I wasn't that keen on the first clip, but the recent 2 piqued my curiosity.

 

[Dali]

New clip: Marvel's Spider-Man Origin Short #1

I'm really liking the look of this! The animation is surprisingly fluid and the character designs look great.

Ewwwww... he swallowed it.

 

[Feltrol]

This looks interesting!

 

[Sephzilla]

Good lord the art on the backgrounds are hideous.

I miss Spectacular Spider-Man so much

Same.

 

[Permanently A]

I hate the Korra/Voltron art style with a passion so I'm skipping this.

Korra and Voltron actually have backgrounds

 

[RedHill]

Those jokes are pretty eye roll worthy. I don't get what they're trying to go for here. There doesn't appear to be any heart in this, just "action cartoon bot 3000." It looks worse than Ultimate imo. Not a fan of the art either. Thank god for young justice coming back. Superhero animation isn't looking too hot.

 

[cyress8]

Why is the show missing shadows. Looks very flat.

Ditto. I binge-watched that a few months ago, great show. Loved the opening theme song too...

 

[DangerMouse]

Haha, I used to be a bit of a Cowboy Bebop obsessive, so I sort of have an ingrained ability to detect Steve Blum's voice wherever it can usally be found. It's quite distinctive as voice actors go.

Yep, always love hearing him in stuff.

Korra and Voltron actually have backgrounds

This. And often stunningly gorgeous ones too, to go with the great animation and artwork.
I still regularly throw on my Korra blu-rays.

 

[MartyStu]

Maybe it has to do with lowered expectations, but this looks like fun. Certainly better than pretty much all the current Marvel Cartoons.

 

[Penguin]

The voice cast and some char designs

Marvel's #SpiderMan" premieres on Saturday, August 19 at 7AM EDT

 

[dcelw540]

My god what the fuck is going on with doctor octopus?

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

My god what the fuck is going on with doctor octopus?

Conan O'Brien got fat, built mechanical tentacles and decided to remain in VR forever.

 

[Bronx-Man]

The art style of every Spider-Man cartoon is doomed to get worse and worse until eventually it looks like a spin-off of 12 oz. Mouse.

 

[Platy]

Jackal ? Really ?

Spoiler

or should I say "Reilly ?" ;D

My god what the fuck is going on with doctor octopus?

[Snaku]

Im getting Spectacular vibes.

 

[ZeoVGM]

Interesting that they're focusing on Jackal as a bad guy.

And I had no idea Miles was in this.

These character designs look great.

 

[Syphon Filter]

These character designs look great.

nah they look like shit, especially the enemies.

 

[George Oscar Bluth II]

The face that there's zero shading on most characters is really throwing me off.

 

[Prompto]

This is new footage right?

I'll give you Doc Ock, don't know anything about Jackal to really form an opinion.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Current Black Widow voicing Gwen?
Absolutely love her voices but im not sure for Gwen.

 

[sense]

It is kinda crazy that Sony produced a good animated Spider-Man tv show and fans are clamoring for that and in the live action movie space, fans want marvel to take over. Maybe Sony should sign a deal and bring back spectacular Spider-Man and share the profits or something lol.

 

[A.J.]

So with Peter, Miles, and Gwen are they looking to have a spider-team eventually?

 

[SpaceWolf]

New clip.

 

[Sulik2]

Did they rip off a newgrounds flash game for the art style? Wow its awful.

 

[Principate]

That cartoon was ass. We didn't know any better at the time.

Lies it was great, it and X-men. Anyone that says otherwise has questionably poor taste!

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

I'm so confused about Miles Morales inclusion in all these Spider-Man products. I thought his whole hook was that he's in an alternate universe where Peter Parker died and he's Spider-Man instead. If there both in the same universe there's two Spider-Men walking about?

 

[Waddle Dee]

Lies it was great, it and X-men. Anyone that says otherwise has questionably poor taste!

It had an impressive amount of continuity for a children's cartoon at the time and most of the voice work was solid but the choppy animation, bizarre order of certain events (introducing Venom so early, having the Hobgoblin appear before the Green Goblin, etc) and the self censorship that led to Spidey barely ever punching anyone make it hard to go back to. Spectacular is by far the best Spider-Man show. I only got around to watching it in 2012 but it was far better than it had any right to be.

Spoiler

We all know the 60's animated show was secretly the best one, tho.

 

[PSqueak]

This looks better than Ultimate Spider-Man

Look, it's true that USM was a bad show, i get that people are still mad that it killed Spectacular, but come on, the animation on USM looked miles ahead of this.

If i remember correctly, currently Miles also exists in the "regular" 616 Marvel universe.

 

[TalonJH]

For some reason, the animation itself reminds me of Venture Bro. even though it's not like it. I like a lot of the human character designs.

 

[Mr Swine]

Character and animation look good but the backgrounds look so sparse and cheap. Like it was made with the lowest budget they could have

 

[KimiNewt]

It looks like this might be good, and the voice-acting might get better as we go along but damn that animation and backgrounds is just terrible. I'm fine with the character arc but it looks like it was made in flash in 1999 and runs at 3 FPS. What a shame.

Someone mentioned Korra. Have you SEEN Korra? The animation is a hundred times better than this. Why can't this be like that? It's Marvel's biggest hero!

 

[SpideySenses]

Animation looks iffy but man, I love the setup with Peter, Miles and Gwen together in school with the prospect of an eventual team-up.

 

[RandomHopeInc]

I think I've officially outgrown cartoons.

Don't blame cartoons, blame Disney's lazy approach to animated super hero shows. DC is still quality most of the time.

 

[A.J.]

New clip.

It bothers me that Peter dosen't take off his glasses to wash his face.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

Man that animation is just awful.

 

[KenzinFive]

The animation style is like a poor man's Studio Mir, the studio that animated Legend of Korra and now Voltron: Legendary Defender. They also apparently animated the shorts and season 1 of the Guardians of the Galaxy cartoon.

I assume this show is aiming for the kind of audience who like anime-influenced action shows with serialized stories. But it lacks the polish, talent, and budget of Studio Mir.

Judging by the shorts, the dialogue and tone don't seem as insufferable as Ultimate Spider-Man, so that's a plus. I guess we can just hope that the writing improves throughout the season, but I have my doubts.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

I saw all six parts of the origin On-Demand. Not bad. Animation and Character designs are passable . It's just mostly the backgrounds that are bugging me.(Lacks depth? Animation experts can explain this better.) Part 5 and 6 were the best written of the mini. This show will probably fine. Probably

 

[Sinatar]

Man remember when Marvel Animation was actually turning things around and put out Spectacular Spider-Man and Earth's Mightiest Heroes?

Then they just decided, hey, let's just fuck this all up. It was especially hilarious as EMH was the highest rated show in DisneyXD history, something the replacements haven't come close to hitting.

Here's hoping this is a return to form, but I'm not holding my breath.

 

[Waddle Dee]

Why do all of Disney's Marvel shows look like garbage in terms of art style and animation? So lazy.

 

[chrisPjelly]

Is this being animated by Studio Mir? Some of the facial features and expressions look awfully familiar

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Peter looks like a mix of Pidge/Keith from Voltron to me

 

[Zero-ELEC]

This actually looks not that bad.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

This actually looks not that bad.

Yup, it looks really alright so far. Looking forward to it.

 

[takriel]

Don't you just get burnt out from this stuff at some point?

Spectacular Spider-Man was Sony I believe.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Why the hell does Peter have a poster of SpiderGwen before he has even become Spiderman?
