Is Ultimate Spider-Man (2012) A Good Show?

I've always felt this show is over hated. Perhaps because Spectacular is so good and this is the one that followed up that. But this is definitely better than Marvel's Spiderman and that one Avengers show.

Unpopular opinion of mine: I’ve always liked the show. This was one of the best parts of my childhood and always made me laugh. It shows a unique perspective on Spider Man and personally I feel like it’s great, although I have one complain which is that they completely left out Peter’s personal life after Season 1 of the show and made it more about his professional life. I feel that if they had shown an equal amount of both lives- it would have been a better show.

There are a few things I think this show did really well: 1. The Spiderverse shenanigans, each world having a different art style and this was way before Into The Spiderverse. 2. Some of the voice actors I think are really good mainly Tom Kenny as both Doc Ock and Vulture 3. This was the first time Miles was put into the screen, and they did a pretty good job with him

“is the ultimate spider-man a good show?” YES

I loved how in the Deadpool episode, Deadpool (being a notorious 4th wall breaker), is able to interrupt peters 4th wall breaks. And, since those are entirely in Peter's head, he freaks out and asks how he an even DO that saying "How are you in my head?!" To which Wade responds "Maybe you're in MY head" in his serious voice. I don't know i just think it was really cool how they did that, and it not only made the 4th wall breaks more bearable, it also gave them a purpose besides dumb jokes and basic explanations. The episode even ends with them constantly switching between fighting in reality and fighting in Peter's head, or 4th wall space or whatever that place is, which leads to some ridiculous shenanigans whenever they're in there. Also side note, you said that the scarlet spider is kaines hero identity, and not Ben Riley's, when actually, the name originally was Bens, but was adopted by Kaine later on. Though the suit they used for him is Kaines suit, and not one of the Ben Riley ones.

I actually loved this show and didn't know people hated it

Doc Ock is lawful chaotic. He lives by a strict moral code, but no one can figure out what it is

This spider-man is good in my opinion because it feels like regular show, most episodes don't ever match up with each other, but the ones that do, actually work really good together

I actually don’t know how to feel about this show, it’s not bad and I don’t know if it could fit into the category of good shows… it’s the first Spider-Man show I’ve got exposed to and… it’s hard to explain, it’s one of those shows I like to binge watch but there are some things there that make me not think about it much…

While not the best Spidey show, I'll take it over Marvel's Spider-Man.

I always thought the reason for giving Spider-Man a team of other teenaged heroes was to compete with Young Justice as that was still on TV when this was in production/started

This show got me into Spider man, as well as the Avengers tv show, Agents of smash, Guardians of the galaxy tv show and Disney infinity 2.0, which took inspiration from those tv shows. These introduced me to these characters, this world, the teams, stories, etc, this is what got me into Marvel and Marvel is my favourite thing of all time now. Hell, characters like White tiger, Nova (Sam Alexander), Skaar, A-bomb, Red hulk and She hulk, I’ve been wanting to see in the MCU because of these shows (not Iron fist and Luke cage since they were already in the MCU by the time I got hooked), and wouldn’t you know it, She hulk joined the MCU back in 2019 when her show got announced, so hopefully the other five aren’t far of. Also this would be the show that started my “superhero childhood crush” period, starting with White tiger, so you can thank or blame this show for making me a simp when I was younger.

In my opinion, it is a little bit a good show but not good as spectacular Spider-Man and when I watch Ultimate Spider-Man it feels like more a comedy show then a super hero show.

Honestly I’ve really grown to like Ultimate Spider-Man, it didn’t start out great but it grew into a great show over time in my opinion, with the Noir, 2099, and Miles Spider-Verse episodes as well as the return to Noir and Miles’ universes, and the Guardians crossovers, and the episode where Danny goes back home All of those were great to me, and I like the characters, mainly Flash, Wade, Sam later on, and Danny, and the ending with Peter working without all his shield tech was also great Ultimate didn’t start off great, heck it started off pretty Bad, but it has its highlights, and it got much better over time, so while initially despising this show I’d go as far to call this one of the good ones, it’s different and I applaud it for both doing that and doing it well.

I actually really like the art style of the show. With better writing, less shield involvement, more adult themes, no Drake Bell, more Ultimate Spider-man accurate story lines, no 4th wall breaking, the daily bugle, with JJ as a deeper character and no de-aging of characters like Iron Fist and Luke Cage. Maybe this could have been better.

“This isn’t twitter” Never have I been so happy to hear those words

I think one of the best episodes this show has to offer is the episode " nightmare" where Peter falls on his head and relives points in his life that were significant and makes him question being a superhero, it felt like the most down to earth episode aside from the crazy shenanigans we were used to seeing in the show, and its Christmas themed so it makes it even better. You could literally make a near 30 minute video on that one episode and i would enjoy the hell out of that.

I haven’t seen the show in a while, but seeing these clips, from the show you gotta admit the animation is very fast paced and pretty cool.. not a fan still but still… credit where credit is due. Also I very much wish they acknowledged the comic spiderverse event with ultimate bringing in that in all…

I loved it when he broke the fourth wall out of no where that was my favorite part of the show
