Finally, another Spider-Man video and based on one of my favorite shows! This show means a lot to me, so getting the chance to talk about in it's 30th anniversary is an honor! 2023 was a great year for this channel, so let's start 2024 off with our favorite webslinger!
(I had to cut the intro out cause it was copyrighted)
Intro - 0:00
Season 1 - 1:43
Season 2 - 10:50
Season 3 - 15:56
Season 4 - 24:15
Season 5 - 31:15
Outro - 46:02
I do not own any of the clips or music used in this video.
The Uncle Ben and Spider Carnage moment made me tear up.
I felt a tug at the heartstrings myself
Sick video! Makes me wanna rewatch the entire series again :)
Same 😭😭😭😭😭😭
I think it made everyone tear up. Especially because it had Uncle Ben in the flesh. The only two other moments that come close are Spectacular Spider-Man when Peter fights the Symbiote in his mindscape and gets saved by Uncle Ben, and Ultimate Spider-Man when they team up with Dr. Strange to fight the demon nightmare who defeats Steven Iron Fist before attempting to torture Peter with his greatest loss. Unfortunately Nightmare's attempt to defeat Spidey through Ben Parker backfired. Instead Uncle Ben gave his nephew a confidence boost, and helped him remember that Nightmares only have power if you let them.
Yeah if anything this is why i think that Spider-Man TAS was the Marvel equivalent to Batman TAS only just subtle instead of blunt like the latter.
It really hits hard when a VA has such a genuine, heart breaking scream. Christopher Barnes definitely has one of those. Every time Peter was screaming like when the Mary Jane clone died, it just hits harder than it should, his performance is THAT good.
Idk it always felt a little corny.
The ending to this show was amazing. Him meeting Stan Lee really brings the inner guilt and depression that Peter suffered throughout the series full circle. “For Once I love my life”, was Spider-Man embracing who he was and is something we can all inspire for inner peace and acceptance of who and what we have gone through.
Marvel spider-man animated series season 5 episode farewell Spiderman Madame Web took the Spider-man to the pink wormhole limbo in the end of the episode. What if spider-man found Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo in the pictures in July 21,2012. Spider-man Whip tas Peter finds the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo again. Hope the Marvel spider-man animated series revival changeorg to the Disney plus again soon. Signatures 9,726 Next goal 10,000.
You forgot to mention that Doc Ock was voiced by the late great Efrem Zimbalist Jr., who also voiced Alfred Pennyworth from the DCAU. He even reprised his role in the 2000 video game and the first version of the Universal Studios attraction.
Dope
I had no idea🤯
@@Rucker1980 cool
The theme song still holds up to this date
Im glad someone agrees with me about the ending. Peter's character arc is complete in a way the comics never could.
Throughout this show Peter repeatedly says he hates his life and yet by the finale he has learned to love himself. That is honestly the perfect ending to his character arc
Why you suck
That underwater fight scene between him and the Lizard. THAT was revolutionary animation.
As someone who grew up in the UK. This is my introduction to Spider-Man.
Comics were annoying to collect, you would get 1-4 then none for weeks then 6-8. Every comic book I collected I had gaps.
The cartoons were my real introduction to Spider-man, Batman, xmen, fantastic 4 and iron man. I feel like a lot of kids who grew up in the 90’s might be the same.
I can sorta relate. Not because of regional issues, but age. I LOVED the original Run of the Teen Titans. It was my favorite comic series ever since I received a big creepy trunk of comics from a family friend. The only problem? That original run took place in the 80's, one decade before comic collecting became a fad and all the comics were worthless due to there being so many in circulation. As a result, I could never find any of the books that left me with gaps in knowledge, because I didn't have internet, and my local comic book store employees would look at me like I had a third head when I'd walk in and say: "No thanks, I don't want to read One Piece. Can you point me in the direction of your multi-decade old rare-as-fuck comic books, please? By the way, my budget's ten bucks"
same, cartoons and movies were my introduction
I think the way they changed the symbiote was the most impactful aspect of the show's legacy by far.
Oh definitely, it’s the definitive idea of the symbiote
@@BigFatMonkey9629 To be honest, I kind of prefer the comic book version; kind of. I like the idea that the symbiote was sort of an innocent animal which felt attached to Peter but when he rejected it, it felt betrayed. I think the best portrayal was in The Spectacular Spider-Man cartoon as it struck a good balance.
@@blakemcnamara9105 Both work well, but the original idea is pretty simple but cool, since you can sorta feel bad for the symbiot but also understand why Peter did what he did, kinda adorable how it found a home with Eddie though, the version that makes peter evil works but for a different reason, it is better for horror
Marvel spider-man animated series season 5 episode 13 Farewell Spiderman the Madame Web say you are going to finds the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo again. Then the Spiderman say Amen to that to the Spider dear. What if spider-man the animated series in July 21,2012 when the Spiderman found the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo in the pictures. Now when the Spiderman found the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo again in the floor and lifting the real Mary Jane Watson up. And the Spiderman unmasked to the real Mary Jane Watson in the pink wormhole limbo again. Then when the clone wife of Mary Jane Watson in her hydro girl blue. When the wife of clone Mary Jane Watson in her hydro girl blue before she derezzed and disappear. And the wife of Mary Jane Watson Parker say to please find the real Mary Jane Watson in love and anything and Hydro girl of Mary jane watson parker derezzed and deceased and disappear. And let hope the Marvel spider-man animated series season 6 to continue in the Disney plus again soon to finds the real Mary Jane Watson again in the Disney plus.
Wha' bout their Spidey verse?
Spider-Man: The Animated Series is an important part of media because of how well it established the characters, themes, and stories in ways that were never done before, helping create one of the best iterations of Spider-Man to date.
I really like 90s Spider-Man animated series it was really awesome and tons of fun and basically my childhood growing up in my opinion.
Yeah I like 90s Spider-Man animated series too despite the censorship they were able to tell a mature story with character development and likable characters something that Spectacular Spider-Man didn’t have as much as people say and while Spectacular is a great show it doesn’t outdo Spider-Man TAS or the Raimi trilogy in any way.
We'll never find out what happened
To mary jane.
Stan the man Lee made a cameo on
one episode.
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 i agree that stan lee cameo was amazing
@@nehemiahpouncey3607 i am still pissed off and angry we never got a resolution of peter parker finding mary jane because come on that storyline felt like it was going places and seeing him save her would've open the door the for my girl mayday parker spider-girl the daughter of peter parker and mary jane adapted in that show would've been fantastic in my opinion.
What can I say? It’s my favorite piece of spidey media of all time.
I love it the most these days because it managed to do everything the other animated shows either didn’t or didn’t get to do.
This show was great. People always talk about the "censorship" (which this show didn't have any more than X-Men). No matter how old this series gets, it will always be great. I'm also glad it stayed true to the 60's comics.
As a kid I didn't even notice that they replaced guns with lasers. It just looked cool to me regardless
@@eddiemarin2984 That's what matters.
@eddiemarin2984 I justified it with my own lore. Like oh the police and Shield are supplied by Tony Stark, or something like that.
It's amazing that even though they were censored, they still managed to do justice to a character like Carnage. Still the best portrayal of the character. Censorship pushes these writers to get around it, and they had clever writers on this show.
@@DavidMartinez-ce3lp I prefer cartoon Carnage to the comics. I find him more interesting when the writers have to get around his darker aspects.
Christopher Daniel Barnes and Joshua Keaton are still my favorite Spider-Men, regardless of medium. No other iteration of the character have ever captured the character better than the 90s Animated Series and the criminally underrated "Spectacular Spider-Man".
This show is still my favorite superhero show of all time. The Raimi movies feel like great companions since they took inspiration from the show. Really feels like it was the character from the show brought to life.
This show was one of the best adaptations of Venom. A good reason to hate the wall-crawler, reasoning to become an anti hero by fighting Carnage, and working with Spider-Man.
While Spidey wasn't allowed to punch people, the villains most certainly were, the biggest punch i remember is Smythe punching Kingpin in the gut
Definitely one of the more satisfyingly violent scenes in the show when the newly-cyborged Smythe learns the truth about what Kingpin did to his father. And Landon thinks that mere programming will stop Alistair's vengeful wrath, hah.
Actually, Spider-Man punched:
- Spot
- Green Goblin
- Scorpion
- Chameleon
- Hydroman
- Morbius
- Black Cat (to free himself)
- Smythe (to free himself)
- Alternative Man-Spider
- A lizard arena warrior
- Two guards
Also, when Spider-Man was a Man-Spider, he punched Punisher and Kraven
Literally my favorite Spider-Man series 🔥🙌🏻
Thank you for making this video. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and this was the first well-made Spider-Man cartoon series I watched growing up. I read The Uncanny X-Men & X-Men as a kid while the original X-Men 90s series was on, but didn’t really get into Spidey until the show aired (I was in 6th grade when it first came out on Fox). I got heavy into Spider-Man reading Amazing, Spectacular, The Web Of, Sensational, & what was then known just as Spider-Man comics. I’d leaf through long boxes at the local comic book stores in my hometown (there used to be so many, usually next to arcades) to get the original available prints that the animated series had episodes based on and to this day, in my 40s now… Pete’s my favorite superhero of all time and I have all my old comics from the 80s and 90s. Watching this video brought back so many memories and even a tear to my eye. 😢
This may be a 90s show but I was born in 2000 and this was one of my first introductions into spiderman as well as the 2002 movie I had this show on vhs as a kid and I saw reruns on abc family and jetix I love this show and have watched all the seasons a legit billion times in my life like I’ve probably seen it more than people who watched it when it was on the air I love this show it’s the goat of spiderman cartoons
Same here
_"Power of web shooters! Get real STICKY!"_
All in all, a *fantastic* retrospective of one of _my_ personal favorite Spidey (and 90s era) cartoons (👏)!
To this day this is still my favorite version of Spider-Man, the pacing issues aside, great adaptions of each character.
I loved this cartoon as a kid. It's nice to see you're back to making review videos again too!!👍
I also loved how even though some stuff was ripped straight from comics, the show did change some stuff that actually worked really well
Black Cat is a product of super soldier serum
Kingpin is the big bad mostly
Hydro man was turned from a one note two bit thug to a genuine unhinged stalker (this was my favorite change. Hope comics adapt this again)
They actually were able to fix the clone saga
This was the first time rhe symbiote affected Peter's personality and relationships and made him unhinged, which stuck in the comics ever since
Re-watched it the other year. Amazing. Perfect. Best Spiderman hands down. Enjoyed it more than any other cartoon or movie.
Great video. Haven't watched the 90s series before, but I might see if my boyfriend wants to watch it together at some point. He's a huge spider-man fan 👍
(Edit: I got yelled at for forgetting the hyphen 😅)
You are so lucky that you haven't seen it. I highly recommend it I'm so jealous
Holy crap... I grew up with this show as my introduction to Spider-Man, but I never actually saw the Spider-Carnage arc until today. Even without the experience of watching the whole thing, Uncle Ben showing up instantly brought me to tears.
Well I existed in the 90s. And this has always been MY Spidey. He's buff, he's an adult with a deep voice, he's a bit of a brawler with an irritable temper and a humorous wit, and he's not a skinny dandy-pandy "I'm feeling so much right now" sensitive flower which invariably he has been shown to be in the last decade and a half.
This was hilarious. But, tbf, Spidey in this show also had feelings and had to feel stuff. He was always in reflective thought. But yeah, I get you, it's different though.
I don't know what show you were watching but 90s Spider-Man was one of the most sensitive and emotional versions of the character outside of the comics.
@@teddybeer6206 yes he was, but he was manly as fukk while current Spidey is a flowerchild. 90s Spidey had agency, he went around and he pursued fulfillment in a classically male sense, and accepted consequences even if they weren't of his liking, while modern Spidey is a victim.
@@thestarkknightreturns
Modern Spidey a victim? Spectacular Spider-Man wasn't a victim. He did all he could to fix his mistakes and took accountability for his actions.
90s Spidey whined a whole lot too.
Another extreme nostalgic.
@@teddybeer6206wrong 90s spider-man was by far. Better. More manly, adults took accountability, wanted to have a life but understood deep down he couldn’t. Even the emotional stuff he did was realistic. Many people doubt themselves with there gifts and responsibilities, and at times need reassurance. Where as your version of spider is some nut lame ass prankster who is borderline a child.
I’ve probably watched this 7x by now within 2 weeks. This is officially my favorite video from all of TH-cam for January!! Bog props!!
You know you are old when there is a segment saying RIP....
Hey, I was the one who requested this video. I just wanted to say thank you. You did a great job!
The show that got me into Spidey growing up, and as we saw made changes in a lot of characters that were so good that the comics and movies adopted them for good. It was also competing with the even more legendary Batman animated series, further cementing its place in history. The crazy meta ending we got was probably better than anything a sixth season could have produced. Easy enough to picture Madame Web just using her powers to reunite the two lost lovers immediately after Spidey's 'long, hard journey'.
Let's go another banger video
My favorite episode has to be when
Stan Lee made a cameo.
Then he got left on the roof.😂
My Glorious King has returned
How has the MCU not incorporated this into their universe?!
Before I even watch this video, I’ll just say that this show was my intro to the superhero genre as a child. Not the comics, not any movies, it was this show. And that alone makes it important to me.
I recently watched Spider-man Unlimited and it's actually pretty good. It's funny seeing elements we're now familiar with from the MCU such as Spideys nano suit, Counter Earth, High Evolutionary etc. It's got a great comic book art style too.
Awesome video man, this show deserves so much love. It's criminal that Christopher Daniel Barnes wasn't a main stay Spidey voice actor after his performance in this show.
Man I always assumed that the relationship of Otto and Peter was in the comics, but know that this is where it comes from is awesome, also the Symbiote story and effects on Peter for years I assume was something originated in the comics, but is nice to see many of these ideas comes from this show.........I really hope Beyond the Spiderverse have some homage for this show....I felt Spectacular have take the place this show actually deserved as one of the most influential story on Spiderman media.
Been waiting for this keep it up man 👍
I really like your reviews man. Keep it up!
THE GOAT HAS RETURNED
The GOAT is back !!!😆
Rest is peace Stan Lee and Joan Lee, both are are what you said True Believer.
Spider-Man: The Animated Series is not only important, but it is quite possibly on my honest opinion a more essential blueprint to writing Spider-Man than even how the comics have turned out to be, it knows that went is reaches boundaries, it halts before it ends up like what has been happening to 616 but doesn't restrict itself to strongly on other ideas either.
Season 5 was kind of a mess tbh but a happy ending all in all. I hear they are doing an X-Men reboot so Spidey needs one too. We need to see him find his Mary Jane.
Also what happened to Venom and Carnage? We need more Venom and Carnage as they are without a doubt Spider-Mans greatest foes.
Nice review good job 👏 👍
I remember watching this on my VHS as a kid. Their take on the Symbiote and venom was very close to the comics
This will always be my favorite spiderman cartoon.
The 90s series was one of my favourites to watch as a kid and pretty much introduced me to Spider-Man. This is the definitive animated adaptation of the web slinger alongside Spectacular Spider-Man.
This Spider-Man was also my introduction to him and his character. Man, this video essay brought back some happy memories which was left behind. As a art and film student I learn a lot from this video as well. The presentation was spot on. And the ending was just too funny. Let's agree that Spider-Man unlimited never happened. Agree?
23:44 I love how Norman uses his super strength in order to make Peter realize that he knows his secret identity
I love your Marvel videos
I'm so glad to see this show getting love again
The best spiderman cartoon 90s ❤❤❤
it is really the first major intro to comics for a lot of kids because the reason I got excited for the mcu was because of knowing them through Spider- Man
This was my first introduction to super heros
Really hoping he shows up in beyond the Spider verse
Spider Man TAS is indeed, a great show that I am glad I got a VHS of as a kid. Granted, said VHS was lost to time, but I still remember the 4 episodes (Framed, The Man Without Fear, The Ultimate Slayer, and Tombstone) that were on it quite vividly.
This video has a lot of hilarious edits. And I dig it. Also I grew up on this show which probably tells you how much it means to me. Lol
I did not know that Christopher Daniel Barnes was a hardcore Spider-Man fan. Thanks for enlightening me with that info, and that he continued doing Spider-Man roles in other incarnations of the franchise at any chances he got.
I miss this show, the writing and voice acting was on point! Still pissed we never got that conclusive ending...
This was a GREAT breakdown! Thanks!!
Jim Cummings, the og voice of Darkwing Duck and Hondo Ohnaka, voiced Shocker in the show too.
This is absolutely amazing keep up the great work can’t wait to see more 🔥!
"Revenge of the Draculas ego" was perfectly delivered by Barnes😂
I saw this show every Saturday morning when it originally aired. I was a teenager in high school and early college at the time. It was amazing! It really ended before its time. Brilliant writing, great animation, fantastic voice acting, and awesome cameos. This show had it all.
Great video as always dude. This is in my top three favorite adaptations of Spider-Man. Im excited to potentially see you review Spectacular Spider-Man. Ps Morbin time was used amazingly
I just got the 90's X-men and Spider-man shows off ebay. I'm half way through X-men and going to watch Spider-man next. I am really excited to watch these again. The stories really do hold up. They are such great shows.
i remember watching this when they were new when i was a kid. ive fucking loved spiderman ever since
I kind of like that we got Hobgoblin THEN Green Goblin, right down to their comflict later. I think that worked out for the best. I also like Felicia’s character in this show. The distorted voices of the symbiotes easily stand out as the best depictions of them for me and nothing comes close to me. The voices in general really. This is the spidey voice that i think of. Lastly, tbh even here I always found Morbis boring, although I didn’t mind the idea of hm teaming up with Blade and kind of wouldnt have minded a chance for him amd Spidey to have.
Damn , it’s been 20 years for me watching this ,
Thanks for making this ❤
35:21 Remember when this premiered and its still as gut wrenching as it ever was.
dude i love your stuff keep up the good work
FANTASTIC WORK!!! sub earned
This is what made me a Spider-Man fan to This Day 🥰
This show would be excellent on Blu-ray. Imagine a steelbook with the original cover. You could emboss the logo to add a nice touch.
This video was great….. you took me back to my childhood. Your research was great!
I was 16 when this series came out on television and i can remember the first day it was on on November 19, 1994, watching every episode and all seasons of the series is what made me love spider-man and watched every series since but this one is special to me like Batman TAS and Superman TAS will be. The actors, animation, stories are still the best unlike today with cheap childish garbage animation. My favorite episodes still are the spot, Carnage, Hydro-man, The Prowler, X-men, Blade, Daredevil episode, Secret Wars, final episode and many others. They could do a 5th season today for netflix or something like X-Men 97 that will be coming out and bring back Christopher D Barnes. This series still gets a big 👍👍👍👍.
It’s the same exact thing as the Batman animated series. A lot of the origin stories we know and love came from the cartoons. Like Mr Freeze, Clay Face and introducing Harley Quinn.
This vid really brought me back I loved the show growing up and caught new episodes every Saturday morning on Fox kids! You have a lot of knowledge about the comics as well!
Great video, amazing work
I grew up in the 90s I used to watch the show was my favourite that’s it’s my favourite Spider-Man tv show
Excellent work on this review. I don’t agree with your evaluation of every story arc but I can totally tell that we both strongly appreciate this show. It’s a very special piece of my childhood and it is indeed my favorite interpretation of spider-man. It’s got a lot of depth and great character development. You’re also right about many cool characters and your voice actor tributes are great too. Very good job. I’m so glad I watched this video today and I’m looking forward to seeing plenty more marvel cartoon reviews from you. On a side note I am one of the few people who actually likes the forgotten warriors arc. Maybe it’s just me but for me this story is a hidden treasure.
The animation style was amazing back then
Truly wish you had included the Madam Webb quote at the end of the Stan Lee episode. It gives me chills.
great job dude!
This show was the MCU before the MCU. I loved it and still do.
Excellent video. I love this show.
Great vid!
THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS!!!! Especially towards the end, this absolutely brought back all the feels❤Giving you a WELL DESERVED like and subscribe!
Amazingly crafted review . Can't wait Unlimited. Best luck💥💯
Spectacular Spider-Man is my favorite with this being a close second.
Word.
Awesome video!
Amazing video as always 🎊
Good video! Favorite of mine when I was a kid.
I literally hear Christopher Daniel Barns’s voice in my head when I read Spider-Man comics, such an icon
It was the Time Dilation accelerator. God even after all these years I still remember! Good video
46:54 the fact that this L E G E N D dosen’t appear in ATSV is an actual SIN!
It doesn't matter how many times I hear you say it. I'll never get used to hearing you say Spida-Man, and Peta Packa. 🤪
I have watched this, rewatched it, and watched it again. Then again.
