Haha ya I really wish they would do a regular comic book version of Nick Fury.

But the daydream scenes? What they actually reminded me of, is that Ultimate Spiderman seems to be trying to catch the Teen Titans audiance, or at least trying to fill that same niche.
That's it exactly. Only problem is, Teen Titans did that kind of stuff really well (while balancing extremely silly, and movingly serious all at the same time), and Ultimate Spiderman just isn't the kind of series that works with.

Agree with you there Jetty, as much as I am a Marvel man, TT is better than this show.

OOOOOO my biggest peeve in the world... adult nerds who get pissy because a comic or toy franchise is being marketed to kids. Transformers boards are FULL of them. What is wrong with making a kids friendly Spider-Man? He's a comicbook character for christsakes! I fully endorse and LOVE the fact that he's not the angsty, whiny, self-admonishing, and obnoxious character they turned him into during the late 1990's and into the 20xx's. I LOVE the 4th dimension breaks. Spider-Man SHOULD be quippy, and indulging. Part of Spider-Man's fighting style, ever since the 60's, was running his mouth to annoy adversaries and to bring the reader in. Deadpool stole that from Spider-Man and upped the ante a bit, but Spider-Man was the original funnyman of Marvel, and it's nice to see that side of Spidey for a change, rather than constantly being bombarded with "Oh, woe is me coz I'm poor Peter" that was beat into our heads with the live films, 90's cartoon, and a lesser extent, "Spectacular Spider-Man".

Ultimate Spider-Man appears to me to take less from Spectacular and the 90's cartoon, and instead get it's inspiration from the fantastic 80's "Spider-Man and his Amazing Friends" cartoon. Not just because of the SHIELD teamups, but the overall direction they took with Spider-Man as a character. Obviously, I base this on only two cartoons, and a lot can happen in a series (Transformers Prime is and example of that.. hated the pilot, but LOVE the series now), but I am more than willing to place my faith in Marvel Animation, because they haven't failed me yet.

I'm glad this is kid friendly, and yes I agree with you on the tfw boards, they get way to into it being that TF is for kids. Although Prime does seem to be more darker than Spiderman.
Honestly they should have called this show Spiderman and his Amazing friends, that's the vibe I get from this show.

Still that was a fun show, I like new guest characters every week. I wish they'd do something like that.

Indeed.
