A few months ahead of the release of The Amazing Spiderman in theatres, Marvel has created Ultimate Spiderman, a new animated series to introduce a new generation to the Spiderman character. Trouble is this isn’t the Spiderman Marvel fans grew up with.

Fight For Paradise Review: This reality show is nothing new but there are so many uncomfortable moments that will definitely give you the ick.
This is EXACTLY what I was afraid of when Disney bought Marvel....The first episode was alright, but nothing like that of Spectacular Spider-Man.
I watched this and Young Justice for the first time (which is where the Spectacular Spider-Man crew went) and Young Justice is amazing. I honestly wish Spectacular Spider-Man got to continue....I can only imagine what they could have done with a long term deal, and then putting Spidey in the black suit for a while. It was honestly on the road to compete with the 90's show.....
However I'm glad Sony took the movie instead....rather not have another visual effects frenzy Marvel/Disney movie....crossing my fingers this ones focus is story instead.
Well, at least the art style is way better and much more detailed than that sloppy one on Spectacular Spider-Man.
I am going to give this show a little bet more time before I compared it much to Spectacular Spiderman. I really didnt like the art on Spectacular Spiderman to much but the animation was good. My 3 year old nephew watched Spectacular Spiderman and loved it and Im hoping he likes this as much as that show. We both really like the Avengers Mightiest Heros so I cant say Disney is to blame. I lol at the part were spidey tricks flash into hiding in the locker.
I actually kind of liked it. It's definitely a bit childish, but I think the storytelling will mature. There's a lot of set-up required in the first couple episodes, and since they side-stepped the origin story, there really wasn't a lot of room for development. Not to mention they also introduced SHIELD, and explained that.
I started watching Spectacular right before it was cancelled. I've watched the first season, but not the second yet. It's pretty good, but I definitely don't think it's as amazing as everyone makes it out to be. I prefer the 90's cartoon, by a lot.
Couple things I don't like about Ultimate: Aunt May, he already knows Mary Jane (which may have been true in the Ultimate comics, I don't know. I just like the "jackpot" line), he's part of a team (Ugh).
Oh, and Young Justice is awesome. And I really like Avengers EMH, too.
