Got to say, I'm not a big fan either. In theory it sounds great, an AU Marvel Earth with re-imagined versions of classic heroes and more grounded stories. Totally up my alley. Not how it turned out though...

Still, Ultimate Spider-Man & X-Men in my opinion were different. They really paved the way for a lot of really cool interpretations of the characters we otherwise could never have gotten on Earth-616. Like the High School stuff that Homecoming used, all came from the 2000s Ultimate stories. Granted they had some misses like the Hulk Green Goblin or the mindless Carnage, but overall it was good and definitely an exception to the normal quality standard set by the other Ultimate Universe titles.
