Sony Releases Spider-Man TV Rights To Marvel/Disney

1. Very Well … I normally hate it when people pass on a comment scarcely articulating “Fine topic”, but hell, that’s one grand subject!

2. The Spectacular Spider-man’s style is reminiscent of Ditko’s style which is no surprise cause the show is inspired by the early years of spider-man comic books. It might evolve in later seasons and become more like Romita Sr.’s style. In general, the simple style employed currently has really been to the advantage of the show and made the animation really really fluid and the action scenes really awesome!

   I have read very spider-man comic ever published, played every spider-man video game ever released, watched any spider-man film (live-action or animated) and watched all the animated series based on DC or marvel characters and I am telling you that Spectacular Spider-man is not only the best adaption of Marvel’s flagship character outside of the comics (on par with “Spider-man 2”) but is one of the best superhero shows in the history of TV.

3. I agree with Wellness, Andy M. I don’t necessarily have a problem with the look of Spectacular Spider-man. The animation is more fluid. It’s fine the way it is.

4. Aw c’mon, the Romita style is NOT the definitive style. In fact, it’s become the most overexposed and dated style that Marvel have stuck to, making their characters look decrepid and stale. I’d rather have Sal, Mark, and Ron’s takes on the characters than the boring Romita Snr and Jr way of doing things…at least all those afore-mentioned artists don’t living in the fucking 70s.

5. >Disney Animation could be the best thing that could happen to a Spider-man cartoon. Now it looks too silly looking. The characters look like they are under 12 years old and the design is kind of sloppy. It would be nice if they do the same thing they did with the Fantastic Four in the 1994 -95 cartoon<

   Erm…The FF cartoon looked horrible. The animation in TSSM is amazing, it's sleeker, the characters have the right balance of "cute" and "contemporary"….and, sorry, Romita's Spidey is NOT the end-all/be-all. I have long loathed that the art style continues to follow that DATED rubbish. Sal, Baigley, and Frenz are the supreme artists, not Romita Snr or Romita "Cancer Ward Paitent" Jr.

6. This could potentially be a dream come true, and Disney+Marvel may be the best thing for us fans in a long time.

7. Disney Animation could be the best thing that could happen to a Spider-man cartoon. Now it looks too silly looking. The characters look like they are under 12 years old and the design is kind of sloppy. It would be nice if they do the same thing they did with the Fantastic Four in the 1994 -95 cartoon. The next season go for a more Romita look. Disney could pull this off. The Romita Spider-man is the Definitive one.

8. But we really don’t want Disney’s animation crew invalved with Spec Spidey.

9. Spider-Girl, your comment almost made me cry. Well, not really, but DAMN do I miss those days. I can’t believe I actually had to think for a second to remember Lizzie Maguire (not that I watched the show a lot, just haven’t heard the name in a long time…especially not since Ha*** Mont****” took over).

   Anyways, good news! Be as it may, Disney has a much better animation crew than anything out there (for the style, I mean).

10. It’s cool so long as they continue to let Weisman do whatever he wants. Spectacular is the greatest Spider-Man cartoon ever.

11. Yes, Kim Possible was kind of like watching Spider-Man only with opposite genders…and if Mary Jane was Sharon Carter

    Another good example of writers listening to fans too, instead of invoking a reign of terror against them

12. Please, please, please let there be a third season!!!

13. I was hoping this show would get to go on for as long as possible! its awesome

14. Well, the DTV movies probably is more down Cartoon Network’s alley. Disney tries to keep the level of maturity where it is. The Lizzie Maguire movie was on the same level as the tv series, and I’m pretty sure so was the Hannah Montana movie. If anything, they would not approve of the idea of DTV movies with a more mature content.

    And yes, let’s hope they keep making the series, as a lot of the cartoons/tv shows on Disney channel are crap right now! Kim Possible was probably the last of the ‘good era.’

15. Disney would be fools to pass it up.

    -It has a five-year plan
    -It was always set to comprise of 65 episodes (In fact, Marvel cartoons will BENEFIT from this as they will have a set five-year plan for every cartoon they do)
    -It will have direct-to-DVD movies that drasticly mature the content.
