New spiderman series on MTV

[Guest wildpegasus]

I just heard there's going to be a new spiderman series on MTV. Hopefully this'll be as good as the awesome series from 1994 to 1998. For anyone interested, here's the link:

It won't be. Trust me.

[Guest El Satanico]

Well it looks good so the quality of the show is now riding on the writing.

Thanks, but I prefer to actually see a show before I condemn it.

[Guest Mattdotcom]

I was excited about this show...

 

 

 

 

When they announced it last year. In fact, it should have already ended it's first season, but nope. DEEE-LAYED.

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

Is it just another animtated Spidey series? Or are they trying for something like Spider-Man Unlimited where he's in space and shit like that?

I believe it'll be an CGI animation version of the comic "Ultimate Spider-Man"

[Guest Big McLargeHuge]

That's not bad, I guess.

 

If it doesn't live up, I can still watch re-runs of of the Fox cartoon on ABC Family. Along with X-Men, Hulk, Fantastic Four and Iron Man.

Brian Bendis is doing some of the writing for the series. Can't be too bad, people generally like the comic.

It's actually based of of movie continuity, but with Bendis at the helm it'll probably feel a lot like Ultimate Spider-Man.

[Guest El Satanico]

The article said Bendis had to leave the project because of his comic commitments.

 

It also said Marvel wants to tone it down so it's more kid friendly.

[Guest Mole]

I won't watch it.

[Guest El Satanico]

And why is that

[Guest Lethargic]

It's gotta be worth watching. It's the only time you'll ever get Doogie Howser playing Spiderman.

[Guest CoreyLazarus416]

Wait...so Spider-Man needs to be kid-friendly now? Despite tons of KIDS loving the movie, the new show needs to be TONED DOWN from what it's like in the movie?

 

Bah!

[Guest Mattdotcom]

Oh, it features Peter and the gang in college at Empire State (I hope) and a buncha musicians play the villains. I believe Flea voices Electro, but he's actually a professional voice actor. Well, he's got experience at least.

[Guest El Satanico]

I believe you're misunderstanding what they meant by wanting to tone it down.

 

Apparently, Marvel wants to tone it down a little bit from what the studio has done so far... less sex, no blood, etc. I think the studio basically thought "Spawn". But Marvel wants to still have the 14-year-olds be able to watch it and not freak out their parents.

 

What I get from that is they want to tone down what they've seen in the finished footage for the CARTOON, not the movie. Honestly if they made Spiderman resemble Spawn, Marvel was right to speak up and say tonee it down. I wouldn't complain about a Spawn style Spiderman, but it doesn't fit in with the character.

[Guest wrestlingbs]

Knowing MTV, it will disappear mid-season whether it's a hit or not.

[Guest El Satanico]

If it's a hit it won't disappear.

 

If it's a hit MTV will play the fuck out of it.

[Guest TheMadmanGreg]

MTV kills anything that's any good. I hate MTV.

[Guest El Satanico]

MTV isn't Fox
