I only wish Cartoon Network would not cancel shows so readily.

Plus times are different. We all grew up when certain types of humor and culture was vastly different then they are today.

Yeah, I don't know about you guys but I started to notice this shift in tastes when the kids' channels did more teen sitcoms than cartoons. I resented it at first, but I saw that the kids really loved them, so what can I say?

At any rate, they still make traditional cartoons once in a while, so I'm grateful. :)

It's also a case of a change in taste.
For example, if Ed, Edd, 'n Eddy was released today, I'd be willing to bet people would complain about it's juvenile humor and about how [action/adventure series] was canned to put it on air.

Not to mention the fact that is one crazy show. Of course that is what made it great :lol

Compare Patrick Star circa 2002 to Patrick Star circa 2013. It's depressing.

True....doesn't help that they're pretty much rubbish though :lol

I find it hard to believe anybody can watch Spongebob at all honestly. Then again I am a bit of a hypocrite because I enjoyed it when I was younger. As I got older I thought and still think it's a stupid show.

But a show can be bearably stupid (Like Robot Chicken, Gumball, etc) and watchable. Spongebob skirted that line until the movie. I don't watch Spongebob anymore, I'm just saying that pre-movie was actually watchable :lol

I can't really tell the difference to be honest, but that's because I grew up avoiding Spongebob and only started watching as an adult. Now, I quite enjoy it, stupid though it can be (both pre and post movie). Maybe you guys have just changed your tastes as you grew? :lol

Even now the pre movie stuff is pretty stupid to me. I suppose it's just a case of growing up and changing tastes in comedy and entertainment.

Pretty sure you're talking about MTV Spider-man.

I don't think it's that mostly because I remember it was on Fox Kids.

So to amend my first post, I remember three things about it :lol

However, given the timeframe and the description of the costume, I believe that you are talking about this one:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spider-Man_Unlimited



Of the Spider-Man cartoons that I have watched, Spider-Man: The New Animated Series is my least favorite. Neil Patrick Harris was not a good Spider-Man (although he did improve in Spider-Man: Shattered Dimensions), some of the character designs were terrible, it introduced a very unnecessary love triangle, and it had a terrible ending.

Thank you Spider-Batman, it is indeed Unlimited.

Wasn't a fan of the Symbiote redesigns, though...

And I know Ultimate receives so much hate for not being Spectacular Spider-Man 2, but I like it.

Yeah, the Symbiotes did suffer in terms of design in Spider-Man Unlimited. But the greatest shame, though, was that it never got a proper ending in any form of media outside of a few unreleased scripts.

Ultimate Spider-Man is a fun show, and quite entertaining. It's no The Spectacular Spider-Man, but it never tried to be The Spectacular Spider-Man.

What I'd like to see, though, is a Spider-Man show (animated or otherwise) that eventually takes him out of the education system and into the adult world, exploring all the issues Peter faced when he graduated and started a life of his own.

Ultimate isn't perfect, but I still have fun with it. Especially the Taskmaster episode (That was the episode that truly drew me in).

And while I'd love to see that kind of Spider-Man series, it'd be unlikely to happen. Just too many barriers and hurdles to jump for it to happen.
