I agree that the Six lineup is questionable at best, but hey, remember that the suits are the ones controlling the show, and they don't understand, neither do they give a damn, about comic book lore.

As I've said in the past, would you rather this or more Ultimate (Spectacular and it's creative team are out of the question for various reasons.)? You can argue that Ultimate was at least colorful and humorous, but that's just the problem; it was too colorful and humorous (breaking the 4th wall, those weird and obnoxious chibi sections, straying more towards the 616 comics as opposed to the material in which the series was based on, etc.). Spectacular was colorful and humorous, but not to the point where it degraded the show's quality. I personally feel as though the current series is kind of in the middle of both Spectacular and Ultimate; a somewhat goofy attempt at adapting both classic and modern elements of the source material in which it's based on (the Ultimate aspect.), but doesn't overdo the comedy and ridiculousness to the point where it's simply unappealing (the Spectacular aspect.).

I do find it irritating that, in spite of being the most popular version of the character, Kingsley has not been portrayed as the Hobgoblin yet. However, a part of me feels that as the show gets deeper into it's seasons, the Kingsley Hobgoblin will appear as a successor to Harry and Norman (the latter of which I also find to be an interesting choice and I am curious to see how it will play out.).
