Okay so, here i go. this show,, is absolutely amazing. it's incredible. it's always been written off as terrible, lame, or childish. i'm here to tell you that's completely false.
what so many negative reviewers refer to when saying this cartoon sucks is the fourth wall breaking or the stops that spidey does during the show. i think it's absolutely brilliant. someone of these breaks are actually funny, if you loosen up instead of being super critical.
these breaks are so important because they explain why spidey can or can't do something, they explain certain situations, and are good recaps. and even being older, they can be super funny. sure some of them are childish, but keep in mind it's still a children's show.
in terms of peter parker's characterization itself, it's perfect. we see a TRUE heart of gold character. he's exactly how stan envisioned him. awkward, funny, and cares so deeply for the safety of others. going through the series, you'll understand what i mean.
other characters are also great. a lot of people love nova, and for good reason. each character has, well, character. they're all amazing in their own ways.
in regards to plot, it's spectacular. you really have to get past the buff of the first 6-7 episodes but by episode 25 of the first season, i was crying from how emotional i was. episode 8 really got into the "woah" type of plot. it gets darker than you'd expect this show to get when you first take a look at it. season 4 is especially heartbreaking. you have been warned.
overall, this show is heartwarming and full of amazing plots and characters. i recommend this for people who like animated shows such as young justice or voltron, as well as people who like funny and emotional shows. it's amazing. it's the ultimate show.

I wasn't so sure about this show at first. When I first heard about it I thought, "Why do they keep trying? They are just going to fail again." When I read the other reviews on here, I assumed it would be pretty bad, but it really isn't.
First, I'm going to talk about the weak parts. Don't expect me to know everything because I only saw the first 2 episodes so far, but do realize that this show is made for children. It's on Disney XD, so you can't watch it as an adult and expect it to be awesome. You have to bring out your inner child and watch the show as if you are that child you once were. I mention this because Spidey has many corny jokes that are childish. Even though they are, I still laughed at some and I am 20 years old. Also, it doesn't follow perfectly with the comics, so for you Spidey comic fans, don't be too upset with it. They are just trying to bring more children viewers.
The good parts of this show is that it kept me interested. The flashback/describing moments that Peter/Spidey has are well done and it is neat how they do it. You will know what I am talking about when you watch the show, which I suggest you do. It is a nice fast paced show and it has plenty of villains that make it very interesting. I know already that I am going to continue watching this series. I don't want to reveal anything about the show since I don't want to ruin anything, but I think Spider-Man could possibly be ultimate, as stated in the title.
In conclusion, the show has its moments and its weak parts, but all shows are like that. You can't create a perfect television show, especially a cartoon based off of a superhero. So, why not give it a try. I did with low expectations and I enjoyed it, so I hope you do also.

I think this was an amazing show, because Spider-Man wanted to learn how to be a real hero like Iron Man or Captain America. Throughout Peter's journey as Spider-Man, he learned about his teammates origins and he began to value his trust towards his team to stop the bad guys. Peter's training with SHIELD made him become the Ultimate Spider-Man. Another thing I loved about the show was how the character portrayals are accurate.
Ultimate Spider-Man follows Spider-Man (duh) as he gets recruited by SHIELD and leads a team of other teen heroes in a quest to become a better hero. If you want an animated version of the comics, then just watch the animated series from the 90s. Honestly it's better. But, the thing that makes this show special is all of its unique ideas and concepts. It takes an interesting spin on classic characters, such as Vulture, Scarlet Spider, Venom and many more. I can see why this show gets so much flak, especially from purists. In my opinion, how different it is is one of its greatest strengths. If it had just been another Spider-Man show that did nothing different then what would be the point?
I am so goddamn sick of people crapping all over this show and screaming how much 'spectacular spider-man was so much better'
... it wasn't. it really, really wasn't. I watched a good amount of the episodes when it premiered And there's nothing different. Why would I watch that when I could see the original 90's Spidey that adapted so many of the great stories from the comics, Spider-man unlimited with it's own unique storyline or even the cg Spider-man which used the movie as a jumping off point.
Ultimate spider-man uses elements from the original amazing spider-man comics and ultimate line story element to craft a story all its own of spidey's advancement to a new level. People constantly complain about the jokes, but that's spidey's thing. And even I can admit it gets grating at times, but trust me - it mellows out after the 1st season.
The story is completely serious when a two part event occurs with little to no joking. The spider-man character while seeming childish is probably the most mature peter parker I've ever seen. Watch the episode "Strange" and you'll know what I mean. It doesn't waste time on the bullshit Maryjane relationship, or really any teen drama whatsoever. It focuses on action and the comic book styled storytelling
... oh and the "great power and great responsibility" bit is said the least I have ever, Ever! Heard in any spidey series I have seen. You know why, cause this peter doesn't need to constantly telling himself that overused as hell line!
I love it. Even if it does have flaws, I still suggest checking it out. It's really great series just to watch spidey crack jokes and kick ass!!!
