Donomark Posted May 9, 2020 Report Share Posted May 9, 2020 Spectacular Spider-Man is the best Spidey show, but the 90s series is the one I grew up under, making it my favorite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
batguy10 Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 This was fun, thanks for this guys. I used to watch this as a kid, and (even then) I have always found that this show felt incredibly rushed. Upon rewatching it all these later, I’m realizing that this is probably because these episodes have pretty much wall-to-wall music. For a 20 minute episode there is probably 17-18 minutes of music, which is pretty outrageous. Especially when you compare this to other animated Superhero programs of the 90s, specifically STAS and BTAS. Speaking of BTAS, I always felt a large influence from that show on this Spider-Man series. Especially this first episode, the plot of which very closely mirrors “On Leather Wings”, the first episode of BTAS, featuring the scientist turned villain Man-Bat.

Missy Posted May 11, 2020 Report Share Posted May 11, 2020 Huh. That's an amazing catch! Thank you for pointing that out, 'cause I would have never realized the connection there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
