New Spider-Man cartoon begins July 11th on MTV
Starting July 11th on MTV, a new Spider-Man cartoon will premeire. It features Neil Patrick Harris as the voice of Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and is CG.
Superherohype.com reviewed one of the episodes. The review is available here and contains spoilers.
For a show schedule, click here. I'm interested to see how it looks, as I was never impressed with the Beast Wars/Max Steele computer animation.

The CG animation is like nothing we’ve seen on TV before. It’s reminiscent of shows like Reboot, the Beast Machines and Max Steel so you get the idea. But the look is unique, it’s 3D but not in that PIXAR sort of way but more like a 2D animated show but in 3D, if that makes any sense.

this is the one that's set in the
right? This has also been delayed like over a year, as I remember it was supposed to start airing when the 1st flick came out.

The art in Ultimate Spider Man is beautiful, the art in the promos for this cartoon sucks. I agree with all the "horrible" comments. I used to be excited for this series...until I saw a commercial for it.
Why oh why can't Marvel throw some money at Bruce Timm and get him to do Spider Man?

EW gave it an A-. The best writer working in comics right now, Brian Michael Bendis, wrote a couple scripts for the show. He's the writer on Ultimate Spider-man, the best ongoing superhero comic right now. Mainframe, the company who has done some of the best computer animated shows ever on TV including Reboot and War Planets, did the animation on the Spider-man cartoon. I believe it's also been delayed for more than one and a half years. I think it was originally supposed to start late fall 2001.
To say I've been looking forward to this is an understatement. All that being said, though, I haven't liked the clips I've seen. I'm hoping the animation will grow on me, but I also didn't like the voice work from the clips I saw either. They hired a bunch of people in the music industry to do the voices and that worries me. I'll still watch the show, if for nothing else but to maybe get a little Bendis goodness even though I think there's been rewrites on his scripts.

Since it's on MTV, is spiderman going to poop on the carpet, have the spider logo on his costume blurred out, and drive a spider-mobile Escalade?

That's why I'll be tuning in.

If this turns out to be any good, my record list is just going to get longer and longer.

Is it possible that the animation has already grown on me before even seeing an episode? I was just watching mtv and saw the commercial again and liked it this time. The only thing that bugs me is the Kingpin. He looks a little odd and his animation seems bad. I must keep catching the end of the commercial since there's 2 shots of the Kingpin at the end.
I also didn't even notice that I actually like Doogie's voice in the promo too. Before I saw any commercials for the show, I saw a clip on Kilborn's show and I thought the voicework sounded bad there.

If it doesn't involve "reality TV" in some shape, way, or form; MTV won't show all the episodes of the first season or will just cancel it after the first season.
I still want to kick MTV's ass after cancelling Now What? and Clone High.

uh, EW also gave Ren and Stimpy a B.. I wouldn't trust that as far as I can throw it.

For those of you recording this, MTV is famous for starting and ending their shows late. Set your recordings for at least 3-5 minutes pad at the end of the show.

Yes, you have to re-setup your Season pass though. A few days ago TiVo changed it from a single spider-man on both ABC Family and MTV to a seperate on for each.

I think I might have to go the manual recording route: it keeps showing up on a daily basis because TiVo doesn't know it's the same episodes over and over and over.....

Brian Michael Bendis. An amazing writer, and everything he touches turns to gold so I will be watching. It can't be too bad--granted it's MTV, but they did put out Beavis & Butthead and I enjoyed the hell out of that show.
