Just picked up this on the cheap today, never seen an episode. Is it Spiderverse level webkino or should I have spent the $15 on a bootleg bluray of Amazing Friends on eBay?
What am I in for?

If you like spider-man you're in for the best modern retelling of his high school life with a disappointing cliffhanger ending. If you're not a spider-man fan you're in for a solid action series with some good slice of life drama that of course ends with a cliffhanger ending. Honestly it's one of the best cartoons marvel ever put out, I probably rewatch it yearly on crackle.

>liberties taken with source material
>ugly art style
>good animation
>everyone is a high schooler
>more shipping than a harem manga
>uneven villain quality
>decent overarching plot
All in all it's quite solid, just not the masterpiece people who grew up watching it make it out to be.
Luis Gomez
It's a great show on every front
Nolan Lewis
You’re a lucky bitch, user. Fucking yes, buy it already. If this thread is still alive, give us your reactions.
James Thompson
It’s certainly one of those series that changes things but I found that for every one change I didn’t like there were two that I did. I don’t think the show is perfect but I think it was on its way
Gabriel Price
>is it Spiderverse level
Even better, it's actually good, fantastic even.
Angel Brooks
Nice dubs
Spiderverse obviously has better animation but spectacular has more creative story telling
Brandon Wood
Shortstack Doc Ock
Logan Jackson
TREACHERY!!!!!!
Cameron Hall
Spectacular also adapts the best runs of Spider-Man ever, whereas Spider-Verse adapts some of the worst ones (pretty much the three directly below OMD and Sins Past)
James Richardson
I did buy it, just checking with the Yea Forumsnsensus to make sure it wasn’t overhyped before I cracked it open and can’t return it.
I’m reading the Lee/Romita run for the first time and it’s a lot of fun (not Ditko-level but close) so I hope this show has a similar comfy vibe.
Noah Perry
My scores for today
Blake Robinson
I did not care for Spectacular Spider-Man.
Lucas Morales
>Still no complete DVD sets of Spider-Man TAS from the 90s
It's not fair, lads.
Jace Walker
It's not the masterpiece, but it lives up to most of the hype. Just be a little bit open minded regarding art style (animation more than makes up for it), various changes in origins (most make sense in my opinion) and CW tier love triangles (it actually was in fact on CW channel at some point and mostly true to comics).
Oh, and also Greg Weisman made Osborn his multilayered mastermind who loses and gets shit beaten out of him IRONICALLY. If you aren't familiar with Weisman 1. Gargoyels 2. Young Justice. His Osborn is somewhere in the middle between Xanatos and Luthor.
But bottom line is that if Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes was Marvel's Justice League, Spectacular Spider-Man is definitely Marvel's Batman TAS with very little exaggeration. Fuck, 2008-2012 was peak of Marvel Animation, why did it have to go so wrong.
Cameron Evans
That’s awesome user I wish you luck on your spider journey, I’d like to recommend spider-man and the x-men as a small book to read through after you finish up. Is this your first foray into the webhead?
>It insists upon itself
Jose Collins
I miss this show so much damn it and I hate how Marvel and Disney pretty much have to treat it like a red-headed stepchild because they don't completely own the rights to it. So, it's pretty much rotting in Crackle while most of the older Marvel cartoons will likely make their way to Disney Plus.
Lincoln Price
I dunno the 90s stuff is partially owned by San an I think, it’s the reason we’ve never gotten any proper season releases for that particular cartoon. Though I would love a box set containing all of the 90s cartoons
Carter Lopez
One of my history teachers in high school was a really big fan of this show, I think it's because he was pretty into Spider-Man comics going back a ways though
Daniel Reed
I've been a casual (the dreaded c-word!) Spidey fan since the 90s show was on, and I've read most of the big stories (Ditko run, Superior, Stern/JRJR, Kraven's Last Hunt, anything drawn by Mike Wieringo), but this last year or so, between Zdarsky's stuff, the Romita run, Mantlo's Spectacular run and Spider-Verse/Far From Home, I'm moving from thinking Spidey's good but overrated to actually calling myself a fan. So I figured SSM:TAS was a logical next step.
At what point should I bail on the post-Lee ASM, though? Is Conway pretty solid throughout?
Landon Sullivan
(Oh, and I'm ride or die with Untold Tales. For me, almost nothing measures up to that run.)
Eli Moore
Look at all the fucks I don’t give. They’re literally falling from the sky.
Zachary Sanders
... I was answering somebody who isn't you? So, like, eat shit and stuff?
Easton Jones
Show blew my mind when I first watched it. I kind of like what they did with Tombstone now. Really, the only weird thing to come out of Spectacular is Josh Keaton, who is kind of a meme now.
Finally, when you’re done watching, you can fill the Spectacular-shaped hole in your heart with this: m.youtube.com
>Spectacular Spider-Man is definitely Marvel's Batman TAS
Couldn’t agree more, especially with how close the art style comes to DCAU.
Brandon Torres
>Spiderverse
>webkino
Please kys
Nicholas Phillips
Sorry, but no. I was actually quoting another of those 60’s spider man memes. It’s the one with a clusterfuck of crates falling in the background.
Kevin Walker
Okay? Is mentioning memes a thing now? Anyway, I’m sorry, you are excused from the shit-eating. Go in peace.
Ethan Thompson
I’m too lazy to go look for that specific meme and post it.
Jayden Robinson
Josh Keaton is a meme now?
Dylan Lewis
Well he DID do those Spidey meme videos.
Owen Roberts
Spidey is comsistantly good throughout the 70s and 80s honestly between the three books he eventually gets he doesn’t get truly bad until the 90s when the clone saga gets going
Jordan Jenkins
Carson Cooper
But it was made by sony
not marvel
Ethan Mitchell
Completely? I meant it more in tandem with avengers EMH and Wolverine and the X-men which were its contemporaries at the time. But I suppose you’re right that it was completely a Sony production
Adam Jackson
Yeah for some reason Sony surrendered the rights to make spider-man tv shows (Last I heard it was a chice between keeping the tv rights or the movie rights) and then marvel began producing Spider-man: diet family guy edition
It's sad that keeping the movie rights was a no brainer but honestly if it was up to me I would've scutteled the garfield movies if it ment even just one more season of spectacular
