Spider-man over the years
As you've probably noticed by now, there has been no lack of Spider-man cartoon series for years. I have been able to recall about 4 series so far. So, I decided to make a comparison between the various spin-offs of one of the most popular comics of all time.
| Aspects \ Title | Spider-man (1995) | Spider-man Unlimited | Spider-man (2003) | The Spectacular Spider-man (2008/2009) |
| Plots/Characters | A well-developed and complex story line which set the bar high for future Spider-man spin-offs. I loved the exciting Venom & Carnage story arcs. | An alternate reality Spider-man with complicated sci-fi plots set in the distant future (think Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Fast Forward). Interesting alternate timeline characters like Karen & John Jameson (Jameson's son, I presume) were introduced. It's a pity the series was cancelled very early and the story was cut off abruptly. I don't know why many seem to hate this series. I found it a somewhat refreshing take of Spider-man. | A spin-off of the original Spider-man story. | Good remake of story plots with interesting storytelling. Peter is wittier than usual. |
| Animation | Not too bad considering the year it premiered. | Slightly better than the original, but the Spidey suit looked weird. | Poor 3D animation; the characters had odd facial expressions and showed artificial emotions. | The Spider-man suit looked almost like the original, though I can't stand the webpits (web armpits). The characters' eyes look weird. |
| Audio/Music | Hypnotic theme song. | Forgettable theme song with no lyrics. | I can't seem to recall the song at all. | Catchy tune & lyrics. The characters' voices (especially Peter & Jonah Jameson) sounded like those from the original Spider-man series, which was nostalgic. |
