ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN (2012) Great Power - 1x1 dir. Alex Soto & Tim Eldred.

[brown-spider]

The mass consensus seems to be that Spectacular Spider-Man is the best spidey tv show for characterization of Peter and Spider-Man, but one of my favorite things about spidey is his relationship with new york and the way he becomes a role model. Rn its rlly hard to see Spectacular Peter as any sort of role model, and the story is more focused on either supervillains or high school struggles. Even at his most petty/obnoxious, variations of spidey still at least comes off as what kids would see as a Cool Big Brother if nothing else, and thats what im missing from the show. Idk if he matures in a later season or something but rn i feel like im watching a 12 yr old with a job fhskdb

So sci we know how you got into DP, and now we know how you got into Spidey, how did you get into Spideypool?

bad answer

I really need to do more reports regarding what I've been watching…

I recently finished watching Ultimate Spider-Man from 2012. It starts off kind of annoying, since it ditches the whole "Spider-Man doing his own thing" pretty early. It also kind of tanks in the middle of Season 3, but I'll get to that.

The initial premise is "what if S.H.I.E.L.D. made a team of teenage heroes and trained them to their 'ultimate' potential?" Well, Nick Fury does exactly that, tossing an eclectic team of Spider-Man, Nova, White Tiger, and Iron Fist head-first into training and being super. I wasn't on-board at first, since I kind of prefer how other series did Spider-Man and his day-to-day life, but it didn't take long for the other characters to grow on me.

Nova is a dork. White Tiger is pretty cool. But Iron Fist? He's simply the best of the team, aside from Spidey. He's the best of both a "surfer dude" and "zen martial artist" and is often the voice of neutrality when problems within the team pop up. He has his issues, of course, but he's just a joy to have around!

So, around the middle of Season 3, the series shifts dramatically and starts focusing almost exclusively on the "Web Warriors" of Iron Spider, Kid Arachnid, Agent Venom, and Scarlet Spider. And… the show quickly goes downhill from that point on. There are still a few good episodes here and there, but the shift to the "spider-clones" just makes for a really uninteresting and unappealing show, to me. Why they thought this was a good idea is beyond me. 'Cause it wasn't.

Anyway… while it's not as absolutely amazing as Spectacular Spider-Man or even Spider-Man (2016), it has its charms. For example, it absolutely loves… loves… to make shout-outs to Spider-Man and His Amazing Friends from the 1980s. I was kind of surprised Iceman and Firestar didn't show up at some point, even if just for a cameo. They did bring back the worst villain from that series: Swarm, but made it way more interesting, so there's that. Beetle is there, too, though I don't think he originated from Amazing Friends. I digress, though.

Flaws aside, it's a pretty decent watch and I'd recommend it. Just don't let this very strange interpretation of Dr. Octopus turn you away too hard. It's… unique.

day 60 of drawing spider-man until beyond the spider-verse comes out

[flamegobrrrr]

deciding to watch ultimate spider-man was. certainly a choice that i made. i love and hate this show at the same time. the moment i finish im gonna rewatch it. it focuses too much on the action and bad guys for me but damn when i get those little scraps of friendship it makes my next 5 minutes. the fact that im on season 4 of 4 kills me but at the same time im annoyed with the direction they chose to go. love hate relationship with media is the best way to consume it tbh

FULL EPISODE: The Man Show S1E1

You’re Dam Right.

[cwtchartsworld]

I read comics (young avengers accurately), watch "ultimate Spider-Man" tv show and read fanfiction on Ao3, all day.

This is how I face this horrible period. I hope it passes soon...

For now I look for comfort in this things.

[pxparkerr]

would probably be something like this:

(from Amazing Spider-Man 2014 issue #11)

What would happen if MCU Peter met Miles? Cause tbh I think they'd become friends right away. They are just so alike, and aghhh!

[radiobyers]

in honour of this incredible byler analysis, here are my personal favourite examples of “playing cyrano” in popular films & tv shows:

friends - chandler & kathy

when joey gives his girlfriend kathy a rare copy of her favourite book, kathy realises that chandler must have bought it for her & falls for him instead.

it/it chapter two - ben & beverly

ben writes beverly a poem & leaves it in her backpack. when beverly finds it, she assumes that it was written by her crush, bill. she kisses bill but 27 years later, she finds out that ben wrote the poem & falls in love with him.

spider-man (2002) - peter & mj

this next one is unorthodox & not the best example, but it still follows the basics of the cyrano de bergerac plot line. the insecure protagonist fuels the relationship between the handsome love interest & the woman he loves. however, in this case, they’re both the same man. mary jane falls for spider-man after he rescues her, but ultimately, she realises that she is in love with peter & confesses her love to him — without even realising that he is spider-man!

cyrano de bergerac - cyrano & roxanne

in modern day telling’s, this trope is usually depicted as a nerd aiding the relationship between a jock & the girl he loves. here is how the original cyrano de bergerac love story goes:

in every example of this trope, roxanne (mike) falls for the man (will) who is orchestrating the relationship between her & her partner (mileven). there is no alternative route because this trope is used to convince the audience to root for the primary couple (byler).

if you haven’t read the reddit post linked above, go read it!! it’s well thought out & written brilliantly. props to tumblr user: byers-bowlcut for posting it on reddit. the hatred for byler posts on there can be hilariously intense.

update* - the post was reported & taken down from reddit. it’s back up now, so if you can, please go upvote it!!

My favourite thing EVER is the little sub fandom that’s currently all of my tiktok fyp of Peter Parker in Gotham.

Like- I could go on for hours about how amazing theses fics are, but even on a sentimental level it’s so fucking cool to see.

Spider-Man (and the MCU in general) was literally my entire childhood. Ultimate Spider-Man? Avengers Assemble? Earth’s Mightiest Heroes? Little six year old me was drawing fanart before I even knew what fanart WAS. Andrew Garfield? #1 Celebrity crush growing up. The Marvel Cinematic Universe? I have my walls covered in posters, my laptop wallpaper is that one Cap vs Thanos’ army scene from endgame and I have an infinity gauntlet lamp on my bedside table.

Recently though, like October 2022, I’ve been obsessed with the batfam and DC in general. Learning as much as I can about the comics, watching all the CW tv shows (including titans) and all the movies. Hell- I’ve been watching shows like Young Justice (which was another childhood show), Teen Titans (03) + the tie-in comics for both, the Justice League animated series, and so many other that I’m blanking on.

It’s so fucking cool to see people who love Spider-Man and Marvel find these fics and start asking how to get into DC and vice versa. Like- humans are so fucking cute man idk T°T

Being a Spider-Man fan is great because you will never know everything about that guy. There's just so many versions and iterations of him, especially in comics and TV.

I got a Spider-Man sticker set and I didn't even recognize one of the characters and googled it—it's Spider-Man in his homemade suit from the 2017 animated show. Like my bad, I only watched the Spectacular Spider-Man show and Ultimate Spider-Man show this year, plus whatever crunchy animation I found as a kid. Clearly I'm underperforming!

At least I rest assured he's such a cash cow that Marvel will never stop the Spider-Man content. Bro can't even go one year without a new television production 😭 let him rest !!!

Started reading 'Your friendly Neighbourhood Spider-man'

And Nico Minoru is on the like second pannel?!?

Is this a Runaways resurgence we are seeing in the year of our lord 2024, first Ultimate Xmen now this!

Also this looks to be a mix of MCU and original content due to young Aunt May and Nico not being in LA like in the Runaways TV show (which is indead cannon to the MCU).
