Spider-Man: The New Animated Series/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Hilarious in Hindsight: Christina wants to be Spider-Man's girlfriend. Very badly. Tara Strong, who provided her voice, is now playing Mary-Jane in the new Ultimate Spider-Man cartoon. Hilariously enough though, Mary Jane isn't Spider-Man's girlfriend in that series and probably will never be.
  • Nightmare Fuel: The Lizard himself is full of this.
  • Older Than They Think: Some took note of the Lizard talking in his appearance on the show. While the comics have portrayed him as a savage beast, this wasn't the first time he had ever spoken. His very first appearance in The Sixties and his appearances on Spider-Man: The Animated Series, for example.
  • Too Good to Last: It only had one season and to its credit, quite a few people thought that it was quite a good series.
  • What the Hell Casting Agency: Keith Carradine as Jonah, trying desperately to emulate JK Simmons' take on the character. This bit of casting was seen as particularly strange, as Ed Asner was in the recurring cast as an anti-Spider-Man cop.
  • Unfortunate Implications: Though there are visible friendly minorities (Indy, Meng), every black character on the show is antagonistic in some way (The Kingpin, Talon, Turbo Jet, Keith David's irritated FBI agent, one of Max's fraternity hazers).
