon where he's an ADULT for the whole story, unlike today, where he must forever be a fucking high school kid.

Yes, not great but damn good.
Like Bat TAS with Mr Freeze it chose 1 specific character to genuinely improve upon the comic version.
Alistair Smythe.
Comic version was just a generic evil scientist out for revenge for his generic evil scientist dad and having a petty tyrant workshop in his lab killing defenseless scientist he forced to work for him while they are chained to chairs.
TAS was much more sympathetic. His dad was a genuinely decent person who appeared to be killed while pressured into doing questionable stuff (capturing spider-man) in order to get funding to help Alistair with his disability by Osborn & secretly Kingpin behind Norman.
Alistair then works for Kingpin to get Revenge on Osborn, JJJ & Spider-Man who he feels caused the death of his dad.
The transformation into the Ultimate Slayer is eventually forced onto him (unlike the comics) when he tries to do the right thing and betray the Kingpin.
His father is revealed to be alive and so his quest for revenge is over but his dad is still in a coma and so he still is pushed to desperate criminal measures to save Spencer.

If only the pacing wasn’t so fast.
Caleb Harris
it was okay but i always had an issue with it i think the pacing was awful
Ian Green
At the time, yeah, but it has aged like milk.
Leo Lopez
Holy fuck that cgi
Grayson Robinson
>College Peter has to deal with real world problems
>serialized story that's fast paced and doesn't blueball you with a mystery box like cartoons do now
>frequent status quo changes
>plays with lore in exciting ways
It's fantastic.
Cameron Perez
Why did they give Felicia Hardy/Black Cat powers?
Wyatt Scott
How's its sequel series?
Alexander Green
If you accept some recycled animation and some really corny acting/dialogue it's pretty damn good. Both this and Batman: TAS really helped break the mold on how ambition a network kids cartoon could flex.
Christian Bailey
Basically they adapted Adam Warlock's original story of being on a parallel earth where animals evolved and dominated over humans.
Theme song is amazing though, far better than Batman Beyond's

spiderman more like spiderchad
Cooper Lopez
Good lord, when Parker is angry, he’s fucking PISSED. Love the overacting in that voice.
Robert Hughes
YOU'LL PAY NORMAN!! YOU'LL PAY!!
Parker Watson
I was so hyped for some parts as a kid, like when many characters were transported to another world by Madam Web's master. Too bad all of it was a letdown.
Sebastian Lewis
Has the most superior Spidey voice.
Zachary Price
I remember only seeing the first episode from a Spiderman marathon VHS my dad made for me, and thinking it was the coolest shit ever. But they never played it, never marketed it. Real bullshit.
Luis James
I mean he really put emotion into this scene
Anthony Howard
Beyond's was a copycat of Rob Zombie's More Human Than Human. Unlimited is my favorite Spidey theme.
Dylan Walker
I didn't like the idea of the entire series being based on Planet Furry
I think it could have been really cool if it was a show with Peter having new experiences every three episodes or some shit but that's just me. High Evolutionary and Wundagore always turn me off.
The show had a great style, great intro, great VA, the new suit was badass, etc but I had too much Counter-Earth. The pilot is still a pretty cool episode.
Fox Kids was pretty weird that period (NASCAR Racers, Beast Machines, Unlimited, Avengers UTS, Cramp Twins, Sherlock Holmes in the 22nd Century, Space Goofs). Escaflowne and Cybersix felt out of place. None of it had the hype anymore.
Noah Morris
The writers or Kingpin?
Jonathan Williams
It has plenty of quirks due to censoring and lower budgets, but overall it's pretty great and covered a lot of storylines from the comics.
Can't wait for the upcoming Marvel Legends figures from the show, even if we're just getting a couple so far
