Ultimate Spiderman(the animated series)

HarryTrotter · 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...

Cyber Burn · May 26, 2014, 03:38:46 AM

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.

HarryTrotter · May 26, 2014, 05:26:07 AM

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.

Cyber Burn · May 26, 2014, 04:27:10 PM

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

HarryTrotter · May 26, 2014, 04:54:28 PM

But Deadpool ...

JeyNyce · May 27, 2014, 02:32:40 AM

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

Podmark · May 27, 2014, 03:50:24 AM

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.

Its a cartoon.They made charachters wackyer so kids would like them.

JeyNyce · June 08, 2014, 12:08:34 PM

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.

trebean · June 08, 2014, 12:45:28 PM

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

HarryTrotter · June 08, 2014, 01:32:55 PM

^Ok,thats your thing.

Starman · June 08, 2014, 02:10:21 PM

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.

HarryTrotter · 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.

Tomato · June 08, 2014, 03:43:47 PM

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.

I do too!

HarryTrotter · June 08, 2014, 05:23:57 PM

Since Im not that into Marvel,can somebody clear something for me?
Isnt there another charachter called Nova,Herald of Galactus?

Yes.

Tomato · June 08, 2014, 05:40:50 PM

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.

HarryTrotter · June 08, 2014, 05:41:33 PM

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

There's Nova of the Nova Corps (there's quite a number of these)

and then there's Nova, the Herald of Galactus

HarryTrotter · June 08, 2014, 05:52:01 PM

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

trebean · June 16, 2014, 02:35:03 PM

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

HarryTrotter · June 16, 2014, 03:24:50 PM

^Kinda,G-rated version.

bat1987 · August 26, 2014, 01:41:37 PM

Miles has been cast!

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!

laughing paradox · August 26, 2014, 08:12:04 PM

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.

bat1987 · 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.
