Featured review
I'll admit that this isn't the worst Spider-Man show ever made. Not by a longshot...
However, it leaves a LOT to be desired. We went through 5 years of Ultimate Spider-Man, which was bad enough. I appreciate this show for not doing the EXACT same stuff as the last show we had, but... it's not great, and it feels almost like a direct continuation of Ultimate in some areas. The writing seems to be only a NOTCH above the quality of Ultimate, since that show was mostly just a comedy.
However, one thing I will say is wrong with the show, and I think the biggest issue by far, is how it takes away from the individuality of Spider-Man as a character, Peter Parker in specific. I feel like they should have stuck to one version of Spider-Man/Spider-Woman as opposed to trying to do all of them. Every show we've ever gotten that's had the headlined title Spider-Man has focused on Peter Parker, yet Peter feels like a background character in this one even though he's supposed to be the main character. If you're gonna do a reboot, how about take advantage of the other popular Spider-Characters out there? They could have EASILY made Miles Morales or Gwen Stacy the main character, especially with their elevated status within the Marvel Pantheon thanks to the then-upcoming Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse film. The show could have been a massive tie-in with Into the Spider-Verse. However, it decided to focus on Peter again, which is fine, but then don't go making him the comedic relief in his own show while doing the "everyone else solves the problem except the bumbling, idiot main protagonist". I get that Spider-Man is a teenager, and he's supposed to make mistakes, but if you do it to the level as this show does it, it makes it hard to root for our hero and it makes you think "why is this guy the main character?"
I dunno. That's just me. Show's over, tho, so hopefully, once Freshman Year is said and done, we can FINALLY get a proper, new Spider-Man animated series.
