Cell-shaded?

Excuse me for being an idiot
but whats that?

[1WEBHEAD]

Wasted potential in my opinion.

CGI = Computer Graphic Imaging (as opposed to hand drawn); granted a ton of graphics are done on computers these days, but this is often refered to when using a computer to render things in 3-D as opposed to 2-D. That is what is beingused for this show. Other shows that use this format are Beast Wars, Action Man, and Reboot.

Cell-shaded is a coloring/shading style, lately used in a video games. Examples are Wind Waker, the PS2 Shin Megami Tensei games, and this show.

Dont like the show, huh?

[Alan2099]

I really didn't like the way it looked or the way it was written.

[TheRedFear]

I just watched the only two episodes on YouTube and liked the writing. The Animation style took some time to grow on me though

[curefreak]

i think ive seen every episdoe and the plots started to repeat themselves quite a bit and thats not a good thing for a show that didnt last one season.
it looked ok i guess even tho harry come across as a drunken a**hole more than even in the movies.
i doubt many people think this is better than the original one on fox.

[drinkblatzbeer]

i thought this show was great...any chance it'll ever see the light of day on DVD?

the only thing that ever irked me was pretty small, peter always has the exact same outfit on...

Count me as one of those that think's this show was 10 times better than Fox Spidey. I wish the show would've gotten a second season to really develop. Also, pissed that the series ended on a cliffhanger.

I've only seen 2 episodes and i'll second that. What was the cliffhanger?

[maczero]

i never did understand why mtv cancelled it so quickly im sure the ratings couldnt have been that bad.That's typical for MTV. If it's not a reality show then more than likely it won't make it past it's first season. I'm still pissed they didn't renew Clone High. Another great show that ended on a cliffhanger.

well beavis and butthead lasted a long time even when it ran out of idea's.

And it isn't.

I try to say that it doesn't exist, that's a bad version of Ghostbusters bad or even Sentai Spidey.

[Effect]

This show never should have been on MTV of all places. Had it been aired on another station it would have continued I feel. I agree if it isn't a reality show it won't last long on MTV. Hell they don't really play music like they used to anymore either.

I liked the show and it really did suck that it wasn't continued.

Spoiler tags are like this I think [ spoil ] Text [ /spoil ]. Without the spaces. >>>>Test<<<<<<<

[curefreak]

And it isn't.

the funky reporter chick?

[Sean Whitmore]

This was a show that never had a chance to live up to its potential.

Comparing it to the Fox show is pointless, as each show had a different remit. The Fox show was aimed at the Saturday morning crowd, had a regular air time with tons of promotion, and had the entire history of Spider-Man to draw upon. The MTV show was aimed at an older audience, had crap promotion, aired whenever MTV felt like airing it, and had to stay within the pseudo-continuity of the movie.

In the things that are comparable, the MTV show--while not great-- had it all over its Fox predecessor. The voices were less whiny, the dialogue was crisper, the fight scenes were exciting, and the production values were better (and I'm not comparing the CG to the hand-drawn animation, I'm just saying the MTV show never used the same shot of a wall collapsing 1500 times).

Yeah but for that they succeeded using one character model for three or four diffrent characters :D :D (the model of Max Dillon to be exact :rolleyes: )

the origin of elektro was ridiculous.

[megabyte01]

the origin of elektro was ridiculous.

I agree, but it fit into what the producers wanted this series core audience to be: college students. mtv's target demographic is 18-28 year old guys. unfortuately, no one told mainframe, the company behind the show, that mtv's real audience is at least 10 years younger intellectually.

the main things that cannned the show were the bizzare time slots and lack of promotion. i just caught the show by chance while i was channel surfing, and i couldn't believe what i saw. Spider-Man on mtv?! and it doesn't completely suck?! still, everything i saw pointed to the show being doomed.

speaking of the finale, i bet they would have resolved the cliffhanger if they were renewed for a second season, which of course didn't happen.

thank you for agreeing with me it doesnt happen to often on here.
as for the rest i dont think it was badly promoted cause i knew about it oh well,
i think it would have done better on cartoon network or something similar.
i guess 28 is a good stopping point cause i didnt stop watching mtv this year(im 34 not sure where i am intellectually :o )
but i would occasionally watch next especially for the hot lesbians making out.

Personally, I felt the anti-Spidey origin (nerd who gets powers and doesn't use them responsibly) worked a lot better than making Electro the Red Skull's son. ;)

It was one of the final story arcs of the Fox 'toon. Red Skull gives his son powers and dubs him Electro in an effort to rule the world. Kind of a weird way to debut one of the classic Ditko villains, but I guess they had their reasons.

When I saw that Electro was the Skull's Ultimate Weapon, I honest-to-God thought it was a joke until I realized he hadn't been introduced in the series yet.

That...broke me a little, I'll not lie. It's the goofy-ass headpiece that makes it art.

The whole end of that series sucked, hardcore. The offbeat Seven Forgotten Warriors, the cosmic Secret Wars and existance-threatening Spider-Carnage, The faux-Clone Saga and Ben Reilly, Hydro-MJ, Stan Lee...it's almost nightmarish.

i guess they wanted to tie in captain america, so they needed another classic villian to do it. they just rewrote how his story so he would be the rediculously powerful final villian in the six part story.

if you ask me the question of which electro is worse, the fox series or the mtv series, i can't tell you.

poor elektro he gets screwed over in two cartoons and hes a lackey for kingpin in the ultimate verse.

One thing is for sure:this seris did get spidey's powers right.He was strong,fast,agile and his spider-sense actually worked!I can't say the same about the 90's show...

Every once in a while he might throw a weak-ass kick, usually to knock somebody off of him. :) But we never got to see him cut loose like Spider-Man is supposed to be capable of.

True.And they usually displayed his strength poorly...

I'm in total agreement with you Dude...

[Agentum]

I think this show sucked really, the older S-M TAS 90s show is much better.
Yes like 90 X-men it's done mostly for kids so no blood or bad language, Wolverine only ripped robots apart never flesh:-D

This episodes has been floating around on internet for years.
Maybe they tried to do it for an older audience but i think it's bad work and unintresting stuff in the long run.

S-M need a new show again.

[Taltos]

I loved the series and i have the first and sadly only season on DVD. My dad stole it, or i left it when i moved out, so ill definantly watch some episodes on youtube.

Ive also been watching he new FF TAS, which is growing on me.

[jam]

Crumbs. Some hot emotions over the MTV Spidey.

I liked it. Bought the DVD. What can I tell you. I even appreciated the attempt to make CGI humans look more cartoonish instead of making them look "perfect" (ha!)

[Captain Murphy]

What irked me so much about the 90s cartoon was that Fox wouldn't allow Spidey to ever throw a punch or kick.

Carnage was "draining" energy out of people, instead of killing them. Lazer guns everywhere.

[Venom]

The 2003 show is probably the only thing I've ever disliked about Spider-Man. It's a disgrace to Spidey's good name. Don't even compare this hack of crap to the legendary 90's show. People who say it's better than the 90's show give me the impression that they never watched it properly.

So the 90's show had it's limitations; so what! Most cartoons have their limitations these days. Apart from DC and Manga cartoons name me one other animation that uses real guns or say the word "die" these days and if you do know then give yourself a pat on the back.

At least the 90's show was true to what Spidey is all about and didn't have idiots in Robot suits all the dam time and have freaking punk news reporters as love interests.

Oh Sean Witmore, to answer your question about why Electro was the Red Skull's son, here's why. When the 90's show first started the writers were allowed to use every Spider-Man villain except Electro & Sandman because they were going to be used as the rogues in the Spider-Man movie that was meant to come out that time.

After the whole movie got canned the show was too far into it's run they didn't have enough episodes to introduce Electro & Sandman and they had major storylines coming up, but they wanted to at least get one of them in so they altered Electro's origin and identity so that they could somehow fit him into the show. They chose Electro as they said bringing in Sandman at that point would have been difficult hence why Sandman never appeared in the show.

What about it was a disgrace? Besides him fighting guys in robot suits (which he does all the time in the comics).

That makes sense. I'd always wondered if maybe Electro got the H.E.R.B.I.E. treatment because he couldn't electrocute anyone on-air. I wonder why they were allowed to use Kingpin though, since in the Cameron script they'd reportedly merged Electro and Kingpin into the same character.

They were the main villains in the show quite a bit when they should be side villains. They gave every Spider-Man villain except the Kingpin a terrible revamp. They ruined every character in the show such as making Mary Jane looking like a Goth and turning Harry into a prick with blonde hair. Sorry if I wasn't descriptive enough as I've posted why I've disliked this show so many other times in the past I think some people are probably getting sick of me ranting about the same thing over and over again.

No worries. If you can't rant in a thread about the show, where can you rant? :)

Without trying to be insulting, I do think some of your complaints are a little minor. MJ's look didn't strike me as goth, and even if it was, she didn't act that way, so so what? Harry being blonde is another thing that doesn't really matter, and him being a rich prick is simply following the movie continuity than the comics.

And really, how is Electro getting his powers from a billboard or whatever any goofier than being on a telephone line when it's struck by lightning? ;)

[Alan2099]

What realy bugged me about it was how they seemed to contrasntly stress, "hey. I'm using a laptop. maybe later I'll lsiten to an Ipod and drink cappuchino." They just seemed to be trying to hard to be hip and modern.

Also I really hated the look of the show in general. That style works fine if you're playing a videogame, but it doesn't work for a full series.

I'm not being insulting but do you know how childish that sounds. I gave the 2003 show a try. I watched every episode and I tried to like it but It just didn't grow on me. It's probably the only thing about Spider-Man I've never liked. I'm one of the few people on this forum that likes the Spider-Man Unlimited cartoon as well. I've liked pretty much every Spider-Man story I've ever read. So how can you call me a hater? I said I disliked the show. Why on earth would I hate a show. Get your facts right and learn the meaning of a word before you say it to people. Instead of jumping to conclusions. Sorry if I sounded to harsh on you. Good day to you sir.

This has nothing to do with anything, but that reminds me of my old New Year's Resolution to end every angry rant with "Good day to you, SIR."

And if they try to respond, I was going to shout, "I said, good day!"
