Which show is better?

spectacular becaure it was premature;y canned on a cliffhanger

The one you were growing up with. I can't stand art style of Spectacular even though so many people fap to the show. Not to mention a laughing stock that is Spectacular's Venom.

I grew up with TAS but prefer Spectacular. The pacing and exposition in TAS in ridiculous, there's never a quiet moment. I have fond memories of it but it doesn't hold up.

Spectacular, pretty much a perfect modernized take on Spiderman
They even made goofy looking guys like Electro look good without bastardizing the designs like Ultimate or Amazing did

Both were cancelled on cliffhangers. The final episode of TAS was a cliffhanger of Madam Webb opening a portal to the dimension the real Mary Jane was stuck in and Peter going to find her. The next season would be about the search but it was cancelled.

TAS has better voice work (for the most part), better character models, a better ending, better waifus, and better guest characters. The ending sucked, but at least it had one.

Spectacular has better animation and fight choreography, a better supporting cast, and it has Gwen Stacy. Watching Spider-Man save Gwen is always more exciting than watching Spider-Man save Mary Jane because you know he might fail.

Both versions have crap version of Venom.

Overall I'd say Spectacular is more fun to rewatch. It's less predictable and more fun on an episode to episode basis. But TAS is a better translation of what it's like to read comic books as a cartoon, with its frequent crossovers and its more satisfying ongoing plot. When I read comic books, it's the TAS Spidey that I hear in my head, but it's Spectacular's fight scenes that I imagine.

So I guess I'd have to give it to spectacular. But it's by a razor thin margin.

Spectacular. Anyone who says TAS is high off nostalgia

Spectacular. Greg Weisman is my homeboy.

Spectacular because it tried to be it's own thing while TAS tried to follow comics and failed miserably

>better character models
Sorry but even as a kid I couldn't buy that Peter was seen as a wimp and a nerd when he was built like a brickhouse

TAS was better stories, and none of Weisman's smug bullshit.

I guess that's fair. I was thinking more about the super stuff and less about the school stuff. But at least he didn't have doll joints.

Spectacular had better animation, fight choreography, budget, writing, and continuity. It suffered from some dumb shit (how did Eddie follow a web-slinging Pete to a construction yard?), but it was very good.
TAS had a better Pete, better diversity of stories covered, had college Pete instead of lame high school Pete, King Pin > Norman as a mastermind-behind-the-scenes, and it had wilder stories. It suffered from censorship and budget issues.
But if you're asking me which 10/10 is the better 10/10, I can't say

why in the fuck are you watching spider-man if you don't like smugness? That's pretty much his whole deal.

>Peter was seen as a wimp and a nerd when he was built like a brickhouse
Given Pete's nightly routine of webslinging, he should be buff.
That being said, he's seen as a pacifist (wimp) and science nerd. The one that's undeserved is wimp because Pete is one angry muther-fucker

>Given Pete's nightly routine of webslinging, he should be buff.
Nah even in the few flashbacks before getting bitten he still looked like a Chad

TAS

I grew up with TAS and think Spectacular is much better.

Well that's never been an issue for Clark Kent. If anything these never designs of Spider-Man being really skinny are hard to buy because he's supposed to be extremely strong.

Clark's been a beefcake since the start though, meanwhile Peter was always a bit scrawny

He had to match the recycled action figure molds.

Spectacular is for virgins
TAS is for chads

Tas

Spectacular is better written but there's still a lot of enjoyment to be had in the TAS.

*newer designs

Just rechecked some 60s and 70s panels, Spider-Man was pretty muscular

They are both mediocre I'm glad that Disney canceled them for the new Spiderman show

>King Pin > Norman as a mastermind-behind-the-scenes

I always hated that. They really abused Kingpin and made him the villain in episodes where he is barely relevant. Norman was the main villain in Spectacular, but he didn't really control EVERYTHING. Doc Ock was running his own operation and so was Silvermane. Mr. Negative was going to be a thing, and so was Kingsley as Hobgoblin, etc.

Maybe you should stop watching capeshit and finally grew up.

>stop watching capeshit and finally grew up.

Maybe you should learn English properly before you insult anyone with it.

Grow up capeshiter

>He says, in a thread dedicated to two capeshit shows

In the 60s, he had a skinny frame but still had muscles. In one issue, some classmate bullying him was surprised when he noticed the muscles Peter had when he grabbed his arm or something. The implication being that his baggy clothes and skinny frame hides them.

In the late 60s IIRC and 70s and forward, he became more muscular and better looking. Nowadays, he's mostly drawn skinnier than the TAS version.

In this show, Peter is supposed to be a college student, so obviously they based the show version off of the 70s-era in some ways.
