The MASSIVE Impact of Spider-Man TAS

The thumbnail is talking about the widely believed misconceptions about the show facing heavy censorship, not saying this show is hated or something. Come on, it's IN the video guys I don't know why everyone's feeling so stumped and challenged by this.

Man, I never knew how closely the raimi movies followed this show, especially the Symbiote arc. That’s a really cool callback and makes me respect how innovative TAS really was.

Weirdly, the dated CGI just looks 'stylized' now, which makes the animation in general look even better imo. In combination with the hand-drawn pieces of animation, this show looks better than most animated shows today.

I think Christopher Daniel Barnes is really underrated as Spider-Man, he's always the voice I hear when I read the older comics from the 60's and 70's. He just has this sort of old fashioned charm that no other Spidey has.

John Semper might be one of the most cracked writers and comic-content influencers out there, but he gets so little love for it. He's also really cool, and he's fully aware that he pioneered the first Spider-Verse arc. Dude's a legend, I hope he gets more respect in the coming years

The words of John Semper himself about the series finale. "When Peter Parker meets Stan, and finally pronounces: "I am like myself," then his story is over. He has gone beyond his creator. Now he's his own creation. Many people think that I slapped Stan into that series as a cheap trick, but the more important issue is always overlooked. Here is a guy who stands in front of his creator (in fact, in front of his god) and says: "You know what? I am beyond what you have created, with all my flaws and problems. I have faced the test that you have done for me and now I am beyond it. And I am like myself." When a hero says something like that, there is nothing more to tell about his journey, and his saga is over. And who cares if he saves the girl or not?" From myself, I will add that the finale gives search of her so that there is no doubt that she will be found. So there is no need to show it.

I never thought the final scene was a cliffhanger I always assumed that Spider-Man is finally going to be reunited pretty easily with Mary Jane and finally have a happy ending. It ending on his spider symbol on his chest was the finale for me

Almost no one praises the score behind this series. It was masterful. Villains had their own thematic score, which helped the immersion even more. The slow notes in sad moments always hit extra hard.

Curt Connors as a college professor happened in the late 70s, and he was there in one of the funniest scenes when Spider-Man saw Peter Parker got an A in his exam paper held by the head of his department. Even the bit of Peter being lab assistant for Curt Connors is a thing that happened in the comics, but not in the "He helped him with the lizard formula" bit.

Honestly, I think the “deaths” being a portal gun is more impactful because every death in comics has and can be undone, but that portal gun showing up was a scary thing because you never knew if they could or can show up again. This version of Spidey was easily the standard for me for many many years and still could be somewhere subconciously. I also want it noted that Spider-Man threw 3 punches in the entire show.

My first exposure to Spider-Man TAS was when my dad got me the DVD set of all the episodes in the Mutant Agenda and Morbius arcs, but from there I was hooked. Especially given the strict as hell network restrictions the show was forcibly under, they did a great job at trying to not dumb down the material and it's probably one of the absolute best Spider-Man adaptations outside comics. Spectacular barely edges it out in terms of shows, but it's still a solid show, and Christopher Daniel Barnes IS Spider-Man to me next to Josh Keaton and Yuri Lowenthal

Dude, this show is what made me fall in love with the character. I couldn't afford to get into the comics when I was a kid, so Spider-Man TAS is how I learned more about Spidey and his lore.

8:29 She was also voiced by Stan Lee's wife Joan. And they hopped dimensions to give Stan a cameo where he compliments her. It was really sweet.

I grew up in a small town, i'm talking like, 2,000 people small, and I used to get picked on to no end because I would bring a fanny pack full of Spider-Man toys with me to school everyday. It was this version of Spider-Man that showed me the escape that Peter had from his life while being Spider-Man.

21:34 yeah unfortunately the showrunners of the X-Men cartoon chose to edit the episodes on video tape and ditched the original film masters. That's why we don't have a remastered bluray set of it and it looks low quality. Because the showrunners weren't thinking longterm or about DVD blurays. They just wanted a cheap and faster way to produce episodes.

I think the reason that the raimi movies are so similar to this show is because of one man. Avi Arad. Avi was a major producer on both this show and the raimi films. I think avi even has a substantial credit on the first part of the alien costume saga in this show.

This show, Spectacular, and the Raimi trilogy were my childhood man. All of these made me a total Spider-Man fan and introduced me to marvel and comics as a whole. Christopher Daniel Barnes is one of the greatest of all time SM voice actors. This channel always produces gold, cheers.

This show is literally my earliest memory or one of the earliest memories I have. I remember being 3 years old and watching Spidey fight Venom on VHS at my uncle's house. It's what made me a Spider-man fan in the first place. So yeah, I'd say it had a gigantic impact, at least on me personally.

To be fair, Xavier did say it wouldn't take 7 months for the next part of the retrospective to come out in the last part. It took him over a year, not 7 months, so he technically didn't lie. Just cut him a break, the dude's married now.

This show was a culmination of the core material in the care of a devoted writer. It's as important to its character as Batman TAS was. Christopher Barnes = Kevin Conroy. I think this PS1 game should be mentioned too.
