I've been toying with doing some sort of saturday morning discussion/reminiscence thread, but this works just as well considering what sort of demographic we're talking about here.

Goddamn, so many memories...

Same deal with the '90s Spider-Man cartoon, although that one has aged even worse, especially the constantly reused animation. All it's really got going for it is that Christopher Daniel Barnes is basically a perfect Spider-Man. It's a shame because when I was like 9 or 10 that was my absolute favorite show.

Spider-Man: TAS was decent for its time, leaps and bounds over the series featuring him in the 60s & 80s, but yeah the animation for a lot of early 90s Marvel shows doesn't stand up too well compared to today. That's not including those CGI skyscrapers they stuck into half of Spidey's web-slinging scenes.

The one strength that's lasted pretty well over the year is, like you said, the voice acting. Barnes did a good job in making Spidey a quippy superhero and for the most part the villains were represented pretty well. Roscoe Lee Brown as Kingpin remains in my mind one of the best examples of villain voice-casting.

Yeah, Christopher Daniel Barnes was a very good Spider-Man...When he wasn't yelling.

I'd say the same thing about whoever voiced Spidey in the Web of Shadows video game.

.... How did I forget about those segments?

Recently I've realized how much I miss ensemble shows like Kablam. Not everything on that show was gold mind you, but occasionally you'd be surprised by something decent.
