1. Animation and MJ are pluses, as is JK As JJ:) ..but it has the feel of Spiderman Unlimited..the short-lived 13 episode debacle that reinvented Spidey in a fairly silly way…look forward to this but will remain guardedly optimistic…

2. This looks visually better than spectacular. THats not to say that spectacular wasnt visually appealing, but you can see the bigger budget for usm has allowed the upped the animation. Even from the glowing NY background and the wider variety of villains, it reminds me how bruce timm’s shows transitioned from batman and superman etc to justice league unlimited quality.

3. in origin of spider-friends stan lee called them teenagers
   In the 60s jonah complains about peter “these teenagers”

4. He was in college in Amazing Friends and I don’t think he went to high school in the 60s cartoon and it wasn’t mentioned so he could’ve just been an adult working for the Bugle.

5. This isn’t the second cartoon to have Spider-Man as a teenager, there was the 60s cartoon, then there was Spider-Man & His Amazing Firends

6. @D.A.V.E.: He’s precedeed by Johnny Storm as a teenage superhero not being a sidekick, and before them there is the first Star Spangled Kid

7. @D.A.V.E.

   For all we know the bike was taken from a civillian? Perhaps some Fury bike on lone to Peter. Maybe its in every single episode, or gets used in a single episode and trashed immediately. Perhaps it even functions to serve the plot and story….. At least lets see a few episodes before all the cynical conspiracy theories are thrown out. I know it’s fun to be cynical for some people, I get that, but then why even engage in any of this stuff. It’s a bloody kids cartoon, toys will be inevitable, bike or no bike. If people buy the bike as a toy, then who would be to blame? I know one thing, if there is a toy of that toaster gag, I’m buying it. Does that make me a mindless gullible consumer or a fan with too much disposable income?

8. @ralph

   It did. But it was not as blatantly obvious and forced as the bike seems to be.

9. Riiiiiiiiiight and Spectacular Spider-Man didn’t have any toys based on that series.

10. I’m not so sure about. As someone else says, looks an awefull lot like a show meant to sell toys :s I mean a bike in a spiderman cartoon? And doesn’t Sipdey have enough bad guys of his own to go into other franchise? I miss Spectacular 🙁

11. looks ok

    but I’m apprehensive because it’s not spectacular spiderman

12. This looks fantastic. Love everything about it.

13. I may actually give this a shot…

14. @ Parabolee: Well all the Spidey cartoons have been when he’s an adult save for the last two (Spec and USM) so two out of eight shows isn’t so bad. It keeps things a bit fresh.

15. Team-ups, MJ, Humor, MJ, Simmons as JJJ, oh, and did i mentioned MJ??? It will be great, but when will it arrive in Germany????

16. Loved the Pete/MJ exchange, always nice to see her portrayed as the love interest she is forever destined to be. They nailed that right. Animation looked slick, really looking forward to this

17. As far as I remember, Paul Dini was hijaced for this show. I’m a big fan of his work…and seeing MJ in Spider-man’s life may just be enough to get me back on board.

18. I really liked this. I’m looking for a fun Spider-Man show and after seeing what Marvel did with Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes, I’m really excited to see what they can do with Spidey. I still think there’s going to be angst and serious parts to it, but adding comedy into a kid’s show isn’t gonna bother me. And I’m excited for the team ups. Spidey has always done well with others and I think that’s something the 90’s Spider-Man and Spectacular Spider-Man lacked.

19. Plus: The voices aren’t horrible…And they did get JK Simmons as Jameson. That’s a BIG plus.
    The animation seems pretty decent.
    Venom looked pretty bad-ass!

    Minus: “The Little Spider-Toaster That Could”…They’re OBVIOUSLY not taking this seriously. 🙁
    I remember the Spider-Mobile (unfortunately)…but when did Spidey pick up the Tron Light-Cycle? My Disney-Senses are tingling! 😉
    “Ultimate Spider-Man”…AKA “Marvel Team-Up: The Animated Series”.

    Final Verdict: M’eh…I’ll check out an episode or two, just to give it a shot…but I’m not expecting much.
    (Besides, “Spectacular Spider-Man” set the bar PRETTY DAMN HIGH, as far as Spidey cartoons…this has a LOT to live up to!)

20. Well Bendis is one of the writers and producers of the show and it’s called Ultimate Spider-Man, so I think it will have quite a bit of resemblence to USM. Good for me, I love USM. I liked what I heard from Bell in those brief moments, sounded good to me. Really love the animation. That’s what a post Disney budget will do as opposed to the Avengers. Really good show with decent animation. You can’t tell much from a minute clip though. Really liked the sewing bit.

21. Gotta say, I didn’t really like it. I don’t like his voice. Sounds slightly annoying, and feels a bit too differently than the comics. :/ Oh well.

22. @6

    But Spidey’s status as the first teenage superhero is one of the main reasons he’s endured for so long as a famous character.

    As for the show, the animation looks gorgeous, but the writing is pretty lame so far. Not too excited about excessive team-ups and gimmicky vehicles, either.

23. Looks good. Hope it bares as little resemblance to the USM comics as possible because I think they suck.

    Not keen on the lack of red down his arms, weird choice.

    Isn’t it about time we got another adult Spidey cartoon, I mean as in one where he is an adult not adult themed. I mean he has been an adult in the comic for all but the first 30 issues, we all know him as an adult outside of those and these cartoons. 90’s animated Spidey for life 🙂

24. It seems like they’ll be focusing more on the fun and less on the angst, so it will be a tad less serious than SSM

25. Liked the animation and how Ultimate Peter looked like Ultimate Peter. I was disappointed in the interaction between Spidey and Venom here. I mean, Venom was trying eat him like Ultimate Venom tis supposed to do, but the way Spidey was talking to Venom makes me think they might not go with the childhood friends route and make him just like 616 Eddie Brock, which disappoints me.

26. Love the humor, the animation and the voice work. Bendis said there will be alot of “30 Rock” in this series.

27. Ugh, can’t help but just see Drake Bell underneath the mask ever since he’s been announced as the voice :/. Still, the series looks promising. Looks like the style’s closer to the art style in the Ultimate Comics version rather than the “regular” Ultimate Spidey series. Still, looks like it could work. The little toast bit reminded me of something I’d see in Teen Titans, which I guess I could dig :D.

28. Not bad but I still miss Spectacular Spider-Man thou.
