Outside the actual comics, Spectacular Spider-man is the best representation of Spidey in any medium.
Yep. It also has the only incarnation of Venom that makes any sense.
I liked the Spider-man: TAS version.
That one gave the best origin for the symbiote which Spectacular Spider-man copied fairly well. It also gave the strongest motivation for Eddie hating Spider-man/Peter. Other than that I don't think it was anything special.

The lack of motivation for Eddie's hatred in Spectacular Spider-Man was probably the one thing I didn't like about that version of Venom.

"Hey, Pete's totally my best friend in the whole world!"
"Wait, he screwed over Doc Conners? He's a scumbag! I'm going to totally turn into a psychotic murderer and threaten every single person around me! That'll show 'em!"
That said, the end result was indeed great, and had the best on-screen Venom battles of all time.
At least in Ultimate, they gave a small bit of backstory to imply that he wasn't all there to begin with, but there was no indication at all that he was anything besides a stand-up guy in Spectacular.
Is there a place I can catch up on Young Justice, legitimately? I don't think I've seen it on Netflix. (Obviously I could pirate it, but don't want to)
$50 on iTunes for season 1. Wikipedia says dvd/blurays were already released of s1 in 3 volumes, as well.
...and this is why I don't bother with anything Marvel animated any more.
I watched some Avengers, and I liked it. I'd been meaning to get back to it with season 2. Now I'm just sort of glad I more or less let it go.
If you haven't watched Spectacular Spider-Man, you absolutely should. And you might as well watch the second season of the Avengers, since not only does it open the show up to the entire Marvel Universe, but it has a scene where the Hulk beats a robot to death by using The Thing as a club.
I thought Spectacular ended early? Is Avengers at least getting a proper finish?
...that one scene sounds worth checking out, at least.
Like Mega Man Legends? Then check out my story, Legends of the Halcyon Era - An Adventure in the World of Mega Man Legends on TMMN and AO3!

At any rate, there's been a Pixar update. I'll just run down the future list:
Brave's coming out June 22. If you haven't seen the scene they're using as a trailer, you absolutely should:

Yeah, Spectacular did. It's still worth seeing through to the end if you haven't... the show just keeps getting better and better.
Not sure if the folks who make Avengers got enough advance notice from Red Hulk to make sure the show ends and doesn't just stop at a cliffhanger.
And I'll agree, I'm really, really excited for pretty much everything Pixar's making. I was a little skeptical for a Monsters Inc prequel, but Toy Story 3 managed to be the best of the bunch.
is flash point the story about the rapist version of Pigleg?
Please tell me this isn't a real thing.
Please.
That's a character from The Tick.
And a villain with the most fantastic backstory ever --- he became a bad guy because he has a pig for a leg.
If you ever get a chance, watch the episode "Heroes" from the second season. Glorious.
Checked it out and I was thinking of Identity Crisis, where a villain suspiciously similar to PigLeg(Dr.Light) gets mind wiped after some angsty writing.

I'm currently watching this cartoon film on Netflix titled Ultimate Avengers: The Movie
So far the animation is atrocious. Did they only have enough money for the third-string backup animation team or something? :?
EDIT: Oof, my inner animation guru forced me to turn this drek off. I can't believe people paid money for such shoddy work.
You have to remember that it came out 6 years ago, back before we really had any decent Marvel animation.
Has the recent DTV Marvel animated stuff gotten better? I stopped paying attention when they somehow thought Teen Avengers was an awesome idea.
It's hard to say. The animation quality has probably improved a bit, though it's still nowhere near DC's. I've personally enjoyed all of the DTVs, so I'm probably not the best person to ask.

Spectacular Spider-Man is great, but the ending is rather disappointing, especially since it ends on kind of a cliffhanger (which will of course never be resolved).

When the main complaint about a series is that there wasn't enough of it, it's done something right.
Ultimate spider-man though... I don't think it's going to get any better.

And EMH is getting cancelled so we can have, in effect, more of the same.

Enh. WATXM wasn't terrible, but I didn't think it was that great either. And it did at least finish the story arc.

I haven't even bothered watching USM. The trailer was terrible and other people who've seen it have said the show is terrible.

I guess that explains that film, but doesn't really raise my opinion of it any more. Everything from the lighting to color schemes barely looks two steps ahead of those awfully-animated 90's Marvel cartoons

I wish they'd just come out and make Marceline and/or Princess Bubblegum gay. They'd make a cute couple. And would it really be that much stranger than a stretchy dog and rainicorn, a pig and tiny elephant (an umarried couple living together under the same roof? That'd be indecent.), a boy and fire elemental?
I guess my joke's too obscure. It was in response to Invisible's character shipping.
Nothing against those particular characters, but it's ironic considering my recent (but always lingering) hatred of the common Anime practice of fans shipping to same-sex (90% of the time girls) characters because "they look cute together".
Particularly frustrating as a recent series I watched features a heavy amount of this from the fan community, even though one of the character's actions is entirely motivated around the fact that she is in love with a guy.
I'm also aware of the irony as not too long ago I kind of shipped Artemis and Ms. Martian together, although that was more based on the writer's failed history of wanting to insert a gay character into his cartoon. Also, I thought the scene in question was a deliberate reference to The Runaways.
And after freaking out over Megan's true appearance, that ship (ha!) has officially sailed
I've heard that complaint a bit, and I do understand it (some of his impersonated voices tend to be grating), but I can also tolerate it. If the material he's covering is stupid enough, it justifies his high-pitched expressions of rage.
Someone I can't stand is Cinema Snob; some people have claimed his voice got better after his early work, so maybe I should give him another shot.

It's to the point that some people actually think his voice is sexy.

I love the way they animated her hair. Movie looks fantastic.
You listed Monster University; the other three are completely original IPs.
EDIT: Oh geez now I feel like a real dumbass haha :P
But still, Pixar are totally sell outs and will never produce anything of quality again.

long story short: the short-film blends traditional 2d and 3d cgi animation in some fairly novel ways using some new-fangled proprietary animation software. Here is a bit of discussion from people who have seen it: http://www.dvdizzy.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=29514&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0

it is definitely the worst, who is in charge of making these things? Not to say the footage looks bad but man what a crummy trailer.
So the Adventure Time comic has been awesome thus far.
How to make it more awesome?
There's going to be a Marceline/PB mini-series as well starting in July.
