    Sadly, i just got intro to this show through netflix. 
     
    Good story. Good action. Aproximate power levels were right. Maybe the best version of Rhino i saw on TV. Voice of Bender all over that thing. 
     
    It was good stuff. 
     
    Sad to see it is with us no more.

    I'll admit I was stumped at the Goblins identity, good job on Greg Weismans part, now he is pumping out pure win with Young Justice!!

    It was a step in the wrong direction. Comic cartoons need to be more serious, not more light-hearted "fun." 
     
    GIVE ME THE DCAU BACK!
     
    But Young Justice is certainly going in the right direction. Sorry, Marvel, but it seems DC will continue to win in the animation department.

    Spectacular spidey actually did seem pretty serious in comparison to most of what Marvel puts on for cartoons. Spidey was cracking jokes, but of course, that's what he does! At least they had good action.  
     
    This makes me think of earth's mightiest heros. that's a pretty good show too, but there is a bit too much pontificating super villain in that. Remember Graviton's lengthy diatribes about how awesome it is to be graviton? 
     
    haha.

    Agreed, why does Marvel operate under the assumption that 80% of their fans are 12, It could be a ploy to get kids to read comics....lets be honest though....whats more likely to inspire comic readers, Batman TAS or Super Hero Squad

    It's really funny. During the 90s, Marvel had Spider-Man, X-Men TAS, etc. DC had Batman TAS.
     
    'Nuff said.
     
    Now Marvel has Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Super Hero squad. DC has Young Justice.

    LOL. even though FF is really a kiddie cartoon, I love it....something about it, the humor....I don't know
     
    Their Hulk vs DTV was a step in the right direction, Planet Hulk wasn't even entirely bad, But then they made Thor Tales of Asgard....I have friends that are hardcore Thor fans that think that movie is horrendous....even for a 12 year olds standards

    Both feel too kiddy for me.
     
    I want stuff like Batman TAS, Justice League (and Unlimited), Batman Beyond, etc. And now DC is winning in the game department with Arkham Asylum and Arkham City.
     
    Better step up your game, Marvel.

    I liked that show, though... My only complaint was the character designs. The fights were pretty epic, the plots were well carried out (Especially in the finale when Spidey has the last showdown with the Green Goblin),  and Josh Keaton became my new favorite Spider-man voice actor through that show.

    Great show! Like some has some in the earlier, the stories and action was great, good approximation of powers used and best of all, it shows Spidey using his head and making good decisions.  The 90's version was good but a bit melodramatic, but this one was all around fun to watch.

    The main reason why I liked this show is that writing and plots did more justice to spider-man than any of the former shows and hell even the movies.

    actually john dimaggio (aka voice of bender) voiced sandman, not Rhino 
     
    Rhino was voiced by Clancy Brown aka Voice of Mr.Krabs

    I thought World War Hulk was terrific:  one of Marvel's better jobs.  I read that they are bringing Mockingbird and Jessica Jones to tv?  Why a couple of C-Listers?  I'm well over 10 years old and just can't seem to get into Super Hero Squad...go figure.  I prefer Marvel over DC but in the animation department, Marvel can't compete with DC.  It's got to be because DC knows it's audience better.  AND there videos star their major characters. Earth's Mightiest Heroes is Marvel's strongest cartoon in a while but they don't have any idea on how to use the Hulk, one of my all-time favorites.  
    When are Young Justice and EMH coming back to tv?

    Was it? O_o I thought it was being produced by Marvel <_<
     
    Either way, I'm still looking forward to Ultimate Spider-Man and think it looks like a great cartoon, I just hate the fact like with both Spectacular Spider-Man and Wolverine and the X-Men were both great shows that the fans wanted to see more of only to be disappointment to learn that both shows were canceled instead...

    I don't think it's completely based off of the Ultimate Universe, I know that Nick Fury is black like his Ultimate counterpart but they may more or less be because of the movies. But I believe it's a mixture of mainstream Spidey and Ultimate Spider-Man so I'm sure you'll find something you like. :)

    Agent Coulson is the principal of Peter's school and Peter has an invisible watch with which Nick Fury uses to call him.

    I on the other hand absolutely despise the idea of Spider-man being a SHIELD monkey in training. That's one of my huge problems with Ultimate comics Spidey as well. "OH NO, THE SINISTER SIX! I'LL.... call the super cops!" ..... ugh.

    I personally liked Ultimate Spider-Man simply because I believe his character is at it's best when Peter's a teenager and learning how to be a hero. I like the idea of him being trained by like Captain America and it does make sense that if you have Nicky freakin' Fury's cellphone number and the Sinister Six is knocking at your door you're going to be calling the Ultimates/Avengers :P lol But I get what your saying. Personally I like how they did it in Spectacular with how he had already been Spider-Man for a whole summer and was getting the hang of his powers and suddenly had these random super-villains coming out of the woodworks to kill you and seeing him overcome the odds to beat them. I wouldn't mind Nick Fury popping up every now and then to give Pete the push in the right direction to giving him a little help when needed, but Spider-Man is NOT a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent.

    @War Killer: That's the thing i have a problem with. I grew up on Spider-Man being a solo hero and i've always felt he worked best that way. But now he's basically a SHIELD (who i've never liked BTW) stooge.

    Marvel's did, at any rate. Aside from the Brave and the Bold, DC's cartoons have been primarily adult.

    Loved Spectacular Spider-Man.  I finally gave up on S2 Complete being released and purchased the individual volumes.

    I was pretty sad to see it go. But at the vary least, Josh Keaton is not done with Spidey (nor is Christopher Daniel Barnes). I hope he becomes Marvel's go to guy for Spidey like Steve Blum is for Wolverine.

    I was really sad but after seeing what ultimate spiderman looks like I think I'll be all right.

    i'm super bummed it's gone, i think it was spidey's best cartoon to date.  the new ultimate spider-man show with the manga toaster and drake bell just does not look appealing to me
