Hey guys just letting you know this is my very first sponsored post, I'm one step closer to making youtube a full time thing, which means more content !!! As always I want to hear what you guys thought of the series so let me know :D

I will say the show does show it's age, but the storytelling isn't diminished because of it. I for one have binged it twice on Disney plus and honestly I may go for a third. I do think spectacular still beats it on all levels. But I respect the old cuz without it we wouldn't have the new.

The 90s animated series was the series that felt like the most like a comic book.

I grow up watching this show, so it has a special place in my heart.

Probably the best characterization of Peter Parker/Spider-Man. Like, this is pretty fucking accurate more than the majority of other adaptions

GET BACK HERE, SHOCKER! SHOCKEEEEEERRRRR!!! YOU CAN’T ESCAPE ME!!! I’LL CHASE YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EARRRRTH!!!

*That was the very first Marvel content I ever saw.* The first arc in the show I saw was the Venom Saga (it's also what made Venom one of my favourite Marvel Villains/Anti-Villains ever).

This show, along with the first Raimi movie, made me want to BE A SUPERHERO. That's how important this show is to me, and why I have an undying love for it.

“Now we’re one. Now you’re gonna pay! We’re poison to you, Spider-Man! That’s why we call ourselves…VENOM!”

One great episode I always remember is when Jonah Jameson had to go and play like a real Journalist/Detective himself. That was a fantastic episode because it showed for all his yellow journalism, Jonah actually could be a real reporter when it's not about taking down Spider-Man. And it's just an amazing episode.

Fans are still trying to get this series back because we want to see Spiderman and Madame Web find Mary Jane.

RIP Ed Asner. You made J. Jonah entertaining long before J.K. Simmons came around.

Shoutout to this show for tricking us into thinking madame web was a super important character in Peter's life outside this show LOL.

I love the fact the writters of This show got Peter talking to himself 24/7 just like he does in the comics. It’s something other shows lack. Peter talking to himself is just as needed as Peter and MJ lol Edit 90s Spider-Man>>> Spectacular Spider-Man

This is my Spider-Man, every other version of Spider-Man tv show had this as a benchmark. I completely disagree with the narration in the show as this is very similar to what you see in a comic and made it feel authentic

He may have seem generic, but Animated Series Hobgoblin always worked for me. I like him as a villain for hire as opposed to the mess the character is in the comics. My ideal Hobgoblin would be something akin to DC's Deathstroke.

As a kid who had like 4 VHSes of this show, each with multiple story arcs per tape, this show had me from the jump. Seeing Spider-Man get found out. Seeing him team up with Daredevil. That one seen where Norman transitions from repeating the word no several times into the Goblin laugh. So many amazing moments that I’ll treasure forever.

You know, when you consider all the stuff that they had going against them, it's a miracle that people remember this show as fondly as they do, just imagine how good this show would've been if Peter was able to just throw a punch.

From the crossover episodes my favourite was the Daredevil crossover. Imagine if a similar crossover took place in live action.

The over the top voice acting alone makes this show top tier in my eyes

Unpopular opinion but this was actually my favorite and in my opinion the best spider man cartoon. The tension, the hype, the cliff hangers, the build up, the stakes they were really good

Spider-Man and X-Men did a really great job as shows especially with the sensors and really helped broaden Marvel's appeal. While I prefer the DCAU but having them compete against each other led to some really great TV

I was literally anticipating this!!! Even though I’m an early 2000s kid, I literally watched this show alongside with Spectacular Spider-Man. Both these shows have massively influenced my love for Spider-Man

This show was amazingly put together considering all the limitations on the budget and the massive censorship.

I still think it mostly holds up. The animation is dated (duh, it's a show nearing 30 years old), but is visually very clean and appealing with it's character designs. And the quality of the animation is still pretty high compared to other cartoons of the era. The arguably more praised X-Men series from the same time doesn't look nearly as good as this does. The executive censorship is more obvious to the adult eye, which is a bummer. but the storytelling is strong enough that censored violence isn't always noticeable. I love how the show embraces the soap opera tone of the comics. When you get down to it, Spider-Man is a melodramatic soap opera. And I'm not saying that to be dismissive or insulting. There are always big emotions, big reveals - BIG DRAMA BIG ACTION BIG EVERYTHING. This show captures that aspect of the comic perfectly. As a kid the ongoing, serialized stories of this show had me hooked. It felt properly big and epic and engaging and even all these years later I still find the ambition of the storytelling to be impressive for the time period and it can stand up to the more nuanced cartoons of today. Spectacular is the more nuanced show, sure. But I honestly find this one more entertaining. And I can't not read the comics without hearing Barnes in my head. He's kind of my ideal Spider-Man over all of them to be honest.

I love the 90s iron man modular armour design it's my favourite look for iron man after extremis and bleeding edge armors

Spectacular Spider-Man will always be my favorite, but this series had great moments too!

65 episodes! As a kid it felt like hundreds. So rewatchable and deep.

You know what's crazy I actually when back to watch that " chase you to the ends of the earth " before watching this video. And to see you plat it here feels like ultimate fan service. and just left a smile on my face

I will always hold a special place in my heart for this show as it was my introduction to the character of Spider-Man and his world. It certainly doesn't measure up to the Spectacular Spider-Man but flaws and all, I'll happily take it over anything from Jeph Loeb's tenure as head of Marvel Animation (worst mistake Marvel ever made in my opinion)

For me, this is the definitive series that made me a lifelong Spider-Man fan. Growing up with this along with the X-Men series, Batman the Animated Series, and Batman Beyond defined my childhood into adolescence years. What a time to be alive.

Anyone else just love the sound effect they use for the Spider Sense in this show? You really get the feeling that somethings coming.

I recently finished this series so this video was perfect timing. I grew up with show, and I definitely see it's faults but I still love and appreciate this show. The theme song imo is the best Spiderman theme song. The music, the rock n roll, the spider blood are so cool to listen to. The episode Mary Jane evapourated had me in tears. It was really sad seeing her go. As a kid the man spider used to scare me, and it still does even as an adult. Good video looking forward to the next one.

This show truly is great. While I wasn't alive when it first came out, it is one of the first superhero shows I ever watch. To me, this is the DEFINITIVE Spider-Man

The great thing about this show is how it took major comic arcs and woved them into the shows narrative to make a condensed version. The team-ups were pretty great too; Daredevil, Dr. Strange, X-Men etc. I did miss that in Spectacular.

To this day when I see the scene where he’s screaming for MJ, I get teary eyed 🥺

This show has my favorite version of black cat. Which i would later learn wasn't how she normally was. Which was a little unfortunate since i loved how they handled her here. Part of me still wishes they got together in this series.

I’m still kind of surprised that this series has been rarely referenced in modern cannon. I hope that the rumors about them bringing this into Spiderverse 2 will finally give it the respect that it deserves

What I think studios fail to realize, is that Spider-Man is relatable to any age. It just depends on the story-telling, because as a kid when I would watch this series, I never once felt like I wished Spider-Man was a kid like me.

This Spider-man cartoon taught me who Spider-man was as a character. I thought Spider-man was a sinister character before this show

Growing up this show was my favorite spiderman cartoon, getting older and rewatching I still love this show for what it is but I can admit that spectacular Spider-Man is a phenomenal show and does what spiderman the animated series does well and elevates it and takes to the next level.

I've been a fan of spiderman since 1964, and have seen every version of him. At each level, 60s, 70's, 90s and finally the modern era,2000 to 2021, I found each one better than the one before. Let's face it, we are Spider fans and no matter what animated version they throw at us, we'll be there!

One of the main things that I absolutely loved about this series is how everything was connected very naturally. Of course when most of the superheroes in marvel take place in New York City it is easy to do team-ups However the way the story flow Spider-Man and Peter Parker were both able to team up with Captain America, the X-Men, Daredevil and even the fantastic four His supporting characters also helped the storyline flow naturally Such as the storyline with Felicia Hardy and Michael morbius How that story flowed into him becoming a vampire That story also float and sue her becoming the black cat That also flowed into them teaming up with blade on multiple occasions There were stories that included not only Mary Jane and Aunt May But the crossover episodes with the X-Men and even introducing major comic book story lines like secret wars Or introducing characters from the 1960s Specifically speaking about the 7 secret warriors story arc that got some include Spider-Man and Peter Parker's friend and co-worker Robbie from the newspaper This was just a great show all

Madam Spider telling Peter that they're going to go find the real Mary Jane WAS the satisfying conclusion of the series and that story arc.

When my friend and I were watching it we both mentioned how much it felt like we were reading an old comic book, I really enjoyed it

Every negative you pointed out is why I love this show so much. The self-narrating is a big plus for me. And all of the characters. I just don’t see how one can not like this show.

I loved this show as a kid and I still have alot of nostalgia. Kudos for highlighting John Semper Jr. I appreciate his work but I had kinda gotten annoyed with how bitter he had gotten lately. Especially him constantly mad at people criticizing the show and claiming he created the Spider-Verse.

The thing that always got me about this show, and all other marvel shows from this era, is that everyone has the body of he man.

I agree with what you said about the over use of exposition throughout the series. It got so bad that I’m the neogenic nightmare arc, you could make a drinking game out of the amount of times Spider-Man says “the pain! It’s excruciating!”

The bulk of my experience with Spider-Man The Animated Series actually doesn't come from having watched it on TV, but rather some VHS tapes and a DVD alongside them. That DVD is The Return Of The Green Goblin, and I still have and watch it. It was also one of my first DVDs.

I appreciate the show for being part of my childhood and for taking risks in that they allow Spider-Man to grow up not to keep him stuck in High School like many iterations.

That Osborn~Goblin transition from 13:26 to 13:40 approx cracks me up everytime and it things like that I appreciate about animation in general but especially the world of superheroes

Spider-Man tas and X-Men tas were my introduction to Marvel

I actually liked this more than spectacular Spider-Man I still love spectacular Spider-Man in fact I got the DVD set and I’m still pissed that it got it cancelled (thanks Sony and or Disney) but I grew up with this show and I loved watching it as a kid and I love watching it as an adult on Disney plus hell a lot of Spider-Man stories have been taken from this show here are some examples The Otto Octavius and Peter Parker student and teacher relationship in “dr Octopus armed and dangerous” was used in Spider-Man 2 and in Spider-Man ps4 The 2 part finale paved the way for stuff like the shattered dimensions video game, the spiderverse comics, the critically acclaimed into the spiderverse and no way home (unless they’re only bringing the villains back) The alien costume was used in spectacular Spider-Man, the venom movie and a tiny bit in Spider-Man 3 (they didn’t go to space and the symbiote was obviously shoved in because avi arad said so) The Norman Osborn and green goblin split personality thing seen in enter the green goblin,goblin war and turning point was used in the first Sam raimi movie And as minor as it was Peter losing his powers in Spider-Man 2 was seen in the insidious six episode Also the Spider-Man constantly talking every single second I thought was worse in the 2017 cartoon I seriously was yelling “shut up” at the tv screen because Peter going on about science sh🐬t in the first episode or he’s going on about how he doesn’t want the symbiote to hurt aunt may like dude we get it keep it to yourself it never bothered me here but in the 2017 cartoon it’s kind of annoying

I really do liked Spider-Man animated Series from 1994 especially the theme song, but I still wished the writers made one last episode featuring Peter Parker/ Spider Man with Madame Web finding the real Mary Jane and then return to their reality as a proper happy ending instead of leaving the Series as a cliff hanger😒.

I'm excited for this one, when Super Frame uploads you can expect high quality editing and analysis.

I LOVE the intro of this video, really well edited!

Seeing scarlet spider armor-Spider-Man octo-Spider-Man six arms Spider-Man and actor Spider-Man of our universe gave me a first introduction of the spiderverse

I grew up with this series. This was my first introduction to Spider-Man and the Marvel Universe in general. I am 25 now and last year I watched it again. I felt the same excitement I did as a little kid. There's really not a higher compliment I can give.

What’s shocking to me is there is no dvd set of this show. All seasons 1-5 have not been made into DVD’s. The only way to find them is to buy them custom.

In my home town there wasn't anywhere you could get comics so This was my introduction to Siderman

I love this series. Spider-man is my favorite superhero of all time.

I watched this show as a young adult. I fell in love with Spidey on The Electric Company show. I used to watch the 60s cartoon in reruns so when His Amazing Friends hit the airwaves I was thrilled. As a young father I loved watching the Animated Series. As an old man looking back; no doubt Spectacular is the better series but I have a much softer spot in my heart for the Animated Series

I love how he said that they couldn't do Gwen without killing her but than immediately kill off MJ in a similar way . yes i know she isn't dead but they still had her fall off a bridge and be presumed dead

One of my childhood classics growing up

We need this show remastered in HD

I like everything else except how they Introduce Captain America. Instead of being frozen for years he's In a dimension fighting the red skull and after everything Is done his back to his In a dimension again. When the Secret Wars came they brought him out only to bring him back to that dimension.

I grew up watching this show. I recently re-watched it on Disney + and I have to say I find it just as good now as I did back then it's amazing.

I grew up a decade after this show came out, but I remember watching this on the early era of KZfaq in clips

Great way to start off the month my man My introduction to the webhead was the 2002 movie

My favourite Spiderman incarnation, a childhood gem of mine this show was. Along with Rugrats, Hey Arnold, Ducktales, Angry Beavers, Doug, Action Man the Animated Series, Gargoyles, Dragaonball Z and Batman the Animated Series.

The world's favorite adventure superhero Spider-Man the webslinging hero who's captured the hearts of billions of fans across the globe 🌎

I was born 11 years after the series started and it's one of my fav series of all time

Spider-man the animated series was my first exposure to the web slinger. Episodes I remember vividly were the venom saga and man-spider episodes, plus the theme song is unforgettable. Even as an adult, I still find myself rewatching the series every now and then,it's still enjoyable despite having not aged well.

I watched and loved this show as a kid, but it had one very unfortunate downside... I came to think of this older post-high school Spider-Man as what he should be, and it took until seeing Homecoming to realize this. See, for as much as I claimed to love the character, I never got as into any of the movies or TV shows as much as I did this cartoon, and seeing baby-faced teenage Peter dealing with school drama put a big highlight on why. I just don't care for stories about a younger Peter. He can still be fun as Spider-Man, but this was the version I also loved as Peter Parker. At this point, I don't know if there's any chance of that changing, and it's a bit sad considering it older Pete isn't something a lot of people seem interested in using these days. So for that, I will always love this series, warts and all.

Venom and Morbius should have their very own spinoff television series starring Hank Azaria and Nick Jameson

Top 10 Spidey episodes that turns Parker from 0 to Hero 1. The Lizard! He is forced not only to save his city but his aunt May as well . Bringing food on the table is the first step in becoming someone 2. The Chameleon ( already feels like Mortal Kombat ) When Peter and JJ are taken , he calmly ease drops and understands the importance of a peace treaty 3.Framed part 2 ! Parker takes a chance and sees aunt May and Anna had to deliver that lesson to him 4. Robbie s son enters the Gang Green Gang It s not about stopping Tomb Stone , it s about saving Robbie and his son . 5. Ease drop on the kingpin , saving Smyte 6.Save Felicia and JJ as Peter Parker , distracting doc Oc 7.Letting Marry Jane dispose of Hydro Man 8.( This is an 8 and 9 ) Facing Doctor Doom alone while his super friends are tired 9. Who among you wanted to give up their super powers ? He could finally state at his own neck and blood loss and was not just a quotation of his uncle , it is fighting a good fight at his best skills . He is more man than spider . super powers mean nothing . The ability to laugh evil and make fun of it in his face is all you need 10. Saving the Multiverse of spiders , making peace to himself and never giving in to evil

Man for some reason I remember sandman being in this show

13:09 just went from smol to MASSIVE GLIDER

Little known fact, David Hayter has played the World's Greatest Soldier in two universes (Solid Snake, Captain America).

Little by little I'm buying every super hero season I enjoyed. Spider-Man was my first introduction to marvel superheroes. This show introduced me to my favorite super hero of all time! I loved this show. The only thing I didn't like was how it ended lol. Great channel, I love your content.

Also, there is a ride in Universal Orlando Resort based off of this show

i love the fin action figure desgins

That style of constant narration is VERY comic booky. Those were the kinds of lines I used to read when I was a Spider-Man comics fan back in the 1960s.

Your series review is really a treasure trove of forgotten memories I watched this all on yt before i knew what yt was for

Spider-Man the animated series is the best Spider-Man show hangs down.

Spider-Man tas was the best incarnation of Spider-Man! It explored all angles of the character expect his rivalry with sandman. It carried out all of his team ups with, X-men, avengers, blade, a lot of others. They did a lot in this show. Very underrated and the voice acting was amazing also! Great show!

I think this show still gets one thing better than Spectacular. The music. People might be able to debate the theme songs, but Spider-Man TAS has a much more memorable orchestral sound that I'd love to see in a movie one day

See I'm visually impaired so the constant narration for me and a couple of my other friends who are also blind it was incredibly helpful. Thanks to the narration I never missed a single thing.

It was because of this show that got interested in Superhero comics and Marvel in General!

John Semper Jr. really pulled off an AMAZING feat considering all the censorship and demands being thrown at him. I agree that Spectacular was the better series overall, but SMTAS is truly something special and the impact it has made is unforgettable.

I didn’t know about the sensors outside of laser guns! But it was suuuuch a good introduction to Spider-Man ‘s world! It’s storytelling, especially season long arcs, was very important to transitioning when I eventually went to the comics (which was having the longest of story arcs at the time, the clone saga)!!! It’s taught me about the villains, other heroes -- such a great show

Haven’t finished spectacular only started it when it came out around the time my son was born. I grew up with the 90’s Spider-Man probably being the premier target demographics. So to me as a 7,8,9,10, and 11 year old the narration worked for me. It was great to understand what the characters are thinking and going through when I was that age. I continue to play this for my 6 year old and he enjoys it a lot. I’ll check out spectacular with him next. Thanks for the vid

This series is the OG spider-man over the spectacular. There would be no spectacular Spider-Man without this serious. The multi-verse and cross overs with other marvel hero’s like x-men and dr strange, captain America, ect gave way for such movies like the avengers, end game, ect. This show was ahead of its time

My grandfather was a NASA software engineer and is the person who introduced me to these characters through X-Men, Batman, and Spider-Man on fox kids. He's still the coolest and most staggeringly intelligent person I know

2:37 was taken from issue #2 of the Spectacular Spider-Man comic from the 60's.

I used to watch that cartoon with my son in the 90s as I watched spiderman cartoons In the 70s and Early 80s this one has the best story out of any spider man cartoon I'd ever seen, it was one big continuation that was something I've never seen before, it was a great story.

This was my intro into superheros which is why Spiderman is my favorite hero

absolutely loved this show as a kid. like you said it was my first real exposure to Spidey and I loved it all. recently watched it all again on Disney + and it's a much more nuanced and layered show that I remembered especially with multi-part stories and characters. your review and analysis of it is spot on.

The intro transition into the series is beautiful
