Again, haven't seen it.

Ben, I think that you're being way too overly critical of the series, and you have been since the first sneak peeks of it were released. I've seen that you think that just because Spectacular set the bar for how animated television shows based on comic book properties (Which it did, don't get get wrong) should be handled, you tend to believe that everything that comes after should be at that level.

I mean, it's fair to think that, considering that if we got it before, why can't we get it again? The answer is that Spectacular was made in a different time, with more creative people. I think that the new show is Marvel's way of compensating for the fact that neither they nor Sony can continue Spectacular legally. The people behind the new show, admittedly, aren't very creative and only wanted to make the most basic, bare-minimum thing they could think of (Which was take the most recent (and not very good) run of Amazing and combine it with elements from the last show.) and put it on to the screen.

Overall, I think that most of your criticisms are very valid and just, but I think that this is the kind of series you have to simply shut your mind off to enjoy. Not like Ultimate Spider-Man, which tried to be an anime mixed with Teen Titans Go!, but try to use the mindset you would if you were watching, say, The Amazing Spider-Man.

I dunno. IMO, it ain't something to bow down to, but it's better than anything we've gotten in a Spider-Man animated series in 5 years.
