Trivia

 * The series was originally written to be a soft retelling of Ultimate Spider-Man, but was rewritten to be a soft retelling of the Spider-Man mythos seen in A Puff of Responsibility.
 * Irresponsible was one of the working titles for the co-collaboration series Spider-Man: Power and Responsibility.
 * Unlike in the mainstream comics or in Ultimate Spider-Man, Rhino is depicted as an echo to the Batman villain Bane, specifically his incarnation from Batman: The Animated Series, in that they share some notable similarities;
 * In Batman: The Animated Series, Bane is a Cuban assassin-for-hire who comes to Gotham City in order to fight Batman and Robin for pay by Rupert Thorne. In Irresponsible, Rhino is a Russian mercenary-for-hire who comes to New York City in order to eliminate Spider-Man to collect money from the Kingpin.
 * Unlike in the comics, Rhino uses an unnamed, specialized serum in order to boost his strength. This is a mirror to Venom (not to be confused with the Spider-Man villain of the same name), the drug which grants Bane his enhanced strength.
 * Both characters wish to cripple their enemies by breaking their spines in order to cement their places in the criminal underworld.
 * The universe that the series takes place on is Earth-TRN953.
 * The series is one of the four seen in the crossover event LEGO Spider-Men, being set after the series finale.
 * The music in the opening of the intro is an orchestral cover of Danny Elfman's main theme music from Spider-Man. The specific version used was made by the YouTuber marsarium and can be found here.

Sequels
In addition to the main series, two sequels (a film and a mini-series) were announced. Both are set a few years after the events of the main series, and follow a college-aged Spider-Man as he fights bigger and more serious crimes.

LEGO Spider-Man/Black Cat: The Evil That Men Do
A 6-episode adaptation of the storyline of the same name, this mini-series follows the Black Cat as she returns to New York in order to settle her score with the Kingpin, who has started a city-wide drug cartel and prostitution businesses. She runs into her old flame, Spider-Man, who is investigating the death of a fellow classmate who allegedly died of a cocaine overdose, and teams up with him and the vigilante Daredevil to finally put an end to the Kingpin, once and for all.

LEGO Spider-Man: The Final Chapter
A 11-episode adaptation of the storylines The Clone Saga and The Gathering of Five, Spider-Man encounters a clone of himself, who later names himself Ben Reilly, and goes into retirement in order to focus on raising a child with Mary Jane, leaving Reilly to become the new Spider-Man. However, in a twist of fate, Reilly is kidnapped by Norman Osborn, the original Green Goblin, brought back from the dead as a clone, in order to use as leverage against the original Spider-Man. Now, in the wake of Reilly's sudden death at the Goblin's hands, Spider-Man engages in a final, bitter confrontation with his greatest enemy in the final chapter of the Spider-Man: Irresponsible mythos.

LEGO Spider-Man: Reign
A 14-episode adaptation of the storyline of the same name, a 53-year old Peter Parker, now CEO of Stark Industries in the wake of the death of his old friend Tony Stark, decides to come back out of retirement as Spider-Man in order to combat a massive crime wave in the now corrupted and super hero-deprived New York City. Meanwhile, new villains, like the Vulturess (Alicia Toomes, granddaughter of Adrian Toomes, the original Vulture.), and Hobgoblin II (Daniel Kingsley, son of Roderick Kingsley, the original Hobgoblin.) begin to cause trouble for the elderly web-slinger. All the while, the mayor, enraged at the fact that Spider-Man has returned, begins to release some older villains out of prison to deal with the hero in exchange for their freedom, letting loose villains like the Rhino, Electro, and the Scorpion from jail. Now, with every hand against him, Spider-Man must call upon some old soldiers in order to deal with this oncoming crisis.
