>Numerous foreshadowed plot threads left unexplored >Protagonist

Maybe there was no power vacuum. Spider-man taking out all three major crime bosses in one night probably sent a message to the rest of the criminal underworld that New York was too risky to bother with. The only ones who are still dumb enough to try probably don't pose much of a threat to anyone.

I always wondered how Peter would have redeemed himself.

>>93615160
Why is Spider-Man cursed to have several cartoons with unresolved endings?

>>93615697
You have a good point. Season 3 may have started with New York getting surprisingly calm, with the Hobgoblin starting to try and round up all the broken factions.
Scorpion could have been a product of a lack of Spider-Man action, and Jameson funding Mac's transformation in an attempt to make a new paper-selling superhero.
Then maybe Hydroman's creation causes Flint to come back.

>>93615830
Well, Liz and Harry were the only people he really screwed over. Liz would probably avoid him whenever possible, Harry would rub his relationship with Gwen all over his face at every opportunity, and Felicia would probably be nettled for a while until Pete could properly explain himself.

>>93615160
Spiderman unlimited was pretty dope and it ended on a cliff-hanger

Damn, I really wanted to see Carnage, Scorpion, Hydro Man, Gwen dying, and MJ moving in

>>93616082

I wonder who they would have cast as Carnage and Scorpion's VA's?

OH shit....I like this.

Homages the original origin story but at the same time reinvents it.

Plus if JJJ is trying to make another hero (before it goes all wrong), it doesn't make him as much of a dick for intentionally creating one Spidey's enemies.

Really grinds my gears

Just like in Spider-Man 3. Only good.

You have no idea how crime works. There's always going to be some asshole who'll move into that area.

Besides, we know Kingsley/Hobgoblin would've been a major villain, plus there were plans for a new crime lord, either Kingpin or Mr. Negative.

>>93617698
Kingpin was off the table. That's why we got Tombstone. The rumor was that Hobgoblin was going to start trying take control, as would Foswell.

>>93617764
I know. Weisman said he'd like to use Fisk, but also was interested in Negative, basically implying he'd sub one for the other.

Also, nothing was confirmed on Foswell. He's just a reporter. Tombstone is already the Big Man.

>>93617902
Weisman hinted that Foswell was going to end up "going back to his roots" at some point, so it was speculated that he would be another Big Man.

>>93615915
Ultimate Spidey had an ending, but no one here likes that show

>>93618306
I think he meant that as him taking on the Patch persona. If they followed the comics, he might've even died saving Jameson or something.

>>93618428
>USM has the only resolved conclusion

It's a bad end for us.

No, it's mediocre at best. I still haven't started season two, I've read the comics already so I know how it will go. Say what you want about Ultimate Spider-Man, but at least it was doing new things and was unpredictable. It was vastly inferior, but it had fresh ideas.

SMTAS > TSSM s1 > SMU > USM

>>93619056
New=/=Good anon. Also take your nostalgia goggles off because SMTAS has aged like milk. The editing was atrocious and almost seizure inducing. It holds a special place in our childhoods but cmon

>>93615160
The cancellation was karma for Peter dumping Liz.

>>93619056
Anyone who praises SMTAS is blinded by nostalgia.

It's a bad show.

Didn't they have the whole second season written and recorded for this before it got killed?

>>93619056
>but at least it was doing new things and was unpredictable

It had pretty basic storytelling. Norman was the Big Bad, but redeems himself because he wuvs his son, there are hamfisted morals about the importance of team-up and friendship, despite the fact that they hated each other's guts until the season finale, SHIELD is always portrayed as a righteous organization, even when they do shady shit, and even their attempt at plot twists failed when they made both of their traitors obvious as hell.

Also, new ideas aren't inherently good, especially with stuff like bullied nerd Rhino, emo teen Vulture, Scorpion being a rejected Mortal Kombat character, and them having no idea what to do with Harry.

>>93619174
Worst X-Men show

Eh, you've seen one Weissman show you've seen them all. I'm more pissed at Loeb shitting up the second season of EMH before unceremoniously killing it.

>>93619513
>Became more episodic than overarching plots
>Tossing out Josh Keatons voiced lines for Drake Bell's because Ultimate Spider Man was on the way
>Surtur storyline left unresolved
>Last episode was a rushed Galactus plot
It really was sabotaged

>>93619513
>Eh, you've seen one Weissman show you've seen them all.

Lmao, nah. They all have some similar tropes, but they have different tones, characters, and concepts. Young Justice is his most popular show, but Gargoyles is the magnum opus. Despite that, Spectacular is my favorite of his.

Is this any good?

>>93620006
It gets better with each season but Season 1 is painful to watch.

>>93620006
It starts out really bad, but it bumps up to mediocre in later seasons.

>>93618694
But he said that for season 3, and Foswell was already Patch
