t's EASILY better than the 90s one and you know my love for spider-man. The animation style is a preference but the actual animation itself, in terms of fluidity of movement, character expressions, and the acrobatics are way beyond the 90s show also. And that's because the 90s show had to reuse a lot of stuff and blew most of its money on its pilot.
And also, Weisman and his lead animator said they went with that style to make for better movement of spider man himself. They tried different styles, including something more in the vein of the 90s show, but it was too blocky and not as crisp and they were limited in articulation and smoothness. And if you watch that show, all of that bears out.
And nah Weisman had plans. He didn't blow anything, trust me. He's written about what he wanted to do for season 3 and beyond and he's open about it on Twitter while also still lamenting he didn't get a chance to finish the show because he wanted to take it to college
