Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon

[Power NeXus]

The first two episodes of Disney XD's "Ultimate Spider-Man" have now aired.

And, as the NeXus decrees, discussion of such shalt now commence.



I've only watched the first episode so far, but I'll be honest... I wasn't impressed. I really liked the style of animation, and I like that they're taking Spider-Man in a new direction, but that's about all I'd put in the 'positives' category. It's way more cartoon-y than what I like to see. I mean, Thundra slipping on a plate of Jell-o? Really? I also wasn't a fan of the constant Ferris Bueller cutaways and freezeframes to explain certain things (as if anyone watching the show doesn't already know who Mary Jane is, or what a spider-sense is). And, even aside from that, the writing really isn't good. The fights were full of slapstick moves, and Spider-Man wasn't even funny. He made a lot of jokes, but half of them were just stupid and fell flat.

I'm going to keep following it, because it's a motherflarking Spider-Man show so I'm basically obligated to watch it.
I'm giving the first episode a 4.5 out of 10 though.

I've heard a lot of negatives and only one positive

LOL at crom

On a slightly more serious note (As serious as you can be when drunk that is)
I couldnt get through 5 minutes of the episode i was watching.It was way too fast paced in the sense that they talked too quickly they jumped to different scenes way to often.Not everyone has ADD and i cant watch something like that

And if they made a cartoon about Conan or Hellboy, I'm pretty sure you'd feel obligated to check it out too

Just watched the first 2 episodes. They weren't all that good, but the show seems to be better then the 90's show.
