Spider-Man Unlimited (1999–2005)
Pretty Poor
26 February 2003
As with alot of people, I liked the first episode of this show, not great but not awful. Mentioned Uncle Ben,with importance to his origin , featured Nick Fury and J Jonah Jameson, even Mr Fantastic aka Reed Richards got a mention. Spider-man's famous red and blue costume even got a glimpse, and looked great, even including the netting ( a triangular piece of net like material ) which was present in Steve Ditko's design, though not used by some artists nowadays, but not the Fox cartoon. Then he gets to the planet, and we get to see the rubbish designs for animal humanoids, and it sucks from the first glimpse. The jokes spidey ( or whoever this imposter is, since he ain't no spidey) makes are lame. I don't blame the voice artist, just the script. Next come the design of the characters. Spidey's new costume is dumb, just a copy of the Spider-man 2099 comic book costume. Some of the characters are just plain boring, such as a guy in bandages, where an episode is dedicated to him and how he became that way. There are riffs on other characters, but they don't even try to hide it, like a Green Goblin character who is supposed to be an anti-hero. Over all, not good at all and deserved to be cancelled.
