/co/ - Comics & Cartoons

From an outside perspective, it looks like it was simply studio momentum. The staff that was behind spiderman was probably in full swing when the project ended and they wanted to keep it up and running with no idea what to do, probably gave them this as a busywork project while the bill payers figured out what they were going to do.

Kinda sad, I actually really enjoyed it, it very much felt like they could have pulled of some good shit if they had stayed on it a while longer.

Unlimited is an underrated suit. It’s barely brought up in spider suit arguments as well

>>1022686

From what I can gather the show actually had good ratings but Pokémon fucking destroyed and Fox gave up early. It sucks to since compared to 94 the animation is light years ahead of it.

Finally watched it all last year (after vague memories of it as a kid), its a pretty decent series. I like the art style it used

If anyone interested, plot synopsis for the cancelled 2nd season including a script resolution to the 1st season final cliffhanger) do exist.

Not really a sequel to the original series, I think. Considering that original TAS had Venom and Carnage get sent to some nightmare dimension…

>>1022713

Correct; Venom and Carnage were trapped with Dormammu in the Dark Dimension in Season 3 of the 90s show, whereas they're free in Unlimited.

>>1022689

The fact that this suit appears in barely any spidey video games makes me sad

>>1022678

Counter Earth was a funky concept

>>1022721

I heard they brought unlimited back for spiderverse

>>1022732

You heard wrong.

>>1022744

Was this inspired by JoJo?

TBH I love Spider-Man Unlimited and the suit is sick

>>1022744

She's always thirsty for Spider-Man in the show.

>>1022732

Bring back? More like murdered! Just like Spidey and his Amazing Friends, Captain Universe Spidey (which is bullshit), Hostess Spidey and MVC Spidey.

The most eye catching part to the intro for me is always that mini nuke that happens on peters hand

>>1022832

>>1022832

That was an alternate 80s/Amazing Friends Spider-Man. The real Amazing Friends crew was shown to be perfectly fine in the latest Deadpool Annual.

>>1022708

>three BLACK CATS—Beastial Siamese cat sisters who are beautiful, charming—and deadly.

damn it

This spiderman got killed during spiderverse events.

>>1023200

The only legit criticism is why couldn't they have done a legit 2099 show

What I never got was how they were split on the alternate copies of people. Green Goblin and Vulture are good guys however the version of Electro and Kraven are still bad.

>>1023200

The show never really gets hate its treated as a black sheep but not in a bad way

>>1023200

>The only criticism that gets thrown like it's these people's trump card is that "It has anthropomorphic characters that makes it FURRY"

>Spiderman preventing a world of furries is a bad thing

>>1022678

A failed attempt to copy Batman Beyond

Lest you forget they also stole Mark Hamill. They literally just had him do the Joker voice for the Hobgoblin.

>implying that marvel would even need to try to make people forget about it for people to forget about it

before, during and after its entire run the cartoon scene was drowning in far superior shows, its really not surprising that nobody cares about it.

>>1023309

You just need to rebrand the idea, that's all.

>An animated series of Spider-Man beating up furries who oppress humanity

>>1023215

>>1023336

Here's the story behind this series creation from Will Meugniot I'm copy pasted this info (with some minor editing) from his posts about the shows development.

https://maskedmayhem.blogspot.com/search/label/Spider-Man%20Unlimited

>Being under contract to Universal for Exosquad and new series development left me unable to work on the early 90s animated Spider-Man, and Spidey was one of the two the Marvel characters I most wanted a shot at directing.

>So when the chance arose six years later to do a super low budget version of arachnid avenger with the working title Spider-Man Unlimited, I leapt at the chance. The plan was to cherry pick the best 13 issues of the first 26 Amazing Spider-Man comics, and keep the graphics as true the source material as possible, as cheaply as possible.

>For contractual reasons, Marvel and Fox needed there to be a show with Spider-Man in the title to keep the earlier Fox Kids series in play, but no one wanted to pay for the new cartoons – thus the 'keep it cheap' mandate

>Marvel sold Sony the movie and animation rights to the 'real' Spider-Man. Suddenly, they had to do a Spider-Man show without use of the actual character since, despite the movie deal, there was still that need for something called Spider-Man to be on air in the fall

>Eventually Marvel sent us a long shopping list of mismatched elements: Counter-Earth, The Knights of Wundagore, John Jameson, Deathlok, Venom – and on and on.

>The following story is what I put together over a long weekend, and everyone was cool with it – UNTIL – someone at Marvel back East got worried about the damage Clone Wars caused to the comic's sales. They thought people were unhappy that there were alternate versions of Peter Parker in that storyline, as opposed to the decade of continuity Clone Wars had thrown away.

(original script is on his blog)

>The eventual reveal of this version of Spider-Man Unlimited was to be that on counter-Earth, Uncle Ben hadn't been murdered. And without that life-changing moment, the Counter-Earth Peter went on to becoming a less noble hero and was seduced to the dark side by Venom. Which to my way of thinking reinforces the Spider-Man legend rather than diminishing it.

From what I understand after that version got scrapped, it went back to Peter Parker, Venom/Carnage, John Jameson from normal Earth getting trapped on Counter Earth without any Counter Earth "opposite" versions of themselves.

>>1023642

Huh, so they ended up with almost the same non-deal non-licence as Mutant X.

>>1022678

Would you acknowledge a show that you cancelled? It doesn't have as much NOSTALGIA for it, so the company can afford to sweep it under the rug.

>>1024380

It was canceled for no good reason the ratings were solid it was a cool new setting for Spider man. Its animation is miles better than Spiderman the animated series on top of it

>>1024511

I swear they copied and pasted this for the ultimates.

>>1024557

ЖЕЛЧНЫЙ И КРОВАВЫЙ

>>1024565

Gold and Bloody? Or are you doing some kind of shit post?

>>1024616

Russian scum should keep their shit on Facebook, where they belong and decide votes, because everyone else is retarded.

Would Peter Parker ever put Venom back on? Has he ever done so?

- asking for a friend

>>1025466

and I man in the comics

>>1025466

Sometimes it happens because the writers want it to, but Peter wants to murder the symbiote, he fucking hates it.

>>1025466

Oh, and Venom is the combination between Eddie and the Symbiote, there is no Venom without Eddie.

>>1022679

>The staff that was behind spiderman was probably in full swing when the project ended and they wanted to keep it up and running with no idea what to do, probably gave them this as a busywork project while the bill payers figured out what they were going to do.

Word is they actually had an entirely different thing planned, revolving around getting Mary Jane back. Apparently Unlimited was also banned from using anything from the original spiderman comics and the costume

>>1022678

I liked this show, the costume was really awesome and I was pretty sad that it doesn't appear anymore. I remember people jokingly called this series "Spider-man vs The Furries".

>>1027621

It's a good thing the spiderman of this show doesn't appear often, it means he's spared from shitty writing.

>>1027633

They killed him off in the recent spider verse comic

>>1027685

That still spared him from being in a shitty comic book, so that's good to me.
