I don't see how deleting the page and ignoring the criticism is responsible. And for a show that has great power and great responsibility as a tagline, that's boarderline hypocrisy.

Dude are you reading what you're writing right now? I'm sorry, but Loeb has every right to delete the page if trolls are going to continue to mock him over his deceased son. The fault isn't on Loeb in this case who shouldn't have to be forced to deal with it or "suck it up" and siphon through all that crap, but on the trolls are getting their jollies out of a tragedy.

Anyways, this episode today was actually better. Mainly cause it was focused on a plot. Though it got cheesy towards the end. "The power was in you the whole time." I puked.

You did not. Stop exaggerating.

I may dislike Loeb's practices, but there are people out there who continually bring up his dead son in insulting ways. I would delete my facebook too!

Quoted for the truth. Insulting his dead son crosses way over the line. IMO, those people who insult his dead son deserve to have their butts kicked.

I've heard stories of some people's kids not liking the show.

Okay, not puked, but smacked my forehead. That was honestly dumb.

I (as well as a couple of my friends) actually liked THE BATMAN from the very beginning. However, I know a lot of people who started out hating the show, started liking the show around the 2nd and/or 3rd season.

As for USM, like I said inan earlier post, could be a heck of a lot better if a few tweaks and/or changes are made to the show without getting rid of or altering the shows original premise.

That's a very....entitled approach to kids cartoons. Myself, as a man in his 30's, I get that I might not enjoy things 7 year olds do, and I'm okay with that. If I do, great, but if not, oh well. It's all about perspective. Seems like the end of the world the way some are ranting and raving over and over about this.

Yeah lets Make a fool out of Thor and turn him into a frog to entertain the kiddies just so we can get one lame ass princess kissing the frog joke at the end of the episode.

you wouldnt see that happen to him in the Avengers cartoon.

The great Walt Simonson turned Thor into a frog during his legendary Thor run. This was an homage to that story. The Avengers cartoon would do that. (Hell, they had their own homage to Walt Simonson with the Beta Ray Bill episode.)

Avatar - The Last Airbender did, Korra does, Batman - The Animated Series did, Superman The Animated Series, Spectacular Spider-Man, Batman Beyond, Justice League, Young Justice, new Thundercats and so forth..... it really is not hard to do and this "its for kids" (hey, its Spider-Man of course adult comic fans are going to want to like it) is just lazy talk.

It can still be entertaining enough, would help if he stops talking to the camera, being a clutz (he is Spider-Man) and those annoying cut aways.

I was one of those people who didn't get into The Batman at first. It just didn't do it for me and I thought it was just a cheap imitation of the first animated series. But as the series unfolded, it definitely got better and now I have pretty much the whole thing on DVD. It was a series that offered a sense of progression. I wish that were the case with Ultimate Spider-Man, but I think it's already been reported by Quesada and others that the nature of this show isn't going to change. They're not going to make it more elaborate than it already is and they're not going to change the annoying 4th wall breaking or insufferable cut-aways that belong on Family Guy. And I think that if that doesn't change, then there really isn't much chance that this show will improve like The Batman did.

I think it's just the humor of the guys at top. Look at how Bendis writes the Avengers and New Avengers. It's kinda the same humor.
