The Spider-Man that Became a Meme

[@bluekel615]

​@@jessicapinkman-xm2egNo, he has the same voice actor as the 60s Spider-Man from the first Spiderverse film and he looks identical to 60s Spider-Man, there is nothing to prove that he's the original Spider-Man, there's more evidence pointing towards 60s Spider-Man.

[@drawmest]

"I can do anything you can!" "AH- I pulled something!"

[@tiablue9106]

My fav “meme-able sequence” I’ve seen from this show (and tbf I don’t know the context but) is when spider-man shoots some web onto a window, then punches a hole in the glass, then just opens it. It’s not like he reached in and unlocked the window, he just opened it bc apparently it wasn’t locked to begin with. Both him shooting the web and him punching the glass was completely unnecessary lol

[@lufrog6465]

That one joke has literally convinced me to watch the show. Small jokes that often don’t make it to reviews ARE my joy. The idea of Webbing, breaking and then just straight up opening a completely unlocked window is such a good visual gag. I hope there’s plenty of that kind of gag! Sounds like a good goofy experience.

Also shows how bad Miguel’s selection process is if this guy is a better option for his team than Miles

[@theradionicrevival8068]

@@mrcritical6751 MINOR SPOILERS I kinda thought that was the point considering his whole character is supposed to be misguided but wrong and coming from an understanding place. Like a representation of spidey fans, the legacy of Spider-Man and miles reception alike mixed in with general interpretations of traits 2099 already had. I mean out of a whole legion of spidermen all on the same side as him, (some of which being literal animals) he’s the only one foaming at the mouth with bloodshot eyes and running on all fours. Characters question if he’s even really a Spider-Man/hero at all numerous times in the movie with how obsessed he is about upholding his legacy despite not being much like peter or his stories at all. I feel like him building a legion of spider people who aren’t the type to go against him is intentional otherwise the miles incident he had on the subway would happen with 10 other spidermen a week lmao. So of course his choosing his shitty. Even his grudge and logic towards miles doesn’t make any sense anyways considering it was kingpin who started all this. Miles didn’t even have to help but chose and was pushed to through the blessing of 2 (and later 6) spidermen total. If he chose to do nothing the whole spiderverse would be fucked and there’d be a billion more spots running around 💀 So Miguel’s logic clearly isn’t all there

[@mrcritical6751]

@@theradionicrevival8068 honestly I think Miguel likely became more picky after he destroyed the other 2099 universe. He wouldn’t have picked Peni and Peter B if he was that reluctant to recruit Gwen, my guess is after he realised what anomalies and canon events were he became much sterner in his selection process and kept all spider-people who’d likely turn on him, refuse to help keep canon events going and would take Miles’ side out. Honestly the one decision I’m questioning is Pravitr as he hasn’t experienced his canon events yet, has only been Spider-man for 6 months and can’t take shit seriously cause he thinks being Spider-man is easy, why would Miguel hire him? Was he hiding the canon events from him?

[@Baba_babaA]

​@@mrcritical6751nah the only reason he didn't picked miles because he got bitten by spider from another universe which means he never supposed to be bitten making him anomaly in Miguel eyes.

[@MarlaAndRubyT]

It really speaks to Ralph Bakshi‘s legendary status just seeing the difference between seasons 1 and 2. Season 1 is about what you expect for a low budget 60s cartoon, so for the guy to suddenly inject so much mood and atmosphere on an even SMALLER budget really is just such a good example of his strengths as an animator. I don’t love everything he’s made, but damn if the man never fails to create something worth looking at.

Great video! I've seen lots of people cover this series, but you're one of the only people who seems to really know what he's talking about. Apart from letting that one 1981 meme slip in. I'll tell ya one thing, in the comics Spidey did make himself stuff out of webs more often then you'd might think, of course it never went as far as a web-boat I love how when you look at the way The Rhino moves you can see that they were capable talented animators, they just weren't used to animating outside of comedy, with these characters who had human proportions and had to look cool or scary instead of stupid or silly.

[@FTZPLTC]

Great seeing some of these older shows getting attention. Would love to see a retrospective on the old animated Star Trek.

[@Kira_Haon]

I really like this review, I had the first season on DVD as a young kid, who grew up, watching the 90s show and realised immidiatly, how the state of the character and the comics had evolved. At least this series gave us Charles Cameo, I hope he returns in Beyond the Spiderverse.

[@king-of-draic8745]

This Spidey along with Tobey’s and the 90’s show Spider-Man we’re the Spider-Men of my childhood. I still watch this show occasionally and despite the ridiculousness of it, it’s still highly charming and hilariously entertaining. It’ll forever be a gem, not the shiniest of gems among Spider-Man shows/movies, but a gem nonetheless.
