Was The Spectacular Spider-Man Peak Spidey?

Stuff I (probably) stole from Wikipedia:

The fictional character Spider-Man, a comic book superhero created by Stan Lee and Steve Ditko and featured in Marvel Comics publications, has currently appeared in ten live-action films since his inception, not including fan made shorts and guest appearances in other Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) films. Spider-Man is the alter-ego of Peter Parker, a talented young freelance photographer and aspiring scientist imbued with superhuman abilities after being bitten by a radioactive/genetically-altered spider.

The first live-action film based on Spider-Man was the unauthorized short Spider-Man by Donald F. Glut in 1969. This was followed by Spider-Man, an American made-for-television film that premiered on the CBS network in 1977. It starred Nicholas Hammond and was intended as a backdoor pilot for what became a weekly episodic TV series.

The rights to further films featuring the character were purchased in 1985, and moved through various production companies and studios before being secured by Sony Pictures Entertainment (Columbia Pictures) for $10 million (plus 5% of any movies' gross revenue and half the revenue from consumer products),[1] who hired Sam Raimi to direct Spider-Man (2002), Spider-Man 2 (2004), and Spider-Man 3 (2007) starring Tobey Maguire. The first two films were met with positive reviews from critics, while the third film received a more mixed response.

In 2010, Sony announced that the franchise would be rebooted. Marc Webb was hired to direct, with Andrew Garfield starring, and The Amazing Spider-Man (2012) was released to positive reviews. The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (2014) saw mixed reviews.

In February 2015, Disney, Marvel Studios and Sony announced a deal to share the Spider-Man film rights, leading to a new iteration of Spider-Man being introduced and integrated into the MCU. The deal allows Sony to distribute and have final creative control over MCU films where Spider-Man is the main character, while Disney distributes the ones where he is not. Tom Holland portrays this younger version of Spider-Man, appearing in Captain America: Civil War (2016), Spider-Man: Homecoming (2017), Avengers: Infinity War (2018) and Avengers: Endgame (2019), as well as the sequel to Homecoming, Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019). All of Spider-Man's MCU appearances have received positive reviews thus far.

Plans for an animated Spider-Man film were officially announced by Sony in April 2015. Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse (2018) combines Sony Pictures Imageworks' computer animation pipeline with traditional hand-drawn comic book techniques, inspired by the work of Miles Morales's co-creator Sara Pichelli. Completing the animation required up to 140 animators, the largest crew ever used by Sony Pictures Animation for a film. Into the Spider-Verse received universal acclaim, winning the Academy Award for Best Animated Feature and becoming the highest-rated film in the Spider-Man franchise, surpassing Spider-Man 2.

The Spectacular Spider-Man is an American animated television series based on the superhero character published by Marvel Comics and developed for television by Greg Weisman and Victor Cook. In terms of overall tone and style, the series is based principally on the Stan Lee/Steve Ditko and Stan Lee/John Romita Sr. runs on The Amazing Spider-Man, with a similar balance of action, drama and comedy as well as a high school setting. However, it also tends to use material from all eras of the comic's run and other sources such as Sam Raimi's Spider-Man trilogy and the Ultimate Spider-Man comics.[1]

The Spectacular Spider-Man premiered on March 8, 2008, during the Kids' WB programming block of The CW. The series aired its second season on Marvel's sister network Disney XD in the United States and ended its run on November 18, 2009. The entire series was broadcast in Canada on Teletoon. Although a third season was planned, the series was cancelled before production could begin due to legal problems between Disney (who purchased Marvel during the show's run) and Sony Pictures Television (who created the series).

I think Spectacular Spider-man is peak teenage Spidey and PS4 is the best adult Spider-man.

[cleverpsyche]

Josh Keaton is Spider-Man for me. His voice just carries the energy, sarcasm, and sometimes gentle tone Peter and Spidey have, as well as Peter's shyer nature. This show is fantastic, and I really wish we'd gotten more.

Disney: *cancells Spectacular Spider-Man*
Sony (8 years later): I’m gonna put some dirt in your eye

[backup-qgnb]

This show is basically the Steve Ditko era in animated form, with elements from the Ultimate comics and Sam Raimi trilogy. 10/10, spectacular show!

[icetray]

“Yoo-hoo excuse me. Can I come in this way or do I to break my own window?”

The funniest quip he’s ever said😂

[sugaryheaven]

By far, the best adaptation of the character outside the comics. Way better than the movies

[Url_Seth]

the Spectacular Spider-Man art style rocks, way better than the new one

[Scout.]

It is one of the best Spiderman adaptations in my book.

Sony Owns the Movie Rights to Spider-Man
Disney owns the TV rights to Spider-Man
if they swap Sony can Continue Spectacular Spider-Man
and Marvel can continue MCU Spidey

LIVING ON THE EDGE, FIGHTING CRIME, SPINNING WEBS 😭 I miss this show soooo much lol

[HelloZukoHere]

My favorite thing about this show and why it's so fucking good is that all the characters are Establish and start devolping right from the get go, or close to it. So many movies/Shows just wait until they need to Introduce Eddie Brock when they want Venom, or Harry Osborn when they want the Green Goblin, Etc. This show has every Spider-Man character they need from the get go, In the back ground. So when they turn into villains or Heroes it has impact and it makes sense. Blend that in with the perfect way to portray Peter Parker and Quips and you have the definitive Spider-Man.

PS 90's Spider-Man Cartoon is definetly my favorite because of Nostalgia.

I also like how the black suit Spider-Man gradually changed from the black red suit (as we know in Spider-Man 3) to the Symbiote suit as we know in the comics

Black Cat: "Oh, you better not get your goop in my hair."

Spider-Man: "Don't worry, it comes off with ice or peanut butter."

Black Cat: "Lovely!"

Me: "Nice."

[harveybaldry]

Mj in the MCU wasn't Peter's nerdy best friend. Ever.

[Laijah]

The 90s Show had the most "comic" accurate Spider-Man.
But Spectacular is the most accurate Spider-Man

[theaceking]

Absolutely

Peter was a shy, nervous nerd
Spider was cocky, confident and funny

[davidr]

Yess I’ve been on a spectacular Spider-Man mood because I just rewatched both seasons

[joeshi]

Disney: we gave you guys a spider man show


Me: I had a good show and it’s name was The Spectacular Spider-Man

[comedytitan]

Spectacular spiderman is a show in which i find Peter Parkers life more interesting then spidermans. Idk i just really like when the episodes focus on peters life.

[Rotodojo-yfsq]

The Spectacular Spider-Man outfit should be a suit in Spider-Man PS4.
