Thanks to Disney plus, I just discovered the 1994 Spiderman animation series
- Thread starter Ivanovic
- Start date
Everyday after school I was doped up on radioactive spider blood.
I remember how everyone at school was hyping up to the Venom Saga. It was like our water cooler soap opera
Also they still use the same Animation at Islands of Adventure Spider-Man ride. Every time I ride it brings me back. Great voice for Spidey too. IMO one of the best. Pretty sure they used the same voice for the Capcom vs games too.

I loved this show as a kid. The animation budget is obviously shit -- the amount of reused frames in a single episode is really astounding -- but it was so much fun, and the stories and level of continuity were awesome. The whole drag in the show for me was like this 15-episode stretch they did with that tablet that reverses aging, I was so tired of that pretty quickly. Also anything to do with Morbius.
But Sinister Six, spider slayers, Venom and Carnage, Iron Man/War Machine team up, Secret Wars and Spider-Carnage? So damn good.

Yeah, I watched in TV as a kid and found it pretty enjoyable for the most part. The early days of computer generated blending with 2D animation was a treat.
Still, not as good as Spiderman '67. The first thing I did when I loaded up Disney+ was see if that was on there. Nope.

Whoa wtf, this animation is way better than I would expect from 90s TV cartoons...
Loved it as a kid.
It was so weird. Like with the spider robots that created a mecha, or when Peter became a real spider himself.
Spiderman, spiderman, radioactive spiderman

Pretty sure in the beginning it is:
Spiderman, spiderman, radioactive spiderman
Everything was so limited in the early 90's. Video games were like $80, so you only ever got a few. Comics? If you were from rural America you managed to find an issue every once in a long while on a grocery store magazine shelf, so if you wanted the full story you had read the summary of events on the back of Marvel trading cards or the action figure boxes. Thank goodness for the animated shows. Although, the X-Men and Spider-Man t.v. shows were on syndication often enough, but if you wanted to catch the Fantastic Four or Iron Man t.v. show you had to wake up at 6 a.m. on a Saturday. That's hard to do for a kid. I was half asleep every time I watched an episode of those.
This shows NEEDS a third season. C'mon Sony.
Also anyone know the theme that played whenever the Kingpin was on screen in the 1994 show?
OP, please watch Spectacular Spider-Man and report back with your findings.
Actually, everyone should watch Spectacular Spider-Man.

It was my first introduction to Spider-Man so it forever stays as one of my favorite things. I know it wasn't always 1-to-1 with the comics but it's what Spider-Man is like in my head. Part of the reasons I don't super vibe with the current Spider-Man movies is that they don't feel like the old cartoon and I know that's 300% irrational haha.
Fucking LOL.
ontopic, loved this show. Intro theme is still great đź‘Ś
I mean look at this dude:
Dude is trying to be like "I'm getting picked on" when he's just as swole as Flash Thompson
1. Batman Beyond
2. Spider-man 94
3. Batman TAS
honorable mentions, Xmen evolution and Jackie chan adventures

Glad you're liking it OP. As a kid it helped get me into Spider-Man and now he's my favorite fictional character of all time, so I certainly have a soft spot for it
I just rewatched the first 10 episodes, haven't seen these sincee the 90s wow, very entertaining, fast paced , and interesting how much the Raimi films seemed to pull various scenes from these esp. The Alien Costume 3 parter was great. Also, only today did I realize that Mark Hamill did the voice for Hobgoblin.
My7 year old son has been watching the Fantastic Four series on DVDin the car with his mum. He told me this happened one day and I assumed it was some kind of ice cream fueled fever dream until he insisted I watch it to prove he was telling the truth. I used to watch the cartoon when it aired semi irregularly on UK satellite with Iron Man but I never remembered any kind of cross overs like this in it. Maybe we only got the first season at the time? I would have been about 12 and super into Marvel comics so I would have remembered it.
Anyway a funny surprise and relief that my kid is not a crackhead as his second language late night rambling version of it sounded like he had been hitting the yayo.
As a 14 year old kid I loved it, but honestly I just loved anything that had my beloved Marvel heroes.
As a 39 year old man, it was eclipsed greatly by Spectacular Spider-Man and wasn't even that good compared to other cartoons of the same Era.

Haha.. nooo noo.. it's not better than Batman. Calm down.
But I did like it at the time.

Always bothered me how "wide" Peter's build is portrayed in the 90's cartoon.
From reading the comics around the same era I felt Spider-man was muscular, but with a much slimmer "agile-looking" build.
Am I alone?
I mean look at this dude:
Nah he's legitimately built like a Rugby/American Football player in this, even as a child I noticed how odd he looked.
iirc this and a later hulk ep were supposed to be prep for a ghost rider series that never happened.
I don't know if Disney plus has them But Incredible Hulk and Silver Surfer we're also surprisingly good. I really thought when I was a kid how the hell are they making a Silver Surfer show but it was good and even had what you can consider an ending. I think Fantastic Four and Iron Man were the weakest of these shows but they were also before the rest.
A more later show that is good is Wolverine and the X-Men.

It's a great voice to be sure, but I find myself liking the one from Spiderman Unlimited more. Very underrated series, and I'm amazed it wasn't continued somehow through a comic or anything else.
