Watch The Full SPIDER-MAN: THE ANIMATED SERIES 20th Anniversary Reunion Panel

Imagine being able to sense danger, crawl any wall, be strong enough to bend steel, and have more agility than any other human? For Peter Parker, this is a fact. Except he doesn't think of it as a gift. In his final year of High School, Peter Parker was bitten by an irradiated spider. After brief hallucinations, Peter wakes up with incredible powers--much like that of a spider. Thus, to make some extra cash, Peter takes on the persona of Spider-Man, and tries to pursue a career as a pro wrestler. When he witnesses a robbery, he lets the criminal escape, simply because "it's not his problem". Then, when his dear Uncle Ben is killed, Peter finds that the murderer is none other than the criminal he failed to stop before. Now, Peter uses his powers to stop crime, as he learns that "With great power, comes great responibility". Beginning in November of 1994, John Semper and crew launched the most accurate portrayal of Peter Parker to be animated to date. Where previous animated incarnations focused on action, this version provided the same three dimensional Peter Parker found in the comics. Complete with the familiar supporting cast, a hapless lovelife, doting Aunt May, and grumpy J. Jonah Jameson, the show places Peter during his college years at ESU.

I'm so saving this for later.

NOSTALGIA!

Definitely not going to watch a 47-minute panel... But this show was probably the greatest animated show ever. Only one that came close was the XMen Animated Series.

grif - 11/23/2014, 9:08 AM

unless there is news of a dvd or bluray release. [frick] this.

CAN THEY PLEASE RELEASE A COMPLETE SERIES BLU-RAY PACK BASED OFF THIS SERIES AND MANY MORE LIKE IT??

@MercwithMouth

I'm a huge X-Men fan and I have to agree that Spider-Man was better, but it's not better than Batman: The Animated Series. That holds the title for best animated series ever.

BabyGroot - 11/23/2014, 10:21 AM

The series finale really sucked, wish they would've had time to end it with more closure.

MercwithMouth - 11/23/2014, 10:43 AM

@AlexSummers812

I never watched Batman: TAS. So it's an easy decision for me.

Vaportrail - 11/23/2014, 11:59 AM

I say Spectacular actually trumps this.
Have you tried watching Spider-Man: TAS since the 90s?

Holy monologue, Parker. They get a lot of the major plotlines right, but the animation is cheap, the action slow and dated and much of the voice work is soap opera quality at best.
I appreciate it for its place in animation history, but not something I'm dying to watch over and over again.

unknownfacts - 11/23/2014, 1:22 PM

Looking back all I can say is wow the voice acting was stale.Though ironically enough both X-Men and Spider-man voice acting were operatic at best the shows that didn't last long Iron-man,Fantastic Four,and Hulk had slightly better voice acting.

Before I clicked play, I screamed "MARY JANE! MAAAAARRRRRYYY JAAAAAAANNNEEE!!!" And I just knew that they'd show that scene somehow. And they did. Most insane, depressing, and best acted scene from an American television cartoon.

Khanlark - 11/23/2014, 9:40 PM

God this show was good.

loki668 - 11/23/2014, 11:09 PM

Once I saw Morbius, I instantly hated this show. It was...........okay, in my opinion but, as a Spidey fan, I understand the love it gets.
