Poll: Spider-Man Cartoons

[Diddy_Mao]

Spectacular Spider-Man is the closest thing to a perfect Spider-Man cartoon I've ever seen.

It's funny, it has an amazingly catchy theme song and the art style is original and creative. But the main reason I love it is that they actually bothered to develop the characters over the course of the show to the point where I actually care about them.

Here's a perfect example.

I hate Venom. "Evil Twin" is the laziest antagonist hook ever made and I will never understand his appeal in most incarnations of the character.

That being said, Spectacular Spider-Man did an amazing job at developing the relationship between Eddie Brock and Peter Parker. Brock's rapidly deteriorating respect and friendship with Parker alongside the time spent exploring the Symbiote and it's relationship with Parker/Spider-Man means that when the time comes for Venom to actually make an appearance it actually has a degree of emotional gravity to it.

For a change Venom isn't just a scary alien monster with a hard on for killing. He's almost quite literally the physical manifestation of the consequences to Spider-Man's actions throughout the series and I absolutely love that.

Spectacular Spider-Man is my fav, I've managed to watch a bit of each in recent years and this was the only one that was consistently good.

In tha same regard I have for Batman: TAS (Who went on to create Big O), Spiderman: TAS remains my number one out of the lot.

I trolled the poll and voted Spider-Man & His Amazing Friends.

"I know, I'll make an ice-toboggan!"

God that show was so pants-on-head retarded.

You got to check out Marvel Mash-Up on Disney XD

It's sort of like an abridged series

Is the Ice King doing Green Goblin's voice?!

As much as I like the Spider-Man comics and the movies directed by Sam Raimi (I haven't seen Amazing Spider-Man yet), I find the 90's animated series abit overrated.

I think the 90's Spider-Man series was badly bogged down by more-excessive-than-usual censorship and suffered for it.

Honestly, I've never been into super heroes. I just thought that this needed to be posted.
However, the Ultimate Spiderman video game is the best Spiderman game ever

I liked Spectacular because I felt like it was kind of fun without being TOO kid friendly...unlike the new Spider-Man cartoon. (Which...I take as kind of an insult, but not because I'm a fan, but because I know if I was eight I would frickin hate it's forced humor)

I think I loved the 90's Spider-Man series because it was VERY well balanced in terms of humor and tone.

I watched The Animated Series as a kid, and revisited on a fairly recent "How do they stand up today" binge (see also, my "do something else during my fuck-awful grinding during this online RPG", pulling triple duty as a "clear signs you need to stop playing a game" binge), and it's alright. It's dumb, cheesy fun, and at times it's legitimately decent, like parts of the symbiote plot line.

I haven't watched either of the others, and have no plans to, even though I like Spider-Man; I've outgrown cartoons. Actually, let me rephrase that before some nerd gets uppity: I've outgrown the will to watch cartoons.

Now they can get uppity because I called them a nerd.

Today's amusingly appropriate captcha: "let go"

Yep, that's Tom Kenny.

I would have to go with Spectacular, just because it's the closest realization of my image of Spider-Man in any media that I've ever seen (not including comics).
