I just try and think of show as the child born from a freaky three way involving, Ultimate spider-man comic, Spider-man and his amazing friends and Teen Titan's cartoon.

Just try and have fun with it.



I don't understand the whole cry for "SRSNESS", we're barley 3 eps in, and yet people are crying that it needs more drama and seriousness, like, let the show grow half a season, or so, and actually build relationships and shit, Titans never jumped into darker stories that earlier, give the show some time. I just wonder if the show could pull drama in the first place.


but i restate, kool show.

Ya know, one thing I liked about Spectacular is that is made Flash seems like a depthful character; yeah he started off as a typical Jerk Jock, but over the course of the series he gradually grew away from that stereotype showing that he was indeed a decent person; helping Spidey save Gwen from Venom, being the first to call Peter out on his callous behavior when he had the symbiote , and realizing that his typical attitude wasn't going to impress a girl he liked, hell by the end of the second season you could call him and Peter friends. Overall, some pretty deep character development.


We're not going to get that same treatment with this Flash are we?

[krazystitch]

I haven't been able to watch any episodes of this show yet, just a few clips and stuff, but I must honestly say that I am interested in it. The animation and writing looks great, like a really good cartoon to just sit down and enjoy when it's on.

Apparently, a lot of people watched Spectacular Spider-Man as well..another one I didn't get to experience. Luckily, I don't need a channel I don't have in order to watch that one.

So long as MOA is writing no, I mean even in their other shows supporting characters undergoing development was a rarity. Granted this might change over time if Dini and Bendis start writing more episodes through the span of the series.

That or they'll go the Ultimate route and make Kenny/Kong undergo the good guy transformation which I'd have no real problem with.

Just throwing it out there....Does this series even have an intro? We are about to be 3 episodes in and I've yet to see one pop up. I mean I kinda want to see and hear what the intro is like. Sometimes that helps me get into the series.

[elementofchaos]

I don't think it has an intro. Like you, I thought maybe the first/second episode simply didn't have it (it wouldn't be the first pilot episode of a series to do such a thing), but since there wasn't one in the third episode...I'm guessing there's no intro at all.

...

To be honest, that's my biggest disappointment with the series so far. No intro! It's practically a tradition to have a catchy theme song for Spidey cartoons. Oh well.

[Eternal Xtreme]

*Cries and curls up in the corner* But but but.....Oh fuck it. At least I get to see Venom this weekend. And I guess it's not all bad since ThunderCats 2011 does not have an intro.

[goku262002]

its funny the show doesn't have a intro or ending credits but it still tends to be 5 minutes longer in a normal 30 minute program! does Disney need that channel advertising that bad or are those (totally not a DC-nation stolen idea) marvel heroes/abilities segments causing the show to be longer?

Your not getting our complaints. were complaining how this show can't take itself seriously in any situation its always gotta have a cut away gag or a bad joke or a 4th wall being broken and can't go 5 minutes of just straight action without these elements. its overkill and its annoying not even teen titans did that! this show needs to learn when to stop trying to be funny and just let a scene be a scene. that Doom fight would've been way more better if fucking parker didn't keep interrupting thinking about jetpacks and whatnot.

Back in Black probably means Venom returns for round two. While I'd wager Freaky will probably be based off the old Wolverine and Spider-man body swap story that happened in the Ultimate universe sometime ago.

Edit:
Uh.... It's ummm... someone make sense of this for me.

Ultimate Flash was just as shallow as this characterization. Hell, out of all of Peter's classmates, he is the only one who didn't go to his funeral. The entire city made time for it and asshole couldn't even skip class to go.

Seriously? Just..wow.

After Episode 3, my patience for the jokes is starting to wear thin. The show is good, don't get me wrong, but... that's it. It's just good. I liked the premier a lot because it showed potential for a great show, but now I'm just not seeing it. I'll keep watching to see if it ever gets better; not even Spectacular was all that great until about the fourth episode.

"Just good" is fine, but it just makes me miss Spectacular more. I was really hoping that wouldn't happen.

[turbojet]

I stopped comparing this to Spectacular because there are very few writers that can match the talent of Greg Weisman. I implore you guys to watch Young Justice and see exactly what I mean. He is the Christopher Nolan of Superhero cartoons and really has no comparison.

When it comes to Ultimate version comic, I prefer the Peter Parker version of him over any other universe. I like the modern reinterpretation of Spider-man and I love Miles Morales. It has weaknesses as well such as Mary Jane and Gwen Stacey and etc.

...Wait a minute, where the hell is Iceman and Firestar? If Spidey is going to be on a superhero team, add them at least. Shit, we need one more girl to even it out.

Wait, why does Venom look like his pre-Eddie Brock state? I remember seeing in a promo for the show, Venom looked just like he usually does. (Unless, of course, that promo clip was from a future episode with Venom.)

Ok, the fourth episode seems to have finally hit its stride; the fight with Venom was actually taken seriously with far less cutaway gags, and fourth wall breaks, part of the episode focused on Pete trying to maintain his masquerade along with maintain his friendship with Harry. If if the rest of the season is like this, then I can say this show can actually be good.

Nah they were still there, it wasn't until Peter got absorbed by Venom that it finally stopped and got serious. Mind you they did cut back but it annoyed the fuck out of me when the show starts and 8 seconds in they had a 4th wall break. they still need to cut back on these jokes.

Must they feel the need to re-introuduce somebody in every episode? by now its been estliblashed on who everyone is we don't need a 4th wall break to tell us again, we have attention spans longer then that. hope that stops.

And it looks like Harry is going to be Venom this time around not Eddie, then again we haven't seen a trace of Eddie so maybe hes not even in this universe.

I'm pretty sure he isn't, he doesn't have anything agaisnt Spider-Man, so why would he become Venom and try to kill him? (or he could be some Spider-Man ally this time around too.) Eddie Brock became (or stayed) Venom because him and the symbiote wanted revenge on Peter Parker, unless of course the symbiote takes FULL control of Harry, which even then, I'm pretty sure he could atleast try and fight it.
