I do see some valid points tho. It's def not great, but it is what it is. A shitty Spidey show is better than no Spidey show.

Spiderman is such a beloved character that he is arguably the most popular Marvel character ever created. With that, is it really that unreasonable to feel dissed that as popular as this character is, Marvel's powers that be feel it not only necessary to presume to know what kids find amusing, but to embrace and declare the statement that they are only making it with kids in mind knowing full well many of their viewers are themselves parents, or adults in general, who are also fans of him?

I would go so far as to say much of their kid audience was influenced by their parent(s) who are also Spidey fans to watch the show so they could enjoy the family activity together. So yeah, I personally take offense as a long time fan that Loeb/Quesada basically said they could care less about what adult fans think by saying its for the kids.

Pixar's films have been so successful because they not only made their movies with kids in mind, but also kept in mind and respected the parents who would have to take those kids to the theaters and not force them to watch 110 minutes of crap on a big screen. They made something kids and adults could both enjoy. Seeing as how Pixar is owned by Disney, I expected Marvel to maintain that philosophy. Guess my expectations are unreasonable.
