Spider-Man : Don't Hide Abuse

We get it. "You don't solve anything with violence." It's Spider-Man. It's not funny to be the 75th comment to point this out.
Officially considered 'lost' by the Lost Media Wiki (until now), here's a tape I've had for about 15 years. Because it's an educational Spider-Man cartoon, it was only distributed to schools and libraries. I worked at a library while we were transitioning to DVDs and Blu-rays, so I brought home some of the stuff that was headed for the dumpster. Unfortunately, this is only one tape of a set of four, and we never had the others.

For everyone joking about "you don't solve anything with violence", this was made for real life educational purposes to aid children possibly suffering from abuse.

When I was in middle school, I was abused by a special ed teacher (I have autism, BTW) She would threaten detention willy nilly, read my parents' emails to the class, pull me out of Chinese class for arbitrary reasons and let kids bully me. By eighth grade, I was always checking my back to see if things I said and did would anger her. I remember getting triggered and reminded of the pain at Disneyland (one of my favorite places). When I got back home, I told my therapist what happened, and she brought up the possibility of me having PTSD. I tested as having severe PTSD, but I felt that I couldn't tell my parents. So, I called a family therapy session for my therapist and me to tell them. When I had my therapy group later that day, the group leader said I looked lighter. And I felt lighter too.

I like that green goblin could of be robbing banks or carnage could be killing thousands and Spider-Man is just hanging out with kids but as much I joke this was a amazing PSAT vary informative.

[@cartoonliker7820]

There should be more cartoons like this to help spread a good message about safety and these kind of things. Using super heroes is a really effective way to help spread those messages

[@kyliethelittlespider-mangirl94]

That’s awesome! Let’s hope that someone will find the other ones! Also Spidey looks like he was from the Animated Series from the 90’s (albeit without Christopher Daniel Barnes’ voice) but everyone else look like characters from the Slimer cartoon from The Real Ghostbusters.

[@jeremyriley1238]

Well, cartoons back in the 60's, 70's, 80's and 90's tend to recycle animation and character frames as a way to save the time and money that would otherwise be spent having to have someone draw new cels of the characters.

[@dillbert4084]

@@jeremyriley1238 When Spider-Man was a guest star on Muppet Babies, they mostly reused animation from both the 61 and 81 series. It's kind of funny they combined those two when they looked so different.

[@Supertron1]

@@dillbert4084 Yeah, it's kind of weird that they needed to use any animation from the 67 series. It seems like they would have had more than enough animation from the 81 series.

[@Launchpad05]

I disagree because the 90's cartoon had TMS doing most of the animation. Here, the animation was done by Akom.

Different situations

[@davidwallgren7575]

For those of you not getting the picture regarding Spidey, what these kinds of PSAs were is they take kids' favorite cartoon characters and basically put them in an alternate universe for educational purposes instead of their regular adventures from their respective shows. And another thing, Spidey is talking about a serious issue and you people have the gal to make a mockery of it. Really?

That bad tempered father should be arrested for child abuse after hitting his daughter. What he needs to understand is that you don't ever put your hands on a girl out of anger, child abuse is against the law and you should never solve anything with violence. It hurts most of the neighbors around our town.

[@cooperminion825]

The problem is that it's basically her word against her father's. It's unfortunate but unless there are adults who can identify abuse, Maria's stuck with her asshole father and enabler mother
