Unlimited’s artstyle is underrated as hell, and the suit is favorite Spidey suit period. Sucks that Marvel doesn’t really acknowledge this show. Not even the game with the exact same name had the signature costume.

I wish Rino Romano could've voiced Spider-Man more. He was the first Spider-Man I ever heard and I always really liked him

I actually love Spiderman unlimited. It's super unique and the whole vibe and aesthetic of the show is pretty cool. I'll never forget it.

I personally believe that TNAS deserves a second chance more than anything else. It's mature tone and bold choices allows the show to tell the stories it wishes to tell without being forced to hide behind the censors. Plus it's not everyday where you see Peter depicted in his college years, which is honestly very refreshing nowadays. If given a second chance with a higher budget and more creative freedom, I have no doubt that it could stand as one of the best superhero shows ever.

TNAS is seriously underrated. I do think it went a bit too extreme in terms of showcasing Parker's bad luck with everything especially with the two twins, but it was pretty cool seeing a more adult-oriented Spider-Man story as a one off It also did the whole "Max Dillon being an outcast" arc considerably better than TASM2. That episode fucked me up as a kid

The early 2000's were a goldmine for Spider-Man. The PS1 games, Raimi movies, Spider-Man Unlimited, TNAS, The JMS comics. Seriously a golden era. EDIT: Also the Ultimate Spider-Man comics.

Spider-Man‘s suit from Spider-Man unlimited holds up to be one of the coolest badass animated suits ever. Brings the best mix of Spider-Man 2099 and iron spider, and it would look so great in action a little bit more in combat.

I like Unlimited. Call me crazy. But I love the dark tone and cyberpunk look. I Even like how weird and monstrous Venom and Carnage were.

Even as a kid I found Unlimited to be a bit of a slog to watch, it didn't stop me from watching it though. And I remember with TNAS I was flabbergasted when Spidey said "damn." It gave me a feeling of, "this show isn't for kids" so I felt really cool watching it.

The stupidest thing about calling the animal people “Beastials” is that they already had a name. “The New Men”. A name that thematically fits their place in this show’s society. Then normal humans are the old version of people, but these ones are the new version. Bing bang boom.

TNAS was the most mature Spider Man show that really felt like the creators had freedom to explore concepts that most other Spidey shows wouldn't touch. And the villains were definitely at their most terrifying. Especially Electro and Lizard.

Crazy how TNAS is being looked backed at nowadays with the apprecition it deserves, especially because of how mature and edgy it was for a Spider-Man story and got me exposed to dark superhero stories as a kid, also I agree with NPH being one of the better Spidey actors, kinda weird he only voiced him in two projects, he has the charisma and talent for it. Also Rino Romano is another voice actor that is crimially underrated as Spidey (and Batman in The Batman) for he was one of the first voices besides CDB in the 90s TAS to hear as Spidey.

I loved the TNAS and its mature take on the characters. As for Unlimited, I would've loved to see Marvel go with their original idea (it was gonna be a Spider-Man 2099 cartoon). Considering the 2099 universe had so many characters like Doom, Hulk, Ghost Rider, it would've been interesting to see. (Apparently, they didn't want to do it because of running the risk of being compared to Batman: Beyond, but I think it would've been cool).

21:59 fun fact: in the Brazilian dub of TNAS, they called her Felicia Hardy, so when I was younger I thought she was going to appear later in the series as Black Cat

Another fun fact about Spidey's VA from Spider-Man Unlimited: he also voices Luis Sera from Resident Evil 4! You can definity tell with his counter Goblin voice

Venom's shape-shifting abilities in the comics are actually pretty impressive. The biology of the host and symbiote become one, so technically Eddie isn't inside the symbiote, their bodies become one. I guess thats also how it mimics its hosts abilities. I think the mouth closing around Eddie's head was just such a genius idea for a character transformation that they never stopped doing it. I think it depends how well the host is bonded with the symbiote though.

Neil Patrick Harris is personally one of my fave Spidey voice actors,I hope he voices Spidey again some time

Tnas is incredible, a truly interesting take on the character

The suit from Spider-Man Unlimited is still one of my favorite Spidey suits of all time and I could totally see Mayday, Benjy, or other future generations of the web head using that sort of suit after decades of accumulated experience and resources.

I always though that Unlimited versions of Venom and Carnage had no Brock or Cassidy inside but instead was the simbiotes working by themselves

I had the DVD set for TNAS as a kid and lost track of how many times I watched it. I've never really understood why network executives would just can shows that do fairly well to focus on other demographics. I get wanting to broadly shift towards other demographics, but if you have a successful show, why not just let it keep going until it falls off in ratings or the show runners are done with it? It's not like the rise of one trend inherently kills another one, especially if they're in as different of markets as "superhero cartoon aimed at older audience" and "reality show."

Rino Romano would voice another underrated adaption of a well known character, The Batman ‘04 series. P.S. We can agree on one thing on Spider-Man Unlimited, it’s better than Avengers United They Stand.

20:42 Master Chief: I'm proud of you, kid.

Honestly I want some more Neil Patrick Harris as Spider-Man. He is a good actor and needs more love for his voice acting.

Finally someone talking about the CGI series! I do wish that series was more popular and got to live on much longer, it was one of the most unique Spider-Man franchises, and I loved it so much growing up especially. I also can't deny, the CGI Harry is my favorite version of the Osborne character too, I just badly wished it had the chance to continue for how good it did get I think.

Man, I'm still bummed we never got a proper ending to Unlimited. I still freaking love that show.

Both shows have very unique designs and kick-ass music. The New Animated Series theme is something I never skip when watching it.

I actually liked Spider-Man The New Animated Series and I still have the DVD too. It’s probably the most faithful adaptation of Peter Parker we’ve ever seen despite some changes due to executive meddling by MTV. At least until Spectacular came out. Unlimited is a strange case but not unenjoyable. That’s all I can say about it.

I remember watching unlimited anxiously waiting for Spidey to return to regular earth whenever this weird arc was finished, failing to recognize it was the premise

The fact that Spider-Man Unlimited has more in common with Roy Thomas's Warlock than any Spider-Man comic is really funny to me

I was born 2006 but the 60's spiderman show was what I grew up with weirdly. I had every season on DVD and would constantly rewatch them. such a classic show

I used to watch both of these, unlimited was cool and I enjoyed it but TNAS was just so... enthralling. I loved everything about it, and still do. There’s actually a petition for a season 2 of the series, and Mainframe seems on board. There’s even people making a fan made ‘season 2.’ So yeah. Spider-Man: The New Animated Series is incredible

Whenever I think if Peter's brilliant cover-up when he leaves for Counter Earth I just picture EVERYONE immediately realizing he and Spidey are the same. I can just see MJ sitting at home, disappointed in her husband. Cuz now she has to deal with in oncoming paparazzi, and the series of phone calls from family members and friends

1:18-1:34: THANK YOU!!! I hate it when people call Spider-Man Unlimited a sequel to Spider-Man: The Animated Series, there are so many obvious reason why it's not: The different artstlye, the characters having different voices, Venom Carnage and Mary Jane not being trapped in dimensional limbo, Venom and Carnage being friends rather than enemies, Venom and Carnage being able to shapeshift with their human hosts ect. Look it up on the Marvel Database and you'll see.

7:41 I mean to be fair, Counter-Earth and this concept has existed since the 70’s so it can’t be blamed on the show specifically. I mean in some iterations there aren’t any humans at all.

I wish the animated series came back...Neil pat did a good spiderman, the characters were somewhat relatable and the 3d cellshade still looks good...well for me, I wish it wasn't canceled.

Rino Romano is honestly the most underrated Spidey voice actor ever. I wish he had been the voice of Amazing Spidey in Shattered Dimensions instead of Neil Patrick Harris

Beast Wars is easily my all-time favorite Transformers anything. You're one of my favorite youtubers. Please, please make a Beast Wars video. Or two. Or seven.

I was never big on Unlimited but the 2003 show was phenomenal. I always wished that ending could be resolved

"Spider-Man: The New Animated Series" surprisingly has one of the best (IMHO) and most _haunted_ versions of Dr. Connors/The Lizard; the villain's design in the series is awesomely monstrous, and I feel Rob Zombie successfully manages to believably convey that Connors is a genuine scientist who was wronged through his vocal performance. And THAT'S how "Spider-Man: Unlimited" ends (I never saw the final episode)? Huh, it more or less predicted "Web of Shadows (among other things)."

Both show’s intros haven’t aged all that well but they’re both still pretty awesome. Especially unlimited. Edit: hey, hey I never said I didn’t like them. again the musics great.

I barely remember "Spider-Man: Unlimited" when it aired on TV. But after hearing about it and seeing a few videos talking about it, I do want to check it out. I do remember watching "Spider-Man: The New Animated Series" on MTV. At first, I thought the show was pretty decent. But after a while, I started to like it less and less the more I watched it. I don't know why but it ended up rubbing me the wrong way in terms of the tone, certain storylines, and some of the characters' actions. Then, when it was canceled, I didn't even bat an eye. I respect those who say that this is a criminally underrated Spider-Man cartoon series and it really was impressive for the time it aired. However, I don't like it at all.

I really loved both of these series, but especially TNAS. It was so cool and dark. Electro's death was a real high point. I watched through with my daughter and she was (being only young) was actually moved to tears. The story hit really well. I would have loved a continuation...

So, the MTV show was one of the first times I was ever exposed to the character and world of Spider-Man. It wasn’t my first exposure, that was either some DVD collections of the Fox Kids show or the first two Raimi movies (I can never remember which), but I think The New Animated Series stuck with me a little more because it was never praised to the same degree as the other two. This that little niche thing that I and maybe a handful of other people knew about because it was kinda bizarre in hindsight. I mean, a Spider-Man show with rather grim stories and themes? Who wants that when you’ve got him making jokes and fighting a sand guy in the movies? And don’t get me wrong, I love a cheerful Spider-Man as much as the next guy, the Raimi movies and other cartoons are praised for a reason, but… idk, it’s nice getting to look back on that OTHER weird show and acknowledging that yeah, that’ll never happen again. Anyway, all this to say, I think it’s really cool to see somebody else acknowledge this amazing little show that I still hold dear with the same passion he’d give to any other thing he’d review. Thanks Xavier.

Definitely the most bizarre and out there takes in terms of Spider-Man shows .

Reboot,Beast Wars,Beavis & Butthead, Futurama, and OG MAX STEEL!? Xavier, you may not be a 90’s kid, but you certainly have the heart of one. RESPECT!✊🥂

The 2003 series was my absolute jam back then dude. My dad introduced me and my younger brother to it and I've loved it since.

Unlimited's artstyle is probably my favorite of any Superhero cartoon. It's pretty slick and the harsh black shading is pretty underrated.

this version of Harry reminds me of Johnny Storm who also had his natural connection with Pete

A subtle thing they did with Electro, if you notice when Spidey tackles him on the ground, Electro starts to looks more skeletal and weak. Since he is touching the ground, his electricity is being grounded so he is getting weaker.

dear godzillamendoza, i only discovered your channel fairly recently but i must say im glad i did. This channel is awesome and i"m amazed you've been doing this for over half a decade and weren't even out of high school when you started and are now married. Time sure flies, i only wish i had know about your channel sooner.

Honestly for what they had to work with, they made truly amazing shows. I really enjoyed both of these shows and the world they’re in. Unlimited is so different in a way that while not perfect really got my attention in a stand out idea. TNAS was more mature, super unique style and just had an atmosphere that felt right for the world it’s trying to create.

I love TNAS and how unique it is. I'm super excited that it's finally going on Disney+ so I hope it gets more exposure and fans Also, TNAS is the reason why I hear Neil Pat as the voice of Spider-Man when I read comics

You did a fantastically stunning job on this double review dude! I love how you challenged the critics of both shows and made your own strong defenses. I also got some great laughs from this video, seriously you could maybe make your own Spidey comedy routine if you wanted to. Incidentally that 94 fantastic Four movie, do you or someone else know a decent link for that on KZfaq? I'd like to see it for myself at least once. Anyways very cool third chapter man! Great job bringing more attention to Unlimited and TNAS!

Unlimited always felt like X-Men and Exo Squad for some reason

I would like another adult animated Spider-Man series specifically based off Jms and Paul Jenkins runs. Also animated adaptations of other stories from the comics.

Really wished that they finished Unlimited. Really appreciated the story and it really only needed about 5 or 6 more episodes.

15:27, with how you infrequently reference the Sonic series, I'd like to see you talk about your opinions on the game. Also nice video, Spider-Man Unlimited's artstyle is the biggest saving grace.

I remember watching & enjoying CGI Spider-man as a kid when I got it on DVD. I still enjoy it as an adult, especially now that I have an understanding of specific parts of the show that I didn't have when I was younger. Between that one and what I've watched of the original 90s Spider-man cartoon(not Unlimited), the CGI show has definitely aged better for me.

I honestly can't wait to hear what you talk about with the NEXT series. We've heard you talk about it before in some of your older videos and you even appeared on Browntable to talk about one subject on the matter. But having a full video talking about one of MY favorite Spidey cartoons out there will definitely be a treat when it comes out. Can't wait! 😁

I actually liked the MTV Spidey cartoon i wish it had a longer run Unlimited was forgettable.

We also can't forget that STNAS is also connected to the X-men movies because pete mentions them in one episode

I hope we get to see the fan made Season 2 series eventually be finished because I have been looking forward to see it since it was announced.

I read through your comics and they're pretty great! Imitating the style of the cartoon show and trying to tie up loose ends, a shame the comic making process is so lengthy but that's just its nature, still, it's good stuff.

Spider-Man Unlimited is actually my favorite since I can see the whole concept of the story, having Spider-Man Peter Park go to the future like in 2099 and trying to find a way back home, sadly the last episode couldn't been made and it sucks that it's a lost episode that will never get made ever again unless Disney+ gets all the actors and make a movie of the last episode but I highly doubt Disney would even consider having their own Spider-Man Cartoon Movie since they've failed doing the Spider-Man 2018 show, but everything about this show that I love will always be known to me as one of the greatest old Spider-Man shows I've watch being a prequel to the original Spider-Man TAS and that opening Music of Spider-Man Unlimited is the best one

The problem with Peters plan that you brought up at 6:13, because Spideys suit can function when its off of Peter so all of them could have actually gotten off.

Spider-Man: TAS had to be left with the loose end of Mary Jane still being lost somewhere in a dimensional limbo, but also ended the series on a very high note with Peter literally saving all reality from being destroyed by an insane Carnage-possessed version of himself, while the final scene at least leaves viewers with the reassurance that Peter and MJ will be reunited again. And if that alone wasn't enough to end the series on, Spidey got to meet Stan Lee! Unlimited’s final episode ends the series with symbiotes raining down on Counter-Earth and left viewers with a much bigger crisis that they never got to see resolved, so if anything TAS was able to be given a much better and more satisfying end for a "cliffhanger". Kind of makes me glad in hindsight that I never really got to watch much of Unlimited as a kid if that was how the series ended.

2003 isn’t the best show but it was my first Spider-Man show, I still enjoy it to this day and wish it could’ve continued. The actors did a great job, the action was fun, I loved the art style, and the stories were a good time. Unlimited on the other hand, I like the costume and Peter himself but that’s really it. I saw it after 2003, Spectacular, and the Animated series show but I couldn’t really get into it even when I wanted to. I hope that suit shows up in Spider-Man 2 and gets more exposure like we want. Perhaps we’ll see it return someday big time, but I’m not holding my breath

To be fair, "Unlimited" did kinda justify why Venom and Carnage looked and acted differently with the whole Synoptic plot point, implying that at some point this Synoptic had gone dormant due to human and Bestial civilization and due to all the dimension-hopping Brock and Kasady were doing its programming reawakened with a vengeance and suppressed their personality differences in favour of subservience to itself.

I remember watching the MTV show when it came to UK Netflix, I wasn't tooo into it but it's probably one of my favourites nowadays. Like you said the maturity without overdoing it is super refreshing, and Neil Patrick Harris is pretty damn good

The MTV show could have used more street level characters (Daredevil, Punisher, Luke Cage, bullseye, Jigsaw)

Fun fact : I actually loved Spider-Man : TNAS when I was growing up and Spider-Man : Unlimited is one of my favorites too! 😄

The fact we almost got a spiderman 2099 animated series and didn't was a major fumble

A parallel universe of the nineties Spidey universe will always sound amazing to me.

Can I just say that Neil Patrick Harris is one of my favorite voices for Spider-Man and Peter Parker. He’s right up there with Josh Keaton in my opinion.

TNAS Is my all-time favorite adaptation of Spider-Man next to spectacular. I really enjoyed the more darker take of Peter Parker and the villains

Nice video, I have always loved the Unlimited suit and would love to see it in the future again. I watched both of these series and really liked both and wished they were fully finished and didn't end on cliffhangers. Love all the videos you create and can't wait to see what's next.

Wish there was more of the MTV Spiderman series. Like you mentioned Harry Osborn, Peter Park and Mary Jane Watson's character dynamic works very well.

When the MTV spiderman was streaming on crave, it was in order which is where I watched it in full. Saw it on there and had nostalgic flashbacks to watching it on YTV

Rino Romano is one of the most underrated voice actor of spidey i always think his kind of perfect for a adult spiderman Neil Patrick Harris is also great imo

Loved this show as a kid. Felt like Spider-man was in an actual warzone.

It's hilarious to me how in Spider-Man Unlimited's opening the bite that gave Peter his powers just randomly has an atomic explosion over it

i grew up on spider-man unlimited and spider-man tnas bc of late 2000s early 2010s netflix. i am very happy to see them being acknowledged outside of obscure tweets

TNAS has my favorite version of Connors, in that unlike other incarnations he seems more intense, holding a grudge over what Oscorp's weapons did to his arm. He has some standards, but Curt seems more accepting of the Lizard as an outlet for his vendettas, giving him more agency and ambiguity that I actually think is more interesting than his usual depictions.

I've been watching High Guardian Spice lately and I was unprepared to see Audu Paden as a co-executive producer in this series. What a connection. I watched both Unlimited and the MTV show when I was younger and I was kind of indifferent to the former, but the latter felt interesting to me. I think the only episodes I didn't get to watch were the season finale ones, though. So, seeing people talk about what happened in them is wild.

I absolutely loved unlimited as a child, and it marked me to this day as a child that loved drawing in the way they made those shadows and the use of black in the characters. I love the stile they used to this day!

If Spider-Man 2 did end with him throwing away his suit would get people pretty hype to see what in the next movie actually when you think about it

I like how venom had the voice for ryuk from death note in the dub

TNAS still remains my favorite show to date, the darker more mature tone makes it unique among all the others, plus the cel shaded look still looks really cool to me even today.

He didn't even mention Connors/Lizard was voiced by Rob FUCKING Zombie, that's probably my favorite fact about this show

It's a treat seeing you talk about these shows, as I hold MEGA nostalgia for both. I watched spiderman unlimited at a very young age and the new animated series (even though its years and years old) a bit later in life. It's strange cuz I have a vivid memory of it being night and I went to my parents bedroom where there was two tvs on the wall (for some reason) and like a screensaver or menu for the unlimited show was on both. I think it was the menu for the dvd back when dvds were still the next thing to vhs. also, say what you want about these shows, but you cant deny they both had kickass theme songs.

Rino Romano is great, he's very underated as a voice actor. He's not only been Spider-man but Batman as well.

MCD was a nice choice for Fisk, back then we didn't care about race, we just want a big guy actor to play him. Nowadays you'd hear alot of flack

God seeing some recognition for the mtv spiderman is so vilifying thank you so much for this blast to the past

So happy you made a review on tnas

Another kick-ass video Xavier! Keep up the good work, also I don't know if you knew this, but there's a fan project being worked on for a season 2 of the MTV series!

TNAS was my favorite Spider-Man cartoon when I was younger! My parents didn't really care about the content of these episodes cause it's Spider-Man how could it be mature? So they got me the DVD's and needless to say "The Party" kinda traumatized me... But other than that I still really enjoyed it and liked how different it was from the movies. I oughta really watch it again, been too long.

TNAS or MTV Spiderman as me and my friends called it, hooked me immediatly. I saw 1 Episode and directly bought the DVD. Nice to see it gettin some love.

I did enjoy Spider-Man Unlimited back in the day. And loved how the game costume kept the invisibility mechanic.

Honestly I think Spider-Man unlimited gets to much hate, I feel like it’s a very bizarre and out there idea and in addition has the best Spider-Man intro no 🧢
