Hey guys just letting you know this is my very first sponsored post, I'm one step closer to making youtube a full time thing, which means more content !!! As always I want to hear what you guys thought of the series so let me know :D
Super Frame: My only thought that goes on all the time is.... When/will Disney ever put the 90's Spider-Man animated series onto DVD & Blu-Ray? They released every other Spidey animated show i think onto dvd except for the 90's complete series aswell as every 90's Marvel show besides this and The Incredible Hulk. Are they afraid of losing money? Cause i doubt they're gonna lose people from Disney+ even if they buy Marvel animated shows.
This is easily my favorite Spider-Man series this show was my introduction to the character I wouldn't be a fan to this day ever had a bad for the 90s animated series
I was born in 2000 so ofc I didn’t watch this series when it was out bc I grew up off so many reruns of this show on jetix/toondisney and abc family and I had tapes on vhs like this show and watching the rami movies as a kid made me fall in love with spiderman 🤟🏽🤟🏽
agree except for the phyisique. Peter looks nothing like in the comics (maybe the very old ones). Too much of a square jaw for my liking. But yeah, otherwise I love this show
@@evancook2507 yeah I get the idea, but it's too much. It's not like all adults have big squared jaws, so there was no need to make him so Batman/Superman looking.
So much so that they adapted stories from the comics with iconic stories like the Venom Saga, and The Night Gwen Stacy Died this show followed what I call the original Marvel timeline which lasted from 1961 to 2007 ending with the infamous Spider-Man story One More Day Spectacular like BTAS with Batman did it's own thing taking small inspiration from the comics rather then adapting them like the 90s Marvel shows which along with the Marvel vs Capcom games during the 90s adapted the OG Marvel timeline the real one in my opinion.
Marvel spider-man animated series what if spider-man the animated series found the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo in the pictures in July 21,2012. Hope the Marvel spider-man animated series season 6 episode 1 Spiderman Thwip tas Peter found the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo. In the September 19,2016.From the Peter Parker of Spiderman finds the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo. What if spider-man the animated series season 6 to continue in the Disney plus again soon.
I found amazed that Kingpin is the main villans of this series apparently Kingpin was originally supposed to be Spider-man aches nemise before by gone with him begin daredevil instead.
I will say the show does show it's age, but the storytelling isn't diminished because of it. I for one have binged it twice on Disney plus and honestly I may go for a third. I do think spectacular still beats it on all levels. But I respect the old cuz without it we wouldn't have the new.
Fact you are right half the amazing spider-man shows like spectacular and the new animated series took its role on how to handle the character because this show came out
*That was the very first Marvel content I ever saw.* The first arc in the show I saw was the Venom Saga (it's also what made Venom one of my favourite Marvel Villains/Anti-Villains ever).
My favorite line was when the “spider-slayers” kidnapped flash thinking he was the real Spider-Man and then Peter came and one of the kidnappers said “there’s two?”…
One great episode I always remember is when Jonah Jameson had to go and play like a real Journalist/Detective himself. That was a fantastic episode because it showed for all his yellow journalism, Jonah actually could be a real reporter when it's not about taking down Spider-Man. And it's just an amazing episode.
@@IANGEL101I Iirc this show actually justified his hate of Spidey, with him hating masked vigilantes because of past trauma leading to a distrust of anyone who hides their identity. He actually came across reasonable in that regard. While JK Simmons is the most iconic portrayal of Jameson, this show did him better as a character than just humor like Raimi's movies used him.
@@zeroattentiongaming820 Ikr? I would pay a lot to see Simmons going by the more complex stuff of Jameson, financing the creation of supervillains and Spider Slayers against Spidey for the "greater good" and even something akin to the issue where he was blackmailed by Hobgoblin and had to publish all about the Scorpion's creation and his role in it. And I fear that in the MCU they'll still use him just for humor's sake...
This show, along with the first Raimi movie, made me want to BE A SUPERHERO. That's how important this show is to me, and why I have an undying love for it.
Yes I hope in the MCU J Jonah Jameson now his knowledge for Spider-Man is gone can become a real character I love him in the Ramie trilogy (don’t get me wrong) but he was a comic relief character I hope we can see him an actual character in Tom Holland film Something like his solo episode from the animated series or when he teamed up with Spider-Man to get his son back in the alien costume episodes In the Ramie Trilogy he is maybe the best character both ironically and unironically
Marvel spider-man animated series season 5 episode 65 Farewell Spiderman the Madame Web took the Spider-man to the pink wormhole and the Madame Web say to the Spiderman and She say to Spiderman to finds the real Mary Jane Watson in the end of the episode show. And Spiderman say thanks to Madame Web and Spiderman say Amen to that at end of the episode show to see Spiderman chest. Marvel Spiderman animated series season 6 episode 66 Marvel Spiderman animated series season 6 episode 66 in Spiderman tas Whip Peter finds Mary Jane Watson in the youtube in 2016. I hope the Marvel Spiderman animated series season 6 episode 66 in the Disney plus again in the Spiderman to finds the real Mary Jane Watson again.
What I think studios fail to realize, is that Spider-Man is relatable to any age. It just depends on the story-telling, because as a kid when I would watch this series, I never once felt like I wished Spider-Man was a kid like me.
Seeing scarlet spider armor-Spider-Man octo-Spider-Man six arms Spider-Man and actor Spider-Man of our universe gave me a first introduction of the spiderverse
The bulk of my experience with Spider-Man The Animated Series actually doesn't come from having watched it on TV, but rather some VHS tapes and a DVD alongside them. That DVD is The Return Of The Green Goblin, and I still have and watch it. It was also one of my first DVDs.
He may have seem generic, but Animated Series Hobgoblin always worked for me. I like him as a villain for hire as opposed to the mess the character is in the comics. My ideal Hobgoblin would be something akin to DC's Deathstroke.
This is my Spider-Man, every other version of Spider-Man tv show had this as a benchmark. I completely disagree with the narration in the show as this is very similar to what you see in a comic and made it feel authentic
Aye that's what I figured they were going for as well with the constant narration. For better and for worse they were very faithful to the original comics.
I love the fact the writters of This show got Peter talking to himself 24/7 just like he does in the comics. It’s something other shows lack. Peter talking to himself is just as needed as Peter and MJ lol Edit 90s Spider-Man>>> Spectacular Spider-Man
As a kid who had like 4 VHSes of this show, each with multiple story arcs per tape, this show had me from the jump. Seeing Spider-Man get found out. Seeing him team up with Daredevil. That one seen where Norman transitions from repeating the word no several times into the Goblin laugh. So many amazing moments that I’ll treasure forever.
You know, when you consider all the stuff that they had going against them, it's a miracle that people remember this show as fondly as they do, just imagine how good this show would've been if Peter was able to just throw a punch.
I still think it mostly holds up. The animation is dated (duh, it's a show nearing 30 years old), but is visually very clean and appealing with it's character designs. And the quality of the animation is still pretty high compared to other cartoons of the era. The arguably more praised X-Men series from the same time doesn't look nearly as good as this does. The executive censorship is more obvious to the adult eye, which is a bummer. but the storytelling is strong enough that censored violence isn't always noticeable. I love how the show embraces the soap opera tone of the comics. When you get down to it, Spider-Man is a melodramatic soap opera. And I'm not saying that to be dismissive or insulting. There are always big emotions, big reveals - BIG DRAMA BIG ACTION BIG EVERYTHING. This show captures that aspect of the comic perfectly. As a kid the ongoing, serialized stories of this show had me hooked. It felt properly big and epic and engaging and even all these years later I still find the ambition of the storytelling to be impressive for the time period and it can stand up to the more nuanced cartoons of today. Spectacular is the more nuanced show, sure. But I honestly find this one more entertaining. And I can't not read the comics without hearing Barnes in my head. He's kind of my ideal Spider-Man over all of them to be honest.
You touched on something that I mentioned in my comment Spider-Man the animated series was literally a soap-opera for children If you miss one episode you definitely were lost I was so thankful that the X-Men would have the previously on with cyclops's voice to catch up on what happened Also the Spider-Man universe was so connected that all of his supporting characters were pivotal to the main storyline I name-dropped a few in my comment But I just remember one more is rocket racer I recall as a black kid seeing representation like that was such a thrill Specifically because I had never even heard of that character before until watching the TV show Or when they had a three-story saga with the secret warriors, who fought with Captain America and Red skull Or the even better secret wars with the beyonder and Madame web Talk about a Saturday morning where you were glued to the TV and could not wait until next week to find out what happens 😅😅❤
Spider-Man and X-Men did a really great job as shows especially with the sensors and really helped broaden Marvel's appeal. While I prefer the DCAU but having them compete against each other led to some really great TV
@@PeterParker-ff7ub Yea there is a big misconception with the censorship. Jhon semper jr has gone into detail it lots of times. They had no more censorship than other shows on fox like the batman the animated series and xmen.
Unpopular opinion but this was actually my favorite and in my opinion the best spider man cartoon. The tension, the hype, the cliff hangers, the build up, the stakes they were really good
I was literally anticipating this!!! Even though I’m an early 2000s kid, I literally watched this show alongside with Spectacular Spider-Man. Both these shows have massively influenced my love for Spider-Man
Hey early 2000s. I also grew up watching these 90s cartoons. Always feels weird how 90s kids like to seperate themselves from us when we grew up with similar stuff.
You know what's crazy I actually when back to watch that " chase you to the ends of the earth " before watching this video. And to see you plat it here feels like ultimate fan service. and just left a smile on my face
One of the main things that I absolutely loved about this series is how everything was connected very naturally. Of course when most of the superheroes in marvel take place in New York City it is easy to do team-ups However the way the story flow Spider-Man and Peter Parker were both able to team up with Captain America, the X-Men, Daredevil and even the fantastic four His supporting characters also helped the storyline flow naturally Such as the storyline with Felicia Hardy and Michael morbius How that story flowed into him becoming a vampire That story also float and sue her becoming the black cat That also flowed into them teaming up with blade on multiple occasions There were stories that included not only Mary Jane and Aunt May But the crossover episodes with the X-Men and even introducing major comic book story lines like secret wars Or introducing characters from the 1960s Specifically speaking about the 7 secret warriors story arc that got some include Spider-Man and Peter Parker's friend and co-worker Robbie from the newspaper This was just a great show all
I really do liked Spider-Man animated Series from 1994 especially the theme song, but I still wished the writers made one last episode featuring Peter Parker/ Spider Man with Madame Web finding the real Mary Jane and then return to their reality as a proper happy ending instead of leaving the Series as a cliff hanger😒.
I will always hold a special place in my heart for this show as it was my introduction to the character of Spider-Man and his world. It certainly doesn't measure up to the Spectacular Spider-Man but flaws and all, I'll happily take it over anything from Jeph Loeb's tenure as head of Marvel Animation (worst mistake Marvel ever made in my opinion)
For me, this is the definitive series that made me a lifelong Spider-Man fan. Growing up with this along with the X-Men series, Batman the Animated Series, and Batman Beyond defined my childhood into adolescence years. What a time to be alive.
06:00 The over use of inner dialogue and monologue is how Stan Lee scripted the original comics. So it's really true to form, not something to be criticized.
The great thing about this show is how it took major comic arcs and woved them into the shows narrative to make a condensed version. The team-ups were pretty great too; Daredevil, Dr. Strange, X-Men etc. I did miss that in Spectacular.
If they do ever revive this series like they did with the 90s X Men series, here's a idea for it, they could have Flash Thompson become Toxin as a nod to Agent Venom in it.
I recently finished this series so this video was perfect timing. I grew up with show, and I definitely see it's faults but I still love and appreciate this show. The theme song imo is the best Spiderman theme song. The music, the rock n roll, the spider blood are so cool to listen to. The episode Mary Jane evapourated had me in tears. It was really sad seeing her go. As a kid the man spider used to scare me, and it still does even as an adult. Good video looking forward to the next one.
It was a fun show, but the one thing I didn't like about it was Spiderman wasn't a very good fighter. The only episodes I saw him kick ass was when he had the black symbiote suit.
I remember watching this show as a kid but I think I was a little too young to really enjoy it. As an adult I finished it 2 times now. It’s really fast paced and not once did I feel bored. The characters are designed well. I liked how they stretched out on all the classic things Spidey goes through Losing his powers, Venom, black cat, spider-monster And how every villain’s backstory was told, it made villains seem more believable for their actions. It does show its age. I like how Animated Series feels more adult than Spectacular Spider-Man. Less jokes, more regret/what if. It makes the overall scenes more serious/dark. If I were to rate Animated Spideys it would go like. S New Animated series A Animated Series B Spectacular
What’s shocking to me is there is no dvd set of this show. All seasons 1-5 have not been made into DVD’s. The only way to find them is to buy them custom.
I had them years back. I'm from the UK and ordered them from Amazon. Releases in the UK may be different than the US. May be a reason to get Disney+ if you haven't already.
This show has my favorite version of black cat. Which i would later learn wasn't how she normally was. Which was a little unfortunate since i loved how they handled her here. Part of me still wishes they got together in this series.
Honestly, after MJ “died” that’s where the story should’ve gotten. Slowly but surely they get together and by the time MJ “returns” it doesn’t matter anymore, Peter and Felicia have gone thru too much to end their relationship. It would make a great lesson: it’s our experiences that bond us, not always our upbringing.
Agreed. The show married the 6 arm spiderman story with man spider, crazy improved black cats origin and powers, gave chameleon a cooler backstory, and overall did a great job adding emotional stakes in 22 minutes. The whole build up and creation Black Cat was my favorite improvement.
This show truly is great. While I wasn't alive when it first came out, it is one of the first superhero shows I ever watch. To me, this is the DEFINITIVE Spider-Man
That style of constant narration is VERY comic booky. Those were the kinds of lines I used to read when I was a Spider-Man comics fan back in the 1960s.
Every negative you pointed out is why I love this show so much. The self-narrating is a big plus for me. And all of the characters. I just don’t see how one can not like this show.
I grew up with this series. This was my first introduction to Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe in general. I am 25 now and last year I watched it again. I felt the same excitement I did as a little kid. There's really not a higher compliment I can give.
Spiderman the animated series is like Batman the animated series and Spiderman 1967 was like the 60s Batman. This cartoon still one my favorite cartoons from the 90s.
I've been a fan of spiderman since 1964, and have seen every version of him. At each level, 60s, 70's, 90s and finally the modern era,2000 to 2021, I found each one better than the one before. Let's face it, we are Spider fans and no matter what animated version they throw at us, we'll be there!
Growing up this show was my favorite spiderman cartoon, getting older and rewatching I still love this show for what it is but I can admit that spectacular Spider-Man is a phenomenal show and does what spiderman the animated series does well and elevates it and takes to the next level.
I’m still kind of surprised that this series has been rarely referenced in modern cannon. I hope that the rumors about them bringing this into Spiderverse 2 will finally give it the respect that it deserves
I Grew Up With Spider-Man The Animated Series From 1994 And Hope It Get’s Revived For Season 6 And Would Like To See The William Baker Flint Marko The Sandman Make An Appearance
Interesting comparisons to the short-lived Spectacular. While I am a fan of both incarnations, I do suspect if all we had was Spectacular (and let's not even talk about Ultimate) without the 94 series representing the foundation of all that was to follow, the Web Head's animated legacy would be very shallow indeed. 94 (and shows like X-Men TAS, 1992) really built the template for all the successful incarnations that followed. It almost overdid it in every category to make sure nothing was missed, even if it meant trying to cram a year's worth of comic threads into 23-minues of animation. In all of the shows since, Spectacular certainly came the closest to perfection but even then poor ratings on Disney XD and lackluster DVD sales did it in. Interestingly, while this is commonly called "The Animated Series", Marvel, in their wisdom, say the official title is simply Spider-Man so that it can be confused with countless other properties. Spider-Man The Animated Series is however, the official name of the short-lived 2003 CGI series that aired on MTV.
That Osborn~Goblin transition from 13:26 to 13:40 approx cracks me up everytime and it things like that I appreciate about animation in general but especially the world of superheroes
I loved this show as a kid and I still have alot of nostalgia. Kudos for highlighting John Semper Jr. I appreciate his work but I had kinda gotten annoyed with how bitter he had gotten lately. Especially him constantly mad at people criticizing the show and claiming he created the Spider-Verse.
Spectacular spider man was good but unpopular opinion. I like this show better it just resonates with me more despite its network sensors Like a lot of us nineties kids this was my introduction to spider man along with the 1st Sam Ramey movie
I actually liked this more than spectacular Spider-Man I still love spectacular Spider-Man in fact I got the DVD set and I’m still pissed that it got it cancelled (thanks Sony and or Disney) but I grew up with this show and I loved watching it as a kid and I love watching it as an adult on Disney plus hell a lot of Spider-Man stories have been taken from this show here are some examples The Otto Octavius and Peter Parker student and teacher relationship in “dr Octopus armed and dangerous” was used in Spider-Man 2 and in Spider-Man ps4 The 2 part finale paved the way for stuff like the shattered dimensions video game, the spiderverse comics, the critically acclaimed into the spiderverse and no way home (unless they’re only bringing the villains back) The alien costume was used in spectacular Spider-Man, the venom movie and a tiny bit in Spider-Man 3 (they didn’t go to space and the symbiote was obviously shoved in because avi arad said so) The Norman Osborn and green goblin split personality thing seen in enter the green goblin,goblin war and turning point was used in the first Sam raimi movie And as minor as it was Peter losing his powers in Spider-Man 2 was seen in the insidious six episode Also the Spider-Man constantly talking every single second I thought was worse in the 2017 cartoon I seriously was yelling “shut up” at the tv screen because Peter going on about science sh🐬t in the first episode or he’s going on about how he doesn’t want the symbiote to hurt aunt may like dude we get it keep it to yourself it never bothered me here but in the 2017 cartoon it’s kind of annoying
Batman TAS is my favourite animated show but Spider man TAS and Spectacular Spider man coke really close, even tho I like spectacular spider man more I think something the 90s show did better for me is the music
I appreciate the show for being part of my childhood and for taking risks in that they allow Spider-Man to grow up not to keep him stuck in High School like many iterations.
I watched and loved this show as a kid, but it had one very unfortunate downside... I came to think of this older post-high school Spider-Man as what he should be, and it took until seeing Homecoming to realize this. See, for as much as I claimed to love the character, I never got as into any of the movies or TV shows as much as I did this cartoon, and seeing baby-faced teenage Peter dealing with school drama put a big highlight on why. I just don't care for stories about a younger Peter. He can still be fun as Spider-Man, but this was the version I also loved as Peter Parker. At this point, I don't know if there's any chance of that changing, and it's a bit sad considering it older Pete isn't something a lot of people seem interested in using these days. So for that, I will always love this series, warts and all.
Fax man i watched every episode and when we got the season 5 I cried last episode it was so sad like bro I feel I lost apart of me because Stan lee is dead and the good Spider-Man
Spider-man the animated series was my first exposure to the web slinger. Episodes I remember vividly were the venom saga and man-spider episodes, plus the theme song is unforgettable. Even as an adult, I still find myself rewatching the series every now and then,it's still enjoyable despite having not aged well.
I love how he said that they couldn't do Gwen without killing her but than immediately kill off MJ in a similar way . yes i know she isn't dead but they still had her fall off a bridge and be presumed dead
Felicia Hardy is completely different and original to this series mainly because she a Gwen Stacey as in stand in like her appearance her background and her begin Peter first love intesrt up on till she date Michael Mobius and black cat ago ego is different to as she was infect with the soilder scrum instead of begin trained in gymnastics and marital art and magical transform into her black cat persona.
Peter just monologues as an homage to the original comics where Stan Lee filled every panel with them. This show is written in the silver age comic style . Sit and learn my friend sit and learn.

Have you reviewed unlimited Spider-Man I like that one too
Probably the best characterization of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Like, this is pretty fucking accurate more than the majority of other adaptions
agree except for the phyisique. Peter looks nothing like in the comics (maybe the very old ones). Too much of a square jaw for my liking. But yeah, otherwise I love this show
spectacular tho
@@Yarblocosifilitico it’s because he’s an adult
@@evancook2507 yeah I get the idea, but it's too much. It's not like all adults have big squared jaws, so there was no need to make him so Batman/Superman looking.
Peter Parker had a square jaw in the comics guys
The 90s animated series was the series that felt like the most like a comic book.
Why they can’t reboot this into a more update and add more episodes 😂 the other Spider-Man shows don’t hit like this one

Likewise. This was a time of heroes and I always felt inspired
Preach. Heroes used to do that for kids. Miss those days
Fans are still trying to get this series back because we want to see Spiderman and Madame Web find Mary Jane.
If we can get a sequel to the X-men cartoon I’m sure anything is possible now.
Anyone else just love the sound effect they use for the Spider Sense in this show? You really get the feeling that somethings coming.
“Now we’re one. Now you’re gonna pay! We’re poison to you, Spider-Man! That’s why we call ourselves…VENOM!”

Carnage? I like the sound of that
Ok
@@sjahbw Alright
I cannot fathom how people prefer Spectacular Spider-Man's incarnation of Venom over this. It's not close in any way.
RIP Ed Asner. You made J. Jonah entertaining long before J.K. Simmons came around.
Yes I hope in the MCU J Jonah Jameson now his knowledge for Spider-Man is gone can become a real character
I love him in the Ramie trilogy (don’t get me wrong) but he was a comic relief character I hope we can see him an actual character in Tom Holland film
Something like his solo episode from the animated series or when he teamed up with Spider-Man to get his son back in the alien costume episodes
In the Ramie Trilogy he is maybe the best character both ironically and unironically

My ideal Hobgoblin would be something akin to DC's Deathstroke.
Also the fact that they got Mark Hamill to play to voice of hobgoblin was amazing
It also adds some much needed and obvious difference bewtween him and greeny

Little known fact, David Hayter has played the World's Greatest Soldier in two universes (Solid Snake, Captain America).
Madam Spider telling Peter that they're going to go find the real Mary Jane WAS the satisfying conclusion of the series and that story arc.
I love the fact the writters of This show got Peter talking to himself 24/7 just like he does in the comics. It’s something other shows lack. Peter talking to himself is just as needed as Peter and MJ lol
Edit 90s Spider-Man>>> Spectacular Spider-Man
love the last bit bro facts
💯💯💯💯💯💯
Tbh in terms of storytelling and writing it goes to spectacular, but the at least 90s spidey had a great open end to his character arc
To this day when I see the scene where he’s screaming for MJ, I get teary eyed 🥺
As a kid who had like 4 VHSes of this show, each with multiple story arcs per tape, this show had me from the jump. Seeing Spider-Man get found out. Seeing him team up with Daredevil. That one seen where Norman transitions from repeating the word no several times into the Goblin laugh. So many amazing moments that I’ll treasure forever.
Shoutout to this show for tricking us into thinking madame web was a super important character in Peter's life outside this show LOL.
It didnt tell us she was important outside this show
@@PeterParker-ff7ub well the show did treat her as a core character
Right! I was so confused reading the comics while watching the show as a kid. "Where's Madame Web?"
You know, when you consider all the stuff that they had going against them, it's a miracle that people remember this show as fondly as they do, just imagine how good this show would've been if Peter was able to just throw a punch.
From the crossover episodes my favourite was the Daredevil crossover. Imagine if a similar crossover took place in live action.
I still think it mostly holds up. The animation is dated (duh, it's a show nearing 30 years old), but is visually very clean and appealing with it's character designs. And the quality of the animation is still pretty high compared to other cartoons of the era. The arguably more praised X-Men series from the same time doesn't look nearly as good as this does.
The executive censorship is more obvious to the adult eye, which is a bummer. but the storytelling is strong enough that censored violence isn't always noticeable.
I love how the show embraces the soap opera tone of the comics. When you get down to it, Spider-Man is a melodramatic soap opera. And I'm not saying that to be dismissive or insulting.
There are always big emotions, big reveals - BIG DRAMA BIG ACTION BIG EVERYTHING. This show captures that aspect of the comic perfectly.
As a kid the ongoing, serialized stories of this show had me hooked. It felt properly big and epic and engaging and even all these years later I still find the ambition of the storytelling to be impressive for the time period and it can stand up to the more nuanced cartoons of today.
Spectacular is the more nuanced show, sure. But I honestly find this one more entertaining. And I can't not read the comics without hearing Barnes in my head.
He's kind of my ideal Spider-Man over all of them to be honest.
yup I'd watch this show again rather than Spectacular
Spectacular was great and Spider-Man punched people
You touched on something that I mentioned in my comment
Spider-Man the animated series was literally a soap-opera for children
If you miss one episode you definitely were lost
I was so thankful that the X-Men would have the previously on with cyclops's voice to catch up on what happened
Also the Spider-Man universe was so connected that all of his supporting characters were pivotal to the main storyline
I name-dropped a few in my comment
But I just remember one more is rocket racer
I recall as a black kid seeing representation like that was such a thrill
Specifically because I had never even heard of that character before until watching the TV show
Or when they had a three-story saga with the secret warriors, who fought with Captain America and Red skull
Or the even better secret wars with the beyonder and Madame web
Talk about a Saturday morning where you were glued to the TV and could not wait until next week to find out what happens 😅😅❤
@@Johnlindsey289The animation on Spectacular Spider-Man was lame though. The style looks like it's for babies.
Spider-Man and X-Men did a really great job as shows especially with the sensors and really helped broaden Marvel's appeal. While I prefer the DCAU but having them compete against each other led to some really great TV
This show was amazingly put together considering all the limitations on the budget and the massive censorship.
there wasnt massive censorship and it didnt ruin the show
@@PeterParker-ff7ub Yea there is a big misconception with the censorship. Jhon semper jr has gone into detail it lots of times. They had no more censorship than other shows on fox like the batman the animated series and xmen.
Batman showed Batgirl die granted it turned out to be fake
@@PeterParker-ff7ub this show was hugely censored
At least Batman, aeon flux, Simpsons, spawn, the maxx etc got away with stuff
I love the 90s iron man modular armour design it's my favourite look for iron man after extremis and bleeding edge armors
The over the top voice acting alone makes this show top tier in my eyes
It was just right
Get back here shocker SHOCKERRRRRR
One of my childhood classics growing up
The world's favorite adventure superhero Spider-Man the webslinging hero who's captured the hearts of billions of fans across the globe 🌎
65 episodes! As a kid it felt like hundreds. So rewatchable and deep.
Unpopular opinion but this was actually my favorite and in my opinion the best spider man cartoon. The tension, the hype, the cliff hangers, the build up, the stakes they were really good
I agree with you that it's better than overrated Spectacular Spiderman
I agree although I do like Spectacular as well this one is my favorite
Tasm is definitely the best show out there
@@josesarango3408 Spectacular isn't overrated
This is the best Spiderman series ever . I would like verry much to be continued.
I was literally anticipating this!!! Even though I’m an early 2000s kid, I literally watched this show alongside with Spectacular Spider-Man. Both these shows have massively influenced my love for Spider-Man
Hey early 2000s. I also grew up watching these 90s cartoons. Always feels weird how 90s kids like to seperate themselves from us when we grew up with similar stuff.
For me it was spider man the new animated series alongside spectacular and both were airing at the same time.
I saw TAS when it came out but I missed Spectacular at the time and had to download it later. They are both great!
Heavy,watched this at like 8 in ,08
You know what's crazy I actually when back to watch that " chase you to the ends of the earth " before watching this video. And to see you plat it here feels like ultimate fan service. and just left a smile on my face
One of the main things that I absolutely loved about this series is how everything was connected very naturally. Of course when most of the superheroes in marvel take place in New York City it is easy to do team-ups
However the way the story flow Spider-Man and Peter Parker were both able to team up with Captain America, the X-Men, Daredevil and even the fantastic four
His supporting characters also helped the storyline flow naturally
Such as the storyline with Felicia Hardy and Michael morbius
How that story flowed into him becoming a vampire
That story also float and sue her becoming the black cat
That also flowed into them teaming up with blade on multiple occasions
There were stories that included not only Mary Jane and Aunt May
But the crossover episodes with the X-Men and even introducing major comic book story lines like secret wars
Or introducing characters from the 1960s
Specifically speaking about the 7 secret warriors story arc that got some include Spider-Man and Peter Parker's friend and co-worker Robbie from the newspaper
This was just a great show all
Spider-Man the animated series is the best Spider-Man show hangs down.
I really do liked Spider-Man animated Series from 1994 especially the theme song, but I still wished the writers made one last episode featuring Peter Parker/ Spider Man with Madame Web finding the real Mary Jane and then return to their reality as a proper happy ending instead of leaving the Series as a cliff hanger😒.
Also, there is a ride in Universal Orlando Resort based off of this show
I will always hold a special place in my heart for this show as it was my introduction to the character of Spider-Man and his world. It certainly doesn't measure up to the Spectacular Spider-Man but flaws and all, I'll happily take it over anything from Jeph Loeb's tenure as head of Marvel Animation (worst mistake Marvel ever made in my opinion)
Agreed
The night mare is over dude
I know your pain
Venom and Morbius should have their very own spinoff television series starring Hank Azaria and Nick Jameson
For me, this is the definitive series that made me a lifelong Spider-Man fan. Growing up with this along with the X-Men series, Batman the Animated Series, and Batman Beyond defined my childhood into adolescence years. What a time to be alive.
06:00 The over use of inner dialogue and monologue is how Stan Lee scripted the original comics.
So it's really true to form, not something to be criticized.
The great thing about this show is how it took major comic arcs and woved them into the shows narrative to make a condensed version. The team-ups were pretty great too; Daredevil, Dr. Strange, X-Men etc. I did miss that in Spectacular.
If they do ever revive this series like they did with the 90s X Men series, here's a idea for it, they could have Flash Thompson become Toxin as a nod to Agent Venom in it.
I recently finished this series so this video was perfect timing.
I grew up with show, and I definitely see it's faults but I still love and appreciate this show.
The theme song imo is the best Spiderman theme song. The music, the rock n roll, the spider blood are so cool to listen to.
The episode Mary Jane evapourated had me in tears. It was really sad seeing her go.
As a kid the man spider used to scare me, and it still does even as an adult.
Good video looking forward to the next one.
Spider-Man tas and X-Men tas were my introduction to Marvel
It was a fun show, but the one thing I didn't like about it was Spiderman wasn't a very good fighter. The only episodes I saw him kick ass was when he had the black symbiote suit.
Spectacular Spider-Man will always be my favorite, but this series had great moments too!
never understood why nobody tried again the whole Black Cat steals Super Soldier Serum to give herself powers....and snu snu level's of thicc
As a kid born in the late 2000’s I personally think this show is the greatest behind spectacular
I remember watching this show as a kid but I think I was a little too young to really enjoy it. As an adult I finished it 2 times now.
It’s really fast paced and not once did I feel bored.
The characters are designed well.
I liked how they stretched out on all the classic things Spidey goes through
Losing his powers, Venom, black cat, spider-monster
And how every villain’s backstory was told, it made villains seem more believable for their actions.
It does show its age.
I like how Animated Series feels more adult than Spectacular Spider-Man. Less jokes, more regret/what if. It makes the overall scenes more serious/dark. If I were to rate Animated Spideys it would go like.
S New Animated series
A Animated Series
B Spectacular
What’s shocking to me is there is no dvd set of this show. All seasons 1-5 have not been made into DVD’s. The only way to find them is to buy them custom.
I had them years back. I'm from the UK and ordered them from Amazon. Releases in the UK may be different than the US. May be a reason to get Disney+ if you haven't already.
This is and always will be the best Spiderman series
This show has my favorite version of black cat. Which i would later learn wasn't how she normally was. Which was a little unfortunate since i loved how they handled her here. Part of me still wishes they got together in this series.
Honestly, after MJ “died” that’s where the story should’ve gotten. Slowly but surely they get together and by the time MJ “returns” it doesn’t matter anymore, Peter and Felicia have gone thru too much to end their relationship. It would make a great lesson: it’s our experiences that bond us, not always our upbringing.
@@redstealth9683 ya that would have been a nice way to go about it.
Agreed. The show married the 6 arm spiderman story with man spider, crazy improved black cats origin and powers, gave chameleon a cooler backstory, and overall did a great job adding emotional stakes in 22 minutes. The whole build up and creation Black Cat was my favorite improvement.
This show truly is great. While I wasn't alive when it first came out, it is one of the first superhero shows I ever watch. To me, this is the DEFINITIVE Spider-Man
That style of constant narration is VERY comic booky. Those were the kinds of lines I used to read when I was a Spider-Man comics fan back in the 1960s.
Every negative you pointed out is why I love this show so much. The self-narrating is a big plus for me. And all of the characters. I just don’t see how one can not like this show.
I grew up with this series. This was my first introduction to Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe in general. I am 25 now and last year I watched it again. I felt the same excitement I did as a little kid. There's really not a higher compliment I can give.
Spiderman the animated series is like Batman the animated series and Spiderman 1967 was like the 60s Batman. This cartoon still one my favorite cartoons from the 90s.
I always feel like home when I watch an episode
I've been a fan of spiderman since 1964, and have seen every version of him. At each level, 60s, 70's, 90s and finally the modern era,2000 to 2021, I found each one better than the one before. Let's face it, we are Spider fans and no matter what animated version they throw at us, we'll be there!
Growing up this show was my favorite spiderman cartoon, getting older and rewatching I still love this show for what it is but I can admit that spectacular Spider-Man is a phenomenal show and does what spiderman the animated series does well and elevates it and takes to the next level.
Fax I miss it and i cry every time
The animation on Spectacular Spider-Man sucks though.
I’m still kind of surprised that this series has been rarely referenced in modern cannon. I hope that the rumors about them bringing this into Spiderverse 2 will finally give it the respect that it deserves
Spiderman really did succeed in spite of Avi Arad, rather than because of him.
This Spider-man cartoon taught me who Spider-man was as a character. I thought Spider-man was a sinister character before this show
i love the fin action figure desgins
When my friend and I were watching it we both mentioned how much it felt like we were reading an old comic book, I really enjoyed it
For people that are born in late 90’s like me spiderman animated series was great
The thing that always got me about this show, and all other marvel shows from this era, is that everyone has the body of he man.
Probably, to make it more toy-etic. It's easy to make the toys if they all have the same body.
I Grew Up With Spider-Man The Animated Series From 1994 And Hope It Get’s Revived For Season 6 And Would Like To See The William Baker Flint Marko The Sandman Make An Appearance
This show was my childhood!
I LOVE the intro of this video, really well edited!
Back in the 1990s when King Pin was still white and hadn't been race-swapped and then race swapped again back to white. So confusing.
All those explosions made Michael bay hard
Interesting comparisons to the short-lived Spectacular. While I am a fan of both incarnations, I do suspect if all we had was Spectacular (and let's not even talk about Ultimate) without the 94 series representing the foundation of all that was to follow, the Web Head's animated legacy would be very shallow indeed. 94 (and shows like X-Men TAS, 1992) really built the template for all the successful incarnations that followed. It almost overdid it in every category to make sure nothing was missed, even if it meant trying to cram a year's worth of comic threads into 23-minues of animation.
In all of the shows since, Spectacular certainly came the closest to perfection but even then poor ratings on Disney XD and lackluster DVD sales did it in. Interestingly, while this is commonly called "The Animated Series", Marvel, in their wisdom, say the official title is simply Spider-Man so that it can be confused with countless other properties. Spider-Man The Animated Series is however, the official name of the short-lived 2003 CGI series that aired on MTV.
That Osborn~Goblin transition from 13:26 to 13:40 approx cracks me up everytime and it things like that I appreciate about animation in general but especially the world of superheroes
Fun fact spidey wasnt allowed to kick or punch enemies in this show
94's Venom is the best venom. And Hob Goblin.
I loved this show as a kid and I still have alot of nostalgia. Kudos for highlighting John Semper Jr. I appreciate his work but I had kinda gotten annoyed with how bitter he had gotten lately. Especially him constantly mad at people criticizing the show and claiming he created the Spider-Verse.
Spectacular spider man was good but unpopular opinion. I like this show better it just resonates with me more despite its network sensors
Like a lot of us nineties kids this was my introduction to spider man along with the 1st Sam Ramey movie
No movies have lived up to this
I actually liked this more than spectacular Spider-Man I still love spectacular Spider-Man in fact I got the DVD set and I’m still pissed that it got it cancelled (thanks Sony and or Disney) but I grew up with this show and I loved watching it as a kid and I love watching it as an adult on Disney plus hell a lot of Spider-Man stories have been taken from this show here are some examples
The Otto Octavius and Peter Parker student and teacher relationship in “dr Octopus armed and dangerous” was used in Spider-Man 2 and in Spider-Man ps4
The 2 part finale paved the way for stuff like the shattered dimensions video game, the spiderverse comics, the critically acclaimed into the spiderverse and no way home (unless they’re only bringing the villains back)
The alien costume was used in spectacular Spider-Man, the venom movie and a tiny bit in Spider-Man 3 (they didn’t go to space and the symbiote was obviously shoved in because avi arad said so)
The Norman Osborn and green goblin split personality thing seen in enter the green goblin,goblin war and turning point was used in the first Sam raimi movie
And as minor as it was Peter losing his powers in Spider-Man 2 was seen in the insidious six episode
Also the Spider-Man constantly talking every single second I thought was worse in the 2017 cartoon I seriously was yelling “shut up” at the tv screen because Peter going on about science sh🐬t in the first episode or he’s going on about how he doesn’t want the symbiote to hurt aunt may like dude we get it keep it to yourself it never bothered me here but in the 2017 cartoon it’s kind of annoying
I'm excited for this one, when Super Frame uploads you can expect high quality editing and analysis.
2:37 was taken from issue #2 of the Spectacular Spider-Man comic from the 60's.
Batman TAS is my favourite animated show but Spider man TAS and Spectacular Spider man coke really close, even tho I like spectacular spider man more I think something the 90s show did better for me is the music
I appreciate the show for being part of my childhood and for taking risks in that they allow Spider-Man to grow up not to keep him stuck in High School like many iterations.
I love this series. Spider-man is my favorite superhero of all time.
In my home town there wasn't anywhere you could get comics so This was my introduction to Siderman
Man for some reason I remember sandman being in this show
I watched and loved this show as a kid, but it had one very unfortunate downside... I came to think of this older post-high school Spider-Man as what he should be, and it took until seeing Homecoming to realize this. See, for as much as I claimed to love the character, I never got as into any of the movies or TV shows as much as I did this cartoon, and seeing baby-faced teenage Peter dealing with school drama put a big highlight on why. I just don't care for stories about a younger Peter. He can still be fun as Spider-Man, but this was the version I also loved as Peter Parker. At this point, I don't know if there's any chance of that changing, and it's a bit sad considering it older Pete isn't something a lot of people seem interested in using these days. So for that, I will always love this series, warts and all.
Fax man i watched every episode and when we got the season 5 I cried last episode it was so sad like bro I feel
I lost apart of me because Stan lee is dead and the good Spider-Man
I grew up watching this show. I recently re-watched it on Disney + and I have to say I find it just as good now as I did back then it's amazing.
Spider-Man tas will always be better than spectacular because of the body horror, simple.
How was that overacting ? That was perfect 5:20
This was my intro into superheros which is why Spiderman is my favorite hero
Spider-man the animated series was my first exposure to the web slinger. Episodes I remember vividly were the venom saga and man-spider episodes, plus the theme song is unforgettable. Even as an adult, I still find myself rewatching the series every now and then,it's still enjoyable despite having not aged well.
I love how he said that they couldn't do Gwen without killing her but than immediately kill off MJ in a similar way . yes i know she isn't dead but they still had her fall off a bridge and be presumed dead
Felicia Hardy is completely different and original to this series mainly because she a Gwen Stacey as in stand in like her appearance her background and her begin Peter first love intesrt up on till she date Michael Mobius and black cat ago ego is different to as she was infect with the soilder scrum instead of begin trained in gymnastics and marital art and magical transform into her black cat persona.
Peter just monologues as an homage to the original comics where Stan Lee filled every panel with them. This show is written in the silver age comic style . Sit and learn my friend sit and learn.
