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

Oh, me and the kid love Spectacular but we can't get around those silver-dollar eyes on the characters and simplistic line art. We always tuned in however.

Weisman surprised me with Young Justice because this is some of the most articulately drawn character designs I've seen in quite awhile. I couldn't believe that this was the same animator/producer.

Well he's said that he and his head animator on spider man went with that style for a specific reason and i think it worked for the show. obviously with young justice set up as a continuation of the justice league, it needed to fit that style a bit more

In no particular order

- Justice League Unlimited

- Batman TAS

- TMNT (2003) also possibly greatest theme ever


- Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes (the way they added so many characters:blessed:, Captain Marvel, Defenders, GOTG, Ronan, etc)


- YOUNG JUSTICE (THAT SECOND SEASON WAS WILDIN OUT GOT DAMN:whoo::whew:)


honorable mention to Justice League, Spectacular Spiderman, Batman Beyond

TBH, I never really watched that show despite hearing nothing but good things about it from others. Also I had no idea that Greg was doing it either. It did have a nice look to it though so no hate there...

Back then I was comparing all animators to Don Bluth and Brad Bird. If you weren't on par with them then you were a pretender IMO.
