Okay there are many things wrong with this series. This is definitely not the Spider-Man series i was hoping for. I can tell you why.
1. Its not a comic adaption and lack of comic characters
Okay why do they even bother making a series that takes place after the blockbuster Spider-Man movie? I mean sure its great and wonderful but why make a series of it. There are hardly any villains and supporting cast from the comics. And because of MTV and their stupid rule of not having any adult characters there is little JJJ and Curt Conners and Robbie Robertson, MJ's father and or course Aunt May weren't even part of the series. And don't get me started on the villains. Why made such stupid villains while you can have those cool ones from the comics. Okay so we can't have Green Goblin because of the movie and Doc Ock, Sandman & Venom are a no no but why can't they use villains like Shocker, Rhino or even Mysterio. They only classic villain they have here are Kraven the best villain here sadly, Kingpin who is portrayed very badly despite being voiced by MCD, Electro who was quite good, Lizard who looks nothing like the original and i don't even count Silver Sable as a classic villain.
2. Aimed at the wrong audience
Okay if you want a series about a classic hero like Spidey there are only two markets that you should aim for, The Kids and the Core Fans. Kids love the fights, the action and of course the hero and Core Fans love the villains, the stories used, the supporting cast and the everyman hero. Along with that there is only one market you should avoid at all cost, the MTV Crowd. I mean seriously WHY MTV? They don't even care about book characters they only care about the movie. And they are not even interested in this new series which is why it gotten cancelled mostly because it was aired in 2003 and X2 was the most popular movie back then meaning that they lost interest in character and whatever MTV says is cool or boring their lemmings will always agree.
3. Cell shaded animation
Exactly why is it that people don't like traditional animation anymore? Ther is absolutely no reason to make a Spider-Man series computer-animated. The animation is not bad but its not good either. Why use those damn computers when pencils and inks are your tools FOR GODS SAKE!!!!
There i said. The only thing i actually find interesting about this show is the violence and Spidey. As a fan of the character i say thank goodness we are rid of this rubbish and we are going to have a new Spidey DTV series next year. Take my word for it if you are a fan of the character go see the 90's series.
