CAUTION This page is unofficial. Do not, by any standards, import this page. The Spectacular Spider-Man is an American animated superhero-action television series based on the superhero character published by Marvel Comics and developed for television by Greg Weisman and Victor Cook.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Everything that made the other Spider-Man cartoons is thrown away for some cheap, dumb, plastic, dull superhero cartoon with tons of flaws.
 * 2) Most of the time, the animation is cheap and slow at best, but at other times, it goes way too fast during action scenes, and it's hard to keep up with what's going. There's one scene in one episode where Eddie falls onto the Lizard which has one frame go by every half-second which can really hurt the viewer's eyes and may even cause seizures.
 * 3) Very, very, very poor grasp of the source material that could make Sam Ramini's trilogy seem very faithful.
 * 4) * Peter Parker works for Dr. Conners in this show, when Peter Parker actually never had a job in the first place. Although, he was into science.
 * 5) * Dr. Conners has a wife and a child in this show, but originally never did.
 * 6) * Eddie and Peter are actually friends in this show, but Peter and Eddie never knew each other before Eddie turned into Venom (which does happen in this show, for the millionth time).
 * 7) The writing! It's absolutely laughable. At one point, Eddie literally says "it's faster than I can  ID  them." Yes, rather than saying "identify" like a normal human being would do, he decided to use the acronym.
 * 8) Horrendous voice acting with loads of voice actors being miscasted with the wrong characters. Venom continously screams a lot with a boyish tone (because, apparently, in this show, Eddie is 17 years old), and Peter and Gwen sound way too old to be teenagers.
 * 9) Speaking of Venom, Venom has the ability to have his stomach have a mouth open! This is very out of place for a kids cartoon.
 * 10) Much like other Victor Cook projects, the characters make oddball expressions, such as the infamous cross-eyes like Dr. Conners' son getting cross-eyed over his excitement as well as The Lizard.
 * 11) Boring art-style and background designs, as it seems like there was little-to-no creativity. Everyone looks like a generic "copy-and-paste" character design from other action shows, as well as the backgrounds.
 * 12) Disney actually didn't want anything to do with this show, which is probably a good thing, because this show was cancelled all because of it.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) The designs of The Lizard, Kraven, and Venom are the least horrible out of all of the character designs.
