I didn't like that in that series when his spider-sense went off he just stood there and get hit. The whole point of the spider-sense is to know something dangerous is heading for you and to GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!! In this show it was like this- "My spider-sense... I'll just stand here... Oww!!"
05:10 Hmmmmmm I'm pretty sure Hitler, Pol Pot and Richard Ramirez would have reacted the same way had they been chased by a guy in a metal vulture costume who could fly. Oh wait this video was probably made by some 3 grader who thinks that just because your evil, you would have to be pretentiously bad ass and act weird all the time to. Stupid, Stupid, Stupid.
@Mordur696bren No, it's because it's out of character for Norman Osborn to act like that. He's supposed to be cold, calculating and remorseless, where in this show he just...well, you saw the video.
@TheSatanicCreature Exactly. If you compare both Norman's reactions to the Vulture, you can see the difference between the two is as clear as day and night. In SSM he's being held 100s of feet in the air by Vulture and not only is he not afraid of him, he insults him. Even after he got dropped he still didn't scream. And Norman would never live in fear of anyone.
i always found goblins laugh annoying and correct me if im wrong but didnt hobgoblin come before green goblin in the show didnt like that but the show was good for its time but not as good as it is now but spectacular spidey has taken its place
@1805902349 I never said it wasn't. And besides the reason why he did that was because he was afraid of Kingpin. Living in fear of someone was so out of character for Norman.
@1805902349 The way Norman was portrayed in SSM is more accurate to how he was portrayed in the comics. Norman Osborn isn't a good man gone bad. He's a bad man gone nuts.
Sandman didn't appear in the 90s cartoon because James Cameron at the time was working on a live-action Spidey film where Sandman and Electro were the villains. But seeing as the film never made it through, Electro was used.
@CrashJakFan1994 Even after they knew Cameron's movie wasn't happening they still could have brought in Electro and Sandman with their proper alter egos. That's no excuse for them to bastardize Electro.
Dude I have got to thank you for making this video. i've been trying to get my friend to watch spectacular spider-man but he says it looks like shit and won't give it a chance. I've been trying to tell him that spectacular spider-man has far better fight scenes (ya know they actually hit each other lol) but he is so stuck on this. Now I grew up with this series so I'll always love it but After much thought I had to say Spectacular spider-man was superior. to bad it got cancelled :(
Man. as much as I loved the 0s animate series at least i'm not a total nostalgic bone head and am able to admit the series wasn't as great as ppl make it out to be. heck, even Spider-Man Unlimited was better than the 90s series in some ways.
What's funny is i'm currently in an argument with some nut job over how TSSM actually is better than the 90s series in many, many, many ways.
Its called a creativity and the makers get more "respect" if they don`t do it exactly same than in the comics. The new Spider-Man movie will make mistake if it follow the comics and they don`t dare making something own.
Spider-Man 90s was a successfully because it didn't followed same formula. It`s boring if they making a same over and over again.. with better graphics/effects.
Too bad that spectacular fans just want more action but comics are not just about the fighting etc..
Wow... The voice actors are so bad. Polish version is much better, with Nick Fury sounding like a real bad-ass he is. The only good voice in American version is Green Goblin...
@dupolup then why do I see allways mean comments when there is an anime dubbed into English? Because it sounds better in it's original and natural form, even if they don't understand a single word they say it's better. Nevermind the overacting, they say it's better.
I think the story editor John Semper Jr, Could agree to a lot of the Story plots in this show. But this show was a miracle it even got aired or even was so good as it was. The cuz are they rebuild a studio to work in twice, the story edítor was fired after 6 months so that Semper Jr was called in. All behind sceduale and last minute calls they had to many Voice Actors=100. The all show was for Avi Arad a Toy commercal thats why Hobgoblin was first and the SPIDDHA SLAHYA! GO TO WIKI AND REFERENCE
Honestly, I can see the argument towards SSM, but I think in 10-15 years all the SSM fans will be facing the same ridicule. Around that time someone will be pointing out all the flaws of SSM compared to whatever the latest buzz is, and those who grew up on SSM will be defending it the same as those of us who grew up on TAS. Also: Continuity? In the Spiderman universe? Even the comics had a hard time keeping any true continuity XD
Sure, some things like the cell phones and other technology of our times may be poked fun in 10-15 years, but things like writing, directing, and voice acting are eternal and going to be the most remembered. The 90's Marvel shows were horrible at these, but other shows like Batman, Gargoyles, and others raised the bar for those times.
Of course, what REALLY bugged me the most were that we only got the Norman Osborn Green Goblin for three episodes, then he's banished to limbo for the rest of the series, and the series finale was a HUGE let-down by not bringing back the real Mary Jane.

This was the Best of it´s time how many other good 90´s came after this! Resemblance to Comicplots from the 70-80´s where spred all over this show. They may only planned 2 sesons for this but it went so good so they continued as well using Kingpin for most cases like SSM usse The Big B. Hobby before Green was just a idea of making Green the most treathing villian. Cross bettwen other Heroes was the best of this show! When the new show starts than I hope it will be better than ssm+tas! PLASMA!!!!
as a child I never noticed the re-used animations. I still love this cartoon. However, Spectacular Spider-man is truly superior in dialogue, animation, story, voice acting, continuity, and so on. It's only questionable in the art style. The civilians are so plain, but the villains are awesome; except Electro. I didn't like his design and his personality is too stupid.
@Solaris114 Well, they did appear in Spectacular, and I like the Spot because he's such a lame villain. It's kinda hard to explain why I like him so much. Probably his no kill policy, or that he was more or less just forced to become a super villain in the comics by Kingpin.
Thank you SO much. This show is extremely overrated. How people like this nonsense but dislike the Spectacular Spider-Man show is a mystery I will never solve.
About the Chameleon, you noticed how that one agent tried to find him because no matter who the Chameleon changed into, he'd still have that belt, CLEARLY visible. She was the only one who noticed that. Everyone else just attacked everyone. The Agents'd probably just start punching everyone who walked by if the Chameleon was loose, and not bother to look for that one difference that you'd have to be stupid to not notice. Noticing that belt is about as easy as being 0 when you're born.
And why does the Chameleon have that weird belt, he's supposed to have actual disguises, not some weird belt with weird advanced technology. Also, they have laser guns instead of average AK-47's. They also, literally, never say die. They say die in tons of 70's animated films/shows, but not in the 90's. The flipping cowards.
"They also, literally, never say die. They say die in tons of 70`s animated.." You`re just described just the most of nowadays Hollywood movies and proved that they has no enough the balls going to further and stick in the PG-13 rating etc.
The 'age defying' vulture ep was an adaptation of Amazing Spider-Man # 387 wherein Vulture (Adrian Tooms) creates a device that steals youth from people and makes him younger. Also, The Spot ep adapts Spectacular Spider-Man # 98. The '90's series did a good job adapting existing stories, and the changes made to them were sensible for the most part.
This show really hated old people. Silvermane? He wanted to get eternal youth. Vulture? He sucked youth from people. Why not just let the villains be old?
My biggest problem with this incarnation of Spider-man was the design for Peter Parker. In the comics (and the movie) he was small and sinewy, passing for skinny and wimpy in civilian life, whereas this version he looks like a bulky, ripped up quarter back.
Mind you, if you want to seed a really wide of the mark version of Spidey, check out the TV series from the 70s; No familiar super villians, no Uncle Ben and Aunt May was played by a man!
Hey,Spider-Man TAS got some things right. Mark Hamill as the Hobgoblin,Venom and Carnage, CDB getting jokes right(though not the emotional scenes)David Hayter as Captain America and uhmm that's about it
I don't particularly like this show, because it has terrible plot continuity..Seriously the Hobgoblin before Green Goblin? And also get this, Venom is introduced way way to early in the series. Venom should always come along time after all the other villians, and they put him in season 1, way before GG. Even before HG! Come on! Why cant they just put him in season 3? Is it just because Venom is really popular and they think fans dont want to wait very long to see him? What a load of rubbish!
I don't hate this show, but I'm getting sick of seeing people bash SSM for reasons like "poor kiddie animation" while saying how "much better the 90s show was". I grew with TAS and it introduced me to Spidey's world, but when fans start bashing SSM for no reason, other than to apparently make TAS show look better, I want to join in with the "90s sucks" crowd.
I've started following the SSM fandom ever since it was announced that Weisman was in charge and even before the show started I've seen people hating it just because it wasn't the old one. Having to endure 3 years of that will make anyone hate the 90s show just purely for defensive reasons. I can't watch most of the episodes of 90s show without flinching at least once. I don't want to turn into a rabid 90s hater but having to defend the show against those fans is turning me into one.
Mary Jane had a terrible fashion sense and was obnoxious (so was Harry). Her aunt was an insufferable old bag. I think my favorite part of the series was Flash Thompson and Deb Whitman those two had actual character development, so did Felicia Hardy. It was nice to see it in the supporting case in the old show, TSSM perfected it though. I liked TSSM better but I still like SpideyTAS. It was pretty hokey at times but some parts were great. Some not so much but it had its charm.
Though I know what you mean about a lot of these, this show is still good, and it was amazing for its time and given the stupid censors that they gave in too. Things like Osborne, yes he was pathetic, but that was a good thing in that it made his transformation into the Goblin fantastic, it turned him into everything he should be, the harsh... so and so that he is. I admit Seasons 4 and the first half of 5 were kinda poor, but the rest of it was great, minus the Spot.
Well, it didn't bother me so much. The first seasons were the best, but then it became worse and worse. I enjoyed more the clone saga of this show. The story arc six forgotten warriors was just dumb, especially the russian electro.
But what I really enjoyed most was the six arm saga. I hope Spectacular Spiddy get a similar arc too.
Osborn wasn't whiner all the time - in few episodes (Hobgoblin, Spider-slayer) he was like his comic book counterpart. And for me Octavius was real good - maybe not ideal, but very good (voice and design).
@GregXB2 I agree. He's a scientist who was incredibly obsessive about his research. Other than his tentacles, he should be a complete wimp like in the comic.
One of my gripes was the overuse of Morbius. Why was he treated like a major villain? He took up way too many episodes. I mean, look at the other villains we could have - and I think that we should have - seen more of instead of Morbius.
Norman Osborn's Green Goblin got three mere episodes against Spider-Man before he went into limbo. Venom got three episodes (or four, if you count his shadowy cameo at the end of "The Alien Costume, part 2")
Poor Mysterio only got four episodes (and was killed off, which sucked). Vulture only appears in three episodes, before joining the Insidious Six near the end of the series. Hobgoblin only got five episodes, before getting arrested and never seen again. Rhino and Shocker only appeared in the Venom saga, then the Insidous Six episodes, and never again until near the end of the series.
We saw more of Morbius than any of those guys. That's just plain wrong.
The thing that i really hated most about this show was Man-Spider. I've never liked the idea of seeing my favorite superhero turn into a Monster. The censors the show thought that the word sinister would have been to scary for kids but having Spider-Man turn into a Spider monster that pukes acid was fine apparantly
Naw, I just started looking old episodes to kill time. IMBd is not exactly my favourite place to spend time. Get's downright depressing if you're in the wrong mood.
Wow, this is wierd. When did all the backlash to TAS start? I mean, I'll admit that it had some censorship issues, but still, compared to most of the series (barring Batman, which had no such censorship problems) and comics of its time, it was pretty damn good.
I love this show! I enjoy Spectacular Spider-man, and I think Josh Keaton is a great Spidey, but Christopher Barnes and TAS were much better, in my opinion.
90's Norman Osborn cries and runs away from Vulture like a little bitch. Spectacular Osborn while being held 100 stories up in the air by Vulture says ''I called you a buzzard, you can't evan get the name right''
While Spectacular's Norman was more calm and bad-ass about the situation, TAS had a more realistic approach. I mean, seriously, if you're getting chased by a crazy guy in a metal suit, you'd cry your ass off too.
@EliteF50 The guy was a snivelling coward. For some people running and crying llike a btch is realistic, and for others standing your ground and not showing fear is. It all depends on who the person is. The problem was Norman in TAS was just annoying.
You're one of the richest men in the world, a brilliant scientists and the GREEN GOBLIN! How did you do so much without any balls?
@marnerbroman Wow, you couldn't even understand the subtle emotions the actor portrayed. While he was always dominating, he had 4 main personas as Norman; the boss, the one he uses while just insulting someone (haven't come up with a name yet), the father and the criminal scientist. He ranged. He was at times happy, at times angry, and at times indifferent. His voice was monotone, but he still got those emotions through. And the finale really showed his true self.
@marnerbroman This actor is a snivelling coward. he terrorized NYC? Fuck that. He can barely keep from wetting himself. He's suposed to be a captain of industry, a heavy hitter in the underworld, and a supervillain. SSM captures all of these perfectly. TAS failed in every last one.
@marnerbroman ...Have you heard the Goblin in TAS? His voice sounds like some child molester, and the acting is more flamboyant than a San Fran Pride rally.
@BalmungSama0 with that logic SSM Goblin sounds like a rapist, they both have that crazy inhuman voice that makes them sound so evil. I like both odf the mfor different reasons though SSM was more evil.
@marnerbroman SSm sounds like he's psychotic. He's a sprite. TAS's just isn't threatening. It sounds more ridiculous than threatening. SSM's voice is threatening, but at the same time has fantastic acting and really is a voice you love to hear.
@EliteF50 If anything Spectacular is more realistic, because I jsut don't see a coward who's too afraid to take chances or stand his ground making it so far in the corporate world.
I didn't like that in that series when his spider-sense went off he just stood there and get hit. The whole point of the spider-sense is to know something dangerous is heading for you and to GET OUT OF THE WAY!!!!! In this show it was like this- "My spider-sense... I'll just stand here... Oww!!"

Noticing that belt is about as easy as being 0 when you're born.

....Yeah......
And why does the Chameleon have that weird belt, he's supposed to have actual disguises, not some weird belt with weird advanced technology. Also, they have laser guns instead of average AK-47's. They also, literally, never say die. They say die in tons of 70's animated films/shows, but not in the 90's. The flipping cowards.

The 'age defying' vulture ep was an adaptation of Amazing Spider-Man # 387 wherein Vulture (Adrian Tooms) creates a device that steals youth from people and makes him younger. Also, The Spot ep adapts Spectacular Spider-Man # 98. The '90's series did a good job adapting existing stories, and the changes made to them were sensible for the most part.

My biggest problem with this incarnation of Spider-man was the design for Peter Parker. In the comics (and the movie) he was small and sinewy, passing for skinny and wimpy in civilian life, whereas this version he looks like a bulky, ripped up quarter back.
Mind you, if you want to seed a really wide of the mark version of Spidey, check out the TV series from the 70s; No familiar super villians, no Uncle Ben and Aunt May was played by a man!

I don't particularly like this show, because it has terrible plot continuity..Seriously the Hobgoblin before Green Goblin? And also get this, Venom is introduced way way to early in the series. Venom should always come along time after all the other villians, and they put him in season 1, way before GG. Even before HG! Come on! Why cant they just put him in season 3? Is it just because Venom is really popular and they think fans dont want to wait very long to see him? What a load of rubbish!

I don't hate this show, but I'm getting sick of seeing people bash SSM for reasons like "poor kiddie animation" while saying how "much better the 90s show was". I grew with TAS and it introduced me to Spidey's world, but when fans start bashing SSM for no reason, other than to apparently make TAS show look better, I want to join in with the "90s sucks" crowd.
Continued in next comment.

I've started following the SSM fandom ever since it was announced that Weisman was in charge and even before the show started I've seen people hating it just because it wasn't the old one. Having to endure 3 years of that will make anyone hate the 90s show just purely for defensive reasons. I can't watch most of the episodes of 90s show without flinching at least once. I don't want to turn into a rabid 90s hater but having to defend the show against those fans is turning me into one.

Mary Jane had a terrible fashion sense and was obnoxious (so was Harry). Her aunt was an insufferable old bag. I think my favorite part of the series was Flash Thompson and Deb Whitman those two had actual character development, so did Felicia Hardy. It was nice to see it in the supporting case in the old show, TSSM perfected it though. I liked TSSM better but I still like SpideyTAS. It was pretty hokey at times but some parts were great. Some not so much but it had its charm.

Though I know what you mean about a lot of these, this show is still good, and it was amazing for its time and given the stupid censors that they gave in too. Things like Osborne, yes he was pathetic, but that was a good thing in that it made his transformation into the Goblin fantastic, it turned him into everything he should be, the harsh... so and so that he is. I admit Seasons 4 and the first half of 5 were kinda poor, but the rest of it was great, minus the Spot.
NintenBeau 1 year ago
Well, it didn't bother me so much. The first seasons were the best, but then it became worse and worse. I enjoyed more the clone saga of this show. The story arc six forgotten warriors was just dumb, especially the russian electro.
But what I really enjoyed most was the six arm saga. I hope Spectacular Spiddy get a similar arc too.

This show would have been better if:
1. No Censorship
2. Better Budget
3. Sandman appearance
4. Have Green Goblin show up before Hobgoblin
5. Limited number of superhero crossovers
6. Marvel Bankruptcy that got this show cancelled.

One of my gripes was the overuse of Morbius. Why was he treated like a major villain? He took up way too many episodes. I mean, look at the other villains we could have - and I think that we should have - seen more of instead of Morbius.
Norman Osborn's Green Goblin got three mere episodes against Spider-Man before he went into limbo. Venom got three episodes (or four, if you count his shadowy cameo at the end of "The Alien Costume, part 2")
CONTINUED NEXT POST
KCJ506 2 years ago 5
Poor Mysterio only got four episodes (and was killed off, which sucked). Vulture only appears in three episodes, before joining the Insidious Six near the end of the series. Hobgoblin only got five episodes, before getting arrested and never seen again. Rhino and Shocker only appeared in the Venom saga, then the Insidous Six episodes, and never again until near the end of the series.
We saw more of Morbius than any of those guys. That's just plain wrong.

The thing that i really hated most about this show was Man-Spider. I've never liked the idea of seeing my favorite superhero turn into a Monster. The censors the show thought that the word sinister would have been to scary for kids but having Spider-Man turn into a Spider monster that pukes acid was fine apparantly

While Spectacular's Norman was more calm and bad-ass about the situation, TAS had a more realistic approach. I mean, seriously, if you're getting chased by a crazy guy in a metal suit, you'd cry your ass off too.

@marnerbroman Wow, you couldn't even understand the subtle emotions the actor portrayed. While he was always dominating, he had 4 main personas as Norman; the boss, the one he uses while just insulting someone (haven't come up with a name yet), the father and the criminal scientist. He ranged. He was at times happy, at times angry, and at times indifferent. His voice was monotone, but he still got those emotions through. And the finale really showed his true self.
BalmungSama0 1 year ago
@marnerbroman This actor is a snivelling coward. he terrorized NYC? Fuck that. He can barely keep from wetting himself. He's suposed to be a captain of industry, a heavy hitter in the underworld, and a supervillain. SSM captures all of these perfectly. TAS failed in every last one.
