Personally, my biggest beef with 90s Spider-Man was hiring TMS, the absolute best in the business at that point, to do the animation -- and completely wasted them. Shitty action, shitty editing, zero retakes*, etc.
*Retakes are when the foreign animators don't draw something to the American producers' liking, and are asked to do them over. Retakes are extremely common; even the best studios have to do some -- yet the makers of the 90s Spidey show were too cheap to have them do a single one.
Huh, I had no idea that Pendleton Ward & the Lone Sausage guys (aka Dr. Tran) were working on a web series, "Bravest Warriors." Bunch of concept art and a comic over on the Frederator blog.

The thing that always bugged me about 90s Spider-Man is that Peter Parker was about six foot six with a barrel chest and gigantic chin. Even as a kid I thought that didn't seem right.
I watched it through recently with a friend who had only seen one or two episodes and yeah, 90's spiderman isn't perfect or anything.
It does have great moments though, which is more then I can say for every spiderman project after it.
Their Venom was the best I've seen in animation. Hasn't been topped since. Spec's Venom was pathetic.
What? How do you figure?
Just couldn't take him seriously. He was like a Looney Tune, not an actual threat.
I dunno, I think he was the first Venom ever depicted that actually had a fully fleshed-out motivation to hate Spidey/Pete with a burning passion. And the slow burn of Eddie's gradually developing animosity was great, especially since it was helped along by Spidey's own screw-ups.

I did like how they portrayed Venom as the real Big Bad in the show. The rest of the villains felt like the snack before the feast.
They also kinda did this in the 90's one as well, which is probably why they had to send his ass to space and then another dimension.
90s spiderman was my introduction to spiderman as a kid. As such, i have a lot of fond memories of it. The crossover with the xmen series as well as the ironman series was also pretty cool. I will agree that peter looked out of place as a jock though but the voice actor for him was pretty good i thoight
Venom's backstory in 90s Spider-man and subsequently Spectacular Spider-man was awesome.

Spectacular Spider-Man was the single best Spider-Man cartoon, and the 90s show doesn't hold up. I say this as someone who was obsessed with Spider-Man during childhood and would take in any Spider-Man media, including Amazing Friends and Spider-Man Unlimited.

I'm pretty sure they're looking to make it a full series on CN like adventure time actually. Unless I this changed recently.
Have you guys seen the Avengers cartoon? It was surprisingly good, I hope they bring it back.
The theme song is incredibly nerve-wracking, but otherwise the show is pretty worthwhile.
Are you talking about the Avengers cartoon from the '90s? Or the current one?
Sorry the current one. I never watched the 90s version for whatever reason. Especially weird because I watched a bunch of the other superhero cartoons: Xmen, Spider-man, B:TAS and Superman.

You didn't miss anything. It was worse then Spider-man Unlimited.

Most people probably don't remember it because it only lasted 13 episodes between October 1999 and February 2000.

Also the theme song ruled hard. That's about as far as I'll defend the show.

Spider-Man Unlimited *shudder*
I agree!
Looks fine to me.
It was a shame that cartoon never got past a first season.

It is in fact very pretty.

Probably because it was mind-meltingly horrible. Marvel set it in the future for no apparent reason other than Batman Beyond was popular at the time.

You think it's bad, you should hear how they hacked it up and added narration for season 2.
If he saw the last few episodes of season 1 on Disney XD, he would've seen that opening.
