Was watching a user by the name of Idiotboy257's Spider-Man series and I noticed quite a few of parallels between it and Spectacular.

Grant Watson's old series (which I still highly regard.) also took cues from Spectacular as well, like Osborn being behind the Six (which never came to fruitition but W/E.) and Kingpin being behind Sandman.

The Amazing Lego Spider-Man (which I still call the best Spider-Man stop motion series ever on YouTube.) also mirrored Spectacular to a great extent, what with Osborn and Fisk playing a part in one way or another (often being the ones most directly responsible for.) the majority of the series' villains (exeptions with Electro, the Scorpion, Doc Ock, Hydro-Man, Venom, and the Lizard.). Even though darkspidey34 has said before that most of the earliest inspiration came from Ultimate Spider-Man, the parallels are still there for me.

Let's also not forget about the series which was spawned directly out of Spectacular as well. Goes without saying why.

Most of the more modern LEGO Spider-Man series' have taken the most elements from the movies because of their widespread recognition, but the earlier ones (circa 2007-2009.), I've noticed, borrowed much from Spectacular. More than likely because it was the newest Spider-Man show at the time, but it was amazing and highly influential in it's run.
