The Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon Mega Thread

Gwen is going to be killed. Maybe not in the first movie. But it will happen.

No it won't.

No it won't.

It will. These movies are aiming to be darker & edgier than the Raimi films.

Kids will watch Batman and "The Dark Knight" was exceptionally dark.

Spider-Man is not Batman

I seriously doubt this will happen

I'd be ecstatic to be proven wrong, but I doubt it

Yes, Batman is even more of a child's wish fulfillment than Spider-Man. And yet when The Dark Knight came out, the cartoon in production was "The Brave & The Bold." (That's about as kid-friendly a show as you can get.)

Stuff like the Adam West series, Superfriends, The Batman, these series (and more) exist.

Face it, it's really not all that different.

Luke Cage continues to get like one moment in an episode.

He never says anything. He gets to punch like one thing and then he just sits in the background.

All he did this episode is what... get turned into the symbiote? yay?

I'm kinda disappointed with this cartoon. It just seemed like a poor mans Teen Titans or Ben 10. It just felt all rather flat. Now the Avengers cartoon was awesome as it was the first season even if it was a dull episode.

Considering they're not made by the same studio, they're entirely different seeing as the outcome is based on their producers' decision.

Excellent way of putting it

The idea that "it's Spider-Man" is not a good reason to think Gwen won't die in these films. After all, they killed her in the comics in the first place.

To you and me? Yeah, I agree.

But we're talking about the idiots at Sony who only know that Spider-Man = Lots of Cash + Annoyed Rivals at Disney

A child wishes for both his parents to be shot in front of him???
That seems wrong.

If you're looking at it like that, I don't know why you are even questioning why Disney/Marvel aren't using Gwen in the Ultimate cartoon then.

Yes, the loss of Bruce Wayne's parents was an awful thing. But it also liberates him and lets him train to be the awesome Batman.

This article does a good job explaining it.

Read "Batman: Broken City"

Is that a spoiler?

Because Disney are aware that people will go to see a Spider-Man movie, and hence seeing as they're making a Spider-Man tv series, they can market it to the movie audience.

It's like Sony's done their market research for them!

Your argument doesn't make sense because you seem to think Sony is using Gwen and won't kill her as some kind of protest against Disney/Marvel. And if Disney/Marvel should then bow down to Sony's "protests."

I really don't know what you are arguing.
