@4 that alone just shows how cruel this world truly is
@#4: Probably more
I can’t believe this show will have double the amount of episodes that Spectacular Spider-Man had!
Yay, these reviews are back!
My main problem with this show (and I have a lot of them) is how useless Spider-Man is portrayed at being a superhero. He was a more competent superhero in the Lee/Ditko stories when he was just starting out. In this show he comes across as doing a *lot* of dumb things. I know in the Lee/Ditko run he made some bad choices but they they came off as understandable bad choices; plus he learned from them and seemed to be “competent”. I don’t think Spidey has learned anything in this show; he doesn’t seem like he’s improved any since the very first episode.
Plus the spider-friends. Sigh. I know they want a team aspect for this show, but really what they’re saying is that Spider-Man isn’t powerful enough to defeat these villains. For example, when he defeated the Sandman the first time he met him in ASM #4 he must have gotten lucky because it actually took 5 heroes to defeat him in this show.
At this rate the Sinister Six will have to be the Sinister Sixty-Six to be a legitimate threat to the spider-friends (and I know the SS appear in season 2 but I’ve only seen the first 2 episodes of that season so far).
“The awesome Young Justice series and the okay Green Lantern: The Animated Series were apparently canceled due to poor merchandise sales. I guess we live in that world now.”
I know. Sad, isn’t it?
About time
I’d score the episode less
