[@deadpoolrockz6410]

I know it wasn't intentional, but the ending for Spider-Man the Animated Series can be considered more open ended since it allows the viewer to consider whether or not Spider-Man finds his Mary Jane and returns home or will continue searching. Spectacular Spider-Man ending however is definitely a cliffhanger.

It's so weird that they censored punches and guns when Batman: The Animated Series was on the same channel/time slot previously. Batman was all punches and real guns.

[@kecukraftwork1988]

If I remember correctly, the producers of Batman had to fight pretty hard to keep the guns in. But ultimately it was allowed because of two main reasons: Gotham's aesthetic design - laser guns would have looked out of place in an art-deco world; and because most of the guns used were fully-automatic Tommy guns, of which aren't typically sold to the general public. And so censors allowed it because, in theory, they weren't overly concerned about kids getting their hands on working Tommy guns to imitate the show.

Growing up I couldn’t get enough of this show

[@enclavehere.7995]

I really do love the idea of Hobgoblin coming first, with Green Goblin showing up and proving he's more powerful than Hobgoblin, catching him off guard.

[@ryanstaiger1712]

I forgot how big Green Goblin’s glider was in this show, it’s big enough to fit 4 people😂

[@oepolish]

I'm an 80s baby so I saw Spider-Man and his amazing friends. But the 90s Spider-Man was the one that stands out, maybe because I was old enough then to remember it better.

[@Johnlindsey289]

82 and amazing friends in 87 with remember and I was 12 when this show aired

[@michaelbrent1536]

We definitely need to talk about the 90s Gargoyles, Captain Planet,Freakazoid(Dexter Douglas) and The magic school bus.

[@RedRanger9305]

Classic.

[@cybercop0083]

😂😂😂😂Why why WHY did you find it necessary to clarify that Freakazoid is Dexter Douglas???🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@frankf684]

Johnny Jockster the theme song did so why not.And don’t forget candlejack you can.......

@@frankf684 Don't mention C********k, or he'll pack you in a linen back to store you in the attic. Or was it the basement? Or a cupboard? I forgot. On purpose...

[@leonardpriestley6822]

Comic Spidey wasn't a teen in the 90's.

[@Openreality]

Your point? Neither was the original comic. I mean the Amazing universe original spiderman comics. He was in college when it happened. The other universes didn't all have it happen when he was a kid. Ultimate universe was one of the few that did, but the rest really didn't.

[@dillbert4084]

Don't let Joe Quesada hear you say that.

[@ssbfan33]

It was an awesome series and the crossovers were awesome.

[@sonicguyver7445]

I watched this with my dad when it aired. It blew my mind he recognized Shocker before the character's name was ever said. And I really liked how Hobgoblin came first here. The idea he was just an ambitious thug who was hired and outfitted by Osborne.

[@casual_bill8749]

Such a classic all the animated series were brilliant to be honest

The drum intro for the theme was so crisp. But the cancellation kinda stunted my viewing a bit.

[@kabakura-]

I was born in 2002 and I got to grow up with it. Thank God for re runs on the hub. My childhood consisted of transformers G1, spiderman, spiderman unlimited and batman beyond. The heart of the 90s

[@thestealthspider1523]

This series is literally my childhood🙌🏼I’m so glad i can watch it now on Disney +

[@Jinx_1981]

This was seriously the first thing I looked up on Disney+ on launch and I'm still SOO GLAD they have it on there

[@davidbjacobs3598]

Honestly, the finale is SO GOOD, I'm pretty okay with it being the end. Even that ending "cliffhanger" to me feels like something you want to see addressed, but don't actually need resolved. Not that I'd oppose a reboot of course...

[@80Bucks]

Yeah we know he finds Mary Jane we just want to see it happen

[@BOABModels]

This was my entry into Spider-Man fandom. It makes sense that I didn't know who the Sandman was before he appeared in Spider-Man 3 now! I had also read Ultimate Spider-Man by that point and I don't think he appeared in that either.

[@MegaJetty1]

Another thing to add to the Censorship seen in #4 at 6:55 is after 9/11, any footage featuring the World Trade Centers, flying vehicles crashing into buildings or even mentioning the WTC were removed. Examples: in the Man-Spider episode "Duel of the Hunters" after Kraven & Punisher save Spidey, they mention the car bombing of the WTC in 1993; that was cut. Also in the episode "Day of the Chameleon" when Chameleon flees S.H.I.E.L.D. a helicopter, he crashes into a building; that was cut. They didn't remove the shot of the WTC in the 1st live action TMNT, so why are they still doing it to Spider-Man TAS? I understand it was a horrific event but I think we've healed enough to move on and restore those scenes.

[@brianburkhardt3692]

‘94 spidey was my introduction to the character. I was born in ‘93, some of my earliest memories are of that show.

[@brianburkhardt3692]

Omfg the Water Clone arc! God, what a mad story arc for a kids show.

[@brianburkhardt3692]

DC TAS are also my introductions to all of those characters

[@drmattconrad77]

Scott absolutely ruined “while you’re down there”. Now every time Josh says it I imagine Scott cracking up.

[@willieholmes1483]

This is my favorite Spider-Man cartoon. And I was around for the ‘67 show.

[@ChrisLawton66]

Those relationships are taken directly from the comics. Either that or it's a phenomenal coincidence. My guess is they knew the comics much better that you think.

[@ricciocruz9937]

I can still hear the epic intro in my head, clear as day.

[@marscaleb]

I remember getting very confused reading about the Hobgoblin because I always thought that was the "real villain" and the Green Goblin was some temporary knock-off. Let's be honest, Hobgoblin is a cooler name.

[@brianp6859]

Not to mention hobgoblin had a cape which meant he must be stronger/better than green goblin 😂 little me thinking

[@joshjohnson3442]

Hobgoblin isn’t a bad villain, if you remove the thought that he’s a Green Goblin knock off. Was a much more important villain for Spider Girl though!

[@Scrinwaipwr]

Definitely the best Spiderman series to date.

[@Openreality]

Absolutely. I'll drink to that. Its a shame that such greatness may never grace our presence again. I hope he does one of these on mighty max, the one show i could never watch as a kid for whatever reason the fates through at me, either it was on when i went to church or our vcr was on the fritz. I have gotten to watch them on KZbin. Someone uploaded all of the episodes and they're still there.

[@mrcold8966]

Maybe adults and teenagers who watched the show didn't like HobGoblin (why they were watching a children's show I have no idea) but the vast majority of the kids viewing weren't huge comicbook nerds and the only reason they knew the green Goblin existed was because they saw his action figures at KB toys lol. To us 7 year olds watching it at the time HobGoblin was the OG and the Green Goblin was a goofy knock off who looked like one of Santa's elves

[@fortheloveofking]

Nothing like a 20 something year old telling me how something was received 26 years ago...

[@cybercop0083]

OK Boomer...

[@frankf684]

Johnny Jockster People of that generation wouldn’t have watched this show.

[@carlodurant87]

This kid probably wasn't even alive when the show ran from 94-98.

[@carlodurant87]

Sure i will take the advice of some kid who wasn't alive to see the show in the 90s about a show i was watching in middle school and high school. Thanks for your second hand advice

[@fortheloveofking]

@Randy Carter I knew how characters were received, yes. Me and my friends were all there.

[@SugarRayCharles.]

Batman the animated series was my favorite show. To this day Batman has remained my favorite superhero. As for Spiderman, I must admit that his show in the 90's was "always" interesting and suspenseful. Action in every episode.

[@jonathanpark7719]

I love that Laura Palmer t-shirt

[@TheMetalVagabond]

Spiderman the animated series, Xmen, Gargoyles, Batman animated series and Batman beyond, The Batman was good too, best Animated hero series shows ever, 60's marvel cartoons where cool to despite limited animation

I just re-watch this recently. Its one of my favorite comic cartoons

[@swancman]

We need to petition Disney to make the final season of Spider-Man!!!

[@suarezguy]

I think the show went out on top, it's OK that the reunion with Mary Jane be left to the imagination and what was implied.

[@JohnDoe-wq5eu]

Considering what they had to do to "tone down" the show they did an amazing job. The 90s and network TV were an interesting time. You could get away with some stuff you couldn't nowadays but also couldn't get away with other things.
