Ultimate Spider-Man

[Foggle]

All I know is that the first episode is shit. The writing, voice acting, chibis, cutaway gags... seriously embarrassing to watch.

Marvel should be ashamed of this series. I hope it gets canceled mid-season.

[Foggle]

Okay, less than a minute into the second episode, and I honestly can't watch any more. The cutaway gag with Aunt May was too much for me, and Spidey being portrayed as far weaker than the Avengers not 45 seconds in is just insulting. Officially done with USM. I am physically incapable of continuing now.

Looks like we have a new candidate for a Ludovico Trials in the near future at this rate.

I'm already experiencing it due to morbid curiosity.

I know some people really like it, but I doubt they would argue that it was quality. The show is pretty much all flash and no substance and writing is just not up to handling all that flash.

A shame they had to involve Iron Fist, though. I always wanted to see him properly animated... but not like this.

I'm just waiting for them to introduce Deadpool as a villain and have him voiced by Joe Jonas.

[Spark Of Spirit]

The way they're going, Deadpool would be J. Jonah.

I am now imagining JK Simmons singing Burnin' Up. This is what you people are doing to me. 

[Spark Of Spirit]

This is what Ultimate Spider-Man does.

He should do a duet of it with Mike Tyson.

So I guess we have to wait another 2-4 years to get a new Spidey series... or just read whatever Dan Slott's writing. I don't know.

[Daxdiv]

I feel safer reading the comics now than watching this. That's all I'm going to say.

[Dr. Insomniac]

You know, I've never actually read any Spider-Man comics. I should fix that.

[Peanutbutter]

I've still only seen the first episode. It wasn't flat out terrible to me, but it definitely leaves a lot to be desired. I feel sorry for Jeph Loeb about the pain he still has for his son's death, but looking over records of his work it's obvious he shouldn't be working in comics right now nevermind animation. Yet that idiot Joe Q had to convince him to stay.


I hate to say this, but I have a small bad feeling something bad may happen involving Loeb. I hope I'm wrong, but I don't see how writing homages to his son and his death is in any way effective therapy. Bottom line, I don't blame Jeph Loeb for Ultimate Spider-Man's hangups I blame Joe Q. That man seriously needs to lose his job.

[Spark Of Spirit]

Loeb honestly needs to step away for a while. You can't "work" through grief, it's something that needs to be dealt with directly. Quesada shouldn't have interfered.

But as for USM, I honestly didn't think episode 1 was all that terrible. It wasn't good, but it could have gotten better. But I watched all 5 episodes so far and it actually got worse. That's what took me aback.

[Peanutbutter]

Well, who knows maybe by the end of it's first season it'll pick up. Honestly, just take out the cutaway jokes, narrations and action scene stoppage and there's an average or decent Spider-Man cartoon underneath.
