Title: Ultimate Spiderman(the animated series)
Post by: HarryTrotter on May 25, 2014, 04:33:42 PM
Anyone watching?Its actually not that bad.A totaly new continuity where Spiderman together with White Tiger,Iron Fist,Power Man and Nova is working for the SHIELD.Nick Fury is still Samuel L Jackson(basicly).It also has apperences from basicly any Marvel charachter you can think of from Thor,Iron Man,Deadpool,Wolverine to Wrecking Crew and Taskmaster.
Seriously give it a shot.

My roommate watches this show.  He's not that much of a comic fan, but he tells me of the things that happen in that show, and they really do cover a lot of material.

He seems to like it enough. I still haven't mustered the strength to actually sit down and watch it.

I think I've seen every episode so far, but more out of habit than anything else. Can't say I'm a fan, but it is my favorite of Marvel's other cartoon...not that saying much. Too goofy and often feels inconsequential. I do like that Clark Gregg voices Coulson and that Stan Lee appears and one episode they did with him had a nice twist. Their version of the Scorpion is interesting, and making Harry Venom is kinda neat.

And the Deadpool episode...

I watch it once in a while with my 4 year old, not really a big fan, but I will say that the Taskmaster episode was kind of interesting, as was the Arcade episode.

Spectacular Spiderman was the best Spidey adaptation hands down.Ultimate has focus more on the overal universe,but its still darn good.Also basicly every Marvel charachter that we like appears at some point.

I will say that I do like seeing Nova in the show. I would prefer seeing Richard Rider, but beggars can't be choosers.

The main reason why I don't watch it is the "teen Titans type anime" they use.  It was ok to see it in Teens Titans, but it seems like it was way over done in the first few episode of Spidey.  Maybe one day I'll go back and give it another shot

The Nova in the show drives me nuts. He's just such an idiot. Oddly I like his comic counterpart.
Really did not enjoy their version of Deadpool. Too wacky and Will Friedle's voice really grated on me.

Everything is done in animesque style these days so we cant complain about it,really.But dont judge it based on that,its actually pretty fun.

I saw the Deadpool episode and no, I can't do it.  As big as a Spidey fan I am, I do not like this show.

I'm gonna get a lot flack for this, but I enjoy Teen Titans Go better than this.

I don't like the humour ... or I'm too old for the age group the humour is targeting ... so I can't really enjoy this show.

I'm not a fan of Avengers Assemble or Agents of SMASH either.
Title: Re: Ultimate Spiderman(the animated series)
Post by: HarryTrotter on June 08, 2014, 02:20:42 PM
Well its not the best Spidey adaptation but it can be fun.
Not more,not less its just fun.

It's passable and I defended it when it first came on because I felt like people were bashing it just because it replaced Spectacular, but after what happened with EMH later on too... I'm not really a fan. The storylines are often childish and they try too hard with the anime reactions, but unlike TTG the animation style is too adult and comic-like for the targeted age group.

Overall it's.... ok. I can sit and watch an episode of USM without banging my head into a wall, which is more than I can say for either of Marvel's other cartoons.

Yes.

Nova is, essentially, Marvel's equivalent of Green Lantern. I'm not THAT familiar with them, but I do know they created Sam for USM and then brought him into the comics at about the same time.

I thought there was something odd with
Nova,I was expecting a whole different
charachter.
XD

There's Nova of the Nova Corps (http://marvel.wikia.com/Richard_Rider_%28Earth-616%29) (there's quite a number of these)

and then there's Nova, the Herald of Galactus (http://marvel.wikia.com/Frankie_Raye_%28Earth-616%29)

Ok we cleared that one.
Any1 liked the episode when Spidey and Wolverine switched bodies?It was hilarious.

I remembered that in the comic, did MJ reference the "thing" WolviePete wanted them to do?

Miles has been cast!
http://www.comicbookresources.com/?page=article&id=55086

I really like Donald Glover, he might sound a tad bit older here, but its cool nonetheless. And the scene in that link plays out very close to its comic book counterpart in Spider-Men. Just fantastic seeing and hearing Miles like that.

Ooooooo! Haven't watched this show yet but I'll be watching that episode for sure!

I watch this on Netflix with my nephew and we both really enjoy it. It's a very funny cartoon, which means I'm sure it'll be canceled by Marvel within two more seasons.

Nice to see Miles Morales in other forms of media. He's a fantastic character.
Title: Re: Ultimate Spiderman(the animated series)
Post by: bat1987 on August 28, 2014, 08:02:45 PM
Started watching this in no small part due to upcoming Miles episode. It's....ok, a bit juvenile at times, but its very watchable nonetheless. Sam Alexander is 10 times more likable in comics. Very annoying character here.

Nowhere near as good as spectacular spidey was, but its watchable like I said.

Decided to pop in again for Season 3, yeah.
They made Scarlet Spider into a throwaway gag for Flash helping Spider-Man, ugh. Ruined Carnage and Venom IMO,  so yeah. I'll probably just pop back in just for the Miles Episode, It feels hypocritical since I'm like, a huge fan of the Teen Titans Series which took LOTS of liberties (Dropped Donna, which I think had to do with a Wonder Woman Embargo Jericho, and a bit minor, but they held off Kid Flash which doesn't really matter since other than the Trigon Arc and his "romance" with Raven, he doesn't do much in the Perez' and Wolman run plus they handled the Trigon Saga very well) they pretty much aged down and modernized Jinx, Mammoth, and Gizmo, plus they dropped Shimmer in favor of original creations like Billy Numerous, then there's Aqualad, the Titans East, Blackfire, Terra, and I'd say Slade plus the overall more modern hip tone change.

Don't get me wrong, I find Ultimate Spidey better than Avengers Assemble, and that joke of a series Hulk Agents of SMASH, but in the end, it feels like they're just running it for the toy revenue, because compared to Spectacular, this show has frequent guest stars, and I mean FREQUENT. In the end I think it's trying to be Batman Brave and the Bold but just lacks that oomph, by oomph, meaning memorable engaging characters.

I just watched the trailer, this might be interesting, I'll have to check it out.

Does anyone know when exactly this airs (California Time)?

And yes, I know that the end of the article displays this:

"Ultimate Spider-Man: Web Warriors" premieres Sunday at 9 a.m. ET/PT on Disney XD.

But that is not what is shown as being scheduled for this morning.
