A truly great series I had a lot of fun rewatching for the review, get to discover new depths to this series in each rewatch, love to hear your guys thoughts

This show was so good that people are still salty about cancellation more than a decade later. Also situations like Harry keeping Gwen in an emotionally abusive relationship (don’t leave me or I’ll go back to drugs/kill myself) are very adult themes. It didn’t talk down to kids, thus making it all ages.

"I got the thing on the thing, what, what do I win?" "You!" "I win me! That makes no sense."

You know I'm honestly surprised that since the launch of Disney plus there has been no attempt to start a new marvel animated universe with new animated series that are actually good. Honestly it's about time we get a new X-men animated series and even a new Fantastic four animated series. Or even a Doctor Strange animated series would be nice. Edit: this comment was made months before the renewal of X-men the animated series. I just want how Marvel games have a non mcu approach and that works for their universe because they aren't limited to what characters are available. I just want the same thing for an animated universe completely separate and not bound to the mcu for creative freedom.

I still remember the day I discovered that there would be no season 3 for this show. Words cannot describe the sheer disappointment I felt knowing that not only would one of my favorite shows not continue, but that all the loose ends and cliff hangers would not be followed up on. At the very least, it's nice to know that this show is still being talked about and well-regarded all these years later.

This is the definitive ANIMATED TV Spider-Man...

That 17 word joke convinced me to watch this entire show. Then I realized I knew the theme song by heart and never even seen 5 episodes. Talk about impact

The raimi movies inteoduced me to The character, but The Spectacular Spider-man made actually get why he's my favorite character in all of fiction, great video!

I see this show and cry lmaooo. Why don’t any of the movies just plagiarise it? It’s so beautiful

Fun Facts; 1. The creators confirmed that they never would have killed off Gwen Stacy in this show. 2. The show was initially planned to last for 65 episodes across 5 seasons, not including direct to dvd movies, similar to Batman Beyond Return of the Joker, where it could be PG-13. 3. By the end of the show, Peter was supposed to get together with MJ and marry her.

The definitive Peter Parker He’s literally perfect He’s not overly nice, he’s not a complete ass, his friendships are at stakes, his job is at stake, his popularity, his relationships, supervillains. Everything is full circle in this show and it’s great

Josh Keaton is the best Spider-Man

In an ideal world, 'Spectacular Spider-Man' would've ran for 4, or 5 seasons of 65, or more episodes.

This show still had so many more routes that it could've explored, I was so upset when it got cancelled.

I am so glad that this was my first introduction to Spiderman as a kid.

This is without a doubt the best animated version of everyone's favorite web-slinger. This was the one animated series that remain true to not just Spidey's roots but his character arc and struggles of being a hero. It really was a complete shame that it was cancelled so soon as the developers had big plans for this series after season 2 which we will never see. Despite this to me this will always be one of my favorite animated Marvel series.

I love how every few months we still get another review of this masterpiece

its sad that the show never had a third season

Another thing they changed in the show which actually was pretty understandable was the colour change for the Vulture's armour essentially the showrunners believed that there were too many Spider-Man villains who wore Green so they decided to change the colour scheme for the Vulture by giving him black and red armour which I think looks really cool

Still the best adaptation of Spider-Man there is. I hope we get a continuation one day. It deserves it.

Spectacular Spiderman, Avengers Earth's Mightiest Heroes and Wolverine and the X men were Marvel's version of the DC animated universe. Both have solid stories, both have interesting villians that show a reflection of their respective heroes, both were the definitive representation of their heroes respectively and I grew up with them and enjoy them equally.

Spectacular drew a a lot of inspiration from the Rami films, as well as from his classic adventures in the '60s. Those were the best stories he had and they're honestly the best ones to adapt. Seriously I never get tired of the master planner story line, or the symbiote storyline, they're just some of my favorites

A theme I noticed with this show is the theme of loneliness. One of the biggest examples is how he’s the lone superhero. While Spider-Man has some allies and Peter Parker has people he can rely on, as far as we know, he’s the only superhero against numerous supervillains in this universe. There’s no S.H.I.E.L.D. no Avengers, etc. He has no one to truly relate with, to share the burden of this double life. And while people can give him advice, it’s not the same as being mentored by Fury, Stark, Rogers, etc. He has to learn to keep it together on the go. Yet he does it anyways.

I knew the show had arcs but I never realized how they tied in with the villains and episode titles. Everything I learn of this show I just love, and an amazing review.

Its been a long while since I watched the show but spectacular spiderman has my favorite incarnation of venom. Seeing Eddy instead of being the enemy of Peter pretty much from the get go be his close friend that gets more distant from him as his role as spiderman messes up more of his life and eventually gets the push to full on villainy with the symbiote was really interesting to see.

As much as I love this show. 90s animated series was my introduction to spider-man, iron man, cap, blade, morbius, black cat, punisher, daredevil. I like that one a little more. Both are amazing!

I prefer 90’s over this show, butttt this show is still an absolute masterpiece and when people say it’s their favorite, I respect it

We need this Show to make a Comeback like right now.

This show was truly spectacular. I’m shocked Disney didn’t buy the rights for it in one of their shopping sprees. They’re missing out on a goldmine. Then again, Fox sat on the Deadpool movie for a decade and change, so I really shouldn’t be surprised

Even if it didn't last long, It most certainly made its mark as the definitive Spider-Man cartoon. Really gives meaning to the phrase quality over quantity.

This was the greatest Spider-Man series ever made! It was even better than the 90's animated series (and even that great one was cancelled)! The story, the characters, the animation, the voice acting, the accomplishments and struggles, it was all done incredibly well! Why in the world couldn't Disney and Sony work things out so it could have continued?! Seriously, to this day fans want this show to return! There needs to be a plan where all the original people who worked on it return to finish it they way the planned!

Cant believe people like the 90's series This is the best and most Spectacular (pon intended) series ever made

Every time I think about how this show got cancelled it makes me so incredibly sad. It defined such a large part of childhood.

my favorite moment from the entire show is ox humming the theme song in the elevator and shocker and ricochet just look at him like, "why bro". ox isnt wrong tho, even after years of first watching it id hum it to my self from time to time.

Josh Keaton is the Best Spider Man Since Tobey Maguire.

MCU should take notes of spec spidey for Tom Holland’s version, sure have the comedic relief but don’t forget the seriousness that this show does

I could have sworn this channel already reviewed Spec Spidey. My very own mandela effect lol

“It’s Spider-Man, don’t forget the hyphen.”

Josh Keaton is to Spider-Man what Kevin Conroy is to Batman.

The more I revisit the series, the more I want more! I’ll never get over this series getting cancelled!

This series is the best version of Spider-Man we have ever seen!

As someone who was born 2007 and is 13 now, I am so sad to see such a amazing and epic story with impressive feat end. I just glad I got to grew up watching the show, and in Australia they have it on Netflix so I watched it like 7-10 times by now

Spectacular! And I'm not just talking of the show.

Do you know why this show is good? It takes things one step at a time and doesn’t force anything right down our throats to quickly get from point A to B just like how the mcu Spider-Man movies did.

We got the last season of CW, maybe we’ll get lucky and Disney+ will give us more SS

The Spectacular Spider-Man will ALWAYS be the GREATEST adaptation of a Spider-Man story. Ever. I only wish Disney can allow Sony to continue this masterpiece!😭

This and the MTV Spiderman are my favorite iterations of the character

This show is way maturing and source material respecting than garbage Ultimate Spider-man. 90s Spider-man was also good just like the other 90s marvel cartoons.

Fun fact: The creator of the show, Greg Wiseman, wanted to start a new marvel universe stemming from his show spectacular Spider-Man. Similar to how they did with Batman the animated series, they would introduce marvel characters little by little to spin off their own respective shows. It was shot down because of the legal problems.

10:41 it's worth noting that later on in the comics Sally becomes a superhero known as Blue Bird

Besides the juggernaut of writing that make this series its 'spectacular' namesake, the animation team(s) definitely deserve praise for all the movement they were able to compose both subtle and grand. The fight scenes are an absolute pleasure to watch and like you said the simplistic style definitely lends itself to be more fluid and dynamic! I think it's the best I've ever seen Spider-Man's agility and movement depicted in animation and nothing within the realm comes close.

I ADORED this show as a kid, and I rewatched it from old dvds a couple of months ago. I still love this show to this day, and is one of 3 forms of media that still holds up 4 me from when I was younger (this, Lego Star Wars the complete saga, and clone wars). Until like a month ago I thought this was a good show, that no one had ever heard of. Now I know there’s a community out there, it’s heartwarming. Thank you for being here the spectacular community, in a period of time where I’ve had allot of social anxiety, mental exhaustion and burnout. Thank you

Spectacular Spider-Man is hands down one of the best cartoons ever and a great example of how to do long term story telling and how to adapt comic books to shows

And it's about damn time it gets a reboot. Well more like a continuation. I want to see it's story in full because we only got 40% of this masterpiece .

12:50 I would have loved to have seen that and possibly it would have been cool to have Eddie become less of a villain and more of an anti-hero especially when it came to Carnage and the whole revealing' that the Carnage symbiote is the offspring of the Venom symbiote

What really annoys me about this show is you could see where they were going He was going to rescue gwen from Harry but in the process destroy any prospect of romance, mj was probably going to discover his secret on her own and watch him and understand how great of a guy and hero he is by sacrificing his happiness for the city and fall in love with him, then he'd later find out and like her and the Last season would be spent developing their relationship but nooooooo. They canceled this masterpiece in the making... God

I'm still super mad that this amazing show got cancelled. 🤬 *flips table*

I loved this show! I remember my grandpa even buying me the dvd for this show. I was so sad to see it go away.

Something I think is worth mentioning is what happened to The Batman. The whole show was a pinnacle of what kids shows can/should be but it’s also notable that there was a visible difference in quality in the first two seasons and the last three, a trend that I think we’d all hate to see happen in spider man. Again, I love both shows because they’re amazing but it’s good for thought.

Spectacular Spiderman is an amazing series . Hopefully it returns one da y maybe after the Deal with Sony and Disney Plus

I remember two students who bullied me in middle school and I did nothing about it. Then one day, while on my way to my highschool, I saw those two students again and hated them to the core and tried to avoid them. Then I happen to run in to them despite trying to avoid them and they said hi to me. I was about to curse them out and talk shit at them but instead I swallowed my pride and just said hi back and said great to see you. I can never bring myself to talk down on those I hate so much because I always go by this psychological need to always do the right thing and show respect to even pieces of shit that don't deserve it despite me being shit on. It's hard. It's stuff like this that why I love and relate to Spider-Man so much.

Greg was able to get young justice back so im still holding out a sprinkle of hope to bring this show back.

Easily in my top 10 fav animated shows! i wish it had ran longer!

Take notes, MCU. 5:23 is how you mention Uncle Ben without showing the origin. Yes. You can actually include Uncle Ben without showing the origin.

“SPECTACULAR SPECTACULAR SPIDERMAN!” *spiderman getting his ass kicked*

I get chills every time i hear the “ ahhhhhh”

subbed. I was also an Australian child who was showered with this beauty of a show after coming home from school and tuning into Nickeloadeon

Even though we never got those next few seasons the ones we did get were genuinely SPECTACULAR and yes pun intended

If young justice got a new season after being canceled for a while, so can spectacular spider-man… hopefully….. maybe one day..

that gargoyle that you mention towards the end is a great example of chexovs gun

Great review and it was cool that you pulled out the details like the titles, arcs and moments in the show. The homages to the Lee/Ditko comics with various effects, especially in season 1 were a really nice touch too in this series.

4:56 this was the first scene of this show I ever saw as a kid. I didn't fully grasp it at the time but it did stick with when every I see discussions about "Is doing the right thing worth you're own suffering".

I’m really glad I rewatched this series during quarantine. This Was the Superior Spiderman Series

I remember every day looking for any update on season 3. I can’t believe it was over a decade!

This show was a Masterpiece.

I love spectacular Spider-Man it’s such a awesome and amazing show and it really breaks my heart we haven’t gotten a season 3 of this amazing show.

i really liked how this show just focus on spiderman without adding other marvel heroes, honestly i think spiderman is best alone

"Can I come in or do I have to break my own window?" Man this was the most Spider-Man that Spider-Man ever Spider-Man'd

6:17 speaking of which it's worth noting that Shocker in the show wasn't the original Herman Schultz but rather Jackson Brice who in the comics actually used an identity called Montana

Spectacular and PS4 Spider-Man are the best adaptations outside of comics in my opinion

as much as i want a season 3, the fact that with 2 seasons alone and this show has gotten so much love for years to come is more than enough for me

The rights to the spectacular Spider-Man belong to Sony so Disney can't put it on Disney plus or make more seasons on there if they were to continue the show it would have to be on sonys behave to introduce the idea and work together on it idk maybe they can work together on more seasons one day .

I love this show so much. Thanks now i have to rewatch it again for the 5th time😂

MY FAVORITE SUPERHERO SHOW OF ALL TIMME!!!!!

If the amazing spider man 3 is possible, i feel like more seasons for spectacular spider man is possible as well

I couldn’t agree with you more!! (Intervention was the best episode to show how Peter battled venom! And everything else listed in this video of course) I only wish we got more of this iteration of Spider-Man! Definitely my favorite

Greg Weismann has said that the show wouldn't have killed Gwen. A decision I kinda like, sure her death is iconic but she doesn't need to die for Peter to grow whenever she's used

The king has returned!

You should do a Spider-Man reboot fancast and your idea for a new film series like how you did X-Men.

Cool review man :) hope you see this I remember watching this on 4kids along with Sonic X

What Could Have Been: The main showrunner, Greg Weisman, had rough plans for a total of sixty-five episodes, which was thirty-nine more than what we got. -The Scorpion, The Hobgoblin, Mister Negative, Hydro-Man, and Carnage were slated to appear in the third season of the series. Morris Bench and Cletus Kasady both had brief cameos in the second season, with the former being voiced by Bill Fagerbakke. Mac Gargan is also mentioned as a private investigator who works for Jameson, and fans have had fun picking out extras in the background who might have been him; this is encouraged by Weisman himself, who indicated that minor characters like Tombstone's driver were intended as secret cameos. -Weisman also expressed interest in using The Kingpin, as a Big Bad on the show, but was unable to due to the fact that, while the character originated as a Spider-Man villain, Marvel now has Fisk officially classified as the arch-enemy of Daredevil, whom Sony did not have the rights to. As a result, the character Tombstone was used as a Suspiciously Similar Substitute. -There were also rumors about Maximum Carnage being adapted as well as The Clone Saga with Miles Warren gained full control over Curt Connors' lab at the end of Season 2. Building off the plans for Carnage to appear, Weisman stated that wanted to attempt a Venom spin-off series had the show reached a third season. a) In addition to the Venom spin-off, Weisman talked about the possibility of expanding his version of the Marvel Universe with other shows following other teams. One idea was to introduce Hobie Brown as the Prowler and have him team up with Silver Sable (and possibly Venom) as an anti-hero team. He also talked about integrating other Marvel characters and spinning them off into their own shows. This included the Human Torch (leading to a Fantastic Four spin-off), Captain America and the Hulk (leading to an Avengers spin-off), and Beast and Cyclops (leading to an X-Men spin-off). Part of the trade-off with not being able to use the Kingpin was that Weisman considered making a Daredevil spin-off. -Weisman's aspirations also included finishing the series with Peter's graduation from High School, then doing four straight-to-DVD movies, covering Peter's college years. -Emily Osborn was to have been given a larger role and was to be voiced by Marina Sirtis. -Christopher Yost was up for the executive producer job on the series, but they went with Weisman instead. Weisman also planned to make Mary Jane to become Peter's main love interest eventually but he wanted to imitate their romance in the comics and their parallel character development, whereby both of them would mature with Romantic False Lead (Mark Allen for MJ, Liz and Gwen for Peter) before starting their relationship for real. -Weisman said that he had no plans whatsoever to kill Gwen Stacy during the course of his show and admitted to being disturbed by fan comments and from other co-workers about when "he's going to kill her" when he noted that the nature of a children's superhero show precluded that kind of content. He admitted that were the show successful enough to create some home video movies (a la Batman Beyond: Return of the Joker) he would have tried going for PG-13 content but at the same time he didn't want to kill his version of Gwen.

I loved this series.

I just finished watching the show about a week or two before this video came out, and now I want more

A spectacular show deserves a spectacular video

12:34 not to mention Morrie Bench appears in one of the episodes so it is a possibility that we could have gotten Hydro-Man in season 3 as well

I remember watching this almost everyday after school

Awesome video! This show is and will always be the GOAT!!!

A actual in depth review, for once.

''I got the thing on the thing. What do I win?'' That's one of the funniest things I've heard any Spider-Man say

"cus shes got a brain..?" *"E X A C T L Y"*
