I am massively obsessed with this version of spiderman, even though my first spiderman show was spectactular spiderman, the 1994 verison of SPIDERMAN is the best, i saw most of it online before sometime ago and now I watching it again that whole series needs to be revised as a MOVIE from the LIzard vs spiderman hobglobin vs spiderman venom vs spiderman greengoblin vs spiderman, the disappearance of mary jane, neogenics - spiderman- morbious-craven-punisher, the black cat-king pin, silvermane, Blade and Spiderman vs the queen of vampires, captain america-6 forgotten warriors vs the red skull, sinister 6, xmen and spiderman crossover, then the BEYONDER's CHALLENGE and then MULTIVERSE SPIDERMAN VS SPIDERCARNAGE and then there is also an exclusive episode on youtube that where you find out that MARY JANE is finally found but Spiderman is with Madame the Black web and she and spiderman are very close to where Mary Jane ended up, but unfortunately they missed her because Madame spider's dimension ship broke mid way to reach her, so Peter left her and was teleport'd to the area Mary Jane was calling Peter out from in a new universe time line. That last episode really gave hope to Spiderman fans to finally make peace with the end of the original series. The best part is you can hear the voice of that PETER and it's the same guy who did the voice of the original SPIDERMAN of 1994 series.

Blade might have been the first marvel character to have a successful movie, but it was not the first one featuring a black superhero or even be r rated. That belongs to Spawn which came out 1997.

People didn’t see blade because it was a comic book movie, marketing did all they could to hide that fact and any connection to marvel in general, that’s why it doesn’t count: it was marketed as a straight up action/vampire movie. X-men brought straight up comic heroes into good movies, and sm furthered it while expanding into normalizing costumes.

Toei did that a lot, back in the 70s. Tatsunoko as well. Animation was never very good (yeah yeah, deadlines, I know), but Mazinger Z tai Ankoku Daishogun is still legendary to this day. Plot: Kabuto Kouji, a high school Chad by day and a super robot pilot by... different times of the day. He lives in Anywhere (real-life Atami-chou in reboot Shin Mazinger), Japan, Kouji fights against the evil robots of Doctor Hell after his grandfather dies and leaves him Mazinger Z-- an invincible mechanical monster that has the power to make Kouji a god or a devil. Kouji learns to pilot Mazinger, overcoming the difficulties of controlling the damn thing, culminating in the made-for-TV movie Mazinger Z vs The Great General of Darkness. It was here that the animation saw a drastic increase in quality, as well as pitting Kouji against his own mortality. For the first time, it's a very real possibility that Mazinger will lose against the general and his cronies. I highly reccomend the film to any comic book fans who want to get into Japanimation.

It was the ‘90s Spider-Man theme that did it for me. That was simply the one I remember watching first as a kid, but I know exactly what you mean.

[@Kingmegadon]

As soon as the first note of the X-Men intro started playing, instant head banger mode.

[@McSuperfly101]

I remember watching Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends back in the 80’s which would regularly include episodes with characters like Iron Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor, Nick Fury, Storm, Cyclops etc...

[@vincentleone940]

I brought up this same point in a comment just a few minutes ago. Heck the leads alone were a crossover. Spidey, future X Man Iceman, and Firestar who in the comics became a part time Avenger herself. So right there you have an XMan, an Avenger, and Spidey as the 3 leads.

[@edwnx0]

the 90s cartoons had a huge impact because all the kids who grew up watching it are now grown up and the main audience of the movies! without the Spider-Man cartoon, i wouldn't know about Daredevil, Captain America, etc.

[@KaizerMan]

Yeah not the main audience. People born from around 1992 onwards were unlikely to have seen most of these series upon initial broadcast but I’d say those people are the majority of the audience. Like at least 1 in 5 of the cinema-goers/movie-viewers wont have spent their childhood in that Marvel cartoon golden era But I do agree though and definitely feel without the cartoons who knows if we’d have had the 00s cartoons or X-Men movies or Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man’s. The cartoons defo set off a snowball effect culminating with the MCU

[@grobanworldnews4216]

The animated X-Men show was so much better than the live action movies.

[@agentofchaos7456]

[@vrushabhbhaskar1348]

SO GLAD I FOUND THIS VIDEO! 12:28 I remember watching this episode as a teenager (during the mid-2000s). Then, Jetix Channel aired the 90's Spiderman animated series in India! And boy Was I HOOKED BY THE SHOW! Used to watch it every day after school! As an Indian kid who had grazed through Fantastic 4, X-Men and Hulk, I was psyched by that episode. Also, that was the first time I SAW IRON MAN, AND his Suit-Up scene BLEW MY MIND. As a child, these little things have a huge impact on you, and I'm glad I got to witness this

[@HVSF-gm6xe]

This was genius i never thought of the fact that all those cartoons were connected. You are right in a way it was the original mcu. I wish marvel could make an animated universe like this again but done right.

[@ReblazeGaming]

Kendall Versus I mean we had ultimate spiderman and hulk and the agents of smash. They were in the same universe

[@HVSF-gm6xe]

ReblazeGaming true but it just wasnt nowhere near as good as this. There universe had too many flaws and shows were mostly bad

[@Seras99]

I thought this universe have about.... three our four multiverse?

[@HVSF-gm6xe]

Yea

[@OM19_MO79]

Kendall Versus The connection is artificial, there's no real continuity across the shows except for that appearing in the Marvel Action Hour shows and Hulk. About Spider Man and X-Men, there's no proof of a real single continuity, but since both continuities don't contradict too much, it's been accepted that they occur in the same universe because of the episode "The Mutant Agenda", which loosely connects both shows. Marvel has never done it right and has tried it 3 times (Yostverse, Disney XD, and the current one).

[@andrewbreland7293]

This is my childhood. And now I watching them again with my kids

[@Talion-jv1zp]

For those of you that have the possibility, please give the 2nd Season of Fantastic 4 Show a try. The animation is so much better than in the first Season and its a really, really great show. Especially the episodes where the Fantastic 4 team up with Galactus to stop Ego or team up with Thor and Ghost Rider to stoo Galactus are outstanding in my opinion.

[@fro-zone2k]

Multiverse Fact: The two 90's Marvel cartoons takes place in Earth-92131, (the number 92131 means a reference to October 31, 1992, the premiere date of the first episode of X-Men: The Animated Series). Speaking of 92131, the Marvel Action Hour cartoons takes place in Earth-534834, which is a separate universe to the primary 90's Marvel.

[@charleschamp9826]

I think another video like this but on how the Marvel Animated Universe effected the comics would be a really interesting video. The biggest influence I know of off the top of my head would be the idea of symbiotes, or at least the Venom symbiote, making the host more prone to anger and lashing out at people was introduced by Spider-Man TAS.

[@PanelstoPixels]

I'd love to make a follow-up video at some point. I didn't even get to talk about all the tie-in comics and the recent X-Men '92 comic. I did have the fact about the symbiote suit making the host more powerful and aggressive in my original script but it got cut due to time constraints. Thanks for watching!

[@joelbaldwin4051]

rshadio Some of it. A lot of stories they did predated Lee (Jim, not Stan) being at Marvel. The characters used were from the (Jim) Lee era, with the exception of Morph (who I thought was created for the cartoon for the sole purpose of being killed off because of how generic a character he and his powers were--turns out he was in the comics for a long time a while back).

Marvel nearly made a shared animated universe in the 80, with Spider-Man and his Amazing friends serving as the launching point. Unfortunately, only Hulk spinoff show came to fruition while others didn't go into production (Iron-Man, Daredevil, Ant-Man, X-Men (unrelated to later "Pryde of the X-Men"... even Secret Wars animated series was planned at one point!). After that, they attempted doing a live action shared universe using Incredible Hulk TV movies as launching point. BTW, 13:50 You used a clip of JJJ where Jim Cummings was filling in for Ed. :D

[@Icybubba]

They're still trying to create an animated universe today with Avengers Assemble, Guardians of the Galaxy, and Spider-Man. There's a lot of problems with this one like the fact that there's technically 2 Peter Parker's, also there was the Hulk show that was canned that I actually enjoyed but everyone hates that never gets referenced in the other shows with Hulk in it (Ultimate Spider-Man and Avengers Assemble). There's also the whole thing where it sounds like everything is going to be cancelled and they're going to try again. The current universe is not horrible, I like the new Spider-Man show, Guardians of the Galaxy is ok, and the later seasons of Avengers Assemble have been fine. Still I'd be ok with starting over and trying again, maybe relaunch Avengers EMH and have that as your starting ground
