I watched "Along Came a Spider," the 11th episode of the second season of The Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes. The episode was good, don't get me wrong, and Drake Bell's performance as Spider-Man was decent... but I kept imagining what the lines would have sounded like if they went with Josh Keaton's recordings. And I soon realized that this was because this role was written for Josh Keaton's Spider-Man, not Drake Bell's Spider-Man.

Objectively, Drake Bell delivered a solid performance. What bothers me, though, is the fact that his Spider-Man is better suited for the absolute insanity of Ultimate Spider-Man, featuring the infamous Spider-Toast. Josh Keaton's Spider-Man, on the other hand, was made for the story of The Spectacular Spider-Man, where the humor came from the personalities of the characters.

And yes, I am one of those fanboys crying over The Spectacular Spider-Man.
