Spider-Man (1994 series)

[Talent Name]

Due to my frequent insomnia I have been watching the series on netflix. I love how they portray certain characters like Blade and Hydroman. The series has my favorite version of Venom and Carnage. What do you think of the series?

I still love it to this day. I don't care if the animation (the CG especially) is out-dated and if it's hampered because of all of the censorship; it is still a damn good show.

[A Platypus Rave is Correct]

I still like it ... but find it odd that I didn't notice the over sensitive censorship when I Was a kid

[Talent Name]

There were a few adult references I didn't catch when I was little that I caught now, like one episode Mary Jane was like what do Spider-Man and I have in common and Peter said that you both look good in skintight outfits

["Gentleman" AJ Powell]

I grew up watching it and the X-Men animated series, easily the best cartoon on TV at the time. Bloody loved it!

[Deleted]

Still my favourite spiderman series to this day.

Albeit I to did not notice the over cencorship as a child watching it , but even today it does not effect the series for me I LOVE the introductory venom saga.

"Shocker!!!! you can't escape me, I'll chase you to the ends of the earth!!!!"

I can't help but smile whenever I hear that line from spiderman as it is just so hammy but epic.

[CATCH_US IS the Conversation]

Road Rage Venom. That is all.

[chazraps]

Easily the best line-up of voice talent that an animated comic-book show has ever had, just barely edging BTAS solely for the diversity.

That first season was incredible. Really a shame how haphazardly it ended.

Me and a friend both agree that the show didn't age very well. I loved it at the time, but whereas I can go back and watch Batman TAS and X-Men, I felt that a lot of times Spiderman just felt rushed with too much emphasis on internal monologue that would quickly lead into a ridiculous situation, it almost doesn't give you time to react to what's going on, so while fun, I think the pacing was sort of bad. The stories were good up until Madam Web, seriously I hate her. Also the Sinister Six from this version is what I would love to see in a live action movie, although it'll never happen.

Good series although age hasn't been kind to it. I did like how they did the gang warfare halfway through the series with Kingpin & Silvermane that was fun.

Mysterio was amusing, Hobgoblin was ace, Green Goblin rarely appeared which for me is a good thing and the rest of the villains were portrayed well (Well except Sandman (n/a) and Electro "German son of Red Skull?"). Heck they even got Dormmammu involved.

Carnage was quite good, but I always feel he is hampered by being a horror movie villain stuck in a childrens enviroment, where as in the comics he can go all out.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

it wasn't bad, but much like the X-men cartoon its aged horribly, especially when compared to the DCAU, or more recently Spectacular Spider-man and Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes.

still read Jonah with Ed Asner's voice, though.

[DragonMasterP]

It's still the best Spidey show, as far as I'm concerned.

Still brings back wonderful memories, along with X-Men and Batman: The Animated Series. The Fox Kids lineup was always something I looked forward to watching after coming home from school.

I also noticed the censorship when I was younger, but I was entertained by the show enough where it just never bothered me at all. I still watch it every now and then too, courtesy of the UK DVDs. Why the US still doesn't have season sets on DVD is beyond me...

[SHAKEMASTER TV9 is Don Knotts]

I like it but there's too much "90s comic writing" in it. For example, Spider-man is swinging for a few minutes and its him narrating everything. Really annoying for me. At the start, they touted the 3D swinging animation but they stopped using it in the later seasons because it looked like crap. Even for back then. The Venom story arc was big at my school, I was upset I was missing it for my 2nd grade Communion. The Secret Wars arc was also good. Boy did I hate the Moebius arc.

MARY JANE!

I loved when Vulture stole his youth and we had geriatric spider-man for a little bit

[TK The Friendly Robot]

This series was the best Spiderman series to date. The story arcs were good and there was a huge mix of characters and surprises that kept me tuned in to the show. I loved the Sinister Six stuff and the Six Forgotten Warriors stuff along with a whole plethora of the other stories. My only problem was the overuse of the Morbius character and the fact that some of the other villains were rather toned down.

Overall I love it and I can still watch it today, it hasn't aged too badly though it does have it's moments that make you groan.

[Baldobomb-22-OH-MAN!!!]

in addition to JJJ sounding like Ed Asner, I also owe this show for making me read Eddie Brock with the most Brooklyn-tastic accent ever.

I loved this show when I was a kid and I still like it now but I think Spectacular Spider-Man was much better. One thing I noticed when I rewatched the series as a teenager was how bad the animation was. They would constantly reuse scenes, and not just for action scenes, there were several times where the dialogue would obviously not sync up with the animation and it took me out of the scene.

[Goldenbane]

Really didn't like how utterly weak and useless Spiderman was in pretty much every episode. I did think Venom and Carnage were handled extremely well, and I did like Spiderman teaming with all his alternate universe selves quite a bit. LOVED Spider-Carnage, and actually kinda found myself rooting for him (probably because he was portrayed as strong and tough, while Spidey was always portrayed as so whimpy and whiny).

Hated Morbius and hoped he'd die. Also got fed up with Black Cat's whining crap too, blaming Peter for everything ever and her blind stupid loyalty to that idiot, Morbius.

Thought characters like Kingpin and Hobgoblin were used excellently well. Great voice acting for both of those characters. Liked a lot of a slow build up to so many characters...especially Silvermane and Vulture. Thought the Man-Spider story was really good, even kinda liked Punisher.

Overall though, I think Spectacular was far better than the 90's series. Not sure how I'd rank it besides Ultimate Spiderman.
