The only truly bad season was 4. 1, 2, 3, and 5 were pretty good.
>>151340846Season 2 's ovearching plot was pretty bad. And season 5 went too big too fast desu.
>>151340846I still read Spidey in this voice.
>>1513408464 had Black Cat. TAS peaked at S1-2. S3-4 are about the same, step below the first two. I don't even remember 5 much. Still it's the best animated SM, period.
>>151341599It had the worst take on black cat in terms of actually being an adaptation desu. She was hot, but literally black cat in name only atp.
>>151341529Same
>>151341529He's one of the three best spidey vioces for me.
>>151341599It was pretty ass despite having tall cat.
>>151340846Eh... I mean, don't get me wrong, I grew up on this show and I loved it as a kid, I probably wouldn't be a Spider-Man fan without it, but I watched it all the way through several times and unfortunately the quality already starts dipping in the first season. The first few episodes look great and the pacing is reasonable early on, as it went on the animation got worse, relied on recycled clips more and more and the pacing went balls to the walls insane. The thing feels like the scripts were intended for 40 minute episodes and too often it's made worse by a million cuts in an attempt to make the obviously recycled animation seem like they all belong in the same scene. A really bad example of the recycled clips is the Lizard smashing a wall with his tail from the first episode, it's recycled in just about every single Lizard fight regardless of whether or not it makes sense, absolutely absurd.
>>151341501The only truly bad part is the Tablet of Time.
>>1513415994 had the filler Richard Fisk episode to open it which made no sense to follow up Turning Point. The Black Cat episodes are decent but baby Silvermane is pure comedy. The Lizard King sucks. The best episode of this season is the one where Harry becomes the Green Goblin.

>>151344377Nigger I noticed it when I was like 4.
>>151344377I believe most of the blame can be placed on them wanting to do a CG New York for Spider-Man to swing in so it would look real. That definetly ate on the budget for the show hence why they just reused footage as much as possible.
>>151341501S2 was the best one
How would you do a season 6?
>>151342735>>151346393Eh, every other episode being spider-man yelling about his mutation disese, and explcitly not being able to do spider-man stuff cause he's always turning into a giant spider-monster isnt great.The tablet of time stuff is bad, tho the literal detour for blade is also bad.
>>151341599>>151346393Season 3 was the best season of the entire show, Every episode was great with the exception of the Rocket Racer one, but I guess nothing is ever perfect.A large chunk of season 2 is incredibly boring. You can't look me in the eye and say that you cared for Morbius or Silvermane episodes. Also the Hydroman episodes are always terrible, be it season 2 or season 5. Truly terrible character.
>>151346905Hydro-Man episodes are fine and the Morbius episodes grew on me. The Tablet of Time ones are genuinely bad and have bad animation as well.
>>151348115>Hydro-Man episodes are fineHell fucking no. He's a boring villain whose only motivation is being a very annoying simp who makes me cringe with every single line he utters. By far the worst villain of the entire series.
>>151346547You'd need to do>Spider-Man in Victorian London fighting Carnage and finding MJ>The Jackal and the Clone Saga>Norman returning>Venom as the Lethal Protector. I think Carnage should be kept alive after the Jack the Ripper episode so a version of Maximum Carnage could also be adapted>Sandman needs to be introduced, he's the last classic one not introduced>Beetle, Jack-O-Lantern, and Puma to pad out the roster>Flesh out Ned Leeds and introduce Betty Brant>Amazing Friends episode>Mysterio/Dormammu/Ghost Rider episode>The HulkI don't think there were ever adaptations of Spider-Man No More, If This Be My Destiny, or Nobody Can Stop the Juggernaut. I would like to see how those would translate to TAS.I also think it'd be criminal to have Hobgoblin (the real one) never appear again. I would have him at least appear one more time in an adaptation of Goblin at the Gates. A similar story that takes place after Norman escapes from limbo. Jason would be furious Norman is a free man and would threaten to release that he actually helped create the Hobgoblin as well as the Green Goblin (since he doesn't know Norman is the Green Goblin here) and this would lead to his escape and reassume the role of the Hobgoblin once more. Harry can be in the imposter Green Goblin's place and maybe this can be the conclusion of him breaking away from Norman and fully redeeming himself.
>>151348317>Carnage as Jack the RipperI'll be honest here, this always sounded retarded to me.Also X-Men TAS episode Descent makes it that Jack the Ripper was Mr. Sinister's flunky/creation and since both shows are supposedly canon to each other, it creates a very obvious issue.
>>151348397The idea is that he takes the place of Jack the Ripper in some alternate dimension that happens to be in 1888. Sherlock Holmes and other fictional characters would be real people in the setting.I'm not sure how you'd introduce some of the villains. I'd figure The Jackal/Clone Saga would be a loose adaptation and you can have Jackal 'make' Puma and hire Jack-O-Lantern as a random merc to go after Spider-Man. The episodes would all have to tie into each other as well, so not sure where Mysterio/Dormammu/Ghost Rider fits in during what I think would be season that loosely adapts the clone saga.
>>151348317If This Be My Destiny should be an animated movie
>>151340846This show was the GOAT. This show, Batman Beyond, Batman The Animated Series, Justice League Unlimited, and Teen Titans were the GOAT animated superhero shows between 1990 and 2010.
I was frustrated with Neogenic Nightmare and wishing it would end already so the show could go back to doing normal Spider-Man stories where he wasn't losing his powers or turning into a giant spider.Season five was boring. The Six Forgotten Snooze-Fest and Snooze Wars.
Did TMS work on any episodes outside of season? That Hydro Man episode was beautiful.
>>151349703>The Six Forgotten Snooze-Fest This is probably the hottest take I have on Spider-Man TAS, but I really liked that Electro.I mean, he's pretty much an OC who has the nickname and the costume, but the show did a fantastic job of showing how powerful Electro could and should be. The rest of the arc was boring, but the moment Electro gets his powers it becomes sort of enjoyable.
>>151349275True
>>151349747They did every episode, but that was a mistake, because they stretched themselves too thin to do it.
>YOU CAN'T SHOW MORBIUS BITING PEOPLE>Changes it to something even more terrifying
>>151349703My main issue with season 2 is that Morbius is always like 2 steps ahead every episode. Like even Man-Spider fumbles the ball against him.
>>151340846This show was insanely popular, why the fuck did Fox hate it so much?
This might sound out-there, but I would've had Spot's girlfriend become the toonverse version of ShriekIt works in a roundabout way>Comic Shriek was created by exposure to Cloak's power>Comic Spot was an attempt to recreate Cloak's power>So why couldn't exposure to Spot's power also create a version of Shriek?It's not like they didn't go out-there when adapting shit like Calypso or Electro, so why not?
>>151350476Because X-Men was landing Fox in enough heat with the network censors as it was, so Spidey ended up being the scapegoat to vent those frustrations on.
>>151340846I don't remember which season is which except the dimension hopping thing is the final story. I don't like when any of these superhero shows go off the rails with things like other dimensions or outer space or time travel.
>>151350476They didn't?>>151350874Semper said that Spider-Man never throwing a punch was a personal decision he made because he didn't want to teach kids to solve problems with their fists (but shoulder bumping is just fine I guess). Bob Richardson said it was because of the art style and Fox growing more conservative with age.https://dcanimated.com/WF/sections/specials/spidermantas/interviews/interviews/richardson/>Richardson: I think we had a tougher time with BS&P because of the realistic design style that we decided to use for Spider-Man, as opposed to the more stylized Batman series. I was told by BS&P that Batman was a cartoonier show; therefore the restrictions were a little more liberal. Batman was also considered a period piece, because of the style, so they got away with fewer restrictions because it was felt that you were watching something from another era.>In addition, Batman started before an increased sensitivity to violence became more prevalent in children's TV. Also, FOX didn't have the magnifying glass on them like the other three major networks when they first started their big push into children's programming. But, eventually, everyone was affected by that new sensitivity.
>>151351968That's the stupidest excuse ever.
>>151346220That does not explain the retarded ass editing and the shitty adlib dialogue.
They're all bad until Cap shows up
>>151350874>Because X-Men was landing Fox in enough heat with the network censors as it wasThat was Batman TAS actually.
>>151353427The heat was entirely within their heads. Batman was two seasons and The Adventures of Batman and Robin wasn't any more toned down than the first one. There's no rhyme or reason to broadcast standards and practices, just feelings.
