I think that it's... decent. Saying that it's the best thing ever seen in literature would be a lie, but saying that it's the death of writing would... also be a lie. There are things I do like about it, but there are things I don't at the same time.

If I could offer some constructive criticism; 1. You asked me once if I thought that the series should have 13 episodes per season (at the time it had 26), to which I replied yes. A fan-made web series doesn't need to have that many episodes in it's season. Even most television shows don't have that many episodes in each season. Most super hero shows, like Daredevil, only have about 20 episodes at most. If there's one thing that you should take away from Spectacular is the episode count. 13 episodes is perfect in my opinion.

2. Even though you changed a lot of things with this new rewrite... the thing still mirrors Spectacular in many ways. As I've said before, and I'm gonna be honest, basing EVERYTHING off of Ultimate/Spectacular/the movies is getting, well... REALLY, REALLY OLD. Those interpretations of the character and the overall universe are realistic, sure, but that seems to be the trend with almost all things super hero ("cough"cough"Christopher Nolan"cough"cough") and it's as stale as Chewbacca's dried up shit-shards on his ass hair. If anything, you should try and move away from the style and look of Spectacular and try to emulate something else. You claim that you want to build up the supporting cast like Spectacular, here's a better piece of media that builds up the characters even BETTER than Spectacular; SPIDER-MAN LOVES MARY JANE.

3. The scripts are jarring, I'm gonna be honest. I appreciate liberties being taken when it comes to this site and it's pages, but the scripts are AWFUL. Not the scripts themselves, those are fine, top notch writing. But what's awful about them is the fact that they really take away from the person reading the article and then coming to the scripts, which are just a complete change in pace from what the user would normally be reading. I know you said once that you normally would forget about the script if you put into, say, a Word document, but here's an even better idea; POST THE SCRIPTS ON FANFICTION.NET. That place is PERFECT for those scripts to be. They're appropriate in terms of the layout and design, and you can post unfinished documents onto the site and then go back and update them later.

Bottom line, I don't mean to sound like an arrogant asshole nitpicking every single thing you've done, but I think that now's the time where someone comes in and tells you what you COULD, not SHOULD, COULD fix on your property, and what can be done better. I'm telling you this for not just your sake, but for the sake and integrity of the site.

I dunno. Take it as you will.
