Brick Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 I will add to the love of Spectacular Spider-Man. Really fantastic show with great writing, and they did Venom really, really well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I love what they did with him was Spoiler that Eddie wasn't just some rival journalist that couldn't catch a break, and got jealous of Peter, but they made him and Peter really good friends, almost like Eddie was an older brother to Peter, but Peter legitimately fucked things up between them that you understood Eddie's growing resentment towards him. It was Peter's own fault for ruining their friendship. Add in a murderous symbiote to bond with Eddie, and you get Venom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5timechamp Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Is this a Spectacular Spiderman love fest? Count me in… great show, solid individual episodes that tied in to bigger overarching stories… the Green Goblin misdirection still worked. We were definitely robbed, made it that much easier to hate what we got in its place.. So X-men… they got the original Wolverine voice actor sure, but his voice “lacks” what it had in his younger days… Morph looking like chameleon from spiderman is different…Hopefully Jubilee gets the “shut up Meg” treatment. Even as a kid I didnt love X-men and this looks “lesser” than what was back then.. hopefully the stories pick up the slack… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeneticBlueprint Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Re: '90s Spider-Man. Loved it when I was a kid. My oldest has been watching all the Spider-Man content on Disney+ and he went through that one. I actually disagree with the people here. It has not held up well IMO. And it's the only one my son doesn't revisit. There's at least two newer ones (don't remember their specific titles) but my son watches those over and over again. I also recently watched some old '90s X-Men. That has held up a lot better. I like the look of this trailer because even though it's probably not hand drawn/animated, it looks so. It has the feel of the original but just slightly polished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kal-El814 Posted February 16 Share Posted February 16 Whenever I think about "old" X-Men stuff, I'm reminded that a bunch of shit that people assume came from the comics actually came from the movies, like Magneto's helmet blocking Chuck's telepathy. I assume there's similar stuff from the cartoon that I'm just not remembering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might just be confusing the two. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 3D environments they tried to integrate in the Spider-Man 90s cartoon were HORRENDOUS even at the time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 This isn't exactly a positive development: Marvel Shocker: ‘X-Men ’97’ Creator Beau DeMayo Fired Weeks Before Premiere (Exclusive) WWW.HOLLYWOODREPORTER.COM In an unusual situation on the eve of a project's debut, the writer-producer, who worked on 'Moon Knight' and 'Blade', will no longer be promoting the show or moving forward with future seasons. Quote Earlier this month, Beau DeMayo was in the midst of a particularly busy time at Marvel Studios. The writer-producer was preparing for the launch of X-Men ’97, the Disney+ series he created as a continuation of the beloved ‘90s Fox Kids show. DeMayo, a Marvel regular who previously wrote on live-action series Moon Knight as well as early drafts of the company’s delayed-but-still-upcoming vampire thriller Blade, had completed writing duties on season two of X-Men ’97, was lining up press, and making plans to attend the show’s Hollywood premiere on March 13. He was even discussing loose ideas for a third season with members of his team. But early last week, Marvel and DeMayo suddenly parted ways. His company email was deactivated and cast and crew were informed he was no longer on the project. DeMayo’s Instagram account, once a source for X-Men updates, was deleted. No reason for the firing was given. Marvel had no comment. DeMayo’s representatives did not return calls for comment and emails to the showrunner yielded no response.

CitizenVectron Posted March 13 Author Share Posted March 13 Yeah, a lot of speculation as to why. He's deleted all his social media and Disney isn't commenting...so I am assuming something behaviour-related. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn’t it be funny that it turns out it was him that started the online thingy about Rogue’s ass/tits not being “sexy” enough anymore. but in all seriousness, it’s probably worse Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 21 Share Posted March 21 I watched the first 2 episodes last night and it was a hit of nostalgia. Some of the voices sound older but still great to hear. The animation works out better than I thought with the more classic early season look, and not the weird crappy shitty animated stuff by the last original season. As for X-Men going woke, well “News Flash” folks. The series has always been a parallel line to being gay/different but still looking for acceptance in society. Plus it does a great job of just continuing/expanding the story from the original series. Wonder if they’ll get a cameo again from our 90’s Spider-Man, or Captain America from that Logan flashback episode Oh, at least on Disney+ Canada. They had the first season up for Spectacular Spider-man again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

silentbob Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 That was indeed trippy (bowl of both Malawi and C99) I believe I still followed the story but iIt’s be interesting to see when where she was taken for the cloning process. Plus that whole opening doomed future vision plays differently somehow but wonder how the road will twist/turn its way there. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
