I don't like ultimate spider-man..at all. I've tried and tried to give it a chance and every time, i end up disappointed

Well the character has been "Disney-fied" to some degree but as I've stated in previous forums, the art designs are pretty crisp.

Yeah the art design is dope, they just followed Bagley's designs but the show itself is suspect

What's suspect is that Agents of SMASH show.
I love the Hulk but this cartoon is straight
My son won't even watch it and he's a Marvel fanboy.

The Long Halloween's acclaimed success went to his head.
Not everything one touches turns to proverbial gold.
Remember, this is the same dude who was fired from the HEROES tv show.

It doesn't...I'm kinda making it my mission to put this whole board on to the greatness that was spectacular spider man

Yeah I get that alot.

Don't want to go off subject again but I like it, breh.

Great stories and very fluid animation but the art IMO, sucked.

It's the writer in me tho breh lol..the art was fine to me but it's the stories and characterization. I look at cartoons just like any other television show and if the writing is great then it's a great show. the storylines were all dope, the characters were well done, it was poignant, sharp, not afraid to go dark, not afraid to play with mythology and the last episode was incredible. I can deal with average art all day but I can't deal with sucky ass writing

Yeah I can respect that but I'm looking at it from an artist's perspective. So I think we have a little antithesis thing going on with this one.

Being an artist, I'm digesting the designs first, story second.

And that makes sense lol..as a writer, to me, it's about the story first. If you gave me a choice of which spider man series I had to watch for the rest of my life and couldn't watch any other one, it'd be that one easily because it's just the better one conceptually to me even if I like the art style of the 90s one more, I'd much rather watch the 2 seasons of spectacular than the 5 of the 90s one. Greg Weisman just knew what he was doing and to be fair, had more latitude to do certain things and got away with a lot of stuff..not just sexual innuendo, but tying episodes to shakespeare plays, playing with flashbacks, making connections to stuff..and the whole green goblin mystery was pure piff.

But if you're coming at it from an art perspective, I get that. You want it to look a certain way and feel a certain way whereas I just need it to sound a certain way and act a certain way
