Hey guys I just finished watching the first two episodes of Spectacular Spider-Man and here is my mini review of what I thought about the two episodes.
Now so far I can say that this new series is not as good the 90s Spider-Man TAS but nevertheless it is still a lot of fun and it keeps to the spirit of the Spidey comics which is very good. Now one particular thing that they did very well was put a lot of emphasis on Spidey`s humor which was a very nice touch. The theme song for the show was very good along with the opening credits which gave a flavor of what is to come. And now here are my reviews for each individual episode.
Episode 1- Survival of the Fittest
The episode opens with Spidey delivering a monolog about being Spidey and as he takes down Flint Marko and another random thug. In this episode we get introduced to Norman Osborn, Harry Osborn, Gwen Stacy, Aunt May, Dr Conners, The Vulture, Liz Allen and Eddie Brock Now on the whole the episode was fab, great voice acting by all of the cast in particular Robert Englund as The Vulture who in my mind now is the definitive voice of the Vulture. I liked them introducing Gwen, Eddie was good to be introduced as someone Peter knows and cares for as opposed to rival photographer I could see a tiny bit of Ultimate Eddie Brock coming through the character which was great and I can`t wait to see him become Venom. As I mentioned earlier I feel they caught the spirit of the comics across and made some small changes but still keeping in spirit of the characters overall this episode gets 8/10 from me.
Episode 2- Interactions
Now in this episode we get the long awaited showing of Electro now on the whole he was pretty well done and I liked how as the episode went on Max was becoming more madder and madder as he was becoming more despirite to find a cure for himself. Also in this episode there is a nice relationship starting between Liz Allien and Peter Parker and from certain moments in this episode you can tell that there might a love triangle between Peter/Liz/Gwen only time will tell also watch out for homages to Spider-Man 2 in this episode there are some there if you watch carefully. Overall this episode was good imo and I liked how they did Electro but I liked it less then the first episode which was great so overall this episode gets 7/10 from me.
So overall so far its a very good series and I look forward to future episodes with great anticipation and for the record this show was a million times better then The Batman will ever be despite a very good 5th Season so far but this series is looking to be consistently good for me nuff said.

Just watched it, and I have to say. I enjoyed it alot. For a kid's show, I found it very entertaining. Though I dont like that Peter and Eddie are friends, I really dont see how the whole Venom thing is gonna turn out, but it might be interesting Oh well...these first two eps were good.
Seen it, didn't like it. I understand the whole concept of keeping the animation simple but if it lookes like my five year old sister can draw it then I am a little turned off.
Gender: Female Location: That place with the stuff... Yeah,
It's a kid's show (4-12) they're not going to have some overly complicated anime looking show cause it's not directed towards the older crowd (14-29 roughly)
Gender: Female Location: That place with the stuff... Yeah,
The 90s Ver was changed from its original script to change words like Death, die, hell and certin other words that refered to the end of certin characters like hydroman. It was edited for a very young crowd. And yes it is a show for children wheter meant for 7 year olds or not I can garentee there are 4 yr olds watching.
The Spiderman for the older crowd was the MTV spidey wich for whatever reason was abruptly canncelled and removed from the station all together.... as unfortunate as it was...
