>Decided to watch Spiderman the animated series since my 30 year old boomer brother and all his unc friends keep saying its the best spiderman>Peter Parker is literally a chadDid boomers really think this Peter was nerdy?
no, Peter being a nerd was just part of his origin but not regularly associated with the character. Raimi was the one who really popularized the idea of nerdy Peter to the public.
Yes. He's had a handsome face since at least the Romita days.
>>152794945>cartoon in the late 90s that was reran heavily in the 2000s>boomershuh
>>152794945nerds can be good looking and lift. Nerd is a personality and mindset
>>152794945It's sort of like how Prince Adam is still buff even when he's not He-Man. Some shows like to reuse a character build and model to make things easier.
>>152795098Yeah, TAS is college Peter, which is he fully outgrew his nerdish beginnings.
>>152794945Well, he still dresses and combs his hair like a dorkBut yeah, now you know why TAS fans that see faggot like Tom Holland have quite a character whiplash
>>152795115it's a troll postyou were trolled
>>152795305>you were trolledhuh
>>152795115>original run>1994 - 1998>late 90sIf you watched spiderman tas as a kid youre at least 30 by now
>>152794945Fixed your picture for you OP.
This is what a nerd looked like in the 90s.
>>152795545Fixed again, you're welcome.
>>152794945>>152795535Oh sorry meant to post pic rel.
>>152795620>MJ the traitor gave this upShe'll come crawling back.

>>152795630Sanity is overrated anyway.
>>152795627Should have edited God to be Zebb. Or his in universe father.
>>152794945Sucks that editing was not just garbage but also just bizarre and NO it wasn't because "like muh comics", I keep reading that it was Avi Arad who sabotaged the show to make it into a joke, but I dunno way.
There are different types of nerds, and even in the comics Peter wasn't a total awkward dweeb nerd. Even from what I've seen of the Ditko version, where he looks more outwardly nerdy, I get the impression he was more of an isolated book-focused type of nerd with a chip on his shoulder. Not a soft dork, he'd talk back if anybody gave him shit.I think Tom Holland Peter Parker is the wrong way, Tom feels too soft and not at all like a kid who grew up in Queens.90s cartoon Peter was still a nerd in the sense that he did science and stuff. As far as looks go, Peter was already looking more like a classic hero by the time Romita Sr. took over.
>>152795209>TAS is college Peter, which is he fully outgrew his nerdish beginnings.He outgrew it in HS.
>>152795855>As far as looks go, Peter was already looking more like a classic hero by the time Romita Sr. took over.Yeah, Ditko's Peter was already looking like the traditional, chad take on the character by the last few issues he did, the template was already in place.
>>152794945Every male character in this was shredded, including the wheelchair-bound scientist twink Fisk kept around
>>152795838>Avi Arad who sabotaged the show to make it into a joke,What? Qrd?
>>152795925>including the wheelchair-bound scientist twink Fisk kept aroundThat was Smythe though, who eventually becomes a genetically altered Spider-Slayer.
>>152794945If you actually watched it you would know that this was after he got bit by the spider, in the flashback where he was bitten he's shown to be like a nerd
>>152795925>Every male character in this was shreddedYou mean every character and yes it was based
>>152796024>you would know that this was after he got bit by the spiderYes, the spider that was supposed to bite Paul.
>>152795994Not him, but I think he's talking about Arad insisting on using villains and stories that were currently in the comics in the 90's (Hobgoblin, young Vulture, Venom etc) instead of starting at the beginning with Spidey's classic rogue gallery (Doc Ock, Green Goblin, old Vulture, Electro, Kraven, Mysterio, Sandman, etc) and building up to the later villains as the show went on. Electro appeared in one episode and was made Russian, and Sandman never appeared at all. Arad pulled this same bullshit on Raimi, which is why Venom got shoehorned into Spider-Man 3.
Found it again>>152796053>We'll never get muscle cat again
>>152794945I love the amount of muscles in this show. Unapologetic masculinity is a lost art.
>>152796090Unironically it was for toy synergy.
>>152796090You dont need to have muscles to be masculine chud
>>152796277>BECAUSE OF MY WEIGHT
>>152794945fuck off zoom zoom
>>152796107And despite that, it still worked.
>>152796107>Mysterio, the nerd who fights with lights and special effects, is jacked as hell too
>>152794945Right? The 90's Spider-Man cartoon totally missed the basic point of Peter Parker's design and made him a handsome fucking linebacker instead of a skinny yet ripped, bookish-looking lad. Somebody you'd glance at and decide even a woman could wreck him. Until he throws a car at you.
If Disney ever brings this back like they did with the X-Men one, i pray to God that it's good
>>152796090will it ever be socially acceptable to be male ever again
Roscoe Lee Brown was the best Kingpin. He carried that perfect blend of pose and menace.
>>152797940In a world where only the worst get their way, you literally can't have what you deserve. Because if you had it, the way you got it would mean you didn't deserve it.On the other hand, you could take the moral hit for the team, crush opposition, become what they accuse you of, and then... make a better world for your sons after you. But that has such a poor likelihood of working long-term anyway.>>152798311damn right. what the fuck happened to all the classically-trained actors? They're dying but there's nobody replacing them. We just lost Tony Todd AND Lou Gossett Jr within like a year.
>>152798432This show had a great voice cast overall. Ed Asner as JJJ, Neil Ross as Norman Osborn/ Green Goblin, Efrem Zimbalist Jr as Doc Ock. I could go on.
>>152795513That's not a Boomer you fucking moron. Boomers were the people who came of age some 30 years before then. Goddamn.
>>152794945Do you even know what boomer means?Are you underaged?
>>152795513Underage doesn't know what a boomer is.
>>152797909This was long after he was a teenager you dumb shit fuck
>>152798311His is still the voice I hear in my mind when reading>>152798432>damn right. what the fuck happened to all the classically-trained actors? They're dying but there's nobody replacing them.The problem isn't that no one is replacing them it's that no one is hiring themVoice/casting directors like Andrea Romano and Tony Pastor, who did this show and Fantastic Four and Silver Surfer who also had a great cast are getting pushed out of the industry and the people working now are running under the idea that you either make your cast a majority of reasonably big names that eat up your budget or guys on YouTube who will work nonunion for peanuts
>>152796072Most of the villain choices were synergy with the toys. The show-runner wanted to use Green Goblin and didn't care about either version of Hobgoblin, but Hobgoblin was in the first toy wave and had a vehicle the cartoon was told to showcase.Sandman and Electro were off-limits because they were the villains for the movie James Cameron was meant to be making in the 90s, the plan was to just wait for the movie and then copy what it did with them. By the final season it was obvious that movie wasn't happening so they did their own version of Electro where he's the Red Skull's son instead of being Max Dillon.
>>152794945For the 100th time, he was based on Romita era Peter, who actually did become a chad.
>>152794945>Did boomers really think this Peter was nerdy?No. He was out of the nerd face by at least his second year
>>152796085>We'll never get muscle cat againRivals Black Cat is coming out soon, you might get your wish there.
>>152798694>>152798906If you're +30 years old, you are literally unc status aka A BOOMERIf your birthday year starts with 19, you are old as fuck and an unc. Get off this site and start a family lmao
>>152799240>lmao>wants us to believe he's under 30>is still using internet slang that's at least 25 years oldSure, grandpa.
>>152796107Was prowler even in the show?
>>152796072That still doesn't explain the bizarre bad editing and infamous overly ad libbed dialogue that explains everything for retards, what was the reason for it?
>>152796072Ironically, this is the show that introduced the origin for the Venom Symbiote of it hitching a ride to Earth on a space vessel returning from the stars, which has proven to be, by far, the most popular version of how Peter gets the Symbiote. I bet the vast majority of Spider-Man fans don't even know Secret Wars is a thing.More than that, this show is the origin of the idea that the Symbiote's just bad, period, that it's not corrupted or defective in some way, that's just how it is, and it's only natural that it makes Peter more aggressive and amplifies Eddie's evildoing when he gets it. This show is the origin of the simpler, more basic version of the Symbiote and Venom's origins, and it has become the default version of those things in the minds of most people, probably BECAUSE it's way less complex than what the comics did.
>>152795545Why does everyone cream themselves over MJ when Peter’s hotter than her in at least half the media they show up in
>>152799427Yes
>>152799592I need to rewatch this
>>152799068They'll just make her as they always do nowadays
>>152794945>I will sacrifice my relationships and emotionally hurt everyone around me just to hide my Spider Man identity>It is perfectly okay that everyone knows me as Spider-Man personal photograph on the other handThis never made sense to me. Being known as SM photographer is way more vulnerable and dangerous role than being known as SM himself.At least villains know that the guy will beat the crap out of them.Photographer though? Just abuse him and his loved ones easily to get to SM.Stupid premise, and funny how no one in 60 years even made fun of it.
>>152794945literally everyone in that show was built like a linebacker, even jameson
>>152800847the JoJo effect
>>152795620that's why AI will inevitably be humankind's downfall
>>152800047But lots of people have made fun of it They even changed it so he was the IT guy in Ultimate because it made no sense
>>152797936I pray they don't
>>152798311>posepoise
>>152795209>>152795120TAS Peter was modeled after Jim Shooter and 1978 live action Peter
>>152801650We first need to pray that they fire editorial AKA the Sony Defense Force
>>152799469And you'll never get an explanation for that lol.
>>152799469I always assumed the editing was just the producers not understanding comics or that things happen off-panel, all of the Marvel 90s shows are like that to a degree
>>152799240I'll start a family with you, you little shit.
>>152803130Bruh, neither X-Men or even the Hulk cartoon had that schizophrenic editing.
>>152803349Yes they did
>>152794945shut up fag /co/ is a peter board
>>152797909>ASM #1, 1st panel
>>152797909The bullies in highschool literally point out how weird he was for being ripped and feeling like a brick wall
>>152798622>Efrem Zimbalist JrA class act. Was Alfred in Batman TAS too.
>>152803695People seem to really like that Peter much?
>>152794945Far as I understand it, there's always been kind of a mini civil war over this internally, with people in control fighting over if he should be some photogenic chad that's popular with the ladies for that whole "superhero appeal", or if he should be a nerdy, geeky goober with like two friends.
That's what nerds looked like before all the estrogen got in the water.
>>152796403>Vanessa, bring me my horn!
>>152799496As a kid I was so disappointed when he went back to his original costume. Not that I hated it, but the black suit was fantastic. Made me feel happy when I learned comic fans felt the same, so they made him wear it a long while.
>>152794945No, and Peter WAS a chad in the comics after high school.
>>152803442No they did not
>>152794945Yes, back then that was considered a nerd, can you imagine how manly the chads were?
>>152794945>Did boomers really think this Peter was nerdy?Peter had a glow up in collage and Flash was a weirdo who acted like he was in high-school while being in his 20s.
>>152806648>Peter had a glow up in collageDude, you didn't read the book. Quit it with the misinfo.
>>152806669>Dude, you didn't read the book. Quit it with the misinfo.What book? I'm talking about the cartoon, jack ass.
>>152794945self-inserts ruined spider man
>>152806686>What book?The comic book, dumbfuck. The one the cartoon's based on?
>>152805474The Ultimate universe was my first experience with reading Marvel characters. When I read the original Spider-Man run I was so surprised at how little time they spent in high school before graduation. Peter even beat up his bully in a boxing match.
>>152805474Man...I get tired of the jackpot line/outfit sometimes but MJ in a tank top really looks good when it is a younger MJ.
>>152796021Smythe was originally a midget incel who never left his room.
>>152797899I wouldn't be surprised if Mysterio is wearing a muscle suit. It goes on theme.
>>152794945>Spiderman
>>152806715>The comic book, dumbfuck. The one the cartoon's based on?The specific comic-book that the 90s spider-man TAS was based on? Which one is that? Otherwise I read plenty spider-man comics, now get off my dick motherfucker.
>>152803695nice
>>152795209>>152795857It's actually realistic, teenage years come with changes where a dork can completely metamorphosize into a high tier normie or even a Chad, and Peter literally received superpowers. It's a more important period that determines the rest of your life than childhood years.
>>152811007>and Peter literally stole superpowers that were never meant to be hisFixed.
>>152797940Stop giving white women power and they didn't earn and keep proving themselves unfit to have, and privilege without responsibilities, you simps.
>>152797899Keeping in comic book tradition where everyone is a fuckable 8/10 at min.
>>152799496You just can't cram secret wars into any non comic IP without raising questions and leaving gaps. Nobody wants to do a movie/seasons worth of material with OCs for a fucking costume.
>>152811540By the time the cartoon did adapt Secret Wars in the last season, the showrunners had already known they weren't getting a renewal and did it solely for fanservice.
>>152797940>>152811479More like make action figure selling cartoons big again, see >>152796107. Same reason many 80s cartoons have a bunch of men with big muscles.
>>152811578Easier to make lots of varied figures if they all share the same mold.
>>152797940Only when you retards stop whining and crying about it lmao. Oh boo hoo people dont like me cause im a man ;-;Who cares? Get over it and stop being a woman nigga haha
>>152794945He became chad after being bitten by a radioactive spider... like in the comic books. Where's the problem? You new to comics?
bump
>>152795855Peter only ever grew some balls AFTER he got his powers.
>>152814277It literally starts with him asking a girl out on a date to the General Techtronics LabBallsier than most kids, just lacked confidence
>>152800047This does happen in the show though, which is why in the show he publicly as spider-man tells Jameson Peters is some scrub who is lucky /an asshole.
