"Ultimate Spider-Man (Animated Series)" News & Discussion Thread, Part 11 (Spoilers)

Has Peter been shirtless in the recent seasons?

I'm honestly a bit weirded out that you created an account just to ask if an under-aged cartoon character has been shirtless.... twice. I can't see the harm in it, just find it strange. Why don't you read the replies from your previous post before posting the same thing again weeks later?
What's stopping you from watching the show yourself and seeing for yourself?

Well let's see, for one thing I'm pretty sure Peter has already passed high school and is at least 18 and besides, I'm in the same age range as him so I don't actually find anything weird about, in fact I'm actually a few years younger.

See my country does air the show but it's always re runs of the same Season 1 episodes and if I'm lucky season 2. I obviously have access to wifi here but it isn't strong enough for me to watch videos.

And yes, I know I asked this a few weeks back but to be fair I didn't really get an answer to it due to someone mistaking him for someone else.

 

[ClodClavo]

I apologize if I was quick to judge, the age thing makes sense. I admit I didnt think about the availability of the episodes in other countries. That is very unfortunate that you don't have some of the recent episodes.

Unfortunately people didn't seem to have an answer to your question, or care to watch nearly 100 episodes to answer it. I find The Toon Zone community to be very friendly and helpful with questions. I believe someone would of answered you by now, if they had an answer to your question. There's no reason to post the same thing twice in the matter of weeks.

question about Spider-Man meeting Spider-Gwen in USM. Steve says, "Yes, that would be interesting."

Questions about mutants appearing in animated series. Steve says, "No. No mutants." Cort says there may or may not be Deadpool appearing at some point, though.

Question about Miles Morales, Steve says he'll definitely be sticking around Ultimate Spider-Man.

Edit: Apparently, Howard the Duck will appear on USM, voiced by Seth Green.

And here are some Tweets from Stephen Wacker, from the Marvel Animation panel. If you can make out what's shown on the screen from this angle.

Well, I guess this is bad news for anyone hoping poor Miles would get to go back home and be Spider-Man again rather then be stuck on our Earth as (shivers) Kid-Arachnid .

The benefits of Seth Green being a semi-professional VA is that he gets to reprise his movie role in the cartoons .

I think I see a horse...cowboy Spider-Man? Spider-kid ?

It's really annoying that there wasn't any official announcement for "Ultimate Spider-Man" at SDCC 2016; but maybe what RoyalRubble said before is right. Maybe they are keeping them for the NYCC 2016; you know, because it's Spidey's home city an all. Besides, maybe they want to wait until the airing of the arc "Return to the Spider-Verse" to make the announcements.

I truly hope/wish for a Season 5. If they are going to make animation with the Secret Wars, then Spider-Man's show must continue too. They are surely going to use the second Secret Wars, not the original one, which would explain the whole thing about "saving reality itself". And in the last Secret Wars, there was enough presences of alternative Spider-Men to consider the Spiders as part of it: Spider-Island, Arachnia ("Spider-Verse"), The Regency ("Renew Your Vows") and the Warzone ("Civil War").

Also, there's going to be a few new Spiders at the last episodes of the season, so I believe they need to give the show another season, so those spider will have more time to shine. Also, just like Secret Wars for the Avengers, there are a few sagas for Ultimate Spider-Man that they could use: "Spider-Island" (obviously), the Clone Saga, Ends of the Earth, Grim Hunt, the Other??? and the Spider-Slayers. Don't you think I'm right?

Some updates from Stephen Wacker's Tumblr:

Question
No Spider-Island on USM please. I don't think it would fit.
Answer
No prob.

Question
Would the Web Warriors likely carry over into a possible season 5 of USM?
Answer
You think too small.

Question
Where is Anya Corazon?!
Answer
Sleeping. Shhh!

Question
What went into the decision to give Scarlet Spider the name "Ben Reilly" when he's pretty much 98% Kaine and ended up being a traitor (albeit one who had a heroic end)?
Answer
Made more sense in context of our series.

Question
Is Peter Parker 18 yet in USM Season 4?
Answer
No.

Some updates from Stephen Wacker's Tumblr:

"Too small?" So every teen hero might carry over into season 5? Or Wacker intends to introduce every Spider-themed character to join Peter's team ?

That's what I figured in regards to the whole "Ben Reilly=Kaine" thing, which I guess I can't fault them for even if I have my own issues with it .

Which I guess confirms The Avengers do allow minors onto the team .

 

[ernesth100]

He's not 18? Damn.

 

[RoyalRubble]

More stuff from Wacker:

Question
since she is breaching in popularity at the moment, I feel like bringing in spider-gwen in the next series (if you plan to do) would be a great idea. she deserves more recognition!
Answer
From what I saw at SDCC, Gwen already has a lot of recognition!
.Beyond that.. be patient.

Question
Will Spidey get a new costume, because of the Homecoming movie?
Answer
Wait and see!

I missed mentioning the Spider-Gwen one in my last post.

 

[Roxas_Sora]

I hope the "No Prob" about Spider-Island means that there is a way to fit "Spider-Island" in this series, and not that there won't be an animated version. Just like Spider-Verse, Spider-Island deserves to be animated here.

 

[Frontier]

And I'm sure once they adapt the Civil War costume, we'll already be on the Homecoming suit .

 

[TheLemsterPju]

The lead character designer indirectly confirms Season 4 is the final season.

 

[Frontier]

I didn't know the Marvel Animation character designer had his own DeviantArt page .

And as for the news about this being the final season...well, I guess a character designer would be privy to that knowledge, though I wouldn't be surprised if they're ending USM in part to relaunch with a Spider-Man cartoon that more closely resembles what we're getting in Homecoming.

 

[bigdaddy313]

As much as their was huge improvement in the show big time with the last 2 season my mood for this show was too little too late.

I just want this show to end.

Yes it can have it's glory as having the most episodes of Spider-Man animation for the time being untill the next one.

I just want this show to end and thank God it's ending and I am sorry no offence but I still hate Drake Bell as Spider-Man I just hope that a new voice actor takes over the new show.

I hope everyone who enjoys the show to have a satisfying conclusion that we Spectacular Spider-Man fans didn't have.

 

[strugler]

Couldnt have said it better myself. I gave this show more than a chance, in fact i watched abt 60 percent of all the eps. And yes the show has improved so much in the last 2 season,s but to me it is still not a spiderman show. I grew up on spidey, and spidey is just not the action, its also the drama he lives as peter parker, the money issues, the parker luck, etc etc. Plus i like my spidey as a solo player not a shield student, or a team leader.

so yes, i am very happy it is ending, and i really hope he new show has some talented writers, like maybe mr Weisman ?

 

[ClodClavo]

As much as this show has grown on me, I'm ready for a new take on the Character. I find the current show to be way to over-jumbled with characters to even consider it a Spider-Man show. I would like to go back to the basics and see a new take on the Spider-Man mythos. I would like to see a slightly more mature show focusing a bit more on Peters life outside of the costumes and have a bit more character development. A much tighter cast so we can flesh out the characters and get to know them. It would be awesome
to see some classic Characters like Black Cat or Eddie Brock.

Huh and he only became lead character designer recently?

The only possible downside to this show ending is that Marvel will dump Film Roman and start doing the animation in house, which will most likely result in a drop in quality in both the art and animation.

Not much info probably, but episodes 94, 95 and 96 will premiere in Czech Republic/Slovakia/Hungary earlier than in the US. We're getting them August 2nd, 3rd and 4th. Return to the Spider-Verse P1, P2 and the 3rd one is unknown. I'll let you know. After that we get re-runs of S4 again. After those I expect us to get the remaining part of S4, which could coincide with the premiere in the US... likely in Autumn.
