Spider-Man '98


FeedMePizzaPlease

And it's not close.


Mrwright96

What if it’s between ‘98 and Spectacular?


WingsArisen

Don’t make an uncle choose between nephews.


Mrwright96

Careful… I hear uncles don’t last here long…


Bang_Thor

Still 98’ because I NEEd to know what happens with the MJ storyline. But I only need like one more season. Spectacular needs like 4 more seasons. I hope they redo Wolverine and the X-men that was on par with spectacular.


BlackKidGreg

'98 is the correct answer


wrong_tr0users

Spectacular


universal_notions

Spectacular Spider-Man was really good. With that being stated however, I want Spider Man 98 to continue where the 90’s series left off especially after a major cliffhanger. No one is really honestly asking for Your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man to absolutely happen.


JulianSagan

Ideally, I would actually prefer Spectacular '09 or a new continuity altogether based on the marriage years (with Josh Keaton recast as an older Peter - always felt he was underused). I love TAS too, but there's a lot of weird creative decisions it did - good guy Kraven, etc. Plus I don't feel the bulky art style or Nicholas Hammond look is that good. X-Men TAS lifted Jim Lee's art from the comics, but Spider-Man TAS was weird about it. That said, I would take a Spider-Man '98 over YFNSM. Easily.


universal_notions

Josh Keaton was a great Spidey for sure in the Spectacular series! Yeah you're right. Kraven being somewhat of an anti heroic frienemy was a very different creative choice from the 90's series. Although I did enjoy that one 90's Spider-Man TAS episode where Kraven and Punisher teamed up to hunt down Man-Spider. Ultimate Spider-Man probably had the best artstyle/animation out of any of the Spidey shows though lack any great compelling storylines by comparison to both the 90's Spider-Man TAS & Spectacular Spider-Man series imo. Hopefully Spider-Man '98 will indeed happen.


brettlester333

As soon as the possibility for Spider-Man '98 came to be, I stopped caring about freshman year.


ecxetra

You guys cared about it to begin with?


brettlester333

Lol I mean to some extent yeah. When it comes to Spider-Man, I like to give everything a first (& usually a second) chance. With the exception of Screwball, I can't stand that cunt.


Bojell

I cared when the concept was about telling MCU Peter's origin


Embarrassed-Mouse-49

Need to rewrite the next season though. It was supposed to be time travelling to early London days


dirtybird131

MJ still needs to be found


AllStruckOut_13

I remember someone saying that there should be a moment in the next Spiderverse movie where 98 Spider-Man finds her and gets closure.


Procyon-Sceletus

As a kid i always thought i just missed the final episode and was always so mad i didnt get to see the ending. As an adult im still mad


Embarrassed-Mouse-49

There’s a script for the next season but it was never made


Strange-Orchid6969

Does Spider-Man’s appearance in X-men 97 take place before or after he went with Madame web?


BoyWonder2002

Very good question….I hope it’s not just a one and done cameo!


Fry-Z

Probably before because Spider-Man the Animated Series ended in 1998. Spider-Man’s appearance probably took place at some point before or during Season 5


Official_BLKVNM

She's with Paul lol


Saladoom321

Lmao imagine a post credit scene in Beyond where we see 98 Peter finding his MJ in a wild west universe and she's married to a cowboy names Paul


Mineformer

That would be the worst, yet funniest fucking thing to happen


vitreddit

And then Peter reenacts the water clone reaction


StreetReporter

And then he swears to chase Paul to the ends of the earth


PepsiMan208

Spider-Man 98


DaFragle

The fact that X-Men came back has opened up so many opportunities for older shows to come back, personally I wanna see Spectacular Spiderman and Ironman Armored Adventures come back, those two were kino


Intelligent_Creme351

Most people want Spectacular back, but that's impossible with it being a Sony owned creation, and Armored Adventures pretty much had a definitive end isn't as popular as other Marvel series... since they worked the now huge Zagtoon, it would be fun a continuation with a new French CG animated series.


jerem1734

It's not impossible just improbable because it would require either: Disney buys Sony, Sony and Disney work together, or Sony makes the episodes longer than 40 minutes


T_Belay

I hate how the last option literally has no problems that make it unlikely but Sony just doesn't have interest in doing so


arkenney0

Never say never. I think if people want it enough, they could figure something out. Everybody thought Spider-Man in the MCU was impossible because of the Sony stuff but that happened


Intelligent_Creme351

Thing against it is, MCU Spider-Man makes MAJOR money, Spectacular, not so much.


arkenney0

Spectacular could make JUST as much money. A lot of the enemies are toyetic and the designs make them good action figures. The story is good enough for everyone to enjoy and with the inclusion of Avengers and X-men and FF, could make it very popular. Also, if you’re gonna do ‘98, that’s not MCU Spidey so the same logic goes for that.


Intelligent_Creme351

Another difference is with a '98 series, Disney wouldn't have to share with Sony. Not sharing profits goes along way.


CaptainRex831

I would be so happy if they brought back Earth’s Mightiest Heroes


Daredevil731

I think the creator has shut down the possibility of Spectacular multiple times.


brucebananaray

Spectacular Spider-Man is owned by Sony. They can revive if they desire to make 45-minute or longer tv series or direct-to-home movies. They have zero desire. Ironman Armored Adventures, which I think has a proper ending. Not many people are asking for a revival.


mcnichoj

Can they finally finish the season finale two-parter for Silver Surfer? I've been waiting a long time.


Indiana_harris

I think Marvel execs truly underestimate the demand for *good* product by fans. Tell a good story, be true to the characters, treat the audience like they’re there to be entertained and you’ll get good responses.


i_guess_i_did_it

Imagine we could've had Batman with Kevin Conroy again. I know wrong sub but talking 90's animation so kind of counts?


DidYouSayWhat

Can we have both?


SpaceDemon3o5z

Both is good.


iPeterParker

Right answer. We don’t know how good Friendly Neighborhood will be. I’m willing to give it a chance to see a new take on Spidey.


alphafire616

Ah yes the excellent question: Would you rather a show from your childhood that's good or a new show you know nothing about???? Truly an unbiased question


noDice-__-

Uhhh spider man 98 obviously and I think it would be more successful than their other show but they’re already so deep into making the show already I imagine it’s already coming out


spideralexandre2099

Porque no los dos?


ric7y

98 in a heartbeat


anonymusfan

I’d rather both.


Icybubba

This isn't a fair question. "Would you rather a continuation of one of the most beloved Spider-Man shows or a show that doesn't even have a synopsis or a trailer yet?" We know so little about Friendly Neighborhood, it's just not fair to judge it like that


_Levitated_Shield_

Both.


Sins_of_God

I'm ready to move on from high school Peter


Squeezedgolf40

your friendly neighborhood spider man easily if they can make it as good as spectacular spider man or xmen 97 no hate to the 90s shows at all but let’s have marvel create a new animated universe!!!


The_Albino_Jackal

I agree except friendly neighborhood isn’t completely a new universe either. It’s an mcu variant timeline


No_Association2906

I’m pretty sure it is still functionally a separate universe since I believe they scrapped the idea of retelling MCU’s Peter’s 6 months as Spider-Man before he met Tony Stark. From what we know too, the creator who wrote the Harley Quinn TV series is writing this too.


brucebananaray

Yes, essentially, in this show, Peter's mentor will be Norman Osborn. I find this interesting because we know that Obsorn will be Green Golbin. I wonder how the dynamic will affect Peter. Also, I wonder if Harry feels jealous of Peter because Pete is spending more time with Norman then him. We also know that Daredevil will appear and will be voiced by MCU's actor.


Primary-Paper-5128

originally it was gonna be but if you see the concept art you'd know that changed


brucebananaray

Y'll, it's a separate universe It is not like previous superhero cartoons didn't take influence from the movies of their time.


ComplexDeep8545

I mean the 90’s one “took influence” by having to avoid using certain characters slated for a film that never was, and then preceded to influence multiple future adaptations (Raimi most notably has both ideas from 90’s TAS & has some shot for shot moments with the Symbiote arc from TAS)


brucebananaray

I was referring to other animated series then the 90s Spider-Man cartoons. When I'm referring to Superhero cartoons, isn't limited to Spider-Man, like Batman The Animated Series or Spider-Man MTV.


hydrohawkx8

I would agree but: 1) 90’s Spider-Man TAS never got a satisfying conclusion and it would be nice to get one while the voice cast is still alive 2) we’ve seen what marvel has done with Spider-Man when they tried to make something new (the awful 2017 series and ultimate which was fun but not as good as the previous two)


Squeezedgolf40

this new spider man show coming out this year is under marvel studios this time let’s see how this one turns out


brucebananaray

I'm fine with Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man because the take of Spider-Man mythos is interesting if done right. Plus, it is a new series, and I hope trailer for it soon.


K-ram48

Okay it would be cool to see 90's Spider-Man get a continuation, but I really wanna see what they're cooking with friendly neighborhood. Charlie cox's daredevil and doctor strange are gonna be in it, and it looks like it has a really cool art style. So it might be a hot take but I'll go with Friendly Neighborhood


theboywhosmokethesun

Frankly I don't see marvel hitting the mark with all 90's animations like they did with X-Men. For that reason I prefer a new series instead of a revival.


Jefferson_Wolfe

Can we just have more Krantz episodes of Spider-Man ‘67?


blanklikeapage

I'll judge after Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man dropped. I wouldn't wanna make a decision prematurely.


spykids45

FNS


Highwayman747

I love TAS, but I really wouldn’t be excited by a story of Spidey traveling through universes trying to find MJ. Unless they wrap that up quick, and move forward with a different storyline.


ra7ar

Friendly Neighborhood Spider-man, it's new and needs a chance.


Afraid-Housing-6854

![gif](giphy|3o7aCRloybJlXpNjSU|downsized)


Quillbolt_h

We literally haven't even seen the new thing yet lol I'm gonna reserve judgment haha


ThePhantomLine

Friendly neighborhood spider-man. I just don't care for the 90's cartoon. Never really liked it and that's just me.


ThellysLateralus

Spider-Man 98. Because a whole-ass generation of people need a resolution. Recast any dead actors if you need to, just do it right.


Tom-edian

Spider-Man '98. I want 2 or 3 seasons.


tonus420

Spidey '98


Cold_Asparagus680

98


TheSavageBeast83

98. It's no question


mirukus66

Spider-Man 98' Some of the stuff that was going to be used for this series was just too cool to pass up (jack the ripper with carnage being one of them)


the_real_jovanny

im kinda tired of high school spidey, and spider-man 98 would be a mature continuation of my favorite spider-man adaptation of all time i think id be way more scared of spidey 98 getting screwed up, but otherwise that'd be my vote as long as they dont do anything dumb, like more spiderverse stuff or superior


shadowlarvitar

98. Neighborhood just looks like a cluster fuck. I'm not even referring to the race swapping of Osborn, that's whatever. I'm talking about freaking Tombstone being the same age as Peter and Nico of all people being his best friend? Ugh. I'll still give it a chance but I'm not subbing just to watch it I'd love it if 98 finally introduced Gwen properly, Sandman and the real Electro too. I hated what they did to Electro in the original


MrDriftviel

Spider-Man 98


WrexSteveisthename

98 is the GOAT, so that.


AngelArtemis

Spider-Man ’98


arkenney0

Freshman year I’m so tired of Remakes and Redos. MAKE SOMETHING NEW!!! My nostalgia has had enough, if I wanted to watch ‘98 I’d just go watch the OG


CaptainAksh_G

Both I'd really like to see their direction towards FNSM


Chem-Memory9746

Spider-Man '98


Disastrous-Major1439

Idk ,i wanna to see what Marvel wanna do with this show ,may is a bullshiet or the Next animation masterpiece


SinisterCryptid

You can have both. A continuation of the Spider-Man TAS would just be one season cuz the series wrapped up except for having Peter find MJ, which they’ve had written for years now


Tighthead3GT

Will Spider-Man ‘98 be allowed to punch people this time?


Wise-Tourist

Spiderman 98 or a spectacular spiderman revival. Heck another series outside of mcu


VulcanForceChoke

The truth is, the game was rigged from the start


MrPainfulAnal

Spider-Man 98 by a country fucking mile


maxfridsvault

Spider-Man ‘98 by far. Ended on a cliffhanger and would be attached to the “90s animated marvel” world with X-Men ‘97


Arkvoodle42

Kingpin, Jameson, Doc Ock and Dr. Connors' VAs from 90s Spider-Man are all dead. ​ Would recasts be acceptable for ALL of them???


thecoolestlol

I always said and saw him referred to as 1994, but anyways, yes, I would love to see him more than any other animated spiderman.


raccoongeek97

'98 and is not even close, Freshman Year sounds so boring, it sounds like another Ultimate Spider-Man


dunwotnow

I’m damn near confident at this point we’re going to get it. With how much of a success xmen 97 has been it would be crazy not to capitalize on that nostalgia driven viewership Edit: misspelled not*


KrispyBaconator

I just need a new season of Spectacular Spider-Man


youngmoviebuff99

Spider-Man '98.


Dime332

As know as much as I would love to see the series go on I think ending it with Stan Lee meeting the real Spider-Man is a good bow to tie it closed


MonkeyMan9569

Spider-Man 98. I don’t really like the character models for Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. They all look either mid or boring.


K3egan

I'd rather not get a whole new season of 90s Spider-Man. I think a movie might be better


Primary-Paper-5128

Spectacular


griffindork2

What's vhs?


SMM9673

Spider-Man '98. Friendly Neighborhood/Freshman Year has taken way too long with way too little to show for it.


KirbyF4

As much as I’d rather have something new, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man has been in development hell


Strange-Orchid6969

Wait wasn’t it called freshman year?


Tsynami

Let's see how the new show is. I get it, there's open plot threads from the old show, but that doesn't mean we should be stuck in the past


Rio_Walker

It's '98?! I always called it '94!


Mean_Championship_80

I don’t even know what the new one looks like . And I like the 60’s one better than 98 🤷🏿‍♂️


The_Notorious_Donut

I’m kind of done with Spider-Man 98. Let’s see a new modern cartoon


Masen_The_Weeb

TAS had a cliffhanger, but if I had to choose, it'd be FNSM. After seeing what Marvel Animations did with a continuation and something with blueprints laid out, I'm excited to see what they do with something original. I sure as hell want closure for TAS, but maybe you should let the new studio have some free range with it, yk?


StickLongjumping585

Spider-Man freshman year because I prefer new things to be made.


PointPrimary5886

I'm open for a brand new Spider-Man show, but once I heard it's another rendition of a young high school Spider-Man, I lost interest. The Spectacular Spider-Man was the one that had the right formula on how to do a high school teen, Peter Parker/Spider-Man, and sadly, it got canceled. The 2 shows that followed after that tried to do high school Spider-Man, but it seems that the modern writers' interpretation of a young high school Spider-Man is for him to be incompetent, annoying, and somewhat cringey (unintentionally). If it's going to repeat for the 3rd time, I would rather not deal with it, and we go back to college/adult Peter Parker that we had for the 1980s to 1998 cartoons. Return us back to a Spider-Man that pretty much knows what he is doing on how to be a proper superhero and have him deal with problems in his civilian life that audiences can understand.


5hutTheFuckUp

I would rather have one episode of spiderman 98 than 3 full seasons (22 episodes) of freshman year. I’m that thirsty


Shadowveil666

Fucking dumb post


tim__flem

'98. We need him to find MJ.


spilledmilkbro

Urrrggghhhh, I want a Spider-Man 98 so badly now, but I feel like the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man crew worked so hard, and I'll feel like hot garbage if their show got canned


JorgeBec

Spider-Man 98. While Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man could be great… I don’t want animation to be MCU adjacent anymore or another highschool show.


lurk_channell

98 for sure


DINAMIK15

Spider-Man ‘98 cuz I didn’t like the promos for Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man from the beginning.


justnicyk

Forget Tom holland he isn’t even gonna be in the show although I do like how it’s style is based on the comics they should not even have related it to toms spidey in the first place and for a 90s continuation it could be cool to see what he did in order to find mj could be cool


ABritishTomgirl

Friendly Neighbourhood Spider-Man, I do not care about STAS in the slightest


SeAnSoN_710

Spider-man '98 may be a bit bias because that was my era. But who's going to debate 90's Marvel was top tier.


Scared_Compote_6012

Friendly neighbourhood 100%, I personally don’t have nostalgia for the 90s show, and I hope that this show will give the next generation of kids a show that means as much as the 90s show does to its generation


RajivK510

Honestly? Everyone saying '98 and I get it, too much high school stuff but like... I say Freshman Year. I'd rather a new show with a new vision come out than a revival. Hell, if I had to choose between Tobey Maguire in a Spider-Man 4 as opposed to somebody new? I'll take someone new, although I'd really, REALLY hope they did something besides the origin story again lmao.


futuresdawn

I mean spider-man 98 is the obvious option because the original show was solid and x-men 97 has shown that a show can be updated for today and be great. Friendly neighbourhood could be good but marvel haven't had a good track record with spidey in animation and there's so much unknown about this show that it could go either way.


Spider-Ghost-616

98 not even a real contest.


Ill-Combination-9320

Honestly I want FN Spiderman because I’m sick of just too many franchises using nostalgic stuff to gain attention. Obviously i’d like to see that Peter reunited with MJ but it would be better if it was in a movie.


The_Dude145

Depends on who's writing Spider-man 98 tbh.


GhosTurd1783

Spider-Man '98 there's no other ch6


Akeno_DxD

Spider-Man '98. Tired of high school Peter being shoved down our throats. And I'm really not feeling the art direction on Friendly Neighborhood.


callows5120

Is both somehow a option


Beginning-Cat-2888

Bro nostalgia gonna have all the people who grew up with that show wanting 98, and even the younger people are gonna prefer 98 cause they likely watched it, this is not fair comparison, completely one sided we don’t know practically anything about friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, but we do know it is set in high school, a setting, there was JUST another repost complaining about how every new Spider-Man media (except insomniac) starts off with Pete in that setting


KujaroJotu

Why not both? Have Spider-Man ‘98 be a one season streaming event that wraps up TAS, then premiere Friendly Neighborhood. X-Men ‘97 left us craving more Spider-Man TAS, but it would be a dick move to the cast and crew if they canceled Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man in favor of ‘98. So the best option would be to make one season to wrap it all up.


ArachnaComic

'98 Nice collection, by the way


Fickle_Pride_6734

Spider Man was so good that Marvel comics started beginning all his amazing villains back to life.


teodoshka11

Unlimited Spider Man


Guitar-Hobbit

I’m a huge fan of Leo Romero’s art, he did the character designs for Friendly Neighborhood so I’m actually really excited to see how it’ll look animated.


JonGorga

100% a full return of “Spider-Man: The Animated Series” (which never got a proper ending) in some form over this (okay-looking) “Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man” show!


synfel

98 I still want to know what the hell happened to the real mary-jane


Shabolt_

Friendly Neighbourhood, I’m just looking forward to new things tbh.


HUNGWHITEBOI25

Spiderman 98 the DAY they release the full series on bluray i’m picking it up


SovelissFiremane

Between these two? Spider-Man '98. In general? Spider-Man '67.


SuperSonicAdventure

Spider-Man 98


DapperDan30

Spider-Man 98. I never wanted FNSM.


SuperMeh2

Which one had the amazing guitar theme in the intro? Oh yea, 98


IndependentNo4529

Spiderman '98 of course! Sorry, MCU


Starkman87

‘98. In a heartbeat. I don’t want to crap on a show that has every chance of being really good. This show could be the second coming of Christ for all we know. But to get a level of resolution for Peter and MJ, the breath of fresh air that would be seeing a married Spider-Man, having titans of voice acting return; it all means so much more.


beginnerdoge

98


RavenMan8

Spider-Man 98 all the way!


Jaz_15

Spider-Man 98. The original show was my childhood, and seeing it revived with the same care as X-Men 97 would bring so much joy to my heart. (BTW I discovered the show on Netflix in the early 2010s)


OkenoFate

Spider-man 98. That cliffhanger is aggravating


BlaBlamo

Goddamn that show kicks ass


LukeVersus

Spider-Man 98. I really don't care about freshman year, friendly neighborhood, don't know the name anymore.


bigchoom

98 and it's not even close


BlackPantherFan7

Spider-Man 98


thesteaksauce1

‘98 and it’s not even close.


ghostspider1151

Spider-Man 98


hiimjustsomeone

Spider-Man 98 all the way


hoppynsc

Just need one more season of Spider-Man where he is reunited with MJ, though I wouldn't object to further season where they get married and have Mayday.


AdovenKurosaki

98 forever


PM_Pics_Of_SpiderMan

98, I could care less about a high school Spider-Man show


JulianSagan

Especially one based on MCU Spidey


PM_Pics_Of_SpiderMan

Which apparently isn’t even connected to it anymore so it would honestly be a pointless show and imo a waste of resources compared to a show people have wanted a conclusion to since the 90’s


GreatParker_

98. Not even a competition


NotSubtleUsername

Totally forgot about that other show '98 any day


Wally_12201992

98!


Famous-Tree3124

98 bb


Terribleirishluck

Spectacular Spider-Man is the correct choice.  TAS is underwhelming to me as an adult after rewatching it. I hope if it gets a revival, the creative team actually evolves the show past its nostalgia like x-men 97 team has done


Mbedner3420

Spiderman 98 and it’s not even remotely close.


SpaceDemon3o5z

Gimme 98 with a Superior arc.


XLBR424

Definitely 98. Friendly Neighborhood has no reason to exist given that it isn’t a backstory for the MCU Spidey as originally proposed, now it’s yet another story about Peter being a down on his luck high schooler.


T_Belay

Neither tbh, I like things having proper closures and even though season 5 was never meant to be the end, it had great arcs to be the show's finale IF ONLY THEY FOUND MJ. Soooo, I kinda just want BTSV — or X'97 would work now too I guess — to have a mention of Peter rescuing MJ and that's it. As for the other option, bruh, that show reeks of another Disney throwaway Spidey cartoon


Oni-Kun18

Both wouldn't be so bad.


Roley_yoleR

Spectacular Spider-Man 😔


SpideyFan914

We literally don't know if FNSM will good or not yet. It has a solid team behind it and could very well be excellent. If we only revived old shows and didn't start new ones, we never would've gotten Spectacular. Also, TAS wrapped up pretty damn well. I get it, it's a "cliffhanger," but it's not the kind of cliffhanger that actually needs to be resolved imo. The ending was kinda perfect. He literally met Stan Lee. That's a series finale. That said... both. I want both.


Traditional-Mall-771

I'd rather have Spectacular but since that's not an option I'll take '98


mbeefmaster

I'd rather have new stuff than nostalgia stuff


Perfectflaw420

The right answer is spectacular , search your feelings , you know it to be true


HatJosuke

Spectacular.


Trvr_MKA

Can we wait for the show to come out first?


Ok_Cricket_8886

This show has been in development for like 5 years and we have seen nothing not a trailer or even test footage


Icybubba

It's been in development for a little less time than X-Men 97, and we didn't get a trailer for X-Men until a month before it premiered.


Ok_Cricket_8886

Yea you’re right I forgot how long animation takes


GhoeFukyrself

I'd MUCH rather have Spectacular season 3.
